Title: Were MtGox's reported even real?
Post by: MoonShadow on March 19, 2014, 11:49:30 PM
Looking at BitcoinWatch.com and Bitcoinaverage.com regularly since the collapse of MtGox, I've come to question whether or not their reported trade volume was even real towards the end, or if they had done something underhanded to prop up their status as the 'premier' bitcoin currency exchange.  If so, for how long has this been going on?  I have long suspected that the role of speculation within the bitcoin economy isn't nearly as significant as it appeared, but now I suspect that it wasn't even real for some time.

That's 3 minutes of my lifespan I can never get back.

BTC Volume is very low now because the markets are not moving.
