Title: Bitcoin will still go down short term
Post by: psylence on March 23, 2014, 11:39:01 PM
Mtgox "finding" these 200,000 coins will inevitably soon result in them enabling withdrawals. In return some of these coins will be sold off at other exchanges, it will only will take a small portion to drive the price down further. Not to mention the other "stolen" coins that may be being sold off at the same time or inevitably will be. To add to all this there is a low point in consumer confidence in the coin due to mtgox and other exchanges experiencing many security breaches.

There is still 650,000 coins missing. MtGox won't open withdraws until they lower that down to about 100,000.

Zero chance withdrawals enabled with any missing coins during a bankruptcy proceeding.

I see, any estimation of how long that will take?

Probably more than six months. http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2014/03/06/mt-gox-bitcoin-bankruptcy/

I lost some bitcoins on Mt Gox. Do I have to do anything to make a claim?

Also bankruptcy proceedings can take a long time.
Stay tuned, but don't expect fast action.

It might take awhile before there will be withdrawals. I actually wonder how are they going to split 200k among so many people.

The lawyers & administrators will eat most of the meat off the corporate carcass. The rest of us will be lucky to be tossed a bone or two.

Exactly.

According to the assets and liabilities listed on the Japanese bankruptcy application, there should be about $0.60 on the dollar. People will be lucky to see $0.20 IMHO.

All I know is that I won't be holding my breath that they will do the right thing based on their track record.  Whole we found 200,000 coins speaks volumes about how their operation was run.

Instead of focusing on tactical short term price drivers we should be looking at longer term secular drivers like eosystem innovation and adoption

Indeed we should, Bitcoin is not mentioned to be profitable for "short terms"...
