Alternative explanation: he really likes Ecco Domani wine, and made himself a really half-assed / crooked logo:

Is your money tied up in the pending transfer such that you can no longer convert it back to Bitcoin and withdraw it?

Because unless you're no longer able to do exactly that, you're pretty brave and/or trusting.

Yes, you're going to take a big loss buying BTC at Gox's prices -- but the reason they are so high is precisely because nobody can get their damned money out. How do you know they'll even be in existence tomorrow, or next week, or next month ... etc? That's a lot of money to have someplace that (for all we know) could implode in the near future.

I find it infuriating and ridiculous that every single website I've ever visited uses CAPTCHAs in completely the wrong way: they make you input a bunch of information, and then when you (inevitably) fail the CAPTCHA entry, you end up having to re-enter your password (and sometimes other fields) before resubmitting.

Instead the pattern should be: FIRST solve the CAPTCHA, THEN be directed to the actual registration page -- that way you don't have to keep retyping shit over and over. Submit once and it's done!

Edit: Hah! Irony of ironies -- First I tried to submit this post, and then I was sent back to the edit page with a red warning: "While you were typing, a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post." Okay, so I scroll down and look at the new post -- nothing worth editing my reply over, hit submit. Then I'm told I already posted, and can't resubmit for 360 seconds. @!##@#!
