I have not lost any btcs on gox, however its very hard for me to believe 750K btcs were simply stolen. Malleability can not be an explanation. I also think there is no way that these many coins were stolen back in 2011, and Karpeles was able to operate Gox for so long without major hassle.

Somethings don't add up, and I think this recent discovery hints that there could be more than theft. If verified, this actually goes along with 2 other potential theories:

a. The keys are not lost, but time-locked (and somehow they may still be stolen)

b. US government has control of GOX wallet

I'd be curious to hear your opinions as well.

Hey everyone,

I read this article today, which made me think, that bitcoin is here to stay, and also that we will have many new 'niche' coins arriving in coming months and years.

If you have also similar informative, insightful articles, feel free to share.

Cheers,
