lol @ anyone thinking the Gox staff is going to "cut and run". Have people become that stupid? I guess the current price is a reflection of massive herd mentality and stupidity. Oh well, more profit for me.
It's not the staff who are the problem, rather the management. Stranger things have happened in the 'real' world, so I don't know why anyone is making such determinisms about crypto where anything can happen. |

So, what do the enlightened minds at Bitcointalk think?

Risto is smart. But smart people do dumb things from time to time.
Indeed, like post hurtful comments about people without actually thinking. This is the second time we've had this conversation; you do seem to let fly first, think later.
And in this case he trusted Gox which I would have never done. Risto will be ok. He will get his btc out when they reopen withdrawals. But he has been stressing about it and yelling at people in the service discussions threads for the last few days. Risto is prone to paranoia and "worst case" beliefs.
I don't know what Risto's situation is and have not been keeping abreast, so can't comment. However, risk assessment means addressing 'worst' case' scenarios, so I imagine he has to explore these possibilities. One thing is certain - no-one knows what will happen - this is Bitcoin and anything can, and often does, happen. Last week no-one fore saw that Gox would blame the Bitcoin protocol - I didn't and if you did you kept it to yourself. Being strident about your point of view doesn't make it accurate. I like you Creekbore.  Likewise. And I like keeping you in check |

stop quoting fonzie you n00b
Sometimes someone's entire point of existing is to serve as an example to others how not to exist ... you do not want to be that person. Sort of a destructive approach to character building? Wouldn't it be better if we could aspire to be like the people who impress us, rather than try to NOT be like the people who don't? You life might not be a complete waste if it can serve as a warning to others. That is fonzie. You do not want to be like him, step back. How does it come that you libertarian anarchists, all power the people guys... are most of the time the biggest narrow minded fascists and tend to describe yourself as outstanding smart and noble? I even received death threats via PM in here already... Unlike you i never insult other people, i´m just trollin Bitcoin.. If true I'm sorry to hear that Fonzie. Irregardless of what your beliefs are or even what nonsense you post here, there is no need for personal abuse or threats. |

Not the sharpest tool in the shed. But, I do think he may have been arbitraging at one time from there. Still, not the sharpest tool in the shed.
So, you're a really happy bunny, you just like abusing people here? A couple of weeks back you were moaning about the dwindling standards of debate and took refuge in Risto's thread of maths and charts and hi-fallutin theories (which I really enjoy I must add)....but now he's a sandwich short of a picnic? |

Or those who speculate on other people's bank accounts eh windy? Windy is a millionaire...he's stated it here before. |

I'm betting that mtgox says they need more time before they can start withdrawals on monday, causing another dip to the 500s everywhere else.
Its a possibility. If they do start withdrawals i wonder if the might limit the amounts to begin with - it would be a sensible thing to do, would anyone agree? |

Anybody still doubt that Gox traders are the dumbest in the world? Anyone with more than half a brain cell over there who is keeping a close eye on the first withdrawal confirmation or announcement is going to get coins at 30cents on the dollar. They will get coins for $260-300 that will go up to $800 in minutes. Actually anyone with half a brain cell already bought within the last 36 hours to secure their easy money spot.
Gox bitcoiners = the ultimate level of stupid.
That's an awful lot of stupid people with an awful lot of money. Well, Windy's a millionaire.... but he just seems very angry these days though, which just shows money can't buy you the most important things in life. Oh no. I am not angry. I'm just amazed by the immaturity that drives some of these market moves. I am actually only annoyed by two things on this forum. One, trolls that lie. And, two, paranoid and "worst caser" personalities that lead people to feel like constant victims and without power or control. Which leads directly to things like $270 bitcoins on Gox. I'll add a 3rd peeve. People like Mark K. who obviously are not emotionally equipped to run a professional business. It just makes Bitcoin look stupid. Which slows everything down in the promotion of this incredible technology. But besides that I am happy as a lark.  I'll try to add more smiley faces to lighten the tone of my posts. I just wish I had a good way to get fiat to Gox. But, alas, hopefully this will all be over in a few days and we can get back to normal around here. "Apart from all the trivial inconsequential things that make me really angry.... I'm happy..."   |

I just had a weird thought: Wonder if Risto bought at 450 on MtSux?
Risto is too smart to be anywhere near Gox don't ya think? I think he's everywhere. Even on gox. Risto is omnipresent? |

Certainly not enough to buy happiness. That takes 10! LOL....I heard it had gone up |

God once $266 goes. This is the first time that a previous ATH has been broken.
The capitulation we needed? Huh? Why would that be needed? I'm just quoting the TA-heads who always say that sort of thing: remember August/September last year? The pointyheads kept saying "we need to go to USD40, we must see capitulation or BTC will never go past its ATH"....that really worked out So, perhaps longer term this will satisfy everyone's graphs and spreadsheets? EDIT: And indeed we can see more pictures of trains.... |

I've been trying to apply some logic to this situation and am not able to reach a rational solution except that MtSux is truly insolvent and a select few insiders know it.
So you trade GoxBTC for GoxUSD? How is that going to help in a bankruptcy? Good point. So, then no rationale. Just emotions? I guess TERA and the rest of the day trading crew feel there will be a resolution at some point and feel they can exploit the volatile market in the meantime. |
