Why trade on MtGox

[Ninietz]

Why trade on MtGox;

Knowing that it is (very) difficult to get fund/BTC in and out of MtGox;

what is the reason/advantages that one trades on MtGox and not one of the other echanges ?

Thx in advance.

Most people trade because of higher volume and price and only withdraw the BTC.

Is deposit also difficult? I thought deposit is relatively easy. Definitely advantage is to sell there and cash out with risk of withdrawal. Also, it is sensitive and have high beta.

Cos people got trapped there when they stopped being able to give people their money back.

Gox volume has dropped off significantly and is increasingly becoming less and less relevant.

Who cares what Bitcoin costs on Gox if anything that is actually priced in Bitcoin tracks Bitstamp (somewhere that people can actually get their money out of).

The btc extraction lever still works pretty well
It's the fiat choke points that suck

I think security is the main reason. In one year time I think people will recognize bitstamp as n.1 trading place.

I agree with NeedForBitcoin.  It's because of the volume/price.

Lately there has been no volume in MtGox. BTC-e leads the traffic followed by BitStamp.
