And they will invest all their money in "shares" of a "Bitcoin Corporation" that has no billions in assets, no a diverse range of products including electronic equipment, ATMs, and cloud-mining positions, no currency transfer/exchange services, escrow services, gambling services, no millions of potential customers at thousands of BTC-accepting vendors, no millions in revenue for equipment makers, auto dealers, electronics vendors, restaurants, and any other BTC-accepting merchant, no a multitude of decentralized business plans, and will pay no dividends, ever; because they believe know that one day it will be worth a million dollars a share a lot more than what they paid for them.

I follow this thread by just checking the most recent posts every now and then and I can see nobody replied so I will do my best !
(some ppl in this gossip column/mothers meeting are just rude though the thread moves quickly)

Anyway I'm interested in the same thing since I'm UK based and while I've not yet tried withdrawing anything from Gox I understand GBP/EUR withdrawals work just fine via their bank in Poland though I would advise small amounts say no more than £1000 at a time. At that level I'm sure I've seen people post they it's taken a few days to a week to have the money land in their account. 
It's USD withdrawals that are still broken and I understand there is no way to get USD out.

I would also recommend trying BTC-E if you can suffer the price difference and a euro withdrawal. I've had no problems at all with moving money in with them via SEPA though their verification process is a little odd. You submit your documents via a support ticket referencing your first transfer so there was a delay of a few days the first time but after that I made multiple deposits with just 2 to 3 days from HSBC to cash showing to spend in BTC-E

Hope this helps !

Hi TakeTheSkyRoad,
On behalf of myself and the mrs, thank you for taking the time out to reply.

We're just trying to extract ourselves from Gox bit by bit.
I'm a long time user of BTC-e but I wouldn't trust them with fiat deposits...bigger fans of BitStamp

Have fun.

Well at the time I had fiat to pay in and I was feeling impatient so after getting scans of my documents sorted I submitted verifications with bitstamp and mtgox.  At the same time I did the same with btc-e with a test deposit.

By the time bitstamp verified me (3 weeks I think) I'd made many deposits with btc-e and I think the mtgox verification took 2 or 3 months I think by which time I was fully paid in via btc-e. The multiple deposits were simply because HSBC limit how much I can pay out via SEPA and I wasn't going to make my next transfer till the last one cleared.
I can understand your caution and I was the same but the step by step approach worked for me and I figured bitcoin isn't for the faint-hearted anyway so what's a little extra risk to get cheaper coins  Stamp is level with btce now but it was about $50 higher at the time (pre-china).

My only complaint with btce is the volume is low and a "wall" is 30 bitcoins lol

Edit : Also I want to see the full bid depth and I've found that available anywhere yet

Granted Stamp isn't a great exchange in terms of UI/Ux but it has the "basics" of money in/money out covered.

Glad it worked out for you with BTCe but Nan's been there over a year and could tell you a few tales...

Well my tales are only very recent ones so maybe they shaped up some in the last 3 months.
I did first dip my toe into bitcoins back in May but that was via virwox which meant I could use paypal but it's costly and unusable for significant amounts.

Momentum chasers are parasites that increase volatility and harm bitcoin adoption by merchants.

I admit that momentum is one factor, can't be ignored, and in extreme cases may be characterized as a rush to the egress, resulting in spikes. Even so, higher trading frequency is beneficial to liquidity, and in most profitable cases will reduce volatility; most higher frequency trades are mean-reversion trades, at least in my paradigm.

Ok im going to sell for now but will deposit more money for some possible cheap coins. Advance happy Chinese new year guys!

Haha, good luck educating the unwashed math-less anti TA/anti daytrading crowd. Might as well try to explain quantum mechanics to a brick

Yes there are power speakers attending today:

Panel 1 (10:00am – 11:00am) – Law Enforcement and Virtual Currencies
Cyrus R. Vance, Jr – District Attorney of New York County
Richard B. Zabel – Deputy U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York

maybe they manage to be as bad as the winkleys

Certain characters in history are paradigms of evil.  I would place Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. among them.  Does this make me guilty of evading Godwin's Law?
