How Ripple Rips you: "The founders of Ripple Labs created 100 billion XRP at Ripple's inception. No more can be created according to the rules of the Ripple protocol. Of the 100 billion created, 20 billion XRP were retained by the creators, seeders, venture capital companies and other founders. The remaining 80 billion were given to Ripple Labs. Ripple Labs intends to distribute and sell 55 of that 80 billion XRP to users and strategic partners. Ripple Labs also had a giveaway of under 200 million XRP (0.002% of all XRP) via World Community Grid that was later discontinued.[29] Ripple Labs will retain the remaining 25 billion"

I still think the price is way too low because MtGox is used by speculators for short term trading due to its very good volatility and liquidity.
So if you are an intraday trader, what do you play since 10 days ? Of course you sell hard to make people panic and reach their stop loss, at which point you start to buy back.
It is low because of that reason, intra day trading.
I don't buy into bankrupcy view the level of fees MtGox earns every day.
I think this company had been too big, too fast BUT they are not running out of cash.
They just have 1 million customers while it is sized for 10,000 clientx max !
Give them time ! I am (pretty) sure we will get our money back and BTC will rise again at least to the same value of the other market places, like Kraken.
DON'T fall into PANIC SELLING !

what's that? Can you translate it? But it is about MtGox POLAND. It seems like CBA (gov division to fight corruption) is during investigation about MtGox Poland. |

what's that? Can you translate it? Regardless of the authority above, Mt. Gox remains as a company in which the anticorruption bureau of Warsaw is interested... [blacked out]... [signed and sealed] |

LOL gox . Such an awesome announcement just going to delay as long a s possible and sell 5 dollars shares until they have dropped bitcoin to alltime laws while gox thieves flood legitamate bitcoin sites with mtgoxs inferior bitcoin such a travesty. The fact that gox trading isn't shut down until people can withdraw just goes to show what people in mainstream currency have been saying all along (bitcoin in itself is a fraud)
I am relieved mt gox employees will now be secure working from their residences instead of plush japan offices. Looking forward for next weeks gox announcement how they are working feverishly yada yada all coins safe as bitcoin keeps losing value .

It's amazing to see how this scenario is playing out exactly as described: http://www.coindesk.com/mt-gox-may-headed-bankruptcy/There's absolutely no reason for Mt.Gox to have these kinds of delays. I was really optimistic about Gox being able to recover but there is no going back now. Processing withdrawals will result in a bank run in which case they'll be out of business. Not opening btc withdrawals will result in the price going close to zero, in which case they are effectively dead as an exchange. I have no stake in Gox, no money, no btc so i'm not loosing anything but i'm invested in Bitcoin. Up until a few days ago i was hoping for Gox to fix their issues so the markets would stabilize. Now i can't help but wish this company would close for good and let everything go back to normal. It will crash the price (temporarily, i hope). But at least we can then move on. This is like the Sword of Damocles hoovering over Bitcoin and it's hurting the comunity as a whole. |

It would be the best thing for him to do, i think. |

Although I haven't got funds @mtgox anymore, I'll supply you with some information in order to support anybody who wants to sue mtgox because I'm very interested in seeing Mark Karpeles at court for his actions. lost quiet a bit during the last days when leaving mtgox. throughout the last week immediately after the first press release of mtgox regarding halted btc withdrawals, you could observe huge rhythmic btc dumps @mtgox every 2-5 minutes following always the same pattern ("the whale of mtgox"). the sum of these dumps up to now is approx 140000 btc at an average price of around us$270. ie a us$38 mio sell-off. there were a few stuck levels eg at us$261.24 yesterday and us$148.15 the day before yesterday. these were manipulated levels by the whale serving all asks above these levels every 2-5 minutes. this is very difficult to do through the api of mtgox. but very easy if you're in charge of the order book itself. Therefore, you'll have to deal with either a very risky investor who is going to sue mtgox as well for his us$38+ mio funds @mtgox pretty soon. if you take into account that most of the trading fees at mtgox were paid in btc throughout the last years (default setting), it is more likely that the whale rushing all the btc on the market is mtgox resp Mark Karpeles himself. This would be an easy way to transfer the customers fiat collected throughout the last years to his own account reducing his liability in € and us$. if you further take into account, that maybe a good portion of btc stored at mtgox got stolen, mtgox might blame the bitcoin protocol ("transaction malleability") as a cause for the loss. the result: Mark Karpeles got the customers fiat, the customers got stolen btc. the customers could file a charge against an unknown person for stealing their btc. what does this mean? --> all data on the servers of mtgox must be assured immediately in order to investigate the fraud. ressources: http://bitcoincharts.com/http://bitcoinwisdom.com/http://coinsight.org/mtgox.html |

throughout the last week immediately after the first press release of mtgox regarding halted btc withdrawals, you could observe huge rhythmic btc dumps @mtgox every 2-5 minutes following always the same pattern ("the whale of mtgox"). the sum of these dumps up to now is approx 140000 btc at an average price of around us$270. ie a us$38 mio sell-off. there were a few stuck levels eg at us$261.24 yesterday and us$148.15 the day before yesterday. these were manipulated levels by the whale serving all asks above these levels every 2-5 minutes. this is very difficult to do through the api of mtgox. but very easy if you're in charge of the order book itself.
Is that sum of 140000 btc an honest estimate if you consider someone selling, buying back lower, then selling again? This doesn't show in the volume, but they might be the same btc going in circles. I think many high volume traders got out some time ago and the volume of Gox is highly overestimated. |

140000 btc is the honest estimate, if you sum all sell orders of 30-200btc following the same periodical pattern during the last week @mtgox. there was no real possibility to buy back lower. as soon as the whale stopped dumping for some minutes, the price rushed up again because the order book above was very thin. you could have bought only 300btc and the price would have been back to us$500+ levels. the whale dumped more then 1000btc per hour. many users where irritated, who the hell sells off all his bitcoins at such a low level.
