mt gox?! mwahahahah!

mt gox is dommed you moron!

You should avoid Mt. Gox now in my opinion, as it takes quite a long time to receive a single payout. You can find more about Mt. Gox and its problems here on this forum.

There are also many alternatives. I haven't compared them by myself, but I'm sure you can find more information on this forum about this by using the search option, in the right upper corner of your screen.

What are you playing?  Arbitrage or the Long/Short position?  If you're playing Arb then play between bitstamp/coinbase and btc-e.  If you're just playing the long/short position, then play on bitstamp only.  I believe they have the most volume now.  Also btc-e has the lowest volume so its easy to buy them cheapest there but its hard to get money in espcecially if you are located in USA.

If you're just trading between XBT and USD, then the fact that you cannot withdraw USD from Mt.Gox is not a problem.  However, it does point to a bigger issue.  The U.S. government is waging war on Mt.Gox for not having the proper licenses in place to do business with U.S. customers, and they have seized millions from their bank accounts already.  There is a danger that Mt.Gox could fold.  Their market share is definitely on the decline.

If you're not in the U.S., I would be looking at Coinfloor.  Their fees go as low as 0% for high-volume market makers.  (They define a market maker as someone who places limit orders that are not immediately executed.)

If you're in the U.S., Bitstamp is probably the best bet.

CampBX is the largest U.S.-based exchange, but they have low volume, high spreads, and a lousy user interface.

thanx guys!
ive made accoutn with BTC-E deposited em over 500$ with 1 of their methods that needs ticket load.. and its 48h and money still not i nthe bank.

so long/short is best on that other site? arbitrage would propably need some bot to be fast enough. are there any?

Try CoinMKT, we allow you to trade any currency pair for 7 different crypto

So ideally, a FinCEN (MSB) accepted/compliant site with low(er) transaction fees, no withdraw fee & immediate dispersal would be ideal? (From a U.S. perspective)

I day traded for a while, but when it was around $100 a few months ago, I decided to become fully invested and spend my time more productively.  The problem with day trading Bitcoin is that its overall uptrend overshadows its volatility.  You invariably wind up holding fiat through major run ups.  I definitely made more by holding the past few months than I would have by day trading.

There's no authority saying it will 'crush to 70-150' ever again.... I'm betting on the opposite. The more people use it (china, jeezy) the more it's inherently worth.

What's going to happen?  Are the hedge funds going to start taking "small" (million dollar) positions?  Is the Winklevoss ETF going to be approved?  Is the Chinese government going to continue to not disallow investing in Bitcoin?  These things could take us to $10000 and beyond incredibly fast.

Are the regulators going to take down Mt.Gox?  Are more countries going to ban Bitcoin?  Are the news reports going to turn negative again?  These things could cause a crash.

Compare the magnitude of the potential loss to the magnitude of the potential gain.

In the absence of concrete knowledge otherwise, my best guess is that Bitcoin will continue to grow on average by a factor of 7 every year.  A $1000 investment would become $2.4 million in 4 years.  It might happen faster or slower.  It would be a pity to miss it!

[jzcjca00]

Also consider this.  The buildup to the April bubble started around $10.  Today's buildup started around $100.  I therefore expect the peak to be at least an order of magnitude higher.
