Don't they earn btc's from every trade as well as USD?
Are they the huge 25k dumps we always see or do they do it slowly in the background?
Just wondering.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

They can sell on their own market too? All money that's trasnfered to them for use on their site they hold but can't use for paying bills obviously, so they can just fill buy orders and free up the help USD for use in the company if they wanted too. I doubt they'd do it all at once as then they'd drop the market price and get less compared to doing it in small amounts, that and I doubt they'd let the business get to a point where they'd need to this in any scale anyway.

If they're holding them thats great, but it would be nice to be more open about it. If they sell they get to collect fees again from the unsuspecting buyer. Not saying this is the case but you never know these days. |

How are they any different than any other seller? |

You write in a tone as if this would be something "wrong". Any why would you want to know what do they do with their money, be it BTC, or USD, or do they exchange one to the other. Does MtGox ask you how do you spend your money? They can exchange their USD or BTC one way or the other on their own exchange like any other customer, and its nobody's else business. I bet they trade them back and forth whenever its convenient for them or they see opportunity for profit, be it for falling/rising exchange rate, or just for the extra 0.65%. The more they trade it, the better for the market because it gets more liquidity. Anyone whining about them making an extra 0.65% out of the 0.65% fees they already made, should just mind his own business, instead of picking at perfectly legitimate trading. |

I wasn't whining I am merely curious. I did not complain once about the trade fees, I find them quite reasonable actually. I don't even use them, but they do have an effect on the overall bitcoin market. |

We don't sell those BTC. Instead we use those (for example for bitomat). |

whether they sell the BTC on their own exchange site, hold, or sell it to bitomat, who cares?? it's their money, they're entitled to do whatever they want with it. no one cares what you do with your money/coins

People are worried because as an exchange we could know when large buyers or sellers are getting ready to enter the market, and we could manipulate the market beforehand to profit from it. That's one reason that makes it practically impossible for us to buy or sell bitcoins. |
