This gives a lot of ammunition to the bitcoin naysayers, the amount of gloating is palpable.

This is TOTALLY irresponsible behavior from Gox.  Not that it's surprising but how can they suddenly say they'll stop withdrawals but then continue to allow trading?  Thereby crashing the price.  What a bunch of fools that work over there.

Always, always be suspicious of any kind of financial institution that has strange withdrawal limits and requirements.

Bullshit.

Let's suppose mtgox "rectifies" and halts trading as well, then people will yell around about how irresponsible it is to halt trading when the BTC withdrawal problem has nothing to do with trading. And the price could plummet in the other exchanges anyway.

The good news is that naysayers have been predicting that if Mt. Gox closed, Bitcoin would fail. They have been proved wrong.

There's presently about $120 difference in price between the cavirtex and bitstamp exchanges, to name a couple. Plenty of arbitrage opportunities, if that's your thing.

I smell mischief - especially since the msm are bleating "plummet", but as always it is hard to tell who is doing what to whom.

Back when the price was barely $50 or less people were saying the exact same thing, this isn't going away, people are going to come up with whatever bullshit they can to try and scare people away from cryptocurrencies.

..and none of it will work. In fact, it'll have the exact opposite effect.

LOL i'm not worried about that. Because i have accounts in ALL banks at my location Cheesy. If one terminate my account, i will just move fund to another one. Stupid banks think they can control how we use our money.

Oh please ..... GOX price is not real. Dont be a fool and stop quoting Gox price for gods sake. B4 this "crash" they only have 25% of the market. Guess how much it would be after this?

When you cant withdraw ANY fund from the exchange, it doesnt matter what price. Gox price is an illusion. USD fund takes any where from 4-5 months. .... Such jokes.

I bet the "whales" that you see on GOX are Mark's friends and associates....

On the good side, if gox allows btc withdrawals the price will skyrocket. Other exchanges will probably follow.

The fools are the people that use gox. How long can it actually keep on operating?
