MTGOX <-> BTC BID/ASK

[biodieselchris]

The parity you are trying to use does not work when you are not able to move either $ or BTC out of Gox. If you could move one of those out you could use your logic, like when you could move BTC out you could use the equilibrium to find that Mt gox $ was worth about 85% of real $. However when you can't get either out the ratios does really not say anything anymore.

I was thinking the other way if I had $690 to spend I could go to coinbase and own 1.0 btc or put it in gox and get 1.19 stipulating I don't have the ability to get it out and the price difference IS THE IMPLIED RISK.

Unfortunately the price of Bitcoin on Gox is influenced by a lot of other factors like some people thinking $ will be easier to get out in a bankruptcy, people trading the money they can't do anything else with etc.

When you could move BTC and the price on Gox was 15% higher than Coinbase I am sure you would not make the conclusion that BTC on Mt. Gox was 15% safer than on Coinbase because you would get more coins on Coinbase for the same amount...

Just letting people know you can now see the open order book right on the front page of https://www.bitcoinbuilder.com/ and the highest current bid is .73 BTC per Gox BTC!

I would use the following method to price these deals:

- MtGox was 15% higher when BTC worked and fiat worked as well as it supposedly does now (there is no evidence that any fiat has been sent out since long time but let's believe there is). Since coins had the same value as in Bitstamp, we must conclude that GoxBux were appraised at 1/1.15 = 0.87.

- Now neither works. So we take the discount of GoxBTC relative to BitstampBTC (currently 570/642 = 0.89) and multiply it with the purchasing power of GoxBTC: 0.89*0.87 = 0.77.

We can conclude that GoxBTC should have 77% of the value of BitstampBTC.

Prior to DDOS, BitstampBTC was = blockchain BTC. If you believe that the DDOS causes BitstampBTC to be in a discount, apply this discount to the equation, which results in a slightly lower value.

it's kind of interesting that the open market price for BTC over the last 2+ days has been VERY volatile, and in the gox/BTC market, individuals in this forum have kept a pretty tight ask of roughly ~0.75 per gox coin. The former has millions of players and the latter has maybe 50 so conventional economic theory is it would be reversed.

Just interesting price theory, I'm not making a statement that I think it is low or high. The market is always right, after all!

this is very close to actual price, so the theory does work well, at least in matching the conclusion.

Want to buy another 10 goxbtc at 70%. Pm me or skype at same username if interested.

[testerx]

lulz I just realized Mt Gox could buy its user's goxBTC for less realBTC and come up with an insane profit 

hahahaha, how true, they could just keep making scary sounding announcements then buy out their own liabilities for pennies on the dollar which would shore up all the losses they took from account seizures.

lol

Cooperation: I live in China. You can see that price in China exchanges are highest nowadays. And withdrawing money is very easy and fast.
So we can cooperate. I can help you to sell your real btc in China exchanges to share profit, if there is enough spread.
I also have Hongkong bank account and USA bank account. But most of money has been converted into bitcoin.
(Not only me, every Chinese can do it)

Also It's very easy to earn a 7% to 15% APY, when (nearly/actually) no risk, in China.
Don't invest until you know where the profit come out and where the risk is.

Buying Gox BTC at 72%.

I have been a member here since May 2011 and have already made several successful trades in this thread. I have also made a ton of other deals through this site without any problems, just search my username.
Please PM me if you want to sell.

[CrashX]

Why will any body paid 70%, its already under value -20% on its own market. If you compare BTC-e vs Mt.Gox.  If you compare other markets its margin is bigger, around -30%.

[TheOrri]

Will sell GOX btc for 75% if anyone is interested. So I'll give 4 GoxBTC for every 3 real BTC.

If you have more trust, I go first. Otherwise the orherway around or a trusted escrow.

update: [Coins sold, did a succesfull trade with daburone]

[cryp2wizz]
