Discuss: Do you think Gox is intentionally trying to damage BTC?

[Holliday]

Does anyone know if this bitcoinbuilder.com works for trading your GOX bitcoin for Real bitcoin?

here's a quick way to get your USD's out of Gox:

Buy Bitcoin!

I am only passing the message. I don't use Gox so I don't know if this actually works or not.

[HorseCoin]

well in order to be a standard bubble chart it *HAD* to fall down to $100 at some point.  luckily Mt. Gox did it and spared the other sites the agony

[bitcoinminer]

I think they're insolvent, period. Whether through sheer incompetence and a ton of missteps, or some blatant criminal activity, either way it's bad for BTC and they need to step aside / try to make it right.

  maybe...

[Unacceptable]

I think it is time to tax the Cypriots and use the funds to bail Mark out.

Thanks for the laugh!!!!!!!!!

I think the whole thing is hilarious and I'm really enjoying buying up these cheap coins.

I especially enjoy the jokes about the coffee, what kind of grown-ass man drinks a coffee milkshake in the morning?

i dont know why u have to insult him over a desert-like coffee. i mean this is 2014, traditional breakfasts and coffees are gone. plus he is pretty fat, pointing this out if u have not noticed and so its not at all out of place to see that beverage.

They're too incompetent to intentionally damage BTC.

[BadBear]

Maybe we should collaborate with the miners, and skim 10% from every bitcoin address and bail MtGox out.

Edit: Crap, got beaten to the joke

[coins101]

If there was a big dump of coins or a series of dumps on the run-up to the fiasco, then Gox might have known they could sell high, impact the market and buy-back cheap.

Sorry to say it, but this is what regulators do. If someone intentionally manipulates the market, they go to jail. 

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know - I'm scum for mentioning regulation.  On the flip side, $3-$5bn USD has been wiped off the price of Bitcoin in the last few months and probably double that in reputational and brand damage.

You can go to jail for stealing $100 from a cash register; losing $3-$5bn gets you hate mail.

Incompetent to do pretty much anything.

interesting points. ok, if mt.gox is intentionally trying to damage btc, then all it means is it's not gonna end yet. it could go on until btc is down on the ground.  or at least they'll try to.

JED SAVE US!

[DubFX]

They just seem to take all the events lightly..barely caring about them lol

"The situation surrounding Mt. Gox has led some investors to believe it is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and that bitcoins on the exchange may become worthless.

Discussion on Bitcointalk.org, an online forum, touched on the office move, as well as questions about whether Mt. Gox was going to collapse or is a Ponzi scheme, or is intentionally trying to destabilize the digital currency. One participant suggested Mt. Gox is “sabotaging” the currency for someone’s personal benefit."

Made my day.

Your post made me laugh, so I'm not sure if you're also making fun of the coffee now.

In case you were serious, I insulted him over his desert-like coffee because this is the type of drink girls would drink at my middle school and high school.

Do we really want someone who has the same beverage choice as a teenage girl to be representing Bitcoin?

[grifferz]

I agree, he should be replaced by that dude who went to jail for posting explosives through the US mail.

Or that one guy who allegedly is a paedophile.

So many choices of figurehead.
