How Ripple Rips you: "The founders of Ripple Labs created 100 billion XRP at Ripple's inception. No more can be created according to the rules of the Ripple protocol. Of the 100 billion created, 20 billion XRP were retained by the creators, seeders, venture capital companies and other founders. The remaining 80 billion were given to Ripple Labs. Ripple Labs intends to distribute and sell 55 of that 80 billion XRP to users and strategic partners. Ripple Labs also had a giveaway of under 200 million XRP (0.002% of all XRP) via World Community Grid that was later discontinued.[29] Ripple Labs will retain the remaining 25 billion"

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Bitcoin might not be dead, but until they figure out a permanent solution to prevent exchanges from dropping like flies, I'd say Bitcoin is in a deep coma.

Corrected That is something I have been wondering with all the bitcoin ATMs that have been deployed around the world. How many of them are dependent on the bitcoin exchanges such as Bitstamp or BTC-e? If another occurrence of an exchange shutting down locks away the money and bitcoins ATM owners have on the exchange what do they do? |

Do you expect to see something of a panic dip based on this news, or has the market already priced this in? |

So lets see, the total amount of bitcoins just shrunk.
We had 12 million + 750k (gox)coins just a few moments back. so a total supply of 13 million BTC.
Now it's back to 12 million.

Do you expect to see something of a panic dip based on this news, or has the market already priced this in? It was not 100% certain earlier, so it could not have been fully priced in. The news might be providing just the little nudge that the chart needed to trigger the correction we've been waiting for. It's one of those circumstances where the 'market was waiting for an excuse' to do something. |

So what does this mean? How many coins do they owe to people and how many are left?
"...Mt. Gox had outstanding debt of about ¥6.5 billion ($63.6 million)"
The bigger question is? Is this good or bad news - regarding to the price?

I do not think Mtgox is going to remotely want to deal with returning customers bitcoins back anymore. If they are going to reach a settlement/claim process it is all going to be through yen/dollars.

There are a ton of investors waiting on the sidelines and all they want is some closure to this ongoing drama and for the bottom to be found and the worst priced in before they buy. So any end to the mtgox ordeal is bullish. There may be a short term downwards movement due to panic but ultimately upwards.

I think those who will stay on board through all this, will find kind of pride after years if we succeed( or feel very dumb in we crumble )

+1 Disagree whoever or whatever has those R750k coins are using or will use them. Unless they truly lost the private keys in some way. Even the coins still in MtGox if any will have to be used. |
