Wanted to take a moment and remind everyone that btc-e is an honest exchange. There is just too much speculation on the topic because obviusly US based exchanges can't compete with an ofshore one (in your face land of the free) but in fact btc-e has been serving it's customers right since day 1. It playied a really important role in the rise of litecoin and altcoins in general. Btc-e is the perfect example of what every exchange should be like.


Btc-e destroying 110K premined NovaCoins transfered in their exchange over a year ago:

Well at least there is someone to blame and put in court. If BTC-e goes blank who to blame? No one but the users!!

mark has not been charged with a crime. his personal assets have not been seized. he stole half a billion and got away with it.

That doesn't however mean that it's safer to operate with anonymous individuals.

Everyone is honest right up to the point they rip you off.  So it's better to evaluate the risk based on what options are available to you in the event that they do rip you off.... anonymous individuals in maybe Russia = almost no options.

Plus like others have said they also do not make any of their holdings audit-able.

Same here. I was also posting here that BTC-E was more reliable than Gox, but some people even made threats against me for saying so. Their argument was that since the Gox owner was not anonymous, he should be a reliable person.  Grin

LOL and gox did tons of KYC and AML, so they must be honest right? KYC is the opposite of KYP (know your provider). It only serves to fuck the customer not protect them. Third party audits are there to protect the customer; hopefully btce does it soon.

Truth is the new hatespeech.

they only did that cuz the DEA had them by the balls cuz of their laundering drug money (silk road).

so glad the btc foundation is trying to save gox, lol.

 So your advocating to keep rewarding failure after failure? You cannot possibly mean that. Not in your right mind!


 Capitalism NEVER rewards failure. Not real capitalism. Not before 2008. But of course that is not what has been occurring since 2008.


 So let's just print up 40+ TRILLION Dollars worth of new Monies world wide and see how that works! Wait, they just did that from shore to shore all over the world and that only dug us all deeper into debt.



 Real Capitalism NEVER rewards failure.
=========================


 Until 2008 we used to toss the crooks in prison, even 10,000 Bankers in the 1980's went to PRISON. Put their banks/savings & loans into receivership, fix their messes, and sell off the assets or sell the business to strong concerns. But apparently today we can just reward failure?
NOT.

 
 We NEVER Rewarded Failure until September 2008
================================



 But The FED has been Rewarding Failure Ever Since
=================================



 As are Every Central Bank Rewarding Failure
============================



 NO ONE will bailout Bitcoin should it fail.
=========================


 NO ONE bails out little banks, Businesses or People should any of them fail.
===============================================



Bottom Line:

 NO ONE and NO BANK is Too Big To Fail.
==========================

they lied.

 But then their are more fools today than ever before and they just do what their told and are obedient worker slaves. Debt slaves.

 With Real Capitalism there is always Risk. With Real Freedom there is always Risk. Without risk nothing is real, nor worthy.

 Reward Failure Huh You must be joking!!!


 Besides Gox is gone, and no scam ridden ploy for 1 btc is going to be able to re-purchase it.

 The only value left is the mailing list.

 Mt. Gox itself has negative value.

 Especially one ridden with a ton of debt rebooted, no one besides re-inflated fools is going to take it seriously unless it has a clean balance sheet.

 That whole scheme to re-start it is a pipe-dream fantasy born by a fool's fool or worse.

 I do understand why those that lost at Mt. Gox want this to occur. It wont occur. And even if it does it wont succeed without massive amounts of capital to repair the Balance Sheet. Of course any prudent, success businessful person knows that, as do CPA's, Accountants, and many others. And only a Fools Fool would toss that amount of monies into Mt. Gox at any stage going forward until it was fully repaired and extremely healthy and viable, not to mention extremely well managed.


 I suppose next we're suppose to bailout Bitcoin should it fail.
What nonsense.


 Please, I do understand, but start thinking clearly. This is exactly why Bitcoin was born. For these very reason.



 Reward Failure? NOT Acceptable except in Centrally Controlled Empires, Dynasties and Fiefdoms.

 But then some are too young to know Real Capitalism.


 Here is lesson #1.
=================

 Real Freedom is NOT Free.

 Real Freedom has Risks.

 Failure is not rewarded.

 But hard work is rewarded.

 So is genius and talent.



 Bitcoin is Genius.

None of the exchanges are honest, just some are more cooked than others. Btc-e has been the best exchange so far, but you never know if and when it'll go down. Best thing to do is use paper wallets with in-person trades.
