Well since MtGox is not under investigation for fraud by Japanese authorities i took my money out before they “get hacked” and lose it all like the others do.

Now that the world is more aware of bitcoins, Mt gox, like many other so called “exchanges” has a fundamental flaw for trading in that it was not designed to cope with large volumes. The bitcoin “order book” is minuscule and large moves are typically common when volumes on any one side exceed volumes opposing causing the price volatility. As is the case for many similar commodities or financial instruments with light volumes on the bid/offer sides volatility is common and orders often unfilled as price “gaps” occur. This is not to say a bitcoin exchange cannot act in a proper market like manner but it will take a more specialised approach to fulfil the buying/selling needs as the bitcoin market develops – be it open outcry or a more advanced computerised system as the traditional exchanges have to offer. The current exchange offerings were only designed for “bit-players” and hobbyists. Adapting to the real world of trading is inevitable but it will take a more formalised approach to effect this change. In the meantime, expect large price volatility, poor trade fills and poor management of “outages” and an “exchange” that by design can only work in its own best interest. After all, who wants to be caught the other side of a speeding train or a falling knife ?

Buttcoin enthusiasts state that “wild speculation” will be good for BTC because it will “stabilize” the market.

It’s always fun to watch dinosaurs struggle as they sink deeper and deeper into the tarpits.

Bitcoin deniers are like flat-earthers.
