....
I've appreciated reading your thoughts over the past few months and I do hope you stay around. It is helpful to learn the viewpoints of people that haven't been won-over by bitcoin.
Just one question:
You must admit that nobody can foresee the future with perfect clarity. In 2018, bitcoin could be a dominant world currency, it could be an academic curiosity of a past failed experiment, or it could be something in between. My question is how do you expect you'd feel if bitcoin
is successful beyond all of our wildest hopes? Will you look back, shrug, and say "oh well"? Or will you be disappointed that some mental obstinance prevented you from hedging with 2 BTC just in case?
Quoted because I would also like to know your answer

Gox is so bad that for some reason they think I'm Romanian or something like that so "cancel" order link is now named "annuluy"
Same on my account. And I think it's in Polish. Perhaps related to their polish bank account ?

Gox will turn into the greatest exchange ever. The Phoenix like rebirth will reinforce the public perceptions about the resilience of the bitcoin.
Because it will turn into the closest thing to a truly decentralized exchange, controled by the public. And of course will probably be more trusted than all the exchanges

To all the users with large holdings in mtgox :
We have the chance to be joint owners in the best built exchange in the world. A trustless exchange (like the bitcoin protocol) led by 1 million users. Completely transparent.
We will give a great example to the world. People will truly see then that bitcoin related things don't fail so easily. And all the news/media proclaiming the death of bitcoin because of GOX, will look like idiots.

It's quite possible. Bitcoin users should be demanding transparent (at least on the Bitcoin side) exchanges! We have the technology.
I think many people will again refuse to learn from this Gox situation. I'm sure that it will happen again in the future.
With a little luck, we might just make that with gox ( a better, transparent, trustless exchange)

You guys can snark all you want, but we need functional, scalable online exchanges. Otherwise, there is no comparable market for BTC, and certainly no comparable valuation per coin.
Or we can have a public led, centralized but completely transparent exchange. Kinda like a Linux project or something. (meaning Linux also don't belong to a single company and it's not closed)

I agree completely! It's up to the customers to demand this kind of transparency from their exchanges. They need to vote with their wallet!
I'm guessing if an exchange like this would appear, people would really flock to it. Even if the name would be GOX (gox 2.0), or maybe especially if it will be gox.. because it will be proof that despite all the problems, it manage to survive after all these years.
A completely transparent exchange like this could get soon the biggest.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1yyrvf/open_letter_to_mark_karpeles_voluntary/I don't understand why so many downvotes. It's like there are a lot of people who just want gox to disappear. Everyone who lost money should just "move on". So what if you lost 100000 dollars ? So what if there's a plan to save all the money AND improve the bitcoin world in the process ?

Karpeles and the other insiders have to be prosecuted! I'm strictly against any solution providing those fraudsters an easy exit.
Of course they will be prosecuted. BUt now is the chance for the first time to build a truly transparent and crowd sourced exchange. 1 million people have the interest in doing so.

A liquidation would return to the clients some amount X that they can invest any way they like, including in MtGOX 2.0 if they want to. The Sunlot plan would return them less than X and force them to invest the remainder in MtGOX 2.0, with no option to get out. I still don't see how this can be better than that.
I'm guessing with the Sunlot plan, the clients have a small chance to get back their entire account. At least in a long time. And that is probably better than getting back only 20% or less (zero according to some here)

I would support the idea of a rehab of mt gox, not only so I could get some money invested back (I don't trust I would get much otherwise) but to support the chance of a new type of btc exchange creation. That is, if this new Gox 2.0 is indeed a new type of btc exchange, a transparent and very trustable exchange led by experts and no noname un-knowledgeable administrators.

if gox came back, it would likely be the best exchange out there. It would have a point to prove.
This is what everyone is hoping.

I answered this some 6,223,678,221 pages ago on this thread. "Success" will be when bitcoin (or crypto) gets used by a large number of people because it is cheaper/faster/safer/easier/whatever than the alternatives. Not because one has a BTC stash to burn, not to support the cause, not to evade taxes or make illegal payments, not because it is hip, not to speculate with, not out of curiosity, etc.
That's a pretty reasonable point of view. It's just that with this approach one could never profit from early investments in startups and unverified ideas.

That would for example be breaking the daily SMA200 conclusively, and almost certainly breaking the previous 680 top.
Hello,
Is this link ok for tracking SMA200 ? And what do you mean breaking ? Crossing above the current price ? Or what ?

So the answer is: don't trade based on that alone. If you're interested, find some online resource (or probably better: a book) on TA, and you'll probably find moving averages as lines of resistance/support in general, and the the SMA200 in particular covered. But there is no single "magic" indicator signal you can slavically follow. If there would be such an obvious one, it would be broken through use and become unprofitable in no time.
Thanks. I use multiple signals and macd.

Sorry for the insults addressed to you. I mean I never saw you insult anyone, so I don't think it's appropriate to be insulted but probably some persons here can't debate intelligently so they have to resort to what they know best.
