Naive question here.
Over the last few days, I've noticed on bitcoinicity that the number of bids/asks on Mt.Gox has become really small, as some other folks on this thread have pointed out.
I don't really know what that means, though. I mean, I guess it means that that's the total number of bitcoins currently for sale/to be purchased. But I've never seen such a small number of available/wanted bitcoins.
Does it mean that we are likely to run out of bitcoins to buy/sell on Mt. Gox?
And right now there are no bids below $138. Does that mean that unless more bids appear, the price can't drop below $138?
Thanks.
So people are still not able to withdraw from mtgox or is just it takes too long time to withdraw from them? Which one is it?
now you need to be registered to withdraw BTC.
( there appears to be no official word about this )
Is there proof of this, or is this just rumour mill nonesense, FUD?
Well, it's true in my case. Here's the relevant excerpt from the reply I got from Mt. Gox's support desk, in response to whether I need to be verified to withdraw bitcoins from my account:
Your account must be verified to perform any withdrawal transactions.
If you would like to continue with the verification process, please provide us the notarised copy sealed with an apostille for the following documents (Please do not forget to provide your account number or username).
Well, I was only trying to withdraw 10 bitcoins.
Apparently.
