Live MtGox Protest:

Confirming legit link

some japanese people know about bitcoin. the bitcoin community here is mostly western, however (read white). also people that live here, who know how japan works, read the half-baked conspiracy theories on this thread, and recognizing them for what they are, dont feed the trolls, and just quietly wait, holding onto their goxcoins.

i have btc in gox. ive gone in more since the drop. why? because i recognize the difference between risk and perception of risk. people are stupid. they think this thread has valuable information. unfortunately, sturle was right, this thread has gone increasingly downhill as it has gained popularity. more unformation is all thats left.

the only thing im really concerned about is the idea that the yakuza pulled off some kind of extortion or heist. one look at mark... nope. incompetent yes, malicious, no. but the incompetence (and lack of security at the medio bldg) may be the security problem they referred to in their update.

if his security concern was some white people standing in front of his building, then im REALLY NOT worried. he's just a poof then, and we are merely waiting for him to take his time and hen-peck some coding lines into the goxmachine.

oh and, to answer your last question, japanese people generally dont have much english ability. they stick to 2chan, you can threads on bitcoin (in japanese) there. the japanese-speaking thread on this website is basically dead (just a few of us weeaboos stop and blurb something in hiragana) id wager a guess though that of all the residents of japan who have accts at gox, the majority of them are expats. bitcoin is still very much an english-speaking phenomenon.

So oviously no panicked japanese selling GoxBTC ?

Let me hear the voices of reason to shut down the background noise :

Who´s BTC´s have been sold and are sold in ever increasing quanteties at MT. Gox at a discount of 90 % ?

No dreaming up of hoghwash can lead to another fact then:

Mt. Gox has been bankrupted intentionally and the shell is being left to the laywers !
