Sunset of the largest Bitcoin exchange
I will be short. I do not bring proofs due to lack of time, but if you dig it well, you can find them.
A few months ago, MtGox started unreasonable delays in withdrawing USD by bank payments (weeks). MtGox pounced on the service bank, although for me personally now it is doubtful.
About half a year ago, BitInstant (a project that helped transfer money between exchanges) refused to break off relations with MtGox. Perhaps this was the cause of death BitInstant.
A week or two ago, users began to complain that they could not withdraw BTC from the exchange.
')
Blockchain.info without special explanations switched to BitStamp as a source of courses.
Most recently, MtGox’s share of the BTC exchange market has fallen below 50%. This has never happened before.
Yesterday I was unable to withdraw some of my coins. The system gave the error: "Invalid bitcoin address, please confirm your input". As I understand they have emptied the “hot” wallet. This happened not only for me.
Well, for dessert - the difference between the rates on mtgox and other exchanges reaches 20%. You can make a profit if you withdraw USD and buy coins on another exchange. Who will risk?
I wish all the benefits of this exchange, she had many ways to keep afloat. But, unfortunately, this is not happening.
I hope this article will help someone save coins.
