I probably am one of the thousands or even millions who applied to Mt.Gox and took forever for them to verify the account for any exchanges. I had submitted back in later Nov and got approved sometime in the middle of Dec but that notification didn’t come through until mid Jan. Meanwhile, I made BTC-e for exchange. Now, I say that I am glad that I didn’t deal with Mt.Gox.
Why Mt. Gox, the World’s First Bitcoin Exchange, is Dying
As the article, I still have strong belief that these cryptocoins still have bright future. Fall of Mt.Gox is significant yet it’s nothing much different from a hick-up from far point of view. As BTC-e being the 2nd leader of the market, there will be improvements with better security and safer transactions.
I will have doubt that neither BTC nor LTC will be replacing the current currencies. However, for the short comings, these coins are still in bright side for being the first world wide digital currencies.
