If you’re looking for an opportunity that might 2x your investment over a decade, I imagine the good old stock market would be better than gambling your funds on a dying exchange. But what do I know.

I put in $11k at $1,100/coin. I’ll be lucky to walk with 1 BTC after more than a decade. So, not really. And I’ll believe that when the coin is in my wallet. Till then, it’s a mental write-off.




>>I’ll be lucky to walk with 1 BTC after more than a decade.

The payout is clearly stipulated on the MtGox website, assuming you've done the work of registering as a creditor. The minimum you'll be walking away with is roughly ~1.5BTC.


> And I’ll believe that when the coin is in my wallet

In your wallet? 10years of your money trapped and you'd voluntarily choose to leave it dangling it in front of theives as soon as you get it back?
