The much-anticipated compensation work for Mt. Gox Mentougou has begun. Some creditors have received compensation one after another. The handling of this "windfall" has become a topic of concern to the outside world.
More than half of creditors have been compensated, and there are still over 140,000 Bitcoins to be distributed
“After more than ten years, I wasn’t sure if this would actually happen, but we finally did it! It’s been a long journey Journey, and I’m happy to see that we are finally getting closer to our goal, with only a little more to go..." Mark Karpelès, former CEO of Mt. Gox, wrote in a post earlier this month.
After entering July, Mt. Gox has begun to repay creditors in the form of BTC and BCH. However, according to the custodian documents, the payment time of different crypto exchanges is different. Kraken’s payment time may take 90 days, Bitstamp may take 60 days, BitGo will show payment within 20 days, and SBI VC Trade and Bitbank will show payment within 20 days. Payments are made within 14 days, so Mt. Gox creditors may have to wait up to three months to receive BTC or BCH. According to a voting survey launched on Reddit, among these custody exchanges, Kraken is the main choice of creditors, receiving 64.7% of the participants’ votes.
Currently, some custodians have received compensation funds from creditors. For example, after Japanese crypto exchange Bitbank received the Bitcoin compensation, it transferred the Bitcoins paid by Mt. Gox to creditors within hours without waiting for 14 days; Kraken also recently issued a notice stating that the platform had successfully received Creditor funds (BTC and BCH) from the Mt. Gox custodian. While Kraken will distribute these funds as quickly as possible, it is expected to take 7-14 days for the funds to be credited to creditors. The amount creditors will receive is determined by the custodian, and Kraken will distribute according to its instructions.
According to a recent notice issued by Mt. Gox trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi, as of July 16, the trustee has repaid BTC and BCH to more than 13,000 creditors, which is more than half of the approximately 24,000 creditors previously disclosed. CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn also recently published a document revealing that 36% of Mt. Gox’s Bitcoins have been distributed to creditors. As of July 17, the custodian still holds 140,000 BTC, which will be gradually distributed in the future.
For other creditors who have not received compensation, Nobuaki Kobayashi also recently reminded that these creditors need to confirm the validity of the account, the exchange’s intention to accept the agreement, complete discussions between the custodian and the exchange, and confirm that repayment can be carried out safely.

However, multiple Mt. Gox creditors have reported a large number of unauthorized login attempts to their accounts recently, which they revealed on the Mt. Gox website in the Mt. Gox creditors subreddit "r/mtgoxinsolvency" on the Reddit platform Problems encountered when logging in, the screenshot shows that there were a large number of unauthorized login attempts on his account. Some users worry that this may be a "violent" attack on Mt. Gox's creditors, but others believe that it may just be a website glitch. After the relevant incident, the Mt.

Under the high yield of passive lock-up, creditors discuss why to dispose of assets
With the opening of Mt. Gox’s compensation plan of up to 9 billion US dollars, the market is also worried about the inflow of huge amounts of Bitcoin. However, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju wrote that unlike the German government sale, Mt. Gox’s creditors were not forced to sell, so this is not pure seller liquidity. This distribution will not end the bullish trend as these Bitcoins are expected to react to market sentiment just like existing supply. Judging from the recent rebound trend of Bitcoin, the Mt. Gox compensation incident did not have too much impact on the bullish trend of Bitcoin.
According to the "Cash Payment or Crypto Payment" poll initiated by Reddit, 69.3% of the participants chose cryptocurrency payment. Since the price of Bitcoin has increased significantly compared with the time when Mt. Gox went bankrupt, the creditors' profits from passive lock-up can be said to be very considerable. How to deal with this compensation is a topic of great concern to the outside world.
"Will you tell your wife when you receive Bitcoin?" someone joked on the Reddit forum. Judging from the responses from many creditors, some are still holding on, some are worried about tax issues, and some have chosen to cash out to improve their lives.
In the poll initiated by a user on "What proportion of Bitcoin do you plan to sell after payment?", 52.1% of the participants chose to sell 0%-10%, 10.8% chose to sell 90%-100%, and the remaining choices were 20% to 90% sold.
"The Mt. Gox bankruptcy case gave me some valuable experiences. One is not to sell Bitcoin easily, and the other is to be careful about the crypto assets stored on the exchange." This part of the creditors hopes to get greater returns, and some people also Let’s be clear that Bitcoin is a currency and not an investment. This was also reflected in a certain poll, with more than half of the users choosing to continue holding Bitcoin.
当然，不少债权人选择“落袋为安”，来购置房子和车子等物品，“随着付款越来越近，我越来越紧张，希望可以尽快买下海边的房子去那里度假。”、“已经开始关注特斯拉和等待几年的房子” .......且有不少债权人纠结出售时机，“特朗普支持加密货币，等他当选美国总统后再出售是不是会更好？”
对于出售资产且需要缴纳加密税的债权人来说，如何缴税是个棘手的问题，且也是笔不小的支出，这也是在Reddit上出现频率较高的问题。譬如，“我是德国居民，因此无需为持有一年以上的加密资产缴纳资本利得税，但我可能在不久后搬到一个需要交税的国家，我应该现在卖出我的加密资产还是继续持有？”、“我能否在欧盟出售比特币，时隔这么久我已经没有证据记录我得到这些比特币的时间。”
除此之前，还有债权人因尚未收到赔款焦急留言，“哪些交易所已经收到资金，还有哪些交易所有剩下资金？是否有名单可以公布下？”
“当比特币价格达到25万美元、50万美元、100万美元时，会有人懊悔卖早了吗？”还有人留言问道，届时又会有多少卖飞故事？
以上是部分债权人陆续收到赔款，这笔'意外之财”会如何处理？超一半人选择了…的详细内容。更多信息请关注PHP中文网其他相关文章！
