Discuss Mt. Gox

Mt. Gox handled most of the world's bitcoin trading, then filed for bankruptcy on 28 February 2014 with hundreds of thousands of coins missing. The group met five days later to work through what it meant.

The questions on the table were whether the collapse would help or harm the ecosystem in the long run, whether investors would rescue the brand, and where the discussion on transaction malleability was heading, the bug Mt. Gox blamed for its losses.

This is the kind of evening the archive is full of: not a scheduled talk, but a community meeting to make sense of something while it was still unfolding.

Some frequently asked questions for you.

Blockchain Brussels is Belgium’s first and biggest community of blockchain and crypto believers. It is also one of the oldest European meetup around Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based applications. Created in 2013, we organise events, conferences, gatherings and workshops for crypto users and blockchain experts on a regular basis.
We are building a blockchain community from the ground up in Belgium. We’re providing an inclusive forum for software developers of all levels, Crypto Enthusiasts and general public interested in Bitcoin to improve their understanding of distributed ledger technology and its social impact.
The aim is to bring together people that are interested in cryptocurrencies in the widest possible sense; to promote discussions among people from different fields of expertise, having different backgrounds and therefore different perspectives. The goal is to find common interests to be explored further, practically creating any kind of experimentation, vulgarization, or business opportunities. We target any kind of audience, whether you have strong expertise to share, you are totally new and curious, or even just want to pass by to have a beer and say hello!
Yes. We’re looking for sponsors to join us in growing our blockchain community and build long term partnerships. You can find all the details in the sponsorship document
