The long-awaited Mt Gox repayments that began late this week have brought colored opinions among crypto enthusiasts as they significantly impact BTC’s price. 
While the initial fears among Bitcoin investors of a massive sell-off continue to shrink, skepticism continues to fill the crypto market. 
Reminiscing, the <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/303624/mt-gox-creditors-may-have-to-wait-for-up-to-three-months-to-receive-their-bitcoin?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">crypto exchange </a>collapsed in 2014 leading to a massive loss of&nbsp; 150,000 BTC. Following the collapse, the rehabilitation process has been a <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/bitcoin-community-celebrates-mt-gox-updates-repayment-plans-reddit-euphoria-ensues/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">laborious</a><a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/bitcoin-community-celebrates-mt-gox-updates-repayment-plans-reddit-euphoria-ensues/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&nbsp;task</a>, filled with back-and-forth discussions. In the long run, the repayment process has kicked off but the timing varies.&nbsp; 
According to a recent trustee document, Mt. Gox creditors can expect their Bitcoin (BTC) or Bitcoin Cash (BCH) repayments within 14 to 90 days depending on the chosen crypto exchange. Kraken, for instance, will take up to 3 months to process payouts, whereas Bitbank and SBI VC Trade will complete them within 2 weeks. 
This massive payout to Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash payout schedule aims to mitigate a massive price dump, a fear that has kicked in among crypto investors of a major sell-off. However, the total amount being distributed, estimated to be around 2.71 billion USD worth of BTC,&nbsp; is significant enough to cause market jitters. 
At the time of writing, BTC is <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/marketcap/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">changing hands </a>at $56,874.25 marking a 7.72% price drop in the last week. In the wake of Mt Gox news, Bitcoin saw a modest price downs surge with Bitcoin’s price slightly hovering below the $54,000 level. This sent investors liquidating their assets exceeding $665 million across exchanges. This event mirrored the volatility experienced during the FTX collapse.

However, the price has since rebounded above the key $56,000 support level. This means that the initial fear among investors has slowly faded. Additionally the fear and greed index, a key sentiment indicator, also reflected this anxiety, dropping from a neutral 44 to a fearful 29 within 24 hours. 
Despite the immediate turbulence, some analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term price movement. As <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/bitcoin-holders-could-gain-from-potential-us-dollar-collapse-says-chief-strategist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earlier reported </a>on Crypto News Flash, Chris Wood, Chief Strategist at Jefferies Investment Bank, highlighted the potential benefits for Bitcoin amid the weakening of the US dollar. 
Wood took the stage and advised investors to view Bitcoin as a long-term hedge against the devaluation of traditional currencies, rather than a short-term speculative asset. This perspective aligns with the broader narrative of Bitcoin’s increasing adoption as a mainstream investment vehicle. 
<blockquote>
 The allocation to Bitcoin was introduced because it represents a legitimate alternative for risk-averse capital looking for a store of value, amidst the accumulating evidence over the past two decades and more of policies of currency debasement in the G7 world, Wood noted.
</blockquote> 
In summary, the Mt Gox repayment plan has injected uncertainty into the crypto market. While the initial sell-off fears seem to be shearing off, the staggered payout schedule and ongoing volatility suggest continued risk for investors.
