BTC was priced at ~$825 on 2/1/2014 when Mt Gox disabled transactions, and is around $6,150 now. Provided they're able to pay out ~13% of each claim, claimants will at least be able to "break even" on the freeze (ignoring, of course, BTC's astronomical gains in the last 4 years).

You forget that on Mt Gox, the price dropped to something like $125 before they shut off trading... I know because I bought some at that price just before they went dark

Same here. Everyone was fleeing from BTC like rats from a ship. Luckily I managed to sell everything I had when it was close to $1000 and buy all the BTC I could when the price dropped to two hundred something.
