Really? Gox? Last month? That was like a year and a half ago, not last month, can't keep blaming stuff on Gox forever. Unfortunately, Mt. Gox was not the only scam... from my experience, the overwhelming majority of bitcoin-related businesses are scams, frauds, failures, etc. And, given that this is unlikely to change, it will continue to be a major problem with bitcoin.
The tide is turning slowly. Sometime during this year there'll be multiple exchanges that are run properly by legit people.
As for the business side of things, it's disheartening to see people still fall for the same old shit over and over again. I don't have much sympathy for those who pile in but hopefully some mass wisdom will develop.
