Some cruel part of me is taking great amusement in the frothy-mouthed furor that has filled the Mt. Gox frontpage.  Eloquent, passionate arguments about how things should have been, must be, how they're done in the real world, and how Mt. Gox will lose all their business over this, all by a tiny group of people who were (un?)fortunate enough to trade for huge numbers of bitcoins at 0.01. 

They thought they had it made, and no matter what words they use, their argument is all simply one statement:  I wanted to be rich.  Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it's hard to respect such round-about weaselwording.  I haven't seen a single person there say "Damn!  I thought I struck it big.  Shit.", which is an attitude I would respect.

You know what they say - easy come, easy go.  That phrase was made for situations like this.
