I'm not a fan of the "don't think too much about it" line.  That's the whole way I found BitCoin - I think too much!  Besides, we're consistently being nudged to "not think too much" about everything in life. 

Question, for example..Who owns mtGox or any other such exchanges?  I have no clue, and this information doesn't appear to be easily available.

Again, I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, I'm just trying to understand all of this.  Being told to not think about it isn't encouraging
