Whatever happens in the short-term dealing with this mess, I'm happy this phase is concluding. Gox was a holdover from early bitcoin, where clearly incompetent people/operations handled massive amounts of customer funds, and we've been needing to get sharply over that phase for a while now. This does so rather dramatically. I look forward to bitcoin moving into the next phase of adoption driven by far more professional entities.
Seconded. This moment is one of the last great buying opportunities, the ecosystem has finally cast off a giant anchor that was weighing it down. Short term pain, for long term gain.
