this is the worst thing to happen to bitcoin this year

this is the best thing that could happen to bitcoin this year. mtgox and mark karpeles have caused more damage to bitcoin - both in term of reputation and price than any other company, person, or event in the history of bitcoins. This is the final chapter to close the book on this criminal and shady outfit, it is a cancer that must be removed for bitcoin to continue its healthy progress forward.

Short term pain from all the panic mainstream investors who have no idea what's going on, long term this is not material.

The network is fine, every other exchange is fine, remain calm and it will be alright.
