Bailouts, even in the form you're suggesting, are counter to what decentralized networks are all about.
Decentralized networks are superior because you don't have to bail out, or save any one entity.
If an arm or a leg dies and falls off, the organism grows new ones back, and continues thriving.
Bailouts are a mentality for the legacy centralized financial system where specific entities are needed so the whole system doesn't collapse.
Bitcoin was created for the explicit purpose of not needing such a process.
Bitcoin doesn't need to bail out MtGox. Its just a limb that can fall off. The organism will continue to thrive.
All this babble in the media about Bitcoins reputation being harmed for "years to come" is just that. Babbling nonsense.
