Horror stories ^^^

I learned as soon as I got into Bitcoin not to use Gox, but even I didn't expect total bankruptcy. I mean sure, the warning signs were there, but how does half a billion dollars disappear?! I half-expected most of you who poured money into Gox during the final days to make out like bandits.

I guess a 500% discount was too good to be true. Who'da thunk it?

Same here. I did some quick looking and it became very clear not to use them. Hence, I did not use them. Happy about it now.

I was very very tempted too, but knowing it was too risky decided against it at the last minute (litterly seconds before I pushed the enter button).  I know someone that put in $20K thinking he was going to come out with $100-200K and till thinks GOX will somehow magically return the coins.  Guess he's out of luck now.
