Clearly nothing to do with the state of Texas, but I felt there was a tension that reflects the limbo state Bitcoin is in as everyone watches to see what the fuck the story is with Gox. More plot twists and cliff hangers than a Mexican soap opera, without ever getting close to a conclusion.

Gox has only posed questions for Bitcoin, about regulation, trust, security, liability, criminality, the BF, insider trading, Bitcoin's public reputation, adoption, government confiscations, law suits, coin traceability, anonymity, laundering... the list goes on and on, and on. But so far there hasn't been a single answer.

(apart from Andreas vaguely confirming that Coinbase is probably solvent, ish, but he's not liable if they aren't.)
