Perhaps it's just the forums, but I feel like there's a lot of negative vibes coming from BTC right now.
I've following Bitcoin and mining for a while but never bothered with forums until recently. Is this common amongst forum-goers or is it really just Bitcoin in general?

well many thousands of users have lost bitcoin due to gox.. so their emotions are high. to add to that their coin was worth $1200 which if they sold to fiat would have been alot. but if gox was to suddenly admit they have the coins. peoples coins are worth half as much since the fiasco began.

then we can add other things to the pile.. and you will understand that some people emotions are being noticed more, and their professional writing patterns of last year, have changed.

i think wall street had similar emotional comments in 2007-2008.

This has been said already, but most of those who had money on gox were gamblers, gox had problems for months and people deposited there because of its high (fake) price. I remember people saying "Gox been around for years it's not gonna go that easy", even when the site was down for days.

Another thing is that the funds are not completely lost. They allegedly lost 2/3 of the assets and the remaining ones got blocked by court, those lawyers will suck Karpeles dry. Some even claim he faked the whole theft and holds most of the coins.

I'm still quite positive, bitcoin has great potential and we'll see $1000 again, just maybe not in the next few months. There was the same negativity after the crash in April 2013.
