Here we go again. I can see it now... That 'Bitcoin User Not Affected' meme will be making a comeback.

Mt.Gox goes bankrupt after theft. Bitcoin User Not Affected ... oh, wait.

If you don't have the private keys, you are not a bitcoin user.  You are a creditor to someone else and own no bitcoins, you just own IOUs.

Yeah, right. And if you dont have all your gold and cash hidden in your room you arent a "gold or fiat user". Yeah, thats gonna be safe .. oh, wait. Wouldnt really be a difference if there had been a piece of paper with a couple of numbers on it found as well.
