Wide ranging article with links and quotes (albeit poached ones) all over the place. For once the article is not too editorialized.

Now that things have settled and the chatter has faded, the next step will be to watch whether bitcoin graduates from a cyberworld fad to a legitimate currency.

Edit: fixed link.

Oh... You mean the meat-bag security issues? All of the 'hacks' and 'compromises' I've seen have been as a result of the biggest and hardest security hole to plug... The meat-bag one.. (aka people)

In the worst-case scenario for bitcoin, that type of malfeasance would bring in regulators who then would enact the toughest measure of all: shutting down the whole operation.

Despite how much research these people do, they still always get one thing wrong - bitcoin can't be regulated.  And maybe that isn't a bad thing for now.  The longer before exchanges are shutdown, the shorter time until bitcoin can succeed.
