2014 is crucial for bitcoin. It has gotten off to a pretty terrible start (Shrem, Gox, now other exchanges). Trust is a very hard thing to gain back.
I have far more trust in the bitcoin ecosystem now knowing that Gox and Shrem—both of whom have caused me not insignificant losses due to their incompetence—are out of the game.
Good riddance.
Good story, and I it's good to see the someone is attacking bitcoin in away that it requires the exchanges to be more responsible for everything that comes into and goes out of their website.
Agree. Sometimes bad news isn't truly bad. Sometimes it presents an opportunity to grow stronger. It all depends on what happens next. I think of the SR and Shrem events, if SR bust was good news, then Shrem's bust is also good news. MtGox is overall good news. These are events with opportunities to increase trust and fairness. Growing pains.
