that's how the public is going to think. it's going to be even worse when (if) the gox customers are officially cheated out of their fiat or btc. the comment i read that hurt the most:
"krugman called this months ago"
for the sake and life of bitcoin, gox cannot go under. Whales need to step up now.
According to the latest "update" on gox, they sound like a takeover is happening there. We can only hope.
