Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

If sticking with mtgox makes me a sucker, than I'm a sucker.  I'd rather trust someone who has dealt with a compromise than someone who is just hoping their security is good enough.  They cockiness of newer users is starting to get very annoying.  They all know how stupid everyone else is, and they ignore reason.  I'm not targeting anyone in particular in this thread with these comments, but I'll be surprised if nobody jumps in to start the name calling.  Obviously, not all new users are part of the problem, but these forums have become much less enjoyable over the past few months.  Let's spend less time insulting each other and try to have a constructive discussion.  Like I said, shit happens and I'd rather put my money with those who know how to use a shovel.

As we slide down the banister of life, this is just another splinter in our ass.

That is most likely true.

But shortly after Mt. Gox opened the gates some 2.42 million BTC moved from somewhere to somewhere else.

http://blockexplorer.com/block/0000000000000464742a8d6147c4ef3a0d41658f643d624555a1cfa9c80aa0f3

Much less than 2.42 million.  That's the change from MtGox's 48,480.94 BTC being counted multiple times as it moves from address to address.  At the end of the block 46,391.666 BTC remains, so its closer to 2,000 BTC (plus) that actually changed hands in that block.

It's hard to have a constructive discussion when so many people here just blindly believe bitcoins will keep going up and up and away!!

And yet money is based on the belief of its value.....

Oh the irony.

I never made that claim.  I have some modest savings, but I'm prepared to lose it all.  I prefer to use bitcoins for transactions.  I do see a lot of upside potential, but I'm not blind to the inevitable downswings.  I do see your point though.  But after a few more months all the new users will either be burnt or just a bit more rational.  Unfortunately, most of the old hats have retreated from this forum because it has become such a repetitive shitstorm.

Just for the record, I don't think bitcoin is going to zero. There's some figuring out that's got to go on over the next days and weeks about exactly how risky bitcoin is. There's money to be made here.
