Thanks all. I did my best to be honest and objective, while working to explain to anyone who is serious about finance, that Gox was built from a card trading store. It's completely unrealistic for anyone to judge Bitcoin by the example of what literally amounts to a Dungeon Master. Google spell check trying to correct 'Karpales' to 'Sparkles' was just icing on the cake.
Your comments and views are very much appreciated.
Add - I left it out of the article, but I genuinely feel for those who did lose their ass with Gox. Nothing I wrote is intended to be at all disrespectful or inconsiderate of them or their loss. Rather, the article is intended to 'hopefully' open the eyes of the financial community to what really happened, and hopefully strengthen Bitcoin and further adoption.
Cheers,
H
