What does everyone here think about dropping the term, "Goxxed," and start using the term, "fractionalized" or even "banked"?
After all, fractionalizing has been around long before bitcoin and MtGox.

Because Mt Gox was not named Mt Fractionalize or Mt Bank.

Gox was/is a huge part of the early years. Goxed is probably the more common spelling. The word isn't terrible........the damage was.

It is a unique process, so ripe for an uniquely new word. Besides, you are of course right about banks. Nothing to add there.

I disagree, "goxxed" is a pretty awesome word. It has the right amount of glottal "pungency" that allows it to carry the implied negative connotation that is embedded in the word.
[On a side note, I chuckle a little each time I hear it because I've been hearing that word for a while (with a completely different meaning) in the semiconductor industry.]

Goxed = scamming nerds in a technologically sophisticated way. Etymology: 2010s from Mt.Gox, a former Magic The Gathering cards exchange turned into the world's biggest bitcoin exchange and subsequently pulling off the biggest online heist in the history of the internet.

I think Goxxed is proper term. Everyone in community knows what it means.

I think Mt.Gox's name being used to describe "being screwed due to incompetence or fraud" is a fitting end to this sad joke of an exchange.

Goxxed is a perfect word to describe what happened. Using well known nouns as verbs is a common phenomenon. Google it.

saying "you been scammed" is not very descriptive. but saying "you been goxxed" is excellent. because just those 3 words gives people knowledge that 1) a person was scammed out of funds 2) the scam happened in december 2013 3) the scam involved the exchange MT.Gox 4) the perpetrator was mark karpales 5) the perp' got away with atleast 740k btc and soo on. so i love the term as 3 words can open up so much information, where words such as: "fractionalized" or even "banked" do not even do the event justice

I DO NOT TRADE OR ACT AS ESCROW ON THIS FORUM EVER. Please do your own research & respect what is written here as both opinion & information gleaned from experience. many people replying with insults but no on-topic content substance, automatically are 'facepalmed' and yawned at

It will go down in history and as a reminder how amateurish bitcoin was in the early days.
