    Meh..Gox should die after the latest fiasco..hopefully. Good luck supplanting 100's of millions of Venture Capital dollars that are going into the infrastructure. Wall st money comes next and then other crypto's simply become toys to play with...in the short term at least.

I'm not trying to start an argument here but I've spent enough time in the M.E to know that it's far from a level playing field.
