> Yeah, they probably should have known better than to use a wallet service on a cobbled-together site like that, but you sound like you're suggesting that's sufficient reason for them to be out their money.
This was an expected outcome given what information was public about Mt. Gox, but I'm not suggesting that the users deserve to be out of their money.
The only thing I like about what happened is that nobody is going to bail out Mt. Gox's owners. And this incident should hopefully make people more cautious about where they store their money.
> Maybe you're comfortable living in that world. I don't think that's remotely grounds on which to suggest that everyone else should be comfortable with the same level of risk.
I'm also not suggesting that everybody else should be comfortable with any particular level of risk. The great thing about Bitcoin is that it's voluntary. Nobody is forcing another human to use it - you only do so if you feel it's the best avenue for you.
