About 6 months ago (when Mt Gox had some other issues with people's money) I said:
> If you trusted a company that started out trading Magic: the Gathering cards with a significant amount of your money, you probably need the lesson you are going to learn from this.

And was mocked/dismissed. It's disheartening to me the blind spot that otherwise intelligent people have when it comes to BitCoin and BitCoin related businesses.
- orclev 13y agoI pulled my money out of MtGox about 6 months ago... unfortunately I'm still waiting for them to process the wire transfer I requested, and this makes me suspect I may never actually see that money.
- pessimizer 13y agoProbably because what they bought the domain for was utterly irrelevant to their competence or complete lack thereof. The enemy is stupid the overcredulous decision-making of ideologues and the incompetence of people who want to handle your money. Adding more dumb information just confuses the issue.
- weavejester 13y agoMost of the replies you link to were just pointing out your comment was incorrect, or that judging tech companies based on their name isn't a particularly good approach. I don't see anyone defending MtGox's competence or business practices.
