I wasn't suggesting that Stellar would've made MtGox unwind any differently. I was pointing out that transmitting money doesn't require you to trust anyone but the place that's storing your money. The $10 still gets sent (with a very low price per MtGox!BTC). This nitpick about trust isn't why you should care about Stellar. Stellar makes your bank deposits transferable around the globe instantly with low fees. It makes your plain old dollars function as cryptocurrency.
