I don't know what will happen to MtGox, but you sound just like the SheepMarketPlace defenders when they kept coming up with all kinds of ways to downplay all the events leading up to SMP's disappearing act. I don't know how you're so sure they won't fall into oblivion. They've been a big mess for months.

Anyone else reading this who's new to crypto-coins, at the _minimum_ I do not recommend you send any of your coins/fiat to MtGox at this time.

For anyone new to crypto-coins, "fiat" is a derogatory term for "cash money," not a small European car.

When there's some "gold rush" mentality involved, logic goes out of the window.
