“Many Bitcoin backers insisted there was a silver lining to the collapse. Bad firms like Mt. Gox would be weeded out and replaced by trustworthy ones that would make bitcoin more credible and secure, they argued.”
That sounds like the typical Libertarian/Austrian crowd. The same people who were crowing a few weeks ago about what a success Bitcoin was.
That has gotta bewilder the hand wringers - how is this kind of support possible?
Yes, and we want freedom, Bitcoin and lederhosen for everybody!
Bitcoin is going to the Moon man! :)
