A lot of people who thought they were bitcoin "experts" lost all or most of their coins to MtGox.

MtGox is such a great and terrible example how even with some level of service there to help.....it can be even more dangerous.

And for all anyone know, they could have stolen it all from their own customers.

Do you honestly believe that's an apt analogy?

my point was that getting ripped off wouldn't preclude them from being 'experts'
