MtGox was reputable enough by Bitcoin standards although it certainly wasn't legal in the US.

If memory serves me correctly Mt. Gox didn't have the greatest UI. If you weren't a techie you would need the guidance of one.

I do remember it was quite a big deal when the first bitcoin machine arrived in Lansing. Eventually several arrived and left but the original one is still at the Fledge, at least before COVID arrived.
