SHIIIIT...
20K users a day? Well... I knew bitcoin was becoming more popular to the masses, didn't realize quite how popular..
Also, I enjoyed the crash..
Sadly I missed out on sales around 105$ XD

Sadly I missed out on sales around 105$ XD Excuse me? Gox has been behind the curve the whole time, their whole platform sucks balls and they do fuck all about it. Hopefully this latest farce is the beginning of the end for them.
Everyone is free to stop using it and move somewhere else. There are enough alternatives by now. I also think diversification away from mtgox is good in the long run. But all this complaining is really pointless. 
That said, I admire how quickly sites such as Mtgox and Bitstamp manage to scale out.

yep scaling up is not always so easy as some here pretend ...100k user last year, 20K new user per day now. This is scalling up
That being said, much more poeple as may bitcoin mean?
That's the most pathetic post-mortem I have ever seen.
After blowing a major set back to the whole Bitcoin ecosystem, they don't apologize, and even find the way to self congratulate...
As long as nothing disastrous happens, these kinds of things are only good. It reminds people that bitcoin is risky as investment, and reminds exchanges that they are an achilles heel, there is still a lot of either scaling or decentralization work to be done before the masses can start using it.
