Simple solution assuming OP is right.  Switch to CAD instead.

as we all know mt gox is just one of many exchanges of bitcoins and no more...

yet this widespread anger with mt gox exposes that bitcoins is just a hanger-on to u.s. dollars, and cannot survive on its own.

Or maybe just that people's bitcoins are tied up in it, meaning they can't spend them? That aspect has nothing to do with USD.
