Experienced Bitcoin Investor Unrattled By Problems With Mt. Gox
"Hank" says the problem at Mt. Gox was a case of exchange mismanagement with unwarranted withdrawals, not an issue with Bitcoin itself.
"Over times, things like Mt. Gox will happen," he says. "Hank" thinks those who stay with Bitcoin will be the strong ones.
"Hank" says he's not worried about Bitcoin prices going down, even though some traditional banking experts are very nervous.
"Hank" understands that.
"Bitcoin replaces many of the roles that bankers fill, and Bitcoin itself has been rock-solid through all of this."
"Hank" says even though one exchange has failed, that does not reflect on Bitcoin itself.
"The beauty of Bitcoin is that it's not regulated by a government. There's no government to step in, print more Bitcoin, and manipulate the markets."
