>The Gox situation is unfortunate but I think it stems from the weaknesses and corruptability of centralized systems (in this case the Mt Gox Bitcoin Exchange) rather than flaws within Bitcoin.
Mt. Gox has been a poorly run company as long as it has existed; it didn't help that its custom bitcoin wallet implementation didn't take transaction malleability into account, even though it's been known about since 2011: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/?p=418
Remember that Mt. Gox has about 20% (down from 80% back in the day) of Bitcoin's trade volume; the other major exchanges properly addressed malleability and didn't have the same problems.
