Times like these I'm glad I didn't have a dime in gox--but I was never trustful of them, they didn't to seem to be as legit to me as Coinbase or Bitpay -- I'm not 100% sold on some of the other exchanges either - coins-e has left me with a bad taste in my mouth when they held onto my dogecoins for 2 weeks during a transfer request...
Luckily I have no money in BTC at all - other than 2k for mining equipment(scrypt) - and the coins earned from my small operation is only about 1 BTC so far -- which I'm planning on holding onto till it rallies, WHICH it will (too much investment money in too many companies) for it not to.
Lots of companies have spent a lot of money to integrate it, and there will be a vacuum for a few weeks, maybe even months, but trust will come back into the market and it'll grow...
One thing I'd like to see is some sort of P2P exchange service where exchanges don't happen on any network --ie all funds remain in wallet until time of exchange, -- of course this wouldn't work for usd necessarily, but for coin to coin exchanges it would, unless it was also tied into some sort of site like coinbase where they can store a fiat currency value like a bank for deposit at a later date.

That sounds like bubble talk to me.
