For all intensive purposes, GOX is done regardless of what they do imo.. Ideally they get their shit together and die peacefully but I'm skeptical they will ever "recover".
I think you guys are really missing the boat here between gox problems vs bitcoin problems.
Yes it's a problem for bitcoin that their biggest exchange has lost all control of their bowels, but seriously, did full tilt shitting the bed make poker no longer a game? Gox can suck it but won't "kill" bitcoin by any stretch. Just like FT didn't kill poker.
Bitcoin can do a lot of cool shit and there is absolutely going to be a future for cryptography and better banking/exchange/escrow/law. It's only natural for their to be some major struggles along the way, It's still exceptionally early and clearly btc has a long way to go..
Here are some examples of practical blockchain applications that could be very useful (smartlaw/trusts in particular) -
