I'm not so sure that JakobVirgil was being as critical as curious. He's a pretty laid-back guy. From one perspective (especially the one presented by the MSM), bitcoin is/was indeed in a crisis. There was some schadenfreude for those that see the libertarian contingent of the bitcoin community facing the downsides of an unregulated economy, but I think the question about the resilient optimism on /r/bitcoin is valid. As I mentioned elsewhere here, I think a large number of folk on /r/bitcoin: have a personal stake in it, are very idealistic about it, or are simply immature. Those folk might be unrealistically optimistic. But, like you, I feel that it wasn't so much a bitcoin crisis as a MtGox crisis. I am still bullish on bitcoin. Some might be blindly optimistic about bitcoin (and I believe some on /r/bitcoin could be), but you needn't be blind to be optimistic about it.
