   If you're going to jump straight in to the real world of real money,
   yes.
   But you can take baby steps, running a service with limited clients and
   limited amounts, or with play money. Wasn't that part of the appeal of
   MtGox, that it had been running as an exchange for years, before
   getting into the BitCoin world? I think the assumption was that they
   seemed to know what they were doing, so it was safe enough to use them
   for trading BTC and "real" money.
   (Note that I never had anything to do with MtGox, or indeed with
   BitCoin. This was not so much a matter of crypto paranoia as a matter
   of mortgage, three kids, and a wife who won't stop spending.)
