Why I'm Putting All My Savings into Bitcoin (2011)
He also in the article nudged people into using MtGox to buy BTC which doesn’t make much sense in hindsight either.

There was nothing inherently wrong with Mt. Gox as a place to buy BTC. It was trading it and storing it on Gox that got you burned. I lost 0.6 BTC because I was planning on margin trading some but that was only a fraction of my holdings at the time.
