  The bankruptcy of Mt. Gox had a significant impact on the value of Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market as a whole. Mt. Gox was once the largest Bitcoin exchange in the world, handling over 70% of all Bitcoin transactions. When it filed for bankruptcy in 2014 after losing around 850,000 Bitcoins, it sent shockwaves through the market. The news of the bankruptcy caused a sharp decline in the price of Bitcoin, as investors lost confidence in the security and stability of the cryptocurrency. This event highlighted the risks associated with centralized exchanges and led to increased scrutiny and regulation of the industry.
