Could you elaborate on whether Mt Gox truly holds the title of being the largest 
bitcoin exchange globally? While it may have once been a significant player in the cryptocurrency market, the industry has evolved significantly in recent years. Given the rise of numerous other exchanges offering advanced features and security measures, I'm curious if Mt Gox still maintains its dominant position. Furthermore, are there any metrics or statistics that can support this claim? I believe it's crucial to have an accurate understanding of the current market landscape before making such a bold statement.

    This rise in popularity was primarily attributed to the surge in interest and value of bitcoins, with the currency's price skyrocketing from $13 in January 2013 to an all-time high of over $1,200.
