So, given that article about a guy that bought $17 in BTC in 2009 and found out recently that it was worth 5 figures, should I feel like an idiot for not getting in on this while BTC were cheap a few years ago?

I'd transfer them over to another exchange and sell them, if I were you. The USD price on Mt. Gox can be considered fake because nobody can get their money out.
