Curious to see if there are any newbies from Cyprus knocking around after the recent bank fiasco?

Cyprus was nothing new really. Everybody knew that the bank sector was screwed up, and twice the GDP. That said, as in many other places, people do not connect the dots easily because mainstream is in bed with the local elites (if it's not part of the same consortium, anyway).

That said, don't expect too much in flow. I don't know how many Greeks turned their money to BTC, for example. But I didn't see any new "Greek" section here and Greece is getting screwed since 2009 iirc.

However, every day that a currency fails (EUR, USD, etc) because of corruption and deregulation, BTC becomes stronger in direct or indirect ways.

Cheers,

I know if I was a Cypriot I would definitely be getting into bitcoins, but I would be wishing I had done it just a few days earlier...
