"This technical issue is of a much larger intensity than we've seen in the past," said Sebastien Galy, currency strategist at Societe Generale in New York. "The market may be realizing that there are issues which are specific to these forms of currencies."

* (who previously stated pearls like: "There is no certainty that the supply of bitcoins will follow the original rules, these rules have already been changed and presume a trust in the ones able to issue the currency. In many countries, printing money is a state privilege that will come to bite in the future as this, like gambling, is regulated for good reasons." in the middle of a supposedly informed and serious analysis: http://www.businessinsider.com/sebastien-galy-on-valuing-bitcoins-2013-4)
