it was a statement that dropped the price of the current bitcoin. I believe this will only last for a week, we will see next week is back bitcoin prices upward.
Well I personally think that it was a combination of both cryptsy going under and the statement that lead to the drop in Bitcoin's value, however it could have very well been caused by the statement exculsively. The thing is, they are both so close together with when they were officially announced.
I'd give it a week or two, Bitcoin is very resilient, and it will likely go back up very quickly.
