I know the idea doesn't have a lot of supporters here, but ZH has been banging that drum pretty hard:  that the price rise is tied to the Cyprus issue more than anything else.

And true or not, they're making a decent case.  It could have more effect on serious money coming into bitcoin than Cyprus actually does, at this point.

[vokain]

Yeah.... correlation =/= causation and all that. Cyprus is only but one factor, though a very public and recognized factor that has many network effects. Main Street does not yet understand that bitcoins are really that safe haven for wealth, so I don't really think the "new hope" thing was a cause of that selloff, but rather just multiple people thinking it has gone up way too high and selling off to hope they can catch a lower buying point. Cyprus should prove to become a bigger factor as time progresses I'd imagine.

I don't know what's better, his posts, or the following comments from people that haven't figured it out yet.  I'd like to believe most anti-BTC posters are doing the same thing - they can't be that short-sighted.  Some of my favorites are the EMP excuse - if all the computers are taken out with an EMP, you've got more to worry about than your PM holdings.  The CIA controls it. It's a Ponzi. Bankers won't tolerate competition.  Buttcoin.  It's taking all self-control to start a ZH account.
