Gox fiasco is over and should quiet the panick storm for now. Yellen said bitcoin is not touchable. News of possible exchanges (NY). People buying miners like crazy to add to the hashrate. Mobile apps dedicated to the blockchain. Overstock accepts btc.

I know it may be hard to step away, but try to. nothing big will happen in the next month that 2 months from now will even matter. If the price drops it will be a short lived dip because there is a lot of money waiting to buy cheap coins- dont believe the posts you read of people "cashing out and leaving forever" thats all bullshit, they may well have cashed out, but trust that they will buy back if the price goes low enough, and if it starts to skyrocket, they will also buy back because they believed enough to invest at one point in time already.
