Nah, Cyprus had nothing to do with it and I'm sick and tired of this nonsense about Greece leaving the Eurozone.

If you live in the EU and think that the banking system might collapse or that the Euro might collapse, you don't purchase BTC, you try to withdraw as much money as you possible can and keep it in cash. If the government ever implements a pesofication of all depositor accounts you can bet people will be trying to smuggle euros into other, more stable European countries.

This of coarse is the first thing the majority of people will do, try to withdraw cash. But when everyone is in hard cash and unbanked how will people make international or even some local payments with cash especially when your wealth is in $100 bills?
I think bitcoin will prove a store of wealth in this situation and might attract moderate attention, but I think that Bitcoin will mostly take off as a medium of small and personal online payments especially.
