And today:

Anyone knows exactly to what extent the cyprus bailout was responsible for the bitcoin rally? that would very useful information to try to develop an analysis adapted to the current greek situation. I only expect a small % of people doing it because unfortunately, most people are clueless and there are people hidding money literally under sofas already because they dont know any better.
