I'm seeing boasting posts in exchange chat rooms about dumping of ltc. Looks like some early adopters having enought bitcoints converted them to ltc in order to boost up panic about Greece default.
So, rich guys byuing ltc ,making it $5-6 and others think that it all because of Greece and will make price 9-10 recently. But Greece citizens can't even get their own money from banks how they can move them to cryptocurrency?
They can buy bitcoins bit by bit. If thousands were doing this it would all add up to a nice amount of new bitcoin users getting on board. I think the price is more to do with other people buying bitcoins based on this news, though.
