Interestingly enough, several Bitcoin-related apps started spiking on the Spanish iPhone market over the weekend. Bitcoin Gold shot up in the Spanish iPhone Finance category from 498 to 72, and another app called Bitcoin Ticker zoomed from 526 to 52 in just one day. A leading service called Bitcoin App jumped from 194 to 151 between Friday and Sunday as Spaniards brooded over the Cyprus crisis.

It could be too late for Cyprus although I read the government vote on these measures has now ben put back until at least tomorrow, I'm not sure how that affects the banks as they should be open tomorrow after the holiday. There could ba a huge run on the banks tomorrow unless they remain closed.

I read that people in Greece have a suspicion they might be next and they're taking preventative measures.

If I was sitting in any one of the Euro nations which are on the 'shit list' I'd be thinking about moving my money out of them too.

From what I understand the follwoing countries have issues in addition to Cyprus : Greece, Spain and Portugal

Also, lately there have been many articles on the spanish press about Bitcoin, so more people in Spain know about it.

Yes, the BS bank deposit tax in Cyprus has put a black cloud over the deposits across all of the non-German banking industry in Europe. So the number of searches and app downloads related to Bitcoin in Spanish has spiked over the weekend. How long does it take for a Spainish citizen to transfer funds into an exchange?

I sent a transfer to MtGox this thursday(March 14th) via SEPA transfer to their bank in Poland and got the money into my account on saturday (March 16th).
