Many of the big depositors in Cyprus won't be able to get at their money, and the smaller depositors are going to have to deal with withdrawal restrictions and difficult international transfers. That said, many people are hoping that Cypriots will probably start buying bitcoins as soon as they can, which will hopefully happen on Tuesday.

You contradict yourself in your post...

You accept people will not have access to move their money in big quantities...
Cypriots have been for more than a week without access to their money, and you are saying that the first thing they will do is go a buy a currency that not much people understand yet, and on top of that you say that they will do it as soon as they have their money in their pocket (as of tomorrow??) WTF!

People have bills to pay, they have families to feed, they have mortgages to pay... not everyone has extra money to experiment on this new cryptocurrency... Im sure more than 90% of the people wont get it even if you explain it to them carefully.

STOP THE FUD! You are making a lot of people believe something that is not real... if Cyprus bank issue will have an impact in bitcoin it will be long term... years will pass first before big herds come and use bitcoin as a bank.
