Well, we might have some rough days ahead but I would say the order book won't tell the whole story. I'm sure vested interests have buy programs to limit downside. If not, with BTC's growth, we can imagine buyers would surface pretty quickly. Long term picture here and perhaps we shouldn't worry too much about the short term.

I expect more "attacks" on funding mechanisms in a regulated centric way. But that will definitely fail as properly regulated (larger firms like Bitinstant and such) are or will fill those voids. It will become a PR war, throwing around words like "money laundering" and "terrorism" but we have HSBC (8 billion in drug money laundering) and Wachova (100's of billions in laundered drug money) on "our" side.  

BTC was really designed for what is coming as were the people supporting it, at least in part...
