Today, BTC acted like a real reserve currency. 

Over the past few days, BTC was clearly ignited by concerns over the dollar.  As soon as word of a debt deal was announce, we tanked. Whether or not a hyper inflated dollar would have had any real economic effect on BTC is irrelevant. The perception was there... and enough people familiar with bitcoin actuated a price movement.  I was one of them.

Most interesting, is that the media hasn't picked it up yet.  I've seen them connect dots that simply weren't there (Cypriot and Spanish financial crises), but this was real.  It looks like we get to do it all over again in a few months, so maybe the media won't miss it next time.

BTC is officially a safe haven.
