Agree, its amazing.  I have a co-worker who loves to email me every time Bitcoin is in the news.  "It's crashing!"  "The bubble has burst!"  "Tulips!"  etc.     But it just keeps bouncing back. 

After all the Gox & theft hoo-hah dies down, I believe we will see it start creeping back up.  We are here in our little bubble and tend to forget about the rest of the planet.  When legit exchanges finally get established in other countries, it will go nuts.  Western Union will be the first to scream for a ban, if they aren't already.  If they were smart, they'd get in and use it.  They already have everything they need to be an exchange.
