I am predicting an outbreak of Ebola next year that will cause a worldwide recession--you read it here first. What that does to bitcoin is anybody's guess.

I know what it should do, but not what it will do. What it should do is help bitcoin, as the coin is the fast way to move donations of money to the exact pinpoints in the world where they are needed.
Maybe you are right, I dunno. But they say the Black Death of the 14th Century helped Europe bypass the Middle East, in the same way the Plague of Justinian helped the Middle East (in 6th Century) bypass Europe. So maybe fewer people will help the mechanics of bitcoin? Macabre thought!
