Author owns BTC and hopes news will make it go up.
Nothing new here. Nobody I know is moving from EUR -> BTC.
This is not about "news", this is about "notable press hits", which this clearly is.
This is also not slashdot, where you pad yourself on the back letting the world know that you already know what's been reported upon and even have a supposedly insightful comment.
Everybody I know that has woken up to what is going on with our currencies and has some fiat is looking for a place to put it, they are forced to, since saving in fiat is decreasingly an option to store wealth.
Bitcoin is certainly an option to consider to be included in a "diversified safe haven portfolio", and I think the exchange rate prooves that some actually do include it. It cannot be explained by silgroad growth and/or pure speculation alone any more.
