hoohoooo... big conspiracy... mad iranians... selling oil for bitcoins which they change back to petrodollars at mtgox...

Let's have another theory: Obama who runs the bear trap on mtgox. That's the way they will save the budget...

You fool! It's obviously the robot prototype JFK that has traveled to the future to hoard bitcoins, sell them on Gox, then use the USD to buy the pope mobile, and then take the pope mobile back with him to the past...to change the future. I can't believe I even have to spell this out for you!

This is the most wild but compelling conspiracy theory that might have legs, all in a single chart.

In a nutshell, Bitcoins are backed by oil. Literally weeks after the European Union implemented sanctions against Iran, the price of Bitcoins started to explode.

Until that point, the Iranians were able to sell their oil to Europe as only the United States had the hard hitting sanctions. However you’ll notice almost immediately after those sanctions were implemented the price of Bitcoin went up.

correlation != causation

It is correlation does not imply causation. To state that correlation never equals causation is just as ignorant as the OP.

correlation and causation = conspiracy theory

... which exactly is as advertised in the article.
