It must be a very difficult issue for them. Bitcoin will replace the value proposition they offer - Dwolla is made redundant by Bitcoin's success. It's like they're helping to foster a child that will grow up to kill them! Strange relationship.
I never heard about dwolla too before bitcoins. So it can be an influence of their daily transactions.
yep it's pretty obvious
Never even heard of "dwolla" before I got into Bitcoin 
. So that bump is an obvious bump related to Bitcoin...

Yep. It's from bitcoin.
Received an email today from Dwolla, with them announcing they've passed $1m in daily transactions. They've got a nice infographic chart showing their growth since December. Now, of course, it is strikingly similar to the growth of interest in Bitcoin (starts jumping fast in May, right as Bitcoin started getting traction).
However, they're not mentioning Bitcoin AT ALL in either their email or graphic. It's understandable of course, but I found it amusing. Am I wrong in speculating that a significant part of their growth is due directly to Bitcoin? My guess is that they have a love/hate relationship with Bitcoin, as it's bringing them massive business, but is also likely to make them obsolete before they ever truly succeed.
Thoughts?
