Yes, your statement is true from my side. Because there is need afford for access to investment . And this price is suitable for newcomers. Newcomers will be more interested in investment I think that their investment and participation will take Bitcoin to a new level.
I think if someone is interested in 1200 and "miss the boat", he buys as much as he can in the 500-600 range and does not wait until now.
And I think they do not care at all. I have many friends from the IT field, with a fairly high salary and they at least know that bitcoin exists ... but there is no way how to convince them. Whether the cause is media coverage (silkroad, gox, frauds, hitmans, hacks ..), but they just do not want to have it, but in my friends I can see wireless payment card, NFC and paypal account only.
