bitcoin has been following the price of gold. With the government shutdown next week it should spike to around $200. The longer the shutdown the higher it will go. Notice how the trading volume has increase several fold on mtgox. BTC has become a store of value since the Cyprus crisis
Agreed but there wont be a US shutdown next week. there will be a last minute, saved by the bell deal where all sides will claim political credit for saving the world economy while just kicking the can a few months further down the road.
However, if the world economy tanks (which it is due to) then BTC may well spike again!
