Sweden is at the zero bound because they are trying (and failing) to fight deflation. I don't think the average Swede or even most of the elites realize the Euro peg is untenable. So when the krona spikes, BTC will appear to go down in price, which will either make it appear cheaper and therefor more attractive or diving in value and therefor radioactive. 

What is crazy is that they have negative interest rates in the middle of a housing bubble. Sweden is going to be an economic basket case. That may actually be good for bitcoin, but it's far from certain.

Sweden has a negative interest rate now. But the important thing is who are represented on Nasdaq Stockholm. It's not the average sweede. Sounds like that's what you think...

The GDP of Sweden is ~0.9% of the world's economy. What's more, they are going to drop their peg to the Euro when Greece defaults and the Kron is going to skyrocket in value. Why would Swedes want our deflationary currency when they are going to have their own soon?

Primary Bull Market - Stage 1 - Accumulation

Hamilton noted that the first stage of a bull market was largely indistinguishable from the last reaction rally of a bear market. Pessimism, which was excessive at the end of the bear market, still reigns at the beginning of a bull market. It is a period when the public is out of stocks, the news from corporate America is bad and valuations are usually at historical lows. However, it is at this stage that the so-called “smart money” begins to accumulate stocks. This is the stage of the market when those with patience see value in owning stocks for the long haul. Stocks are cheap, but nobody seems to want them. This is the stage where Warren Buffet stated in the summer of 1974 that now was the time to buy stocks and become rich. Everyone else thought he was crazy.

In the first stage of a bull market, stocks begin to find a bottom and quietly firm up. When the market starts to rise, there is widespread disbelief that a bull market has begun. After the first leg peaks and starts to head back down, the bears come out proclaiming that the bear market is not over. It is at this stage that careful analysis is warranted to determine if the decline is a secondary movement (a correction of the first leg up). If it is a secondary move, then the low forms above the previous low, a quiet period will ensue as the market firms and then an advance will begin. When the previous peak is surpassed, the beginning of the second leg and a primary bull will be confirmed.

Less than 11 hours until Nasdaq Stockholm opens it doors for bitcoin trading. Am I the only person excited about that?  

EDIT: The exchanges are certainly not showing any signs of excitement...
