Agreed. I think the tension between speculators and people in need of an alternate currency is going to play with the price for some time to come.

IMO it's possible that BTC could hit it big as a currency of refuge where inflation becomes problematic. There are a number of possibilities, including Japan, China, and EU countries. There was a Bloomberg article that talked about some in Iran buying BTC to avoid devaluation.

Do you have a link to the Iran story? I have not read that.
