True, this is because the mainstream media is talking about Bitcoin now... BBC published news as:
"The head of one of Britain's leading financial regulators has warned people to be ready to "lose all their money" if they invest in Bitcoin."
I feel this is good news, at-least every person is now familiar with bitcoin, and when they see the potential of crypto-currencies, they will ultimately get involved with it. I think cryto will replace fiat much sooner than expected.
