Five weeks ago I went to southern Africa and have had no internet since then. I left just after the US congress hearings and have just now got internet access for the first time since then. Looking at the past price charts
wtf?
At the risk of sounding lazy, I really don't want to have to go through hundreds of pages of this forum, so could someone give me a very brief summary of what happened?
Did the interest generated by the US hearings drive the price to $1200, or was there anything else in addition. I've picked up the btce issue but is that the main issue which caused the price to then crash from $1200 to current levels?
Also, are cash withdrawals still impossible out of Gox? What about bitcoin withdrawals?
Cheers guys, really appreciated.
