thanks man, I think I ripped it :)

Yes, to be the first feels godly

This is interesting actually. If you read between the lines, it might even hint at a conspiracy to spook the Bitcoin market....... :-)

Create the the bull run that has chinese investors excited, then deflate the price and make an announcement that Bitcoin is not a recommended store of value. I'm a believer in my hastily manufactured conspiracy theory already! :-)
