Email thread below refers.

The gist of my posting this interesting email from BitHub Africa. I have a few queries/concerns:-

1. Is this Bitcoin 'bubble' good for the reputation of BlockChain Technology long term?

2. Will this volatility of the Bitcoin Exchange rate spur a speculative run which will be eventually hurt those who shouldn't really be dabbling in the forex market? 

3. How will Central Bankers the world over react to this?
