The congressional hearings were very upbeat about Bitcoin. Once the word got out that there wasn't any intention to ban it, a lot more people got interested.

And China. Which we're working on a short documentary about http://kyledrake.net/bitcoinchina.html

I agree - the hearings were great exposure. I disagree with the conclusions people take from them. Quite frankly I can imagine only two futures for Bitcoin: one in which the USG controls it, and one in which the USG destroys it. Still, no telling when it will happen and if its the first case the price may yet double a few more times.

Disclaimer: I have 4 BTC and probably will not cash out for less than $100K per.
