I think the war in the middle east won't affect BTC at all. To be honest war in that part of the world is almost the norm now, which is deeply depressing. Soon Iran won't have the ability to hit it's neighbors like it is right now as their weapons are destroyed every time they use a missile site. But still, it's a mess. It may last a long time as the old regime is very dug in and wont' be easy to remove. The Kurds in Iran may actually be the ones to physically remove them. We'll see, but I'm tired of the constant mess and war in that part of the world. It just seems to never end...
