I am completely convinced that the BTC market value is directly tied to the success and penetration of the Cryptolocker virus, which is drastically driving up the demand for bitcoins. The only way this is happening, is if the guys behind it get caught.

Wow, just read up on that. Good point. Although, I'm not totally convinced that's it. Bitcoins seem to be expanding outside of the traditional black markets (i.e. SilkRoad). At the same time the black markets have multiplied since SilkRoad's original demise, so there will always be demand.
