It's so funny to hear people ask why the price went up or went down.

Buyers and sellers.

lol....

I have to buy some Bitcoins by the end of the month - so hard to know whether to wait for a correction or jump straight into the madness!

I like how all the pseudo-bulls also shout, "BTC is undervalued! BTC is undervalued!" and the second it goes up and they lose their short they start saying "bubble bubble bubble!" with hope they can bring the price back down.

Which is it sons?

My suggestion would be to do whatever your gut says. Bitcoin is too unpredictable for a rational explanation.

My guess is that will be a crash from like $35 to $25.  Just a guess though!

[edit]
I thought you knew and didn't ask a question.

...something like 'Helping out an old guy' = Tom/bASIC,  by pumping the price he can refund with way less btc...

Just a few good friends/Bitcoin "old money" helping him out.

Nevermind :-X

this

Refunds = An ASIC company gave back a lot of pre order money recently.  People think this money went into buying BTC.

Mega = The new 'megaupload' site from Kim dot com.  People were/are speculating about Mega accepting BTC as payment.

It's a pump'n'dump by an ASIC manufacturer who is about to start taking orders for their second batch. Besides profiting from the forthcoming dump, they will boost up their sales figures by boosting up miners' expectations, as mining suddenly seems rather profitable.

Here's my speculation. Infiniti poker is going to be as big as pokerstars ever was (bye bye seals with clubs). Some pro poker players are buying in, hoping that demand spikes once infiniti (sp) goes live.

No idea why but I'm loving it.

Prepare for difficulty to shoot up if these ASICs are real.

I was thinking something along the same lines.....but a bit different.

I think someone who is dealing with ASIC mining could be doing this to increase the value of BTC first to collect a majority of BTC before a sudden rise in difficulty IF ASIC mining goes popular.The result is that the price may actually increase again due to a potential substantial increase in difficulty while they hoard BTC in addition to your theory.

/speculation on my part part.

After looking at the miner operating margin at blockchain.info, it seems miners are hoarding all the newly minted coins. Until the margin reaches around 40%, I am doubtful whether we will see any large scale dump.

I have been wondering if this recent rise is a pump and dump.

Though much more likely to be money from the traditional financial world getting involved rather than an ASIC manufacturer.

Avalon only takes payments in BTC. That causes demand. Then these ASICs hopefully will keep difficulty high.

Both are bullish factors.

I seriously doubt they'd be pumping on BTC, they might store some though.

Thats not a cause, its an effect. But yes, it confirms this increase is not unwarranted

the google trend seems to correlate much more now, than during the june 11 spike.

good times ahead?

Fiat currencies everywhere are in trouble and this is bullish for bitcoins.



check this one out for comparison:
