The second to last dot on the blue line is the last actual data point, right? I notice that it was farther from the trend line than any other point. Is this a sign that the trend is breaking down?

If it holds, looking out to Jan., 2013, I am looking at a price of about $3 and Difficulty of about 269000...

Where will you (or others) offer either the $3 straddle, settles into bitcoins (european-style) on Jan 1, 2013 or the 269,000 straddle, settles into bitcoins european-style (1 bitcoin per 1000 difficulties)?

I suppose anyone could set up a kind of parimutuel pool and start taking bets on price or difficulty (snip)

Parimutuel betting on price is available at Bitcoin Sports Book (https://bitcoinsportsbook.com/).  I thought they offered bets on difficulty too, but don't see them there now.

Wow, that is bold... Particularly since price could be manipulated pretty easily by certain individuals. I see there is was also a pool for Difficulty.

BSB uses a volume-weighted average price over the course of 24 hours.  To manipulate that, you'd need a pretty good bank roll and probably waste any winnings on settlement games.
