It's been out of reserve a lot the past 24 hours... Bulls are highly leveraged.

With so much hype surrounding one episode of a TV show I expect people to buy just before the show airs in the anticipation of new users flooding in.  When the stampede does not ensue, there will be quite a bit of selling pressure.  It appears to me that too many people are on one side of the trade at the moment.

The hype has gone as far as people describing the TV show as 'the bitcoin show'.  It reminds me of the Amiga zealots of the early 90s (I was a proud member) who would talk endlessly about capturing a glimpse of an Amiga on TV or in a movie and think it was the second coming.  Everyone else didn't care.

I drive down the road, and think it is cool when I see another car like the one I am driving, since they are rare. Nobody else cares.

It is a hassle unless you get setup with bitpay.  We need more people selling bitcoin to merchants.

Is the bitcoin video they have in the episode real? Ive never seen it anywhere but it looks like a good tool to introduce people for sure.

It's a knockoff of the weusecoins.com video that was paid for by bounty on these forums.

The problem is that most people won't think its real.
Till they google it.

People may have heard it in passing and never bothered to check it out. The show explains a lot and they might go check it out more when they see that the show is about it. Also dont forget that this show is around permanently now meaning people might watch it more than once and get convinced to check it out. Don't underestimate the power of the show.

+1.  love how they put a fake weusecoins video in there which was actually pretty accurate....

Price up to 7.12, less than 10k to 7.2 and less than 30k to 8... upward momentum is significant.

Will we break through?  I don't know.  We'll find out :)

It was all I could ask for and more!!!!

I'm curious how much of the show was real. 

Were there actually logs at "Crypto Conferences?"

Do we think there were three people?  A coder, an author of the white paper & an idea guy?

I love that she said she went online and bought one!  haha, so awesome!
