Don't micromanage the Bitcoin price or you'll go insane.

Everyone's been waiting for the 2014 spike.  Might happen now.  Might not happen till December.

Millions of reasons for the price to go up now.  Good news all over the world as far as adoption.

Check volumes on bitcoinwisdom (huobi and stamp) and check out fiatleak.  I saw 7k in 1 hr to china (fiatleak shows both buy and sell orders so its not really a good indication but close enough).....The normal is 500-1200 btc per hour so around 7x the volume (on fiatleak)

agreed, dont get emotional about every 5-10% change.. its not what i call big. and if you can manage to refrain from 5-10% swings then you wont be one of the ones that panic sells at a 5% drop..
