nevermind i looked at the graph
 
apparently that last reward half was in 2013 (explains the jump in price)

and the next reward half will occur in 2017 in guessing from 25 to 12.5?

Yeah, fewer coins introduced and demand stayed the same... price goes up. Then people started noticing.. and buying more causing demand to go up. price soared.. and people noticed.. and people started really investing.. and prices went crazy :X  hopefully next time it wont be like that. But who am i kidding, people are idiots.. ill be prepared xP
