It's difficult to apply patterns on Bitcoin- there are many good, but also many bad events.

I honestly have no idea where we're headed right now.

VirWoX works in both directions - you can use it to get PayPal funds.

Maybe that's why KnC was/is moving coins to Bitstamp: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1081070.0

There's almost no activity on Bitcoin Tracker One today as expected, because people are betting big on the forex markets.

The Non-Farm Payroll publication is better than expected - USD: bullish (USD/SEK went up from 8.3 to ~8.45)

If that's true, $5,000 is a reasonable price for becoming a certified wallet or exchange service.

I don't know if anyone from KnC is reading bitcointalk these days. You could ask them (via email, twitter, etc), but they don't have to tell you.

You thought Bitcoin would go up? If it remains that stable we will need markets offering 1000x leverage on Bitcoin.

That's not a real limitation. It could easily grow to more than 100Mb in a single week.

I think it should be more like:
max block size = 1.2 * average block size of last 1008 blocks

If T=3MB it's like a 6MB limit with pressure to keep blocks smaller than 3MB unless there are enough transactions paying fees so it's worth including them?

I think T should scale over time as bandwidth is growing. 42 transactions per second is still a low limit for a global payment network.
