I think you should follow the method of the Bitcoin(card) Fund - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=86083.0 - but also add a GLBSE way to invest.

Is there any graphs/charts to show the flow of fiat funds(value) going in/out of the bitcoin economy.  What I mean is a charts/graphs that shows how much fiat cash is being turned in/out of bitcoins and whether and when the value is increasing linearly or exponentially?  The nearest I could find is bitcoincharts market cap?  Maybe a graph/chart of the market cap over time would be suitable?  Does anyone know if there is such a chart/graph.  Thanks.

The HKEx, which has the Chinese government as its largest shareholder, beat off competition from the US-listed Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in a closely fought battle.
The takeover will provide a significant boost to the LME’s plans to expand in China if the deal is completed during the fourth quarter of the year, as anticipated.
However, fears have been raised that placing the entity that sets prices for industrial metals globally in the hands of the biggest consumer of industrial metals globally may not be a sensible move for the rest of the world. The Chinese government chooses the chairman and chief executive of the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing, as its largest shareholder.
Some analysts have also expressed concerns that the HKEx may be over-paying for the LME.
Martin Abbott, chief executive of the LME said: “This proposed combination will secure the future of the LME for its next 135 years. The LME’s global benchmarks plus HKEx’s pre-eminent market position in Asia, its IT and trading resources and clearing expertise will cement the LME’s position as the world’s foremost base metals trading venue.”
The LME, which was established in 1877 above a London hat shop, accounts for 80pc of traded volume in global metal futures transactions. Its building on Leadenhall Street in the City financial district is one of the last bastions of open outcry, with futures in metals including copper, aluminium, zinc, lead, tin and nickel still changing hands in so-called ring trading, as well as electronically and over the telephone.
HKEx will part finance the acquisition through a £1.1bn pound bank loan. Any deal would have to be accepted by 75pc of its shareholders including JP Morgan, which could receive £151m and the Bagri family, owners of Metdist, who could be handed £130m.
“This is a transformational milestone for Hong Kong,” Charles Li, chief executive of the HKEx added. “You have the biggest exchange, the biggest market and a lot of inefficiency.”

China is the world’s leading consumer of commodities so gaining influence over the pricing and warehousing of those commodities is crucial to China and owning the LME would deliver that. The advantages to Chinese industry, over rivals, are obvious. It is therefore very surprising that no one in Europe, or the UK, has realised the importance of this putative deal.
The LME doesn’t physically own the warehouses but it does regulate them – thus dictating terms to the site owners. The LME is a hugely strategic piece of market infrastructure which should not fall into the hands of any one government. But it is a “must have” asset for China which is bidding for it through the state controlled Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing. That’s why it’s willing to pay more than £1bn for it, even though the LME makes only about £10m in profit – a multiple that even Facebook couldn’t command in its over priced IPO.
It’s not at all clear what Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing would do with the future of metals trading in the UK but if activity moved away from London to Hong Kong allied activity in the City of London would likely follow.
Given the LME’s dominant position in the trading and price discovery of industrial metals it would be impossible for a rival exchange to develop. Once infrastructure such as the LME has gone, it’s gone forever.

+1  I think the original developers of this project should take in some of these ideas to make the project stronger financially and stronger in the whole bitcoin community by reaching out to more bitcoiner's. 

BFL's ASIC hardware will probably be three times the price and 300% lower specs when there finally released in twelve months.  BFL are just offering the trade in option to suck more buyers in for there FPGA's.  We have been buying Sparten6 hardware not BFL and as for upgrading to ASIC's were probably going to wait for OpenBitASIC - (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=76351.0) - as it's opensource-hardware therefore should be much cheaper than BFL's ASIC's.  We will continue buying more FPGA's for now probably the ModMiner >1GH/s@50W (with the new ET bitstream) for $1069.  If BFL-Single shipping lead time improves drastically then we may purchase them.  RSM is different then the mining bonds on offer.  We do not offer a bond you buy an actual share in the company, a share in all the hardware we own and a share of all profits.

I don't think ASIC's will be on the market for twelve months yet and I expect FPGA's to be profitable for over two years to come yet at least.  Once ASIC hardware is available for pre-order we will be moving into ASIC hardware but only very slowly and very carefully.  As I expect after the initial release of ASIC hardware I expect there prices to drop drastically and there hardware spec's to improve dramatically.  Also all the FPGA hardware we are buying has quite a high resale price as it can be reprogrammed for other uses.  The ASIC hardware being produced will probably have a very low resale price and even the slightest change to the bitcoin protocol will make them obsolete.  That is why we are thinking of going into opensource-hardware due to the logic its production costs will be a race to the bottom and therefore in the long term more major adoption.  So then less chance of them being made obsolete.

LoL totally forgot about that brand    But I think BFL's ASIC's are going to be VERY expensive with a VERY long lead/loan time until there delivered and then OpenBitASIC (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=76351.0) coming on the scene with opensource hardware.

Intersango GBP is always dearer than MtGox GBP which is always a bit dearer than MtGox USD because it's easier and quicker to buy BTC in the UK that way and the UK is net buyer of BTC rather than seller/miner?

£4.25434 now on Intersango  MtGox doesn't lead the market anymore it follows it 

Well they shouldn't have bitcoins either 

I'm on a 1920x1080p HDTV and it still looks ugly?

Hopefully but for it to rally an extra $0.10 at 22:00GMT/UTC on a Friday in a matter of minutes makes me think its a bubble.  Maybe some last minute trading before the weekend but looks like the only way is up.

Well Intersango GBP/BTC is at £4.06 and that's $6.38 

$6.222 WTF 

Well codes have been knitted and woven into fabrics for over a millennium.  Think of sailors jumpers and Scottish kilts.

Yes I read recently in another post on the boards somewhere who said their dads router had blocked bitcoin sites and that they didn't think he added them manually?

The Silk Road has done a lot for bringing attention to bitcoin and making new bitcoiner's.  I'd never even heard about bitcoin until I read that infamous article last year about The Silk Road where it mentioned bitcoin.  As for drug use yes caffeine, alcohol, tobacco and went to Amsterdam when they still used Guilders    Also The Silk Road may be a better way of selling drugs then dealers with guns or drug pushers pushing smack and crack on vulnerable people.   A selection of society are always going to want to use drugs and prohibition with the War on Drugs is obviously failing.  Look at the prohibition of booze in America about a century ago that can arguably be stated as the cause of the formation of major organized crime in the US like the American Mafia!   As for using The Silk Road well I live in area with a big hard drugs problem and cannabis is smoked openly outside pubs and on the streets.  All the pubs put greese on top of toilet seats covers and the mirrors have all be broken of the walls.  So if I wanted to to buy some drugs I'd probably find it easy and quicker just asking one of the local smack/crackheads or a random smoking a spliff  

The last post I read by him he stated he had no business involved with The Silk Road or his wife would leave him and that post was in the last two months?  So his wife has left him?  What does this mean for his investment scheme future?

Thought I'd try a bit of trading following Bollinger extremes so bought and sold for a small profit.  Have an order in now to buy at £3.91 with the extra money I made current lowest bid £3.97001.  Think I'll leave that order at £3.89 in until it sells and then just buy what I usually buy next week.

Good idea.

Thanks
