It's called Pump'n Dump. Nothing unusual. It'll come back down to 230 or even lower soon. No worries.

Prediction:  Within a week, at least one major exchange announces that fiat withdrawals are temporarily halted (probably Stamp).  Bitcoin withdrawals will still be processed though.   

Very interesting regarding btc-e and licensing. I hope they do. I would be interested in helping contribute depending on what they sold shares at. You could try to use lighthouse to crowdfund the business lol. Make it a DAC. Working on the legal intricacies would be a blast too. It's funny when you look at what's happened with some of the other 'licensed' exchanges and then you compare that to btc-e's op/sec and they still seem to be standing strong but then again there could be an unintended or intended consequence of not going after them... I figure they'ed also need msb/regs too though, the total cost + licensing would be steep I figure. You might be able to buy like a deli who already has a mtl but that would lock you in just for that state.

sitarow- that gif was great. lol

Thanks for the update Sitarow-

I'm not really sure what to think about the markets right now. We seem to just be holding steady and going sideways in a pattern on multiple fronts or slightly down in all of BTC/LTC/NMC/PPC. There just isn't much volume anywhere either.   LTC has been especially stagnant except for few attempts to move the market. (Random Cryptsy dumps filling the buy/order book). Nothing happened after those moves though; just strange. I'd expect a correlated rise or fall which would inversely transfer into another market, i.e. from ltc into btc or vice versa, but nothings happening in any arena. Is it relatively safe to say that everyone is just waiting on 'something' to happen? I.e., 30 days until implementation of NY Bitlicense and/or the Marshalls Auction? (Is the auction next week)? I was expecting to see some significant movement leading up to the auction but maybe it's still a bit premature? One way or another my popcorn is getting cold! I was expecting a show!

On another note, anywhere care to speculate on what the effects of the NY BTL will have on the markets and/or exchanges? Think they will try to assert jurisdiction over BTC-E? And has anyone noticed delays moving coins? (I made a withdrawal of ltc that took far too long to move for my comfort levels).

Getting bored of checking the price every day ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Wake me up in 10 years.

FTFY
