Thanks, excellent read

The rise is inflated due to the amount of sellable BTC on the exchanges. 12m created, 2-3m of those have nearly no traffic, yet the exchanges only have daily volumes of 36k to 80k bitcoins...

Exchanges are 30,000 BTC from dropping back to 200 etc ... small number considering outstanding coins. Until there are some major sell offs to exchanges, allowing more volume to be shared and spread among more people ... there will be high volatility.

We just need the real BTC rich folks to dump their coins, kill the market and allow that spread to occur.

Education of how to store, backup and restore will have to become a thing of common knowledge before the currency evolution really takes off. Until then people are going to be freaked out that there is a risk of loosing everything if you misplaced your paper backup and HD crashed.

We are working on an entire episode on how to do this for the masses of peope that havent taken the time to create a paper backup, private key, encrypt etc ... We will present this in the clearest way possible.
