Ripples were going up steadily until a couple of days ago and now going down in value.

I agree that 6 is a little excessive...especially because that can take a couple of hours sometimes, it seems.

You can sort of do this with VirWox.  You can add up to $65 with Paypal with a new account and then buy Linden Dollars with it and then use those to buy BTC.  And then transfer those Bitcoin out of there.  It is a big hassle and has a lot of transaction fees though.

Yes this part is a hassle and I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it myself. I think Bitstamp is the best way to do in Europe but I'm not sure how to do it in the USA.  I could go with Mt Gox to Dwolla but takes a lot of verification and such. 

Mine is only about 4 so I gave up.

Chartist and technical analysis is not voodoo at all.  They predicted what happened with the bubble PERFECTLY.  The bubble popped and BTC dropped 85% in about a day or two.  Anyway I am surprised that it is back up to 130 now but I think it will probably drift down to $40 or $50 again after another smaller mini bubble or two.   I think some new money is still pouring in but we'll see what happens.

It is 420 today. I didn't even realize it, but you are indeed correct.  Happy 420 !

and hello to you my friend

Ha that is a fun calculation. I do wonder what the max price of bitcoins that we will see in our lifetimes. It should be very interesting to see how it turns out, to say the least.
