I was thinking of the reason of this big up, of course reddit mega wordpress are a big reason.
But there is another one, when was the last major hack/theft/lie ?

I can just remember of Mathiew's bet and GLBSE...
No bad news stop to drive the price down therfore fuelling the rocket.

Also what do you think is gonna be the next drama? MTGOX seisure by usa?

Probably the most recent significant exchange scam was the BitMarket.eu one in which the operator claimed funds were lost because he was using them for speculating on Bitcoinica when it got hacked.

No bad news stop to drive the price down therfore fuelling the rocket

Bad news anywhere in the bitcoin ecosystem (like yet another exchange where customers funds were lost) causes a decline in confidence, even if bitcoin itself wasn't where the flaw lies.   There will continue to be bad news every once in a while, but there seems to be an exponentially greater number of developments that are good news    So the ratio of "oh noes" to "that's awesome" continues to decline.  Those just aren't a big deal and impact few ... like did you even know that miners at BitLC.net mining pool can't access their funds or that FXBTC.com (an exchange in China) claims to have been hacked?

didn't know about that one. What are the quantity of btc involved?
maybe effectively ppl get less affected by thoose hack....
i still feel the quantity stolen is much much less, a few month ago pirate stole 500 000 even if you take out the dividends it might be a 50 000 btc stolen  which was huge at that time and now it's like X 000 000 $...
GLBSE was big even if it s not really a hack loads of shits happens and loads of bitcoins get stuck/lost...
and before thoose too very regulary the speculation & general (the 2 i read) forum get thread speaking about the consequence of this hack or that one
Now i feel it's been a long time i didn't read one of those post.

Pirate's scam took us from around $12-$13 to around $8-$9 for a short bit.
