I personally believe it is due to wider adoption but here is another theory you did not present:
A criminal organization has taken note of Bitcoins potential to be used for money laundering and transferring funds within their organization without the prying eyes of banks. In order to effectively do this, Bitcoin must be worth much more than $5-6, so they are injecting fiat into Bitcoin to make it more suitable for that purpose. In order to prevent anyone from taking too much advantage of this and causing a bubble, the capital injection is happening over a long period of time.

I did offer that option, falls under "widening of the user base"... Kidding. Almost. |

I made a healthy decission to sell at 10.8, then panic bought during that $1 billion glitch. Anyhow, there have been lots of votes cast by now, and I was thinking... The majority can never be right about the market movements, because they would then act accordingly and cause exactly the opposite. Any majority opinion about the market is a self-destructive prophecy. So, I speculate that options with least number of votes are actually most likely. |

noooooooo, exactly the opposite is true. If everyone thinks it is going to go up then everyone buys and holds --> it goes up If everyone thinks it is going to go down then everyone sells --> it goes down |

It will reach around US$ 15 at Mt.Gox market, then will blow like a true Japanese volcano. US$ 13 is just the vibration which precedes the eruption.  |

In retrospect, I failed to include a totally obvious option: single player pump-and-dump. Slowly buy over many weeks, build up confidence, let the herd grow, then dump. The closest option was #4, HYIPs. Curiously, that's got the least votes.
Anyhow, I still think the fundamentals are growing stronger. Lots of great ideas being developed. We'll have to live with pump-and-dump bubbles along the way.
