Yesterday, BTC was valued 9.5 USD/BTC.
Last night it reached a high of 11 USD/BTC.
This morning it was 14.2 USD/BTC.

What is up with this?

The entire Bitcoin economy is going to crash. Any day now.

Sorry about running the market up.

It's just there is a huge media blitz going on right now and a lot of speculation. There are a ton of people from Reddit that just came in recently to buy, a bunch of them were on #bitcoin-otc last night. Also, in China people are starting to search for Bitcoin to get around their country's inflation issues.

Keep in mind the price fell once from $8.5 to $5.5, prior to that it fell from $1.22 to $.65, and prior to that $.50 to $.18. The price can and will fall, so if you are buying on speculation, expect to be holding on emotion.

Hey, who died and made you the Thread Police?

It's quite interesting to the majority of posters in this sub-forum -- hence it belongs here. The price of Bitcoin has everything to do with mining.

I hope China starts mining in a big way. I would love to be able to buy bitcoins with RMB.

Why does china need to mine to buy bitcoins in RMB? What you need is for someone in china to set up an exchange.

Well there's the Silk Road Gawker article, but that would be giving Gawker and Adrien Chen FAR too much credit. To me it looks like what generally happens when bitcoin passes these hurdles: it doesn't just clear the $10 mark, it soars!
