There are rumors about the MMM ponzi scheme being somewhat responsible for the current rallye. After the recent price rise we may experience an unexpected dynamic that works like this: Many newcomers to the ponzi scheme learn about Bitcoin and how to buy them in order to enter MMM - and they do this while the bitcoin price is rising very quickly.
Now put yourself into the position of such a person: You have bought Bitcoin that gain 10% in value each day. Would you still "invest" into MMM or would you rather hold the coins, as you already see crazy profits that are even higher than what the ponzi has promised? We might currently see MMM inadvertently recruit bitcoin users instead of ponzi victims, which would be a very nice thing on many levels.
What do you think?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

It doesn't matter what the reason is, just enjoy this big bump! I can't even believe we're standing at $500 again.

It could be. From what I think we don't know the reason for the boom that has happened this week. So it could just be coincidence or some individual behind the price rise.

member of those MMM ponzi scheme will just buy and sell Bitcoins, they don't keep those Bitcoins since they just send it to another address then wait for week then request for withdrawal with interest then exchange since Bitcoin is not that mainstream yet in China.

From what I understood, they would not get the returns immediately, so could be sometime soon. Also highly depends on when the ponzi operator cashes out. He could dump his holdings too.

He could dump his holdings too. 1 week is the soonest that they can dump Bitcoins, the longer they don't withdraw the bigger the interest, that's why some have multiple accounts there. If i'm the ponzi operator, I can easily assign my BTC address to anyone and they will send Bitcoins because after a week, they can withdraw with interest. It's a circle.

If there are more people contoniously participating in the Ponzi, then yes it will run like a circle and will keep the price of bitcoin stable for the entire time the ponzi lasts for. However logically price should still decline and not increase because of the ponzi.

Keeping an eye on this for changes in frequency. I'm sure there are actual chinese video sites that would be better to sample... but I don't know them.

MMM will go down sooner or later. I only hope Bitcoin's price does not plunge along with it.

The problem's not Bitcoin being a ponzi, but the fact that it's a collapsing Ponzi. Therein, Jarhead, lies the rub http://s15.postimg.org/rpdn01dej/Capture.png Bro, do you even Ponzi?

Did anyone see this as well? Government paid trolls everywhere trying to convince people that Bitcoin is a ponzi, or that bitcoin is collapsing because of a ponzi, or that bitcoin is connected to a ponzi and therefore FUD. That is all

Amazing how many bitcoiners think governments actually give half of a flying fuck about them. Self-important much?
Amazing how many paid shills and trolls try to convince people that the government and their criminal too-big-to-fail banks aren't threatened by a system that has made them obsolete! Troll and bullshit much??

Did anyone see this as well? A post on forums like this is one of the many compulsory activities, along with YouTube vids etc., that MMM users must complete in order to qualify for the Mavro Extra rate of 100% a month, otherwise they're stuck on a measly 30% Just report them as spam, they get nuked pretty quick.
