Someone should research everything that's been called a bubble when it started and figure out how many of those things actually turned out to be bubbles. I'd kick in a few bitcents if someone put a bounty on this.

I doubt there´s an exact, indisputable way of determine what is and what is not a bubble(except in hindsight). But this might be a good start in terms of what indicators are concerned:

Suppose I have 50k BTCs, I can register around 100 accounts on Mt Gox and distribute all my Bitcoins into these accounts and then I trade with myself from one account to other, every trade with a higher price. By this operations, I can easily drive up the price to whatever I want to drive.

You seem to completely ignore the fact that you'd have to buy the others' coins as well.

Yes, in fact there's no need to start with coins - just buy out the for sale coins until you reach your target price.  The cash outlay is the same either way.  Of course raising the price doesn't make you a profit - to make a profit you'll have to keep the price higher than the average you paid while you sell them all.  That's always the hard part.

Yes, bitcoin is a bubble.

Bitcoin's bubble will pop. Not once, but many times; over tens of years, leading to bigger bubbles.

Hope you still have your coins.
