Top 20 days for Bitcoin

[Chainsaw]

I like the use of MBTC.

Rep for being one of the first to use this.

Once we pass 500, I'm in the bandwagon to change it on the exchanges.

I just hope rpietila gets his proper credit in history for the usage of mBTC. For how much grief the poor guy took when initially using it, I think we owe him that 

Agreed on the exchange shift. I'm starting to hear and see "I just can't believe a Bitcoin is $200." A unit of '1', though natural, is just as arbitrary as any other order of magnitude for something which is divisible down to satoshis.  I think it'll be a lot easier for Bitcoin prices to go from $0.209/mB to $10.0/mB than it will be for prices to go from $209/BTC to $10000/BTC.

Yeah, anyone who doesn't get this just doesn't understand the human psyche.  People want to say, well Berkshire Hathaway is $180k a share and I just shake my head.

Thank you, sir, for these kind words. Perhaps will, perhaps won't, History will show.

Besides, I am a rich guy so no need to worry about it

Keep preaching the Mbtc.  The sooner we get it onto the exchanges the better. 

[LOADING.READY.RUN]

Keep preaching the Mbtc.  The sooner we get it onto the exchanges the better. 

Careful with the capitals: Mbtc is Mega-BTC, which is 1,000,000 BTC

I think you wanted to say mBTC -- Milli-Bitcoin

[JimboToronto]

mBTC?

Why not just use satoshis?

Come on, every idiot can come up with this. It's normal use of the metric system.

I think it's the other way around: we should reserve a special place on a wall of shame for everyone that mocked him for using mBTC

edit:

it seems like a couple capital M suing folks still don't seem to get it. Sigh, may be they cannot help it some countries refuse to use the SI standards in their public education?

Wavering around the same price level. We have yet to challenge April 9 for #1, though we may soon.

When it comes to consistently-high prices though, we've been on top for a while. October is the second record-breaking month in a row.

Or perhaps that he sent 13.37 BTC to some random troll on the forum just to prove he was "rich" then to have the guy not return the funds and never really post again?

On topic: OP nice job. Looks like the list is getting primed to explode. October is filling up all the daily spots.

Note that I have switched from bolding one month only to bolding the last 30 days. October dates will begin to be unbolded in mid-November (providing, of course, that they remain on the list ).

Interestingly, although few April dates remain in the top 10, we are still far from breaking the April 9 high.

Not that far in my view.

In the next week I see a new #1 spot being created.

I note that this upwards movement has neither the speed nor the decisiveness of the two bubbles. Volume, instead of increasing, is actually decreasing. This feels less like a bubble inflation and more like the lull before a storm.

That is mostly because the volume two days ago was anomalously low. There has been a clear downwards trend in volume over the last few weeks.

Was Gox already having trouble processing dollar withdrawals back in April?

Yes. Gox had no trouble in April, as the Bitstamp numbers then were similar (0.21486). The cutoff in my dataset is June 10, 2013, as I find this date the starting-point of Gox's troubles..

This might be of interest to readers of the thread:
Monthly averages show that April top is definitely cleared.

214.19 now. We should take to #1 today

Thanks for tracking this - pretty exciting times!

Your numbers are a bit different from mine, and I suspect it is a difference in methodology. It seems you are taking the arithmetic mean of several weekly weighted averages. Is there a reason why the monthly weighted average is not used?

Revision:

Also, since we are talking about longer-period weighted averages, here are some data for various ranges.

One-day weighted averages:
