Dollar is a closed system, it will circulate back, all dollars are either Federal Reserve Credit or Bank Credit, there is no way it gets out. (Unless, cash, but 114 bn cash?) |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Since early January, about 10'000 BTC have been melting away every day from the walls on the selling side. Maybe someone wants to get 210'000 BTC, thus owning 1% of all Bitcoins that will ever be created. Would certainly be a nice number. If that's the case, the rally is over now (about 21 days have passed). However, if it continues, we will see 1 BTC = $20 by the end of the week.

I think it has got fuk all to do with that unless you can show me how many websites have taken on bit coin payment in the last few months. I think it has more to do with the currency wars being waged a the moment and becoming now known in main stream media news. people looking for other safe havens "currencies" to invest in. Fiat currency values is gonna go to shit. . And people wanna get the fuck out. The insane amount of printing is gonna make fiat currencies reall fucken worhless reall soon or at least undergo a huge fucken devaluation.

I think its because there has been a steady price rise, and hasn't been a major price crash in a while....people are trying to jump in before the bubble pops.
I'm betting we will continue to see the price soar, followed by a major crash sometime this year.

The more merchants accept bitcoin, the more "money" stays within the BTC system. So it seems that this rise may be sustainable. On the other hand a 50% price increase within a month cries out for a correction. I doubt that the number of merchants accepting bitcoins increased proportionally with the price of bitcoin. I'd be interested in a #BTCmerchants/#BTCprice ratio graph over time. But that would require someone to measure #BTCmerchants accurately. |

I'd be interested in a #BTCmerchants/#BTCprice ratio graph over time. But that would require someone to measure #BTCmerchants accurately. Why would it cry for a correction. An upward move has to be sustained by a rise of perceived total value: totalvalue = #people * averagevalue Now this may be my opinion, but a 50% increase in perceived average value is significant. Unless there is a big investor sucking the coins from the market, and hence increasing the perceived average value, its rather the #people figure which makes the difference. And increases due to #people are subject to a correction due to inflation, because an increased amount of coins covers the same wealth, crippling the average value. As long as we don't understand what causes these increases your guess is as good as mine. I wouldn't be surprised if it soars above $20 and then stays there for 4 months, before it makes another jump. |

Actually this may have something to do with it :  Bitcoin is being driven by financials not by retail, I say. |

I think that the point was not that this particular company is especially significant but that we see this happening pretty much every day. Ever since WordPress hopped on board, the rate of new Bitcoin accepting merchants and organizations accepting Bitcoin donations has increased significantly.

The company i work for first want to see numbers before we can offer bitcoin as an payment method. I want to know how many people use bitcoin and the number of shops that already accept it in the netherlands, germany and belgium and the rest of the EU. If i can get concrete numbers for each country for the company, something big will happen, promise.  |

Belgium: I know of one B&M bitcoin merchant: the Luna Luna B&B in Mechelen. Of course, they invoice the clients officially in eubles but accept payment in BTC. They are fine, upstanding, honest citizens and wouldn't dream of ever doing business off the books, I'm sure.  |

The best numbers indicators I know of are these: http://www.openheatmap.com/view.html?map=BibbonsGomphotheriidaeJewelyFull nodes per 100.000 internet users. Now Blockchain currently lists 6000 Nodes seen in the last 48 hours and has currently ~90.000 online Wallets. So 15 Online Wallets per full node. 60 Mil People with internet access in Germany ~14400 Bicoiners in Germany. These Numbers are of curse completely wrong. I made all Numbers except the 6000 Full nodes up. And didn't include any factors for all other clients, or dead Blockchain wallets. |
All previous versions of currency will no longer be supported as of this update
