Why $17? Because this is happening...

[notme]

What? Market had swallowed >150k coins dump in a day and we are still at 17? How?

The bulls that have been buying just caught a lucky break that will allow them to keep accumulating.

Holy cow! Solar Panels for Bitcoin?! Finally! Now we just need someone to offer wind turbines for those of us who don't have the sunlight

Maybe someone knows that something is going to happen, and that there are not many places to hide:

More than $114 billion walked out of the biggest United States banks this month, and nobody’s quite sure why.

LOL! VIVA LA REVOLUTION! VIVA!

Most Chinese solar companies are scammers using second  rate materials discarded from the Garden LED lighting business
bit-coin simply provides them a way to get money and not be tracked... or gain refunds.

Nice story, but this is not a Chinese solar company.  It is a California based retailer.  They don't manufacture, just resell and do system designs.

People saw price increase and started buying because omg if price increase i become rich. Then ppl saw btc at 19 and went SELL SELL to make profit. No need to involve pump and dump and mysterious organizations

  So no body could set this off someone somehow.

Oh for fucks sake, man...I already explained it.

Bubbles aren't necessarily caused by fraud...there are a number of reasons that vary with the market, but it generally boils down to group psychology in most cases. (in the BTC market, bubbles are generally driven by greed and the greater fool theory)

I sold at $19. Double the price before the halving, precisely what they should have sold for for the last month. So all that hoarding of coins before the halving has paid off.

Whatever the cause of the rise, i'm happy!

You know, I tried explaining it to him, I even provided him sources so that he could see where he was wrong in black and white.

At this point it is just willful ignorance. Oh well, I tried.

OK, what is your evidence that this was a fraudulent bubble or a pump-and-dump, and not just herd mentality driven by greed and panic?
