I'm thinking somewhere between "greed" and "delusion"....

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.)

-Bernanke doubled down on money printing last December -the block reward dropped to 25 BTC per coin
The value of coins was ~11-12 USD in December - based on that we'll need to get to ~$40 before a new bubble even starts.

Inflation rate in jan was 1.7% (which is low)
Mining is only done by a subsection of the community (and increasingly less as the arms race builds with asics and beyond) so block rewards have negligible effect on the price IMO. (as a speculator, the block reward has no bearing on how I trade)
I think the bubble began when we broke double digits. I also think the stagnancy at $5 happened for a reason, and we will be back there by the years end.

If this is a bubble, I think the farthest we are is just past the "media attention" elbow. That happened a few days ago (the Chart of the Day article - our Forbes blogger doesn't count).
Then again, this might just be a rally - in which case, sure, there'll be a correction, but it probably won't follow your chart.

If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

It only measures at 1.7% because the excess isn't going in to food much yet. Is there a bitcoin in their basket?

I don't care where we are in the bubble anymore.
I have neutralized my initial investment, and I can hold my Bitcoins through whatever comes.

"Media attention" phase methinks. Not sure but I think the overall sentiment is very similar to what it was around late April/early May 2011. Many people were still expecting the return back to sub-$1 prices.
This time, I think highest we might go could be bit over $100, likely much lower though. The correction will be huge, of course.

Would you be interested in a deal where you buy the right to sell coins to me for $8 each at the end of the year? I'm willing to denominate this in gold too and we can settle with coin if we both want or I can ship.

Our little community is at greed/enthusiasm, but the rest of the world is lagging slightly behind at media attention

I'm not really interested in a Futures Contract, but there is probably a good market for them here....try the goods and services subforum, you might get some bites there. I'm in and out of the market in time to catch a crash with negligible profit losses (I stay in usd most of time) so a Futures contract wont benefit me much and doesn't mesh with my trading strategy, as I see no need to hedge.
