It took just four hours back in June 2011 for the price to rocket from 27 to the still-standing record price of $31.90/BTC:




Guess what, the price is 27.4 again, the highest Bitcoin has been for it's entire history except for a few fleeting hours on that June 9. We are one button-click away from a new record price!

Will it happen?  Huh

Ironically, I got a "502 Bad Gateway" error when voting for the poll. I guess my option of choice is justified.

Interesting times.

There's a lot more ask depth these days, though - I doubt it will be a straight shot from 27 to 32 this time around.

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.

I'll raise you with a chart with a less "narrow" view. Increase the timespan a bit and compare to an economic bubble chart:



I think we might drop down to 8-10, but might rebound and stay around 16-18 USD/BTC. But this last statement doesn't have a lot of research in it. Just a guess on what prices could reach after the bubble pops.

Dude, why are you so mad that you sold too early while the rest of us didn't?

Anyways, I put maybe by the end of the month because it's really hard to tell.  On one hand, we're so flippin' close but, on the other, it's very clear that no one is quite sure what will happen as good news continues to poor in and an unknown number of new buyers are entering the market.  It's also hard to tell what psychological implications are to be had at $30 (if any).  I really thought we'd be stuck at $20 for much longer.

So, in conclusion, I dunno. Maybe?

No such thing, unless you know of a BTC exchange that supports margin trading. (In which case, being out of USD wouldn't be keeping theymos from buying!)

I think coinbase is driving up most of this and they are out of coins atm. There are other ways to get dollars into the market, but they are not as convenient or cheap. I'll have to wait.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

I wish.  I'm now kicking myself for deciding not to buy more at $14.

If you believe that it's a bubble, and you still buy more in the hopes that you can sell to the next sucker for more, you deserve whatever outcome that you get.

Most participants in a bubble win something. It's just those left holding the bag that get burned.

Dude, why are you so mad that you sold too early while the rest of us didn't?

i sold when the price hit a specific price-point beyond which the risk of holding btc was greater than i was comfortable with. everyone can't be rich. are you that confident in your skills at musical chairs? when this bubble finally does pop, i'm sure there will be people with gains smaller than mine who continued to hold past when i sold.
