Last price on mtgox $27.70 .. Has the pop today in bitcoin price got anything to do with the Avalon orders taken yesterday?
They're only accepting bitcoin of course. Avalon was taking pre-orders yesterday for the next batch and apparently sold out fairly quickly. There were about 100 left when I looked. Anyone know how many units in the whole batch?
I think the last I read was they were trying to sell 500 in this batch.
People acquiring bitcoin to purchase Avalons probably did little to the price. The fact that ASICs are putting a higher barrier to entry on mining might be part of what has been fueling this latest upswing.
