you dont understand the word growth my friend

people put their money, enforcing this growth

Thank you for highlighting how utterly uninformed you are.

Yes, people are pumping money into Bitcoin for the simple reason that they hope to cash out at a higher price = speculation.

That is not sustainable, that is basically a Ponzi Pyramid scheme.

The only way Bitcoin can be successful is if there is REAL trade going on. That is, people are buying goods and services with their bitcoins, and unfortunately that market is still relatively small in comparison to the recent price jumps. Yes that market is growing and yes the value of Bitcoins is going to grow, just not at this ridiculous rate.

sorry but in a ponzi/pyramid scheme there is a promised value increase, bitcoin does not promise, it's purely based on real growth of usage

don't be sad you dont own bitcoins in this runup like all of us who are now millionaires

[pumawolf]

hopefully the price rise is just  alot of company startin to get into the mix,  western union is supposdely  gonna get in the action.

WTF is going on? This has to be a bubble??

[just woke up too, and saw the price] - big believer in bitcoin, long term holder of bitcoin, and I really have to agree.  I expect a correction down to 100, maybe below.  This is very much a bubble.  I'm not selling, because I think long term it will rise back again, but equally I'm not going to be shocked when it drops like a stone pretty soon, all part of the eventual growth of bitcoin - it's just too soon for prices like this.  It's not good for bitcoin because it encourages hoarding rather than spending - we need more stability than this.

Transferring or *keeping* money without ridiculous fees (and without a big brother)....do I need to say more? ;-)

I consider 1 aspect which is a real threat to this economy: a fundamental technical fault in the protocol. This what you good people need to keep an eye on.

WE NEED FREE MONEY!

[EndTheFed321]

Yes, desired_username Free money will Free us all

i just went from  broke to poor  all in the same day, if it rises anymore  i can eat at in n out  instead of mcdonalds.

I like this, and therefore I like you. If you had an address I would tip you.

[Grouver (BtcBalance)]

I don't like the price rising.
It makes Bitcoin unuseable right now.
Why buy a product of $100 for 1 BTC if I can buy it tommorow for 0.5 BTC?
Pure speculation... this is.

Stability will come after wider adoption. As it has been said before, BTC have a long road to go. If it will be a success then this price is embarrassingly low (consider the market cap)

Wider adoption means more and more companies accepting it, in analogy, a better infrastructure.

how long does  bubbles  usually last outside of bitcoin,   in wallstreet  or what not.

No point looking outside of Bitcoin because the dynamics are different. But bubbles usually take many years to mature, and in most cases it's not seen as a bubble because real economic trade continues and masks the nature of the bubble.

Bitcoin bubble is like 1000% in a few months, and no equivalent uptick in trade? How do you explain that one? You can't.

Bubble usually burst when the man in the street is buying

[Amitabh S]

Even a bubble at this price is safe

Because you can buy 1 BTC today for the price of 0.5 BTC tomorrow.

When you need to buy through BTC do it fast enough and it won't matter.
