I saw the title of this thread, and got prepared for a shallow one-liner opening post. You got it all covered, however. I've got nothing to add. Thanks.

I come back to eco-system development. MUCH more going on now, including global geo-political awareness, etc, VCs are getting their feet wet, infrastructure is being built out, we've got some bitcoin hedge funds, better security, (mostly) well understood best-practices for handling bitcoin as both a user and a business....
None of that was true in 2011. There was very little infrastructure base. The price was driven by the (in my opinion) correct analysis of bitcoin's phenomenal theoretical potential, but the ecosystem was incredibly thin. Yes, it's still absolutely in infancy now, but still amounts to much more of a solid core to support it in terms of mindshare, commitment, people, money, and services.
I'm maintaining a couple email chains about bitcoin now with dozens of people ranging from 20-something developers, to experienced VCs and entrepreneurs, to Wall St bankers. The level of serious, thoughtful, attention given to bitcoin now by a wider swath of people is great, and not to be under-appreciated.

: excellent post.
I admit, I was only lurking during the 2011 crash, so I can't speak with authority...
I think you're right about the increased trade volume. It is essential to finding the optimal exchange rate.
In 2011 there weren't enough bids (buys) and asks (sells) to meet the demand, so a relatively small number of coins made too much of a change in the price.
And that leads directly to the infrastructure problem: Gox claims they got flooded with the volume of orders. The infrastructure problems have their effect on the price. I think it would be better if the infrastructure scaled before the volume arrived, but I can understand that sometimes the growth is surprising or erratic.
But if Gox doesn't pick up the slack they're just leaving money on the table for someone else to take.

Very nice comparisons, however is it possible to slow down the GIF's? They are moving a tad too quick for me to properly use them without getting dizzy :b

Yes. A percent scale would also be alright. Since we are only looking at ~10x change in price within the time span of interest, linear scale is not too badly distorted compared to the (more appropriate) log scale.

Your warning is welcome, but keep in mind traders who have sold out, and are now talking the price down can play in the wall observer thread.
The price is doing a pretty damn good job of going down by itself, it certainly doesn't need my help.
Edit: and the post above me shows why...

One of my friends on another site only knows about Bitcoin because of Something Awful's old attempts to manipulate the price by posting hyperbolically on this forum. I wasn't around then, but said friend seemed to recall it being somewhat successful.
Hopefully we've put those days behind us!
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.

That was hilarious, and it was a scapegoating which SA played very well.
