Which of you is reckless enough to stand beneath the Stamp avalanche? I pity the fool!
I pity the fool that is standing beneath the avalanche of worldwide Bitcoin adoption.

Finished gradually going all in to PPC. PPC/BTC chart just looked too attractive to ignore.

the price has gone from $250 to $450 (up 80%) in just 2 months with no real positive news eg no increased adoption etc. Does anyone else besides me call that a pump? And after a pump comes dumpy, dumpy, doo. Let the buyer beware.

IMHO, price has gone from $1000 to $250 in just one year with no real negative news. And BTW, adoption is constantly increasing!

At least short-to-mid term, price is not mainly a function of fundamentals, including adoption. That said, increased adoption has taken place, and it is likely to be at least one factor in the current trend. Note also that, just as before, it takes a while before it shows an effect on price. It's a pattern playing out for third or fourth time now: 1. Adoption is "ahead" of price, market begins to rally. 2. Price gets ahead of adoption during major rally (possibly goes to new ATH), falls back sharply. Bear market commences. 3. Adoption continues, price continues to fall. This goes on until the set-up is again as in step 1. As for evidence of increased adoption, see for example: Sure, no. of tx is not the final word, as it's a metric that can be manipulated. But there's a similar picture for hashrate, no. of wallets, etc., so I take it that the most likely interpretation is that adoption isn't exactly skyrocketing (like some bulls were/are hoping), but that it's growing in a pretty respectable way, that could be taken to be somewhere between 'steep linear' and 'comparably shallow exponential'.

And BTW, adoption is constantly increasing! wasn't the drive to $1000 created by the willybot so that when it all came unstuck the price simply went down to around where it might have otherwise have been. ie it was pumped up and collapsed. it did go down on no negative news (other than the thing being a 'have') but I note it also went up to $1000 on no real positive news. to me the $1000 ATH was just a faster/steeper rise than the current one but otherwise its much the same and that makes me suspicious.

No, the drive to $1000 was created by greed and increased adoption. The willybot has nothing to do with it. It all came unstuck when the US government confiscated MtGox's bitcoins and later sold them out to crash the market.

The good news is that the long crash is over. Most people were skeptical of where the bottom was so it would not have been wise to invest when the price could continue to fall. Now the market has shown that the bottom is in, people are fairly confident that the price will not go below that bottom and now that the price is rising people can see the potential for a price climb. The price has been too low all year due to the worry about falling lower. We are finally returning to where it should be. I do not think it should go much higher (around $500 or so) but the momentum will likely shoot it up beyond where it should be. But there is always the correction.

No, the drive to $1000 was created by greed and increased adoption. The willybot has nothing to do with it. It all came unstuck when the US government confiscated MtGox's bitcoins and later sold them out to crash the market. And every time China "banned" Bitcoin it smacked down the price. Mt. Gox was a hard blow to the infrastructure, but the chinese governments suppression of Bitcoin was what put an end to the Rally. This was the start of the end: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-12-05/china-s-pboc-bans-financial-companies-from-bitcoin-transactionsAnd then there were article after article of this and that chinese exchange being told by their banks that they've gotten an unfriendly phone call from someone in the government. For quite some time you had to fill up your exchange account on coupons. Hard to get big investors interested with all that going on. Edit: here's coindesks price index from that period: Notice how it peaks on the 4th, one day before the PBOC announcement.

There are about 35.000.000 people in world with more than 1.000.000,00 USD....
sonner or later BTC will go above 1M USD/BTC
that might happen when usd gives up the ghost... although when it does one ounce silver will be worth multiples of bitcoins . people who own metals will be able to trade them for the "schiest dollars" at the state depository which then can be traded one million "schiest dollars" per one bitcoin at coinbase.
