Paypal announced that they were considering taking Bit Coins as a currency. I presume that is what caused the rise. What is causing the fall however, I can't guess.

Buy low. Sell high.

Buy low. Sell high. 

Than you should buy when others sells and sell when others buy.

Lol iv been watching it all day. Went up to 140 early this morning and climbed slowly to almost 160. It trickled back down to 145 and is now right back up to 155

Buy the rumor sell the news etc etc.

[AmbysWorld]

anyone have the link to the paypal rumor, or is it just a forum speculation post?

[infested999]

The PayPal rumor is true.

I was watching bitcoinity markets when the price fall happened, somebody sold so much the price went straight down to $150 and MtGox trading lag went up to 40 seconds. After that it jumped about 10 times back and forth and then the lag was gone.

Someone just got very rich!

There are still those people that bought in at a very low price, some of them will cash in.

Price is crashing, SELL SELL SELL!!! We're all going to die!!!

[OldGrumpy]

To add insult to injury, I accidentally sold some of my btc instead of buying some more after the drop. Duh. The move was interesting, though. At least it seems to recover slowly.
