I'm feeling the price will explode upwards once market sentiment against the manipulators is forgotten about or so predictable that the whales end up losing money.
This news is very bullish, our market cap is so small that even 1% investment from some of the FT whales would prop us up at least $20.

What is the ft magazine?
This. They might get more publicity from us than Bitcoin from them.

Well my Mucus old sport, there is no fun in trading if you can't deliberate over when to purchase. Besides, I'm interested in seeing what will happen this coming Sunday.
As for you Frozenlock, Financial times is a very well known publication in investment circles. Audience is not a concern.

Well, hopefully this article gets a few wealthy people interested then they decide to buy a good amount, which with then bump the price and all the other wealthy guys just watching it out of curiosity will see the crazy gains that can be made in such a short period of time and then they decide to join in the "fun" and we have another crazy week or two of skyrocketing prices as greed takes over. That would be nice anyways.

While Bitcoin has been constantly on Techcrunch, Hacker News, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, The Economist, Forbes, Mises Institute, 4chan, Radio ads, and national TV news in many countries. Oh, and special 30 minutes reports on China's national TV. My coworkers and my parents' coworkers have heard of Bitcoin. Even my grandparents heard of Bitcoin! We aren't a year ago anymore... How much readers are now seeing FT through this forum, reddit, or other affiliated Bitcoin platforms, compared to the number of readers who are just discovering Bitcoin with FT?

Just FYI, the Financial Times is one of the world's leading business news and information organisations. Your grandma might not have heard of it, but anyone with money or influence has, which is why this might be a good thing for Bitcoin (so far I think it's fair to say the FT has been negative on Bitcoin, but it's only a matter of time). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_TimesOh, and The Economist is 50% owned by the FT.

“My goal is to get rich,” says Jonathan Mohan, blunt as you like.
I stopped reading after this. If your goal is to get rich doing bitcoins, your doing it for the wrong reasons. Getting rich was a by product, and people like this don't believe in bitcoin like other people on this forum do. They even labeled him as a "Bitcoin promoter", this is insane. The "get rich" mentality is also what is the most detrimental. These are the people who help raise it up a bit, then all of a sudden dump and move on, leaving behind a wake of destruction.

While it does have a great chance (especially after being in the news) a lot of people, even after hearing about it, still don't understand what it is or why it matters.

I lol'd at the person who posted a Paul Krugman quote Frozenlock, I don't think it matters that rich FT readers aren't "discovering it" through the magazine. Exposure is important. If the rich folks saw it once in the news, saw a couple headlines on Bloomberg, and maybe had a chat about it for a minute with a buddy on the elevator... well, that's great. They already know about it. So maybe a nice feature (and that WAS a nice feature!) in FT will be what it takes to get them interested enough to look into an investment into some crypto startups. You are overestimating the importance of initial impact. Nobody goes out and dumps $1m into a really obscure, unregulated internet scheme the first time they hear about it. But hear about it 5 times, or 10 times - more people are going to get interested. "Everyone who matters already knows about it" is irrelevant. We're all spoiled since the beginning of April - we're used to EXPLOSIVE levels of growth. Now we're back to slower growth levels and it feels like the end of Bitcoin. Truth is, more and more businesses are accepting, more startups are forming, more people are learning about it and installing clients. Sure, everyone's holding their breath waiting for a good buy point, but everything thing else is chugging along nicely. Choo choo! Let the FT money flow in. Time for an FT bump thread? Or is this it

Eh, I might have developed a hype resistance after too much exposure.
I need a withdrawal period.

It's a favourite read of all city boys, and you are expected to read it if you are going for jobs in the IB industry. Many universities will have its subscription for students to read. Go into the tube at around 8:15 and earlier and you will see a lot of orange pages

I am pretty bearish for Sunday morning but after that, I can see 110-120 rather easy.
