I have a gut feeling that a lot of it is being generated by people investing in various Bitcoin stocks on btct, bitfunder etc + deposits/withdrawals on some of the new gambling sites such as just-dice.

Also...  I think there has been a lot of ASIC mining rig buying going on. So many different groups offering chips,kits & rigs.

Just a guess though.

Or so they claim. I've just ignored any news MTGOX puts out as just lies.

You think, your answer is funny, because you don't understand the chart.
