That chart is awesome, although realistically it could have done with being a log scale. But I like the fact that it's not to prove a point Smiley

If we can see another 900% growth next year I will be a very happy man, and hopefully mortgage free too Cheesy

All this proves to me is that I'm right to be getting into Bitcoin and should be trying to earn as much as I can before even 0.03 BTC becomes too expensive to sell things for, this was an alright article considering what the Bitcoin articles are normally like.
