Or the first one was a bull bear trap.
Anyway I hold more bitcoins now than I did when the price hit 266$.
Any thoughts?

The Apr 2013 rise was a real bubble and a steep one at that. People who never heard of bitcoins where pumping their money in. The crash was inevitable and the constant hacking/manipulation of exchanges and Silkrd ensured it.
The second rise we are currently seeing was started by the mtgox problem and ensuing price rise as people try to get their coins out. The feds seizure of SR and the resulting bounce back to current prices in short time greatly increased everyone's confidence in the coin. Now there is less of a chance of manipulation by hackers. Plus all of the weak hands have been scared off the exchanges after the bubble burst in Apr. Now there are a lot of people holding their coins no matter what.
There is also a shortage of coins as well so I've been told.

People can't withdraw real money -> ppl are forced to buy bitcoins with their MtGox dollars. It's great  After Silk Road issue, it became more apparent that at any moment bitcoin businesses, like MtGox, can get terminated. You don't want your real money in there that you can't get out. You are forced to buy coins to get out of immediate danger zone called 'MtGox'. If you finally want to actually have gained something in real life, you must withdraw real money, but you can't right now, or you have to take a huge risk of facing MtGox termination. Pretty much bitcoin sheeple got cornered. And it's great for the price  The outsiders naive guy might think bitcoin is doing great and its time to buy because the price going up, unbeknownst why it is rising. If such a person adds real money, his kind could save MtGox from death (MtGox is insolvent), but I personally think there aren't enough people anymore willing to put new real money in, most people know Bitcoin by now and know its uses (or lack thereof). It's sad for the sheeple but great for traders like myself, who are in BTC trackers. |

When the price rose above about 20 people started assuming we were in another bubble. Looking back now, we see were not in a bubble, we were and still are in a sustained upward movement, and the crash from 265 to 50 was just a minor correction along the upward growth path.

This is not a bubble. Adoption in China is going on.
April's crash and panic would not happen if we had more than one exchange (gox).

Yes but they are loosely related and you can't ignore a 35 (and soon 50) times jump in difficulty. |

Is there any sort of a basis for the strong hands / weak hands theory? Like, something tangible / observable? So many people state this "fact", but it just seems like a wild assumption to me. |
