No. This is faulty logic. It assumes that its just as easy to go from $150 to $2500 as it is to go from $15 to $266. This is just not true. The amount of cash into the markets to make this happen is an exponential amount.

It holds if the volume of trades in both periods ($150 to $2500  and  $15 to $266) is the same, but it doesnt need to be the case

Yeah, if the volume of trades is the same - but for the volume of trades to be the same the currency volume is exponential. That's why its not going to happen. Not until a billion more dollars finds its way into the market.

Once we get a billion more dollars of liquidity, then lets talk about going to $2500, bubble or otherwise.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1pgny0/bitpay_processes_1_million_transaction_for/

Its for BFL btw. How and when will they convert the coins to USD?

Anybody knows?

Without reading any further then the OP, I may be able to answer.

Since BitPay now has the coins, they'll know how to liquidate them in such a way to not effect the price by much. Besides, they have a lot more than this $1M worth of BTC in cold storage as anybody would be able to see via the Block Chain.

+1 spot on..

The more bears in the forum, the better.  Cheesy

Golden rule: Bears are bulls that are caught short of their full position. They try to talk the price down. It never works, so they have to buy higher, increasing the price even more in the process.

Read my old post even I growled a week ago in want of $150 coins that never happened. Bought back at $195.

precisely.. i guess bears trying to talk the price down heh... bitpay is not some amateur rushing out to dump the coins.. a payment processor company like that obviously knows exactly what to do to avoid such scenarios.. that applies to pretty much to any business that deals with demand and supply...

BitPay won't do a dump. BTW, has anybody hunted down the tx? It'll be easy to spot. Just look for a 1000000 USD transaction. I think I'll post a bounty in Project Development.
