Right now at this very moment the fiat price of 1BTC is rallying, and i highly suspect it's because of the number of speuclators entering. I think most people would think that it's a 'bubble' or a bubble is taking place however we have to take note that if more and more people know about BTC and decides to adopt it, the value of 1BTC will continually rise to ranges like 1k-10k without any real limitations.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Is there any published information or reports on whether the majority of bitcoins are concentrated in the hands of a small number of accounts?
Also, I don't understand how the miners could potentially be a part of price manipulation other than possibly hoarding the currency, which would seem to make it so that they cannot recover their investments any time soon.

Some good points..though I expected more disassembly of my "analysis"
Don't get me wrong I have invested a bit but it feels more like gambling than investing.

BTC is backed up by the only thing that ever backs up a price:
demand.

It's clearly a bubble. $20-30 price rises every day are not sustainable. It is going to pop and a lot of people will loose money.

Only if they buy high sell cheap.... they can always wait for it to stabilize back above the price they entered. Could happen. |

Is BTC new world order currency?
I hope not. I think New World Order currency will be a chip embedded in your flesh which controls how much credit you are allowed. ie Fiat and debt based just like now, except with different branding. They might need to partially back with gold or something for a little while to get confidence restored. Unless you are one of the elite in which case gold is the money, always has been and always will be. |

I agree about the bubble, but you might look at it the other way, some people will profit nicely Only those who buy high and sell cheap loose money |

The May 2011 bubble went from 2 to 31 back to 2. Then there was 1.5 years of relative price stablility in the the 5-15 range that ended in Jan 2013 printing a value of 13.50. The next bubble was from there to 266 briefly. The resulting crash saw a low of 65 on July 1 and then relative price stability between 100-150 for awhile. Now BTC has printed an ATH at 272.52 just last night and if you think this is a bubble I would disagree, barring a catastrohpic failure or the like the next bubble will be in the 500 range with subsequent price stability around 300 for a few months.
