Here are my thoughts regarding the November 2013 bitcoin bubble.
To the extent that comparing the two previous bubbles with this one is useful, here is a comparison with regard to price doubling times, using MtGox USD data.
**** Bitcoin Bubble 1 peak occurred June 8, 2011 ****
The way up ...
0.498 January 31, 2011
0.997 April 15 2011 - doubling time 74 days

If the pattern of the two previous bubbles holds, we might expect one more doubling with the peak very roughly around $1000. Likewise we might expect to see the peak next week, doubling from 523.36 in perhaps only 7 days.
