Yep, am calling this as the end of Bitcoin, it may drag on for a while, but it's dead.
On the 13th of Janurary 2013 the price of Bitcoin was 13 USD.
As I write this response to your post the price of Bitcoin is 885.5 USD on Bitstamp.
That is more than a 6800% increase for the year. No other investment opportunity has seen such growth.
Perhaps you were referring to the US Dollar? "dragging on for a while, but it's dead"
