I don't know what I'm talking about. I only made this in my irrational attempt to short-shell.
Basically he was making an attempt to sell, make the price go down by scaring the participants and then buy more BTC than he started with. He was making the next event up with no bases. As long as I am concerned this rally could really last until the 1.5 mark 3 days from now. You can see that because of the trade volumes, the Market depth, and the MACD indicator. Please note I don't have as much experience as S3052 has, so don't take my worth for it and be safe. There was a spike in Feb from Slashdot and now I think the spike is from a Time magazine internet story.
I think reason x cause effect y on the Bitcoin exchange! |

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

The least risk averse VC's are buying.
I highly doubt this. Any source on any VC's investing in Bitcoin? |

I'll take the beer, thanks  |

I think you are under estimating the current, real-world usefulness bitcoin already has to a certain sector of society, black and grey markets. It maybe difficult and tricky but it is getting better and already better than some of the alternatives ..... while this demand exists there will be 'real trade' floor under the market that is not speculative.
This is probably correct and something I need to try to look into to try to measure where it's at. Obviously a big player in a gray/black market (that's legal in some countries) would make a huge impact. I need to learn more about this to have an informed opinion. |

What are you implying when you say this? |
Do not waste your time debating whether Bitcoin can work. It does work.
"Early adopters will profit" is not a sufficient condition to classify something as a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. If it was, Apple and Microsoft stock are Ponzi schemes.
There is no such thing as "market manipulation." There is only buying and selling.

Fill the blanks and shout it. You will see. For instance, I think Atlas brag caused the exchange price to drop! I think reason x caused effect y on the Bitcoin exchange. It is a meme dating back to kiba and S3052 as far as I am aware.  |

This definitely is possible now, especially since very minor stuff can severely move the market. |

"It costs x IN USD and x-10% in BTC" Until all of us will start pricing things like this bitcoin will be just alternative... and people will be able to live WITHOUT it perfectly.. Read my post for explanations http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5999.0For example I plan to accept funds in BTC for lower management fee for my managed account soon. Now imagine: -Do you want having x% per month? -Yes of course! Where to put USD? -Sorry! No USD - buy BTC and come... Anyone of us having BTC in their wallet must act like this and you will get your ROI! Any thoughts about it? |

There was a spike in Feb from Slashdot
This seems to be a common misunderstanding. At least it doesn't make sense to me. The Feb rally started around Jan 29. But the Slashdot article wasn't posted until Feb 10. And actually that's about when the rally ended. So if Slashdot had any effect on the market at all, it seems it must have been to prevent the price from going even lower after the spike. |
