All these factors contributed to a massive price slide earlier this year. However, for all the talk of bitcoin volatility and hype-fed bubble, the price has remained relatively stable since the slump.

A month ago the price stood at $484, a month before that it was at $564 and on February 22 it was $604. Compared to national currencies, these are still significant swings, but they pale in comparison to what the market went through in November and December.

Finally we are seeing some uptick. That means that the Mt Gox effect is starting to wean off. I think that the Investments from Li Ka Shing and Branson have fueled this upward march.... let's see how much it will last.

I wouldn't get too excited yet. Can easily go back the opposite way.

The Budweiser thing was not important, and I really doubt whether it had any impact on the exchange rates. The MIT initiative, as well as the Bitpay fundraising, on the other hand received widespread media coverage.

I think there is a network effect in the bitcoin world, the more people will use it the higher the value. Its a matter of time  Smiley

It's part of the overall combined effect I agree it was not as important but it did help
If I was to be technical I would also have to add that coinbase giving 10 dollars to any top 500 university student with a .edu address helps to promote it.

I agree it's becoming reasonably stable "perhaps due to increased investments and holders?". it still makes enough movement to make it quite volatile "and might potentials for large future growth"
