Don't underestimate the significance of that for sale gold mine that came up the other day. That should serve as a big sale signal for many years to come. Just for review for those who haven't read it yet. This is a great paper that everyone needs to understand: http://m.minneapolisfed.org/article.cfm?id=719&TC=1

“I am holding the bitcoin. Because having a very big confidence the price of bitcoin is not the rates of today USD 650, should be higher than this price very soon.”http://www.coindesk.com/malaysian-online-retailer-accepts-bitcoin-wont-convert-fiat-currency/iPMart along with OSTK holding back 10% of their BTC payments indicates a new trend which will help create a closed loop effect in the Bitcoin economy. their timing is impeccable and is helping to establish a long term bottom.

You do know that your taxes pay for their ability to do that manipulation? The bullion banks own the Federal Reserve, which has as its charter the manipulation of the value of money. The fed has socialized it debt burden as a part of the TARP deal, so taxpayers are liable for the loss if it goes against them, but they get the gains if its a win.
So call it good trading, or manipulation or whatever moniker you like, the facts are that the trade is backed by the taxability of the US citizenry, which is backed by the ability to imprison any who don't pay whatever tax they decide to levy.
And all of this is hidden in plain sight. Throughout history this has been the best hiding place. Just make something a "generally accepted truth" and 99% of the people will assume it is fact and never investigate further. To me what is shocking about this is any simple study of history shows that what constitutes as "generally accepted truth" changes over time, and often within just a generation or two. Knowing this the amount of complacency and acceptance among most people is something I will never understand. Bitcoin is one of the first projects in a long time that is rewarding those who question the system, instead of those who blindly follow and support the system.

If you could "make your money back in 2-3 seasons" and the guy has been mining for what was it 20+ years then he should have plenty of cash lying around to buy bitcoin.

Or he knows gold not perform very good in next months, anyway 1 million for a goldmine seems to be pretty cheap, idk.

Is that chart available anywhere over longer periods? Should have an obvious leading inverse correlation with price assuming that theory is true.

One Hundred Million Giga Hash per Second! Holy mother of god!
This is actually a really interesting benchmark. I'd say the network is *approaching* secure. Another 10x-100x and I might be willing to call it. 100 PH is interesting because that's about what the NSA's new 60MW datacenter in Utah could generate if you fill the whole thing with 0.5W/GH ASICs. Obviously they're going to have to non-public datacenters that are likely a good deal larger, but still...the above observation shows that the network really is achieving a scale that's nearing real security. Sidenote: the growth-rate this past year has been astonishing. I recall when I first made the above calc, I thought it'd be years before we got here. Bitcoin's growth continues to impress me.
