It started climbing after Bitcoinica shut down - is that a coincidence? (Not trying to start anything - serious question - I'm all for higher values)

BAM, $10 bitches!
It started climbing after Bitcoinica shut down - is that a coincidence? (Not trying to start anything - serious question - I'm all for higher values) I'd say quite possibly yes. With bitcoinica, if you thought bitcoins were going to go up, you could buy them (leveraged if you wanted to). If you thought Bitcoin was a giant ponzi and you wanted to short them, you could do that too. Without bitcoinica, if you think bitcoins are going up, you can still buy them. But if you think they are going down, you now have no way to short. Of course you can sell what you have, but that eliminates a whole swath of people who want to short and don't have any bitcoins.

You should use the American trillion instead. So, how many pre-ordered the BFL ASIC SC at ⊅6? If they waited they could've bought 2.

For Bitcoin to be a true global currency the value of BTC needs always to rise. If BTC became the global currency & money supply = 100 Trillion then ⊅1.00 BTC = $4,761,904.76. P2Pool Server List | How To's and Guides Mega List | 1 EndfedSryGUZK9sPrdvxHntYzv2EBexGA

I think that something is changing. Most speculators and investors are finally understanding one important thing. An hacking attack and/or a bad news about a website/service that manage Bitcoin it is NOT something related to the protocol/project.

The price of bitcoin is directly proportional to the amount of shit-talk in the Something Awful thread about bitcoin. The more they hate on it, the higher it goes, making them more and more wrong. For reference, here is a goon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbfBjo-Mw6U

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable. Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

During the spring we saw good news almost weekly - and the price went nowhere. I think the jump from 5 to 10 is just a delayed response. I certainly think that the good news more than justified a 2x jump.
Remember - a market cap of $ 0.1 billion is nothing. Nothing. Bitcoin needs to reach well over $ 1 billion for anyone to notice. That, of course, is 100 usd/btc. Could happen before 2014 is over! Just buy more socks, etc.

Weekends tend down, for sure, but don't ignore that Mondays do as well. So do Tuesdays. What's on y axis? It's complicated to explain, which is why I omitted it. Effectively, days are classified as Growth if they have % growth above 1,27%, Decline if they have % growth below -0,46%, and unclassified otherwise. The bar represents the difference between Growth days and Decline days (measured in days). If Sunday has -12, for example, that means 12 more Sundays have been Decline days than Growth days. The scale is 5 per grey line, with orange representing zero.

Any chance you could add error bars? From the 6-hour version of the same plot, it seems like they would be significant.

I'm not sure about the usefulness of this however. The motivation is that the more days recorded that are "boring", the more "stable" the day is (rather than being wild-swingish in nature). The STDDEV is multiplied to allow the error bars to show up. Do you have a better idea for an error function?
