Is there any news that make bitcoins going up these days?

Perhaps they are trying to pop up the price so much as to pay for the Romney tax return 1 BTC? Smiley

Any idea is welcome.

And how does it impact the price of BTC from your point of view?
More people using Bitcoin, more trades/exchanges... Wink

No, I believe the number of bitcoin nodes has been on a steady decline for some time now. Alt-clients offer more convenience for casual users, and they have been getting increasingly better.

The sudden spike is likely due people wanting to tinker with the new release.

Could be wrong though.

It's gotta be Mitt Romney buying his hush money. Wink

But we would see it here:http://nandbit.com/romney/
Of course, if I had much money and wanted to produce panic buy I would send some money on those 2 addresses :-)

Bitcoin Conference 2012 in London is one reason, I believe.

Lots of announcements and sharing of Bitcoin innovations.

Haha, I don't think it works quite like that, but if it did, I would be all for it.

I guess it will reach 11.72 before 9.40 PM this time  Wink

I'm about to have 10 people test a new automated trading bot...
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/automated-trading-platform-any-interest-109317

My thresholds are low enough that it shouldn't be effecting the price, but if enough people were running it with high enough thresholds I believe the cumulative effect of the algorithm might stabilize the price (although that's not it's intent, it's intent is to make me money Wink )

Anyways I'm inviting comment on it, i've laid the entire algo out on page 2.

Sorry for the thread hijack!

Hi Asis,

your idea seems to me very interesting but why don't you announce it with your own thread? It's more effective, from my point of view.  Wink

Also I've noticed about the last 3 big media stories are all positive I think journalists are starting to realize the price moves on what they write and are buying in.

You consider the Mitt Romney extortion positive?

Yeah it was a bit of a stupid argument on my side considering all that's going on, but if you look at google news for bitcoin it's all positive no talk of silk road, funding terrorism or ponzi's and tbh I thought the Romney thing would create a shit storm questioning the danger of bitcoin but it hasn't at all....yet!

Speculation the September announcements going to come out at bitcoin 2012 and move the price up. Also I've noticed about the last 3 big media stories are all positive I think journalists are starting to realize the price moves on what they write and are buying in.

It's payday, and time for people to spend their hard earned money on SR using Bitinstant...

As usual you are probably very near to the truth (my personal opinion)
