Topic: Bitcoin soaring, highest I&#039;ve seen it since last year while it was decreasing (Read 3586 times)

I think that by next month, it is very possible that we may never see Bitcoin worth single digits again...

Nah, it'll be worth single digits into next year.

You've claimed you have a paper wallet stash... so sell a buy option at 9.99 expiring 2013/04/15

He's not serious.

I have to confess, with a smidgen of embarrassment, that even I'm having a hard time taking myself seriously lately. In fact, Lately I've been feeling some cognitive dissonance about my bearishness. The fact that I've got a stash of offline bitcoins is good evidence of this. Get it together Proudhon!

Trusted Bitcoiner

The next few weeks will be epic!

I actually think the price is skyrocketing because people are buying BFL stuff with cash-thus converting into btc via bitpay and providing an artificially high demand for BTC at the moment.

I think BFL stuff may be part of it, but just as much Paypal cutting off cyberlockers and Mr Dotcom's publicity, as well as general greater use of bitcoin.

This. If he implements bitcoin for megabox the last high will seem miniscule in comparison.

+1

You have all of these factors working together to push BTC demand:
Megabox
Pirate BST
Bit-Pay
Bit-Instant
BFL
Satoshi Dice

I think Kim decided to dump a few hundred thousand he had hidden away somewhere into Bitcoin. He'll wait a few days before making a big announcement about how awesome Bitcoin is before quadrupling his money Cool

And why did I forget...

Third reason for BTC to go up (the scary one)....

Pirate has continued to pay out dividends and people are bringing more money into bitcoin to deposit with him. This could be causing massive upward pressure as well.

You are mistaken:

In order for BitPay to pay BFL with dollars they need to sell all those bitcoins and you're right where you were at the beginning and maybe even lower since not all who used BTC needed to buy them first.

That is one way it could happen but that is not what we think is really happening......

Since Bit-Pay is announcing that they have a large amount of coins to sell (optionally outside of the exchanges) and that they came from BFL, Bit-Pay probably has paid BFL as normal in USD and is now long that much more bitcoin.

If this is true... Bit-pay has been on the right side of a WINNING BET! They (on paper) may have made over $20,000 if they had over 10,000 BTC long due to BFL.

Their stuff was available for preorder a long time before the price started rising so dramatically.

Also, BTC9.24 and rising!
