ever considered its actually the american government and the fbi and the powers that be ( huge financial corporations ) and the governments 'they' oppose ( yes - that includes you china ) thats doing most of the pumping - alongside their contacts in other countries ( including russia and most of the components of the european union ) - so that the auction is maxed out for profit - for the 'highest bidder' ...
sounds far fetched? ...
why dont you have a look at the financial history of the american federal reserve ... yes - that MASSIVE privately owned one - that most americans think is a government controlled bank ... the one thats owned by the the richest people and conglomerates in the world ...
sounds like a great plan to me ... and the proof is all around us with the bitcoin / fiat price ...
there will be some fall out when all this subsides in a few weeks ... and a lotta people broke ...
so ride the wave while it still exists - and cash out ( if you want to get back into fiat ) soon ...
ill watch ... like i always do ...

Again though. It is of no benefit for the govt to pump the price.
Today was the last day to have bids in. Most bids have been in for days or weeks now.
Here it is again.
Say you sent a bid in for $1,000,000 for 40,000 and you won the bid. Regardless of what the price is of BTC you won the bid and the coins.
This pump has no bearing on these bids as they have been submitted for days and weeks now. And if you did procrastinate and waited till today or yesterday then your shot is long gone.
Imagine the time it takes to register and submit the bid and the actual deposit of a few hundred thousand dollars. I just can't see it happening in a day.
EDIT: I am thinking the winning bid is about $125 per BTC. Just my opinion.
