^By that rationale,wouldn't that mean that the surge in bitcoin is not over in the short term considering he wasn't successful in the aim of gaining profit.
I am basing this on that last push that I shown on bitcoincharts above - it spiked to nearly 14 - so I think he must have aimed to 16 or something, but maybe not maybe he cashed out. It is also possible that now all his funds are tied - because his walls were sold to - so I would not count no him pushing more.

everyone knows this is purely speculative/silk road driven

I can't even tell you how wrong that statement is...  Smiley

Don't you think it was a single-player pump-n-dump operation? Slow, persistent buying over two months to build up confidence, then a massive dump.
There was certainely occasions when it looked like it - someone was countering all corrections to fuel the confidence.  For example look at this: http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD#rg10zig1-minzczsg2012-08-17zeg2012-08-17ztgSza1gEMAzm1g10za2gEMAzm2g21zi1gMACDzv

A dump quickly countered so that the trend lines hold, that was not rational assumming accumulation goal.  There were others - but this is perhaps the most obvious.  But I think that he did not actually profit from this - he did not predict that the reaction will be so strong.  I hoped he'd dump this dump as well.

block is gonna halve soon, everyone knows this is purely speculative/silk road driven, no reason to think it won't go ridiculously high even if it makes no sense, can be used on a small scale between people in far off places, love the idea, won't ever get past the underground designation, doesn't mean you can't profit huge off of it, I did last year.

I seem to remember that price fluctuations like the ones we had today were fairly normal a year ago. So... does that mean things are back to normal in bitcoinworld, and we shouldn't worry?  Grin
