I happened to notice that the number of new wallets jumped in the past two weeks from about 50K to 80K.

does anyone know why this might be?

Someone trying to influence the exchange rate knowing that big a rise in these types of metrics tend to pull the price up as well?

One source of (legitimate) new users are from:
- http://nzbsrus.com <--- PayPal kicked them out, so now the only way its customers can subscribe is using a bitcoin.

This is not an insignificant number of subscribers.
