Yea seems realistic. Also much depends on september announcement. Price can either tank or shoot to the moon. Wink

Gavin has always been speaking of the stability of bitcoin protocol/system and not the price.

I doubt Gavin's announcement has a direct relation to the price of bitcoins.

September has to do with cashing out, which should help keep the price from rising too fast.

Ultimately a long term higher price is desired by Gavin and most of us.

Hence I don't think he will want the price to crash. But that's just my take.

Making it easier to cash out won't crash the price unless you assume the only reason the price is so high is difficulty in cashing out.  Making it easier to get fiat for bitcoin will increase the usefulness of bitcoin, thus supporting price, but in a sane manner.

Gavin running "full-time" suggests his vision is "long-term".



I know many people here do, but I don't usually make strong statements when I'm guessing Wink.  But keep up the speculations.  It's amusing me.

It's about the new forum software, stop pretending you haven't heard of it.
why would he publicize something about the forum software in an interview, like anyone gives a crap about that. Im sure its more substantial than that!

Then I guess that software will be pretty substantial, I haven't said it is just a forum... If you read on what they asked for in the bounty thread and what this community needs you can estimate it's features.
My guess is the platform will bring some commerce related features like a rating system.

or if he found a way to shrink the block chain. This seems to be a concern of many for longterm bitcoin. I doubt it would affect the price much in the shortterm though.

They said it has nothing to do with the code.
wow. now I'm intrigued!

It depends on the news. If he say for example that bitcoin will have legal recognition by some institution(s), price will move.
