China is buying up lots of Bitcoin and they are going to dump it soon..!!

Point taken, we shall see.

I personally believe they buy as long term investing opportunity, but I might be wrong

Yesterady someone posted that maybe this UP rising price is due to huge buys of bitcoins from China...
It makes sense but is there anyway to confirm the origin of transactions (continent, country..) ?


Probably no, but look at BTCChina to draw your own conclusion

I'm surprised the price has gone up so much after the whole SR thing, I was expecting it to drop

It's like negative publicity only grows Bitcoin. After the bubble the price went from about 13 USD before the bubble to a minimum of 69 USD after it. But everyone was talking about the bubble in negative terms.

Since SR closed, it have gotten alot attention from the media, that might have given the BTC a little boost too.

It's because Avalon is selling new Bitcoin generating machines.
They only accept BTC as payment so this increases demand for BTC.
It happens every time Avalon auction kit, the previous $200 BTC was because of this also!

Do you really think that Avalon selling a few hundred BTC worth of miners really affects the value of BTC when the daily trading volume of BTC on exchanges is over 25,000 BTC?

Yes, because most of the volume is miner payments, gambling, speculation and free bitcoin dust.

Avalons are made in China, there is a big demand for them over there, it is a population of 1,400,000,000 (20% Earths Population).

They are offering a money printing machine but only accept payment in the money it prints meaning you gotta buy Bitcoins!

It is at least in part coming from China. But it is also true that good news abounds elsewhere. A lot of upward pressure on price.

But to mine something today, they had to buy expensive hardware, so they are more likely to not sell cheap, thus hold coins now.

If what you say actually happens, it probably doesn't happen very much, and it's effect would be insignificant because the amount of newly mined bitcoins is a small fraction of the entire supply.

Or how about this: the difficulty has gone up by a factor of 100 since ASICs came out and yet the price has gone up by a factor of only about 6. If difficulty has an effect on price, it certainly isn't much.
