How sustainable is this though? Are there any analyses out there about this crazy rise in bitcoin value?

I would like to hear some good arguments to persuade me this isn't a self-reinforcing bubble with nothing at the end of it except a loud 'pop'...

Every time I go to Mt Gox to see that the price has significantly risen from the previous day, I say to myself, "this is insane."

Every time I go there, I think "why does it take so long to move money into Mt Gox?"

If it wasn't for the attack on Gox we would have stayed at +$4 for the previous week

Thank god they have made enough money by now to mitigate the DDOS attacks. Those things aren't cheap.

I unfortunately imagine that DDOS attacks will become one of the massive barriers to entry of any bitcoin service provider.

Indeed a huge pain in the ass. I wonder if Bitcoin will manage to get huge without some sort of p2p exchange

The incentive for more exchanges is going every day now.

Just made it to '$8'!!!

New High: $6.065/BTC
My "slam-dunk" of a prediction came true, new record highs two days in a row! Grin

...and I get this excited without owning a single whole Bitcoin.

Wow, nice move today (just now) someone didn't learn we need kinder, gentler rallies. Cheesy

Greed and Fear rule the markets!
Won't people ever learn to calm down?

The next few days should be pretty exciting. Shocked
