Bitcoin production is supposed to be about 7200 coins per day, which at $13.75/BTC is currently $99,000. So, right now, it takes about $100,000 a day in new money to keep the price of Bitcoins stable.

We just saw this on the 4th of July. No one was putting much new money into the markets, since it's a US bank holiday, and the price dropped from $15 to $13. The "weekend slump" has been mentioned previously. But it's not because people aren't trading - that's symmetrical. It's because they're not depositing new cash.

How long will the supply of suckers able to collectively put in $100,000 a day hold out?

Thats not a lot.  Even a small cap company has bigger sales.

You never know.  If next week PokerStars announces bitcoin poker, we'll very possibly have a revolving door of money somewhat permanently.
