The bears and PoS people would say that all 1.5 million were sold off on the exchanges right after being mined.

They also talk about how low the volume is.

So that would mean that a majority of the coins sold were from miners while most everyone else is buying and spending/holding.

I would say that a very good percentage of the bitcoin that has been mined over the last year were sold on the exchanges as the miners generally need to pay for their electric costs, this is the nature of PoW (and also why PoW will always work).

But i hope we have more than 1.500.000 new users for bitcoin world in this year.
That will make bitcoin price still in good rate

That's a lot of new users in this forum as well. Can the server deal with such an influx of new people and posts??

It should be fine as there are the constant users and the intermittent ones
Plus the bitcointalk slush fund is significant as we are preparing for the new forum software

But even if coin price is the same we now own part of a much larger and more powerful economy.

Which, even if it does fail for some yet unknown reason, will anyway forever remain as a significant part of human history, as the first baby steps of decentralized society.

Yet the price per coin is about the same.

So market cap is up ~15%. [Source : http://www.coindesk.com/data/bitcoin-market-capitalization/]

Looks fair to me.

Sentiment might take awhile to change, but change it will. We're working on building an economy here. Wink

Of course everyone wants to speculate on price because that determines the worth of our individual coins. But even if coin price is the same we now own part of a much larger and more powerful economy.
