Some whale(s) is/are just trying to get more coins, but soon they realize it's no longer possible at these prices. Maybe in $300, $500 or $1000 they have better chance...

And turns out yesterday was actually bigger than post silk road.
We might be going down/sidways over the next few days... but next week will be ridiculous.


It takes 2 to 4 weeks for a newcomer to learn about bitcoin, set up a Verified account and wire funds.
IMO the recent good news, press coverage and anticipation of new money is already reflected in the price.

Actually, I would think that all those people who are checking out Bitcoin on wikipedia are in the first days of the 2-4 week process. Many won't be buying, but those that eventually will are nowhere near ready.  

Why is this happening now?

Norwegian story of $22 in BTC forgotten from 2009, buying apartment, Robocoin ATM, hedge fund interest, CCTV and RT general coverage. All recent.

I don't know but it's fun isn't it Smiley

The market movements appear to be getting more and more unpredictable to me, especially seeing as we have a much healthier balance of exchange volumes where any one of them could be taking the lead on a move.  I therefore find it harder even to correlate a movement with news/new service events let alone to assign causation.  So I do find it amusing that some here insist with such certainty what is the cause of what Smiley

Not trying to teach my grandmother to suck eggs rpietila but did you ever see the quirky BBC tv programme called QI with Stephen Fry?  They put in some questions to which there is no known answer - and if somebody spots it the screen shows a massive:

?

....and the big booming voice says:

NOBODY KNOWS!

I think of this often these days when someone asks why a market move is happening Smiley

Edit:  I just realised after posting you're asking not why the market is moving as it is but why the wikipedia hit explosion! Ah well.   My answer therefore does not refer to your post at all but I'll leave it there because I like it Smiley

Bulls are getting brazen up in here. I just want to see a reversal now so it wipes some of the smugness off these faces.

Considering BTC increases have been at orders of magnitude, I don't think there's anything brazen or smug about expecting 200 to hold up.

This is what everyone was saying in the few days prior to April 10th this year.

up, uP, UP  Roll Eyes

I don't think superstition helps to predict price movement (& not everyone was saying we were continuing up). I agree with professor.

Also, every day we bounce around $200 solidifies the next move upwards. April 2013 is long gone, this is a new scenario.
