That said, on topic- The conference is probably going to stoke some enthusiasm, however I hope that we don't see any insane price explosion that then becomes unsustainable.

Any boobs in the story?

hello everybody
as I am very busy lately I can't follow developments
so, one question;
is there any known reasons for this rise in price?

1) WebMoney adopts bitcoin
2) PayPal founders get into bitcoin
3) Return to upward trend before Dwolla news came out, we were at $119 testing 120 back then.
4) Bitcoin conference
And probably more reasons I'm not thinking about right now.

Bitcoin is fucking awesome! DHS fucking sucks! Booya!
People worried MtGox was going to get nuked, turns out it was just the Dwolla account. Turns out MtGox is incompetent, that's not news. We were headed for $120 before that, took 3-4 days to get back on track. We're only up $4 pre-DHS bullshit. It's not that much of a move.
In the meantime we've had a ton of good news,
1.5M Winklevoss Capital
WebMoney intergrates Bitcoins
BitPay Raises $2 Million led by Founders Fund
We should probably be at $130 if we hadn't been Goxed.

It's in "funding options" ---> "Withdraw funds"

If it were not for the bitcoin conference this weekend, I would expect some sort of consolidation after the breakouts at $116 and the big one at $120.
I'm pretty sure the conference won't affect the price much.
Those going are already in Bitcoin.

EFF accepting BTC is pretty major. Even though they're careful to distance themselves from endorsing or supporting the currency, this is definitely the first stage to having them as a defender in the case of a legislative assault on Bitcoin.

Two years ago, EFF decided to stop taking Bitcoins for a number of reasons and returned the coins to the community via the Bitcoin faucet and promised to investigate further.
Damn. They probably could have funded 1000 lawsuits against Big Brother had they taken a shot back then.

Our research and FinCEN’s guidance removed a key risk to EFF. Both our internal research and the recent report by FinCEN2 have confirmed that, as a user of Bitcoin or any virtual currency, EFF itself is likely not subject to regulation. While some have raised concerns about the FinCEN ruling, and noted that it’s not binding, it did confirm our own analysis of risk to us as a user and reduced our concerns that by accepting Bitcoins EFF risked moving away from its role as a defender of innovators and into the role as a possible defendant.

The server at mtgox.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed

With respect to Bitcoin as a technology, there is clearly a lot more to be said. Currently it seems that Bitcoin, while innovative, has a number of limitations and weaknesses in its design, and might yet turn out to be just the first draft for future crypto-currencies. However, as an organization that supports cryptographic experimentation, we believe the best answer to Bitcoin's potential shortcomings is for others to come along and offer superior alternatives.

Is this real life? First Humble Bundle, now EFF.
