The Colbert Report did a whole section on Bitcoin; this should move the demand in coming weeks:

Looks like Gox might be down for the moment. Guess we'll see if tomorrow allows this rally to continue.

Seems to be working OK here

Slush pool was under DDOS attack last 2 days and almost unable to mine. I wonder how likely it is for attackers to DDOS some major pools and meanwhile take over 50% of the bitcoin network computing power. Will be interesting to watch how bitcoin infrastructure will handle this. Bitcoin's popularity is getting some criminal minds to be very interested

How do they profit?

Following the money, isn't the only logical party to profit from a mining pool being DDOSed a rival mining pool?

I could believe that, but a mining pool wouldn't want to do a 50% attack.

Anyone who goes for a >%50 attack to profit is either very stupid (if they do it for more Bitcoins) or they are interested in destroying confidence and value in Bitcoin and thus profiting from driving interest into some other asset.

this

EDIT:

for a meaningful post; i believe bitcoin price is consolidating here around $100 and we may see stagnation or a small rise but no more falling. We'd see a higher rise if a more stable exchange/news/expectation of how/where people will buy bitcoins was established

Colbert report is out. Overall, interesting if mockingly funny presentation. Could've been worse. But hey, it's a comedy show and seen by millions so there may be some more transactions or interest in the coming days.

The current 100 wall is not even looking that impressive compared to the 80 wall.

2011 post bubble was one disaster after the next, everyone had to keep reminding themselves what counts is the protocol wasnt hacked, and their was a gr8 deal FUD that bitcoin was only useful for dealing drugs, and it really was just a fad... This scared off a lot of people when bitcoin was still trying to get some reasonable critical mass going (needless to say it really HURT bitcoin)... This time everything is just F'in dandy, so we'll have a U shaped recovery and then continue making new highs, it will pop AGAIN ( at 500? ) and then another U shaped recovery and continue making new highs! thats right people the dash for digital cash get ready... set... GO! Cool

Supreme bullish sentiment. Eh, there are still some people trying to say that the only thing you can use bitcoin now is for silk road and speculating, but they are mostly laughed at.

I love the market action, high volumes right after a huge crash, very exciting. Let's see how long the "lolstability" lasts...

Bid walls:
23k @ $70
18k @ $80

This is getting ridiculous.

Lots of people with a lot of money wanting to buy in. Looking at the last week, the buying pressure today, they're reasonable entry points.

That was very satisfying to watch

The BTC2k wall at $91 was put up and pulled at least 5 times. Obviously fake. And it was eaten before it could be pulled

Yup. Of the wall from 91-94, half got eaten, half got pulled.

Well that was sweet, 2,500 coins bought up nearly instantly. What little wall remained at $90 is now gone.

There was a 500+ buy right above my screenshot too. So maybe that 2K buy a couple posts above me was someone else?
