The high is a huge emotional pain point for many early adopters. We could see some serious pullbacks each time the battering ram swings toward $32, but the more heaves and hoes we see, the greater the gush of euphoria is going to be once we bust through that psychological wall.

Long term (over the next few weeks/months) it should all even out as we continue the organic exponential growth path of 2013.

I would think the pain would be "Damn why did I sell?"... Those people should already be sold out.

Yeah, I'm sure that plenty of people who thought we were near the top of the "bubble" and were planning on selling at $32 were just fine with selling at $29 or $28 when it dipped.

It's acutally somehow provable, look at that steep peak in June 2011: http://blockchain.info/charts/bitcoin-days-destroyed-min-year?timespan=all&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=

Too bad I couldn't find the days destroyed script, if we replace the "unspent time" factor with its power function, we could have a better idea of the early adopters' cashout activities.

Yeah, I know, but I prefer the word "liquidate" for two reasons:

1. Over time bitcoin will become a more "liquid" currency than fiats Wink
2.Over time that part of shithole history of bitcoin should become relevant no more.

I know the assassination market comment up there near the top was in some if not most ways a joke, but I just had a rather chilling thought about the boom the assassination market worldwide stands to have as the market cap of bitcoin rises. *shudder*

If you give a stranger an irreversible, pseudoanonymous payment method to kill someone, you are being scammed.  People who actually do shit like that don't deal with strangers.

this is why you can never blame early adopters for being early.

Bitcoin becomes like Umbrella corporation, and some time in the near future releases the variation of T-virus, but instead of human flash and brains, everyone who turns zombie will run for bitcoins Cheesy. What do you think will happen? Nothing special, many have adopted it, it will slowly rise more

We will see another high above $200 and fall to $60 :-) or safe rise to $90 ?  (this year)

Everyone here is all too optimistic
You are true :-). I'm just starting and heard about bitcoin 2 month ago. :-)

Good point, it's actually a part of Bitcoin's "past" which should be buried.

Once we break $31.91 I think we should use betsofbitcoin or bitbet or some such platform to put up an assassination market style wager...

Let's get Benjamin Wallace kicked in the nuts!

Following his logic, he must now write a new article called: "The Rise and Fall and Rise of Bitcoin"

So, the same journalists that wrote 'bitcoin is dead' will now write 'bitcoin to new heights' ?

Or will we actually see good pieces of journalism where somebody does proper researching and sees where bitcoin fits into our world, and how it helps bring economic freedom to people, how it will be easier to do transactions internationally etc. It's kind of a joke these days that a bank transfer takes days. Bitcoin is instant, and for merchants non-reversible. Plus, there's so many great things happening for bitcoin these days. Seems like the growth of bitcoin is a natural evolution in an existing inefficient market.

Sure, any PR is good PR, right ?

I am sure there will be a lot press and then some people who "forgot" bitcoin will remember it again.
