It's funny that so many forum members get excited when they revalue their bitcoin holdings in the depreciating currency they loathe.

I'm just sad because this is my "speculation" money. I don't ever plan to withdraw any USD out of mtgox.com, but I'm happy to sell it to people who are looking to buy into the bitcoin economy. Even if I end up paying far over what I sold to repurchase my BTC, I'll be buying them back eventually.

Now I wish I hadn't put in that "sell" order at .95. But it seemed so high compared to where we were...

Now you have chance to buy it again on the same or very similar price Smiley.

it would be more accurate to value it in bitcoin -> 100% accurate  Wink
seriously, you dont count your dollars in gold. when you have 3000$ you just think "thats quite a bunch of money" not "thats 100g of gold" or something like that.



But you do value your dollars in their trade value.  Said another way, you value your dollars in what you can trade it for.  You could be valuing it in the dollars/beer-can metric or the dollars/hooker-blowjob metric or the dollars/pot-ounce metric; but we always value anything as compared to other things, not itself.

I don't think all of us loathe the USD. I use bitcoin because it's cool and convenient, not because I'm at war against the current economic system.

It's what we deal with everyday, so it's kind of natural.  But you are right, it would be more accurate to value bitcoins in gold.

Or maybe it was the right time for a big rally.

Lots of rich, young internet poker players were also recently introduced to Bitcoin, plus some traders and quants who frequent the same forum.

Wasn't there a post of someone wanting to buy like 100000 BTC and was redirected to MtGox?

That would explain this.

Anyone know what has generated so much buying interest in the past four days?  And today is looking to become the highest volume day in the last several months.  Have there been any major news articles about BitCoin coming out lately?
