We've got a 21.75 incher.  Clear trend imo.

it reached late 400's after the all-time high though... maybe not in the past 2 or 3 days, but it definitely happened.

lol at all the head-scratching, bitcoin never fails to entertain.

Some whale is algo-trading to maintain the price. Whether or not he was responsible for the jump at $450 I have no idea, but this is just complete nonsense.

up/down 10% in one day, for no particular reason.    

many are also expecting a rise

Just look at the pattern over the past week...

Because the price is being manipulated as it is so easy to do. For example, banks can buy as many coins as they want because of their ability to leverage (print money). They can always maintain enough of the coin percentage to have control over the exchanges, and thus the Bitcoin price.

All of a sudden i get a feeling that it's only a handful of people with shitloads of coins battling it out between each other, and everyone else is just on a sidelines watching.

Kudos to the bull whale it takes balls to drop $4.8MM like that

i guess the investment pro´s had a hard time figuring out what this fkn "k" stands for
