btw
"A rise in the number of bitcoin transactions, which would perhaps indicate greater commercial use and demand for bitcoin, could explain a bitcoin price increase." same applies here or anywhere (smooth emission only helps the process)
at some point speculation will cease and real world begin. in general an advice because your are friendly bunch, invest where there is even slight potential for commerce (surprisingly many coins are not! and will stagnate no matter what algorithm is used even X100)

*this one* I am most interested in
http://qcn.cryptostats.org/charts/transactionsbecause it is heading lower (high velocity if measured in scale) expecting to see price to drop (short term) more as well as difficulty (please do your own analysis and risk assumptions.. investing although I am confident. is a tricky business) it could easily reverse
volume too:
http://qcn.cryptostats.org/charts/volume wish this type of block explorer was done for other crypto.. whoever did this.. huge appreciations.. excellent job very professional!
difficulty is sliding downwards , maybe towards even 20,000 which would be excellent (suspended rig for the time being to save CPU burnout.. CPU's do burn in time...)
Difficulty:71,545,980 ... 3:20 PM EST ... good from the entry point of view it will go much lower than that.. *to the point* then back up
so much for botnet theory: Difficulty:69,946,859
