If you zoom out, gold topped in 9/2011 while bitcoin bottomed in 11/2011. You know the rest.

I think this inverse correlation will strengthen with time. 

Pavlov training his dogs, when it works like clockwork  , then it doesn't. I recall seeing a similar correlation with the Dow before the last run up.

After reading a few articles about Thursday and Friday's PM actions, it looks like someone took a leaf out of the fed's books and placed a huge buy order (as opposed to the usual huge paper dump) and perhaps it took the big players by surprise. It certainly took them until Friday afternoon until they got the price back under some level of control. If google's shares suddenly spiked like that, almost no one would short it but PM markets don't work that way, for now at least. It's always fun to read the MSM and how the price settled because of "profit taking." Right. Either way, it feels like things are starting to get interesting again. BTC will probably be quiet until the Fibbies sell their stash so maybe next week will have some more fun gold and silver action.

Let's not forget that Matt has taken great personal career risk in pursuing Bitcoin as he has, imo. He'll never admit it, but it's true.

I've only been reading JT's stuff for 18 months or so but I've only ever heard him say positive things about bitcoin.

To be perfectly honest from an outside perspective looking in, you appear butthurt. Why is that? 

  My view still remains the same even after this ^ post.

Vitalik continues to go off the deep end to justify Ethereum's premine:

Yeesh. He's really taking advantage of the fear of GHash.io and the Bitcoin Foundation. Anything to preserve the precious premine.

To be fair, it's extremely rare for a person of his age to understand economics, even if they are geniuses in other areas. Not saying it can't be done, but it's rare. It's hard to see past the premine logic without some actual understanding of economics (I say "actual" because he seems to have studied economics, but economic thinking doesn't seem to come naturally to him).
