There has been strange behaviour on btc-e such as long bouts of an entity buying consistently 0.01 btc exactly 6sec aparts, probably a bot.
The strangest though is that sometimes for a few secs you suddenly have a buy order in the thousands of btc appearing and lasting for a few secs.
So there might be a whale operating / testing after all.
It is interesting that even if 30,000 NEW adopters a DAY will emerge then it is only 11,000,000 per YEAR ... ( and only 110 millions per 10 YEARS ... what is less than 2% of population )
You are looking at it the wrong way, addoption is exponential not linear. Once bitcoin appears more and more in the news and starts to go mainstream the rate of adoption will accelarate greatly.
As I am sure I dont need to remind you btc is still magic internet money that a few nerds are playing with.
I'm surprised
bitcoinmonitor.com isn't used by more people. Much more informative, and I prefer the presentation
Good one, thanks for the link.
