The future of Bitcoin is bright either way, BUcoin HF or not. I'm using every possibility to increase my Bitcoin stash, the cheaper the better!
Something strange is happening. Btc-e moved up to second place for USD volume, and it's price is $10 higher than bitfinex's, which is itself $10 higher than bitstamp's. Somebody's increasing their Bitcoin stash on btc-e.
More likely it's just not being used to increase the increasing artificial short float
