I learned recently that I have a relative who raided his family's savings to speculate on bitcoins. Apparently he made at least some profit off of it.

there is a machine at a place near me where you can put in a bitcoin and 25c and it makes your bitcoin shaped like a football w/ the patriots logo stamped on it

Someone I know was bragging on Saturday that he had made money already in the hours since they had spent a few grand on bitcoins.

I was in a GTA:O lobby where a guy was handing out bit¢oin$ and I was able to transfer to not only buy a new Adder with Apache rims, but also invested in 90 shares of Slappt, a new app that finds other bit¢oin$ users in the area and links them to your profile. Did that for about two hours before Slappt got bought out by Zynga for half its stock price, bit¢oin$ value dropped 50 percent and I got hit with a cheater's penalty and placed in the Bad Sport lobby of GTA:O. Kept my Adder, but my Ratloader's gone.

I don't think that graph was made w/r/t bitcoin, rather H4A is just pointing out that the trajectory matches whatever that graph was made to depict

This is a good piece.
I had a kind of revelation about Bitcoin that it is actually DESIGNED to create a speculative "bubble", in fact, it needs one or else it can never take off, which is not to say that I think it's going to take off, just that I think the "tulip mania" articles are kind of simplistic and point-missing. If it worked as it were supposed to, I realized, it would basically HAVE to rise massively in value until the total market cap of bitcoin reached an actually useful level for a "currency" or "value store" or whatever the hell you want to call it. Much in the same way that oil needed oil manias to become an industry, bitcoin needs bitcoin mania.

Interesting point. It comes down to network effects being crucial to making bit coin in any way useful, the problem with the mania so far is that it's been about mining and hoarding rather than creating a transaction ecosystem. Money needs to have velocity to have value, at the moment it feels like it is just shiny rocks.
I'm waiting for the day when Satoshi is revealed to be an economics professor with a sense of humour.
