so true .... oth i see a stable growth pattern if one neglects may-nov 2011, aka as the 2011 btc hype episode.
So the exptrapolation is over the steady periods only, of about 1.8 year.


The recent rise form 7 to 11 usd is a bit too quick , as I see it, so we may see a drop back.  Also mark that the recent 7 to 11 rise is not that noticeable on the scale of the forecast graph. 

And then the number of coins will drop from 50 to 25 per mined block coming December...

I'll come back here in exactly 12 months and we'll all see !
