Fully agree, and with the upcoming reward halving in summer 2016, I would expect a big pump in Sep - Dec this year !

OP, indeed the price has to follow up at some point. I knew that the investments were on the rise, but didn't imagine such numbers. I wonder what the total for 2015 will be.
It seems like a lot of big names are joining the party.
I believe this year we might see $1 billion of VC injected into Bitcoin's ecosystem.
