I don't know about that.  I don't think we'll see such a gradual incline.  I think it will be an explosive jump in price followed by another gradual decline.  That just seems to be the basic trend.  I think what we're seeing right now are modest panic buying of a few new entrants to the bitcoin market.  There is a storm brewing and it will get political and corporate attention and I think it could be led by the same people behind movements like occupy Wall Street.
