I didn't think bitcoin could be this volatile with the size of market cap it has now. I was wrong. It's going haywire right now!
Bigger market cap, but possibly fewer coins in the float, definitely 1/2 the new coins mined per block. Land Rush in progress. It's just that the train is over full, and can't make the grade, so it has to shake like a wet dog, and try again, with MORE STEAM.
