And now, we resume our regularly scheduled uptrend... already in progress.

So true, I admit I was super nervous when the down trend wont stop. Seeing it recover, I now really think that what were experiencing is a healthy dip. Its now being affected by economic tides so that is awesome. I hope the bitcoin futures would really help legitimize the currency and we hit another record high as we wnter the new years.
Clearly many took advantage of the dip.
