I'll just leave this here:
orly,your sure its not the bear trap of in the institutional investor stage?
bears ran out of arguments or what?
at basis this chart is perhaps good but it doesn't reflect the different circumstances of btc.
We are not even nearly in public phase. Institutional investors?
ehm not really, winklevoss twins are trying to be one perhaps?
If there are any other big players they haven't thrown out their name in the media until now.
more will come after regulations and problems with banks are figured out, everything is blurred by these subjects.
this chart relys solely on data from stockmarkets or am i wrong?
everytime i speak to people on partys or somewhere else nobody has heard nearly anything about virtual currencies.
(some tech-savvy people read about it but most didn't feel like getting into it)
people in this forum need to realize that they got so used to bitcoins everyday in their small bubble they forget that we still represent a minority
and perhaps not more than 1 of 10000 people of society has even heard of it. (don't quote me on that, i've never seen any statistics)
awareness will rise when fiat value will become more questionable or more crisis occur. john doe can't be forced to his luck, he must learn the hard way.
in combination with the phases this chart is used way too early.
Just believe it, we still represent the smart money!
