what makes us think, that the btc price stabilization is around the corner to see? I am tempted to think that it will continue rise into the thousands'... just to f*ck with me personally.... :/
Because people like to take profits. The price has tripled in about three weeks, it has to pull back at some point.
Re devcoin - yes, I meant billions :-)
Devcoin has actually made a lot of progress in the last six months - there is an ongoing experiment with monetising devtome, there are now new places to spend the coins that didn't exist before. What we really need is unthinkingbit to get interviewed on "lets talk bitcoin" about why devcoin is perfect for microtransactions (v low transaction fee in dollar terms compared to all other alts and bitcoin) and generally get the existence of the coin out there. Then we'll get new buyers.
It would help if some of the scam alts died. I understand back in 2012 there were concerted attempts to kill coins (successfully), but that seems to have died and there are now too many alts with no point to most of them beyond mining and pumping.
