Hey everybody. We would all like to think the price is up because new people are getting into bitcoin and fiat inflows are expanding as people can now see that the demise of gox did not kill bitcoin. However, when you go to blockchain.info and click on the largest transactions, you see that on 3/3 and 3/4 MASSIVE trading is going on. The bitcoin trading market is around $60 million, so when big players trade millions in bitcoin back and forth they are increasing the value of their own bitcoins and the value of ours as well. Might seem like a good thing, but makes me feel uneasy because it makes you wonder how much of the value is actually due to these big players and not average people.

I hate to burst your conspiracy bubble, but there is no reason to believe that those large transactions on the block chain are related to bitcoin trading. They are likely to be just an exchange moving its money around.
