Just took a look at bitcoincharts under "markets" - where is the volume? It has completely disappeared. Bitstamp, the go-to exchange, is only averaging around 8300 in btc per day average. btc-e and bitfinex add a combined similar amount. Wow!! btcchina at less than 3000 per day! Maybe this isn't that unusual, but I would think extended low volume is not good.
What happens when the miners, who mine 3600 new btc every day, start to sell?
Miners rather keep it. There is no interest for miners to sell and affect price down . Miners are guys whom believe in the concept enough t invest in the mining gear.
I thing Few rich Guys from wall street, whom like to get a deal are bluffing in the main stream news. I read it like good sign.
