sodl oout bulls might start getting nervous soon ... not so much train leaving station but rocket blasts off unexpectedly.

This is where I am and haven't gotten my first btc yet...waiting on the verification. Scared it'll end up at 900 bucks by Monday or Tuesday when they finally hook me up. Grin

Curious about something if anyone here might know...I read somewhere in this forum something about the value of btc being coded in the math, that it can always be known how much it will be worth and how it will increase in value due to the code or whatever and that it's coded to increase exponentially. If that's knowable because of the code itself then why all the speculation?

I think you answered your own question... the value is obviously not in the code... the only related thing in the code is the block reward that is currently at 25 and will half in 2016 and continue to halve every 4 years until almost zero, which makes it a deflationary currency, which should theoretically increase the value over time.... in the long term.
