Is it possible for us to work together to get the price back up to about 15-30?
Legally that is.
Sure, buy Bitcoins. But why do you want it that high?
If it's to be able to sell Bitcoins, you're going to have a hard time convincing people that they should buy against market sentiment (IE, they lose money) so you can make a profit.
If it's because you think that Bitcoin will be perceived better if the people who bought high make their money back, feel free to bid it up, but understand that you're going to be losing money the whole time you do it. It's a nice enough cause, but IMO a foolish one - I think the market is healthiest when supported by fundamentals, which I believe is currently well under a buck.
I just liked it higher from a financial standpoint on my end. But why is that though? Why have it lower?
1) I do not want to reward the foolish speculators who have run the price up without any regard to economic reality.
2) I believe Bitcoin will be more stable when supported by fundamentals rather than price manipulation.
3) We collectively pay miners 7200 BTC per day to secure the network. At $3, that's over $20,000 per day. At $30, that's $200,000 per day. That money has to come from somewhere - and if you're the one manipulating the market to keep it that high, you're the one who ends up paying for it. Unless you have a really good reason why the price needs to be that high, that's wasted money. (A price boom creates a mining boom, which creates a hashrate boom until mining profits reach about current levels; once it settles out most of that $200,000/day gets spent on electricity.) The current level of economic activity does not justify that level of blockchain security.
