I've been watching the price since Wednesday and its barely moved. Could we be about to go through a uber-boring period where there a more coins being mined so inflation is increasing but the actual price remains solid?
I guess we may find out by the time this weekend is up.
There's never more coins being mined... small variances, but it always corrects itself to 7200 coins/day, and averages out to about that amount even including the variances.
