Well, maybe [ mini-bubble ] is not the right technical term. I mean the one that started on May/20, at ~450 USD/BTC, and is still going on.

Fair enough, my techincal term would be an increase in value but you know, whatever perspective you look at it from Wink

OK, I used 'mini-bubble' because the onset was sudden and the rise was fairly fast (450 to 680, or 1.5x, in 10 days), but not as fast as the 'November bubble' (from 200 to 1200, or 6x, in 28 days).

thats not a bubble, that was the bottom.

The bottom (after the all-time high) was ~350 USD/BTC, on April 11.

No, just CNY, BTC and LTC.

CNY? Not CNH? (AFAIK it is the same currency, but called CNH when traded "offshore"; I suppose that there are barriers to limit flow between mainland and Hong Kong, is this so?)

In my thinking your comments are misleading b/c you are projecting the future, as if BTC prices are going to be on a continuous downward projection from December 2013 and thereafter.

None of us know the future of BTC prices, even though we are making bets and predictions accordingly.

You seem to consider your obligation to come into this party with a preconceived agenda in order to attempt to push and/or propagandize in the direction that you want BTC prices to go (which is down, from your preference point). You attempt to mask your bias in terms of reasonableness and objectivity, which confuses and deceives some people into believing you. It is too bad that you believe that you are bringing good to the world through your seemingly disingenuous representations.

Some people label you as a good troll, which I believe is giving you too much credit, as if you may have some good intentions, when in fact your more basic intentions seem to be to spread disinformation and to create FUD and distraction(s), and even if you believe you are bringing good to the world (or even dissuading a few investors from bitcoin), ultimately, likely you are NOT providing much if any service b/c of the fact that you knowingly provide disinformation in your attempt(s) to achieve your objectives and to propagandize with your negative projections regarding bitcoin.

One good thing is that bitcoin seems to have a very decent chance of succeeding for many years, despite your efforts (and the efforts of like-minded people to undermine it). The innovative aspects of bitcoin are out of the bag and have already irreversibly changed the course of history, and more is very likely to come (absent some catastrophic event), either through bitcoin or through some other crypto(s) that will serve very similar purposes as bitcoin...
