This blokes obviously just changed his bitcoins into real money http://www.bangkokpost.com/breakingnews ... 0000-bills
Price rebounding strongly! $US 650 and rising. It does really look like Bitcoins are here to stay for the long-term and the price probably won't collapse to zero any time soon.

I'm sticking with my life expectancy for Bitcoins posted earlier.
Bit coin is the 'wild west' of currency it seems

The article is getting a lot of stick:

I would take the article with a grain of salt. This is Newsweek after all. It's possible that this is the real creator of Bitcoin but I don't find it at all convincing. Much more likely, the name 'Satoshi Nakomoto' is just a nom de plume ( it is the equivalent of 'John Smith' in Japan)andyfuller wrote:The article is getting a lot of stick:

If anything Bitcoin has been very entertaining. There is probably more money made talking about it and seeing things related to it than itself.

Charts show a fairly sustained one-way downward trend over the last 3 months. The price of Bitcoins is now down below $US 400.
It looks like the bears were right...the thinking is the price is going to crash to some floor that is below $US 100 and not rise again:

Now that the hype has worn off, Bitcoins are just seen as a particular type of digital payment system, and the price is moving towards its 'fair value' (i.e. $US 100 or less).
