Meh, after such a big catte bounce the prizes tend to stay fairly stable for a few days, usually long enough for any +10% movement to produce exited cries of "to the moon!" from the believers. My guess is that this time it will stay in the 180 zone until the weekend.

They were complete incompetent fools, I mean, more than the others

It would be awesome to know, for each party in a transaction, the level of investment in BTC. Like if blockchain.info also reported the size of the wallets for each party beside the transaction amount. That would go a long way toward my hypothesis that it's either launderers (drugs) or true believers that bought in early who are propping up the price. 170-180 seems to be the floor today.

unfortunately many individual users have dozens or hundreds of addresses because Reasons (especially money launderers for Actual Reasons) so that might not be possible to know.

You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

For all of you smoking bitcoiners, here is a chance to mix your passions. (bitcointalk.org)

"Monica" - Wooden Bitcoin Water Pipe

Material: Grade AAA Purpleheart
Price: $195 (plus shipping)

"Monica" is carved from the highest grade Purpleheart wood a person can ever get their hands on. This high grade Purpleheart only comes from the top 3 or 4 feet of trees that exceed 160 foot tall and contains the highest resin concentration of Purpleheart wood which leads it to turning the deepest "crown royal" purple color you will ever find.

Standing a commanding 15.5" tall and a large 3.75 inches round at her widest point, Monica commands attention in any room with her deep purple color and gold accented bitcoin carving. Monica comes with a stem ready for any 18mm sized bowl (Bowl Not Included) and is lined with a proprietary coating which makes her waterproof. Monica has a double reverse cone chamber which ensures smooth flow clean smoke and a tapered tube that guarantees a strong puff with each hit.

As with all wooden water pipes, even though they are water proof, it is not recommended to store your pipe with water in it. The acids in tap water can cause corrosion over time and eat away at your waterproof finish. Although they will hold purified clean water for hundreds of years, the same does not hold true for water that has impurities such as calcium, lime, chlorine, fluoride, and other acidic particles. It is best to empty Monica after each use.

The Purpleheart wood and gold for the carved inlay cost more than what i am asking for Monica. She was originally an $1,100 piece commissioned for a client but after drying and curing she got a very very slight warp on her bottom which causes her to sit about 3 degrees off center when on a flat table. Without taking measuring tools you will never notice the slight lean to her, but as an artist and a perfectionist i cannot sell a piece for $1,100 that is not 1,000% perfect so i am selling Monica and making a new piece for my client. Besides the very very slight lean, Monica is otherwise a perfect and beautiful piece sure to be a conversation piece for decades to come.
