i predicted this when the bitcoin was around 2.30 now its at 2.90 Plus, mt. gox is making a major announcement in the next day or two. they wouldn't tell me what it was, but I believe you will be able to trade the bitcoin like you can with forex, on margin, etc.. so, I think it will really rise... depending on what mt. gox has up their sleeve. (maybe its when they are going to take everyones money and run, lol...
