I know you weren't asking me, BUT: Bitcoins are fluctuating but up overall. Even since Silkroad was gone. Every market that goes down, an new one comes up. There's just the right amount of demand for it. BUT, I also think that coins are going up because of speculation. If they go UP because of the fork there might be a pull-back.

@wolfsheed, Thanks for the reply i can see what you mean and yes i agree but i dont think it will go up becauyse of the fork i think it will go down if anything as people will loose confidence in BTC

Yes, splits always mean a decline in value, but can often rebound by quite a bit. Look at historical splits like google. Whether confidence goes down depends on how bullish the market is.

Let's face it. A lot of altcoins are running on optimism alone. I really want bitcoin to succeed. A winemaker I know once said, "Whenever someone opens a winery in {this province}, I sell more wine"
