It’s funny you should mention that, because just about the time of the collapse a bunch of posters on the Something Awful thread mocking bitcoins decided to see if they could crash the market by posting SELL SELL SELL messages on various discussion boards. From the posts there they think it’s coincidence though- the crash was caused by a single big seller.
Clearly, the market is responding to people questioning its efficacy on Less Wrong. :P
Are you buying bitcoins? Expected utility is in the multiple tens of dollars if you believe that.

I’m mining. And my utility is not uniform over my money. Money now is significantly more valuable than money will be once I graduate college.
If I had more disposable income I would have bought some directly.
I’m curious, are you still mining? Also, are you living in a dorm with fixed electricity cost?
mining was unprofitable for a long while until just recently with the price recovery. mining now is worth it for the free heating.
