    “per month must enter the bitcoin economy. ” You are still singing the same tune. Why are you such a bear for bitcoins? You looking to buy cheap? You have shown no data that newly mined coins are always sold.

    The equivent of what you are saying is that in the run up to $35, for it to have happened it would require that $210,000,000 entered the bitcoin economy. And that isnt true either. But if you stay with your calculations…since $210,000,000 was the amount it went up, when only about $12,000,000 actually entered the economy, then by that ratio we only need about $60,000 to enter the bitcoin economy per month for prices to maintain. That is a more fact based number then what you suggest.
