I agree, the metrics are lining up for another run. The question becomes will the government let it happen. I can't help but feel that they are trying to do to bitcoin what they've done to gold and silver. Paper trade it into a set range. It will be very interesting to see what comes of this when some important players realize what's happening. Especially since, unlike those paper markets, everything is transparent on the blockchain. Could get a mega-parabolic run next....
