"You need some form of dynamic allocation construct (malloc ornew or cons will do) and either recursive functions or some other way of writing an infinite loop. If you have those and can do anything at all interesting, you're almost certainly Turing-complete." -- http://stackoverflow.com/a/449170
It's increasing Bitcoin popularity in China, I suspect. And 81% of Bitcoin exchange volume is already in CNY (average for last 30 days). I'm guessing that the price will stay in the 420-450 USD range.
You can't rely on the self-reported volume figures from Chinese bitcoin exchanges. They are zero fee exchanges so it's very easy to inflate volume and there are many indications that that is exactly what they do.
OK, thanks. I have heard that before, now that you say so. Are there any credible estimates of how inflated they are? Is there any way to check against the blockchain?
Also, what's the incentive for inflating volume? Promotion?

She was lucky to be young enough to foster and adopt, have an unusual amount of self awareness and someone in her life that would step in to act as the foundation and example for her life as an adult. Missing even one of those and who knows how it would have turned out for her.
