Huge Buy Of Nearly 4000 Bitcoins on Mt. Gox Drives BTC Price Higher
If you've been watching the charts today, you may or may not have noticed a spike this morning that drove the price of Bitcoin past the $255 mark at Mt. Gox.

Most merchants who adopt Bitcoin do not keep the bitcoins they earn but instead sell them for dollars on exchanges immediately using payment processing services such as BitPay. Consequently, the merchant creates selling pressure at the exchange, which drives the price down.
