> BTC/USD alone has done $3 billion today.

Given those figures come from the completely unregulated, unaudited, incredibly sketchy exchanges themselves, I would take that with a huge grain of salt. Odds are good a vast majority of that $3 billion is trades using funny money or, for all you know, made up out of thin air. Easy to just trade with yourself all day...
