The number of bitcoin transactions per day has remained roughly constant since February. The price of Bitcoins however, has risen by 1000%.

Do you have any evidence to suggest that people are actually using Bitcoins? Because the hard evidence I've got seems makes it seem like Bitcoins are getting traded like crazy, but not necessarily used.

For one example, BitPay is doing quite well:

And my statistics include all of BitPay's transactions, since every bitcoin transaction has already been included in my graph.

Bitpay may be growing, but Bitcoins in general are not.
