Been a while since I've posted but here is what I know: Gold & Silver. A lot of people who trade commodities are actually moving portions of their investments into Bitcoins. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if there are a lot of Chinese buying Bitcoins but the few people I know around the world are from the commodities market. For IP address or locations? No clue. Wish I could help you there but I'm not sure.

I would say we have a bit of a ways to go before the big boys come into play from the stock market. They're going to be looking for more stability which Bitcoin doesn't offer yet. I think we'll see a progressive transition of portfolio diversification to account for newer currencies. So we might see something like: -10% Cryptocurrency -25% Commodity -10% Bonds -55% Stocks/Money Market ^very rough example.

Disclaimer: I'm not in Bitcoins but watch the charts throughout the day. Just my speculation of what is happening based on the grape vine.
