And that's pretty much it, people are holding a lot of it. Multi-training is up there too, it gets held onto, sold, held onto some more. CCP has said PLEX changes hands a couple times on avg. I don't think the avg player understands what's going on nor how it actually effects player online numbers factoring in the introduction of multi-training as well. Some of which I'm sure are bitter wow vets ashamed their game took a slump and see every game as on the ledge ready to jump off and die. Well here's hoping the next wow expansion brings back their flying mounts so they can stop their ragequitting and return to the only game that makes them heppy.

Short term thinking for a game that has been running this long is a bit odd. think its the opposite way around, people sub accounts instead of f2p so thats 9.99 extra for ccp instead of a carebear grinding for a month to buy a plex off the market, then people will buy plex for rl cash because of the amount of isk they will get. ccp will make more profit from this Wrong! People will stop plexing and either quit because too expensive or pay the 3 months/6months package from account management. Either way is bad because the rising plex prices is due to the rapid decline in subscribers and this is still summer. Makes you wonder what's gonna happen to eve when school starts. Someone is still buying the PLEX I buy off CCP with my credit card. There are still PLEX buy orders all over the place. This doomsday scenario you're suggesting is highly unlikely.
And also in that fanfest video I linked, at the time PLEX on Serenity was going for 3.5 Billion as mentioned in the video.
Ok, now let the whining commence 
<--- powered by actual dollars and sense ...er cents.

Either way is bad because the rising plex prices is due to the rapid decline in subscribers and this is still summer. Makes you wonder what's gonna happen to eve when school starts. Do you have any actual numbers on that decline? And have you taken into account the regular player activity behaviour during summer and early autumn?
Also keep in mind the bulk of the playerbase is in their 30's here. Some 60% I think it was. 10-15% in their 40's. ~25% in their 20's. A large percentage of players according to CCP are into tech, computer related, IT jobs. Why does it matter when school starts? So wrong on so many things, Dan.

Could be, if the world economies takes a sudden downturn beyond what it is now. Well, or more like crashes. It's taken a number of years to get from 200m to 1b, something pretty significant could drive it up fast though. Like, what if all the nuts are right and a 2.5mile asteroid does hit Puerto Rico in 7 to 15 days as they predict... lol, that would send world markets into turmoil and maybe all there would be left is PLEX rotting in players item hangers. Of course no one could connect to the interwebs anyway, but besides the point hehe

Source?
At least for Jita, looks like two on the market for every one sold. A lot more being sold the past couple weeks as well (oh no! EVE isn't dying??!?). Certainly there is no shortage of PLEX in item hangers, since CCP did state last year at fanfest that on avg a PLEX gets traded 2 or 3 times before being used. So, people buy it off the market and sit on it for a while as they wait for prices to go up enough. Yes, the "not enough exists" argument is totally bogus and neophyte EVE market understanding. The only reason it's selling at 1.19b right now and rising, is because traders want it to go up. It's an easy bet, really, compared to faster ISK trading other things that can also lose.
