There isn't really any news to have an effect on bitcoin so I doubt that that's the reason of the bitcoin value going up.
I'm just happy that it's going up, I would be happy if it went either way though.
You don't think it's going up at least in part by the whole "Satoshi" hype? I would think it's bringing interest into bitcoin.
That Satoshi hype has nothing to do with all the happenings today in the price even at small percentage. It's all because of cheap price rumors that maybe we will only see in this year because price may reach high next year due to halving. People buying more coins now that increase the demand rates thats why price jumps as what of as it today and not just a manipulator move last rally that bring 400 to 500 in just a matter of hours.
