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.
Hype? You mean the imposter who calls himself out to be satoshi? Maybe it has something to do with that but I don't think that should have an big impact on bitcoin
