The rise of BTCD could be a number of factors I see a few people on here asking to trade BTCD for BTC out right as to not spook the exchanges upward. I think these same people wanting to become BTCD whales are now forced to buy from the exchanges so this may be temporary. Or traders are pumping BTCD for their own gain as they see how BTCD is a part of WAVES and how far jl777 has gone to develop this coin as well as other pet projects. Time will tell if these prices stick we could go up to $2.00+ or to the moon. Or the price could slump all the way down to $0.67 like it was some months back.
