"My re-entry price is now essentially fixed at $1250 regardless of how low the price goes"

Vinny Lingham shows commitment, i like that.

Although i'm involved in BTC for a year now, I'm quite a newbie.

Therefore my question might sound a little bit naive, but anyway:
Why is the price of BTC still rising, despite the threat of a hardfork & the heavy FUD/panic selling associated with this ?

Some influential people in the Bitcoin-Universe even seem to be excited about BU, because they think it's a good move to get rid of the bad elements.
