This btc value raise doesn't mean anything, the outcome is still as uncertain as it was when it was below 1000$. It might be a mini pump to make people believe ( especially some btc holders ) things are okay now.
Also this confirms what i told @iamnotback ( about a potential pump & dump war between BU and core after split, etc eth style ), roger ver said he would dump coins on core chain. Obviously after that he will try to pump it in a flippening attempt, something similar to what chandler and shilbert tried with ETC.
