and still does not stop surprising us. It has been very marked the rise in the last month could be the result that it has become more popular and reliable for users. so it still has to climb
More reliable? No. More popular? Yes. Also: Bitcoin Gold hardfork drawing altcoin money into Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is sucking the money out of altcoins due to regular hard forks that gives people free money from the new forked coin e.g. Bitcoin Gold (BTG). Bitcoin value will continue to grow regardless of that people say or what China or Russia does. Investors put their money into bitcoin whenever they hear any news regarding a chain-split of the original bitcoin because they know they can make a lot of money off the bitcoin due to the hard fork that may lead to creating another altcoin - which they may get it for free after the successful chain-split.
Just means the altcoin market will rise quicker when the Bitcoin forks are over. Hopefully the Bitcoin transaction fees will be drastically lower and transactions much faster after the fork as well. Then I could start ordering pizza with Bitcoin again.
