Forks slow bitcoins rise but I am sure it will go up in no time. It is getting bunch of attention from investors and I am sure that the market will have an increase in demand which will be profit for those short investor. Less supply more demand and value. I just hope that they will stop the banning of btc in their country so that many people will experience the benefits of bitcoin.
I think bitcoin is already boosted up too much and still it has the potential to boost again and again. in fact bitcoin's popularity is still increasing from time to time, therefore we can expect to see the price of bitcoin trading above 7000$ in next few weeks. i think still bitcoin is providing opportunities to people to invest money in bitcoin.
