... and another 50% today ...

Yah, it is really in lift-off now ahead of that CoinTelegraph article they are all talking about, that's why.
I have seen a lot about it in various ICO rooms being adopted as ICO currency last few days. That may be it too.
It is clearly pumping now and once it gets to that tipping point where the last high was in August then at that point it is just going to explode, maybe all the way up to a dollar would be my guess.
