Well masternodes could be playing a big part in the price rise and the fact that DNR is also a privacy coin which I believe will be all the rage this year so this may also be playing a part in the spike. Either way it is good to see DNR get the attention it deserves and now hopefully the price can hold strong and continue to rise steady like it did towards the end of 2017 for about 3 months.
Also big part would be if DNR gets into some other exchanges!
