All the reasons you have listed above where there during the bullish that started early October and last upto late December last year,... So why is this year so different.
I don't think any of what you have mentioned about has really determined the price of BTC. It's all about demand and supply my friend. And it's purely normal.
I had indeed a great point. The said factors is not really the identifiers of the price but rather it is only the factors that affects the price and it does not matter if it exist or what because bitcoin can perform without it. Unlike the supply and demand which is the main subject in bitcoin.
