All the reasons you have listed above where there during the bullish trend 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 totally agree with you. he just mentioned the reason related to recent time but he could not explain about the time before. Some reasons in his list do not make sense. i don't think it is trustworthy.
