I was hoping for some bull run atleast by ethereum before this Hardfork but i think everything in the cryptoworld is so gloomy right now that even the good news are unable to make some positive impact.
I think there is a little bit bull run happen past days ago which also affect all crypto price including bitcoin but there are still many ETH miner out there that will prevent ETH to increase it's value like what happened few days ago where the price of ETH reach $160 USD and then drop to $130 because there are many miners holding their ETH and hoping for the price of ETH increased.
I think they are just making this news just to let the price of ETH increase so that those big farm ETH miners who hold big amount of ETH can sold their ETH in the higher price.
