I think people are wising up to BTC as a way to flee the USA.
Many far left and many far right fear the election (both think their guy may lose) and are stashing wealth into BTC just in case.
Thus price is rising.
Trump busted a move yesterday which means the USA gov will be printing some more money so many fear USD will take a fall.
That is a realistic possibility that people are worried that the dollar would fall but the problem is that it is not just the US government is printing money during this crisis as majority of the government around the globe are doing the same and do you think that the price of bitcoin would stand tall when the economy falls. I can only speculate as i have seen the bitcoin market going down whenever the stock market faces a correction in the past one year.
