Bitcoin Forum

For people active in the Bitcoin ecosystem, some days appear as if they were taken out of a telenovela at certain times. One of the recent topics of heavy debate is whether or not the Bitcoin block size should be increased, and if so, in what capacity. Additionally, there is still the mystery surrounding the creator of Bitcoin, who goes by the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. Wall Street isn’t worrying about any of these squabbles, though, as the financial sector is showing increased interest in Bitcoin and digital currency.

The Wall Street coming to the bitcoin, that could be the reason for the recent price rise. The volume in Bitstamp is also higher.

No. The current price rise has only to do with the nearing block halving.

It's not new that Wall Street has a certain interest in Bitcoin or the Blockchain, or even in both. It's just a matter of waiting till they really go from saying it, to taking action to incorporate Bitcoin and make it tradable just like how you buy stocks. That would be a massive achievement and will make Bitcoin go sky high. The institutional traders will then be more willing to trade in Bitcoin instead of using "The Nasdaq Of Bitcoin" Gemini.

The Wallstreet changes its mind from months to months. I have recently read an article where Wallstreet brokers and "experts" stated that Bitcoin will not have a future.
