Too some extent it is true that they will try to push bitcoin down in order to save the existence of their own currencies and also due to security purpose as it very difficult to trace actual amount of btc owned by one person.But after certain time they have to accept it is the future of global currency.

Simple reason for popularity of bitcoin is it has more user than any other cryptocurrency and it is more safe and stable than others.

According to me by seeing all the facts and readings,I think there is no one factor which affects bitcoin market,many things like selling,purchasing, economic fall in certain country,fall in other altcoins or fiat,some news or action taken by some government etc .

Frankly speaking i am not surprised with lot of people choosing dollar over bitcoin,It will be difficult to make people aware about bitcoin without any solid structure present in front of them.Its a long journey to travel guys and we are getting closer day by day.

I am not surprised as it was expected with lot of investment news coming up and i think it will increase for some time.

Yes indeed a great news and surely will have some positive impact on pricing in different countries too and on the popularity of bitcoin.
