I think the price of bigcoin now ($9500.11)is because it's almost monday again...
Last sunday it grew fast too...

Could be to play the media...

From about $7000 i guess it has nothing, to very little to do with ico's anymore.

too much honor

But, does - for exemple - the need for bitcoin, to cash off STEEM, make the price of bitcoin higher.

And so on for other ICO currencies. Same for ICO->ETHER->USD

So, in that way, do ICO coins drive up the price of BTC/ETH

https://www.coinschedule.com/stats.php?year=2016  - ICO's 2016

there was less correlation in 2016 visible

but

2016 had an ico total of 100.000.000 raised usd, towards 35 times more this year till now

while learning about forks still

saw this comparison about ICO's

https://www.coinschedule.com/stats.php                 - number of ico's

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/         - price of bitcoin
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/     - price of ethereum

correlation from april made me think

Does the price of Bitcoin also rice from the 'inside' = altcoins to bitcoin trades?

Finding out no-one knows, I ask silly questions.

At least I think.

Did Bitcoin price rise that fast because of ICO's
and Forks?

summary update: 11-19 / 21:33 gmt +1
            
            I hear most people think ICO's most likely help rise the price of Ethereum, less so for Bitcoin.
            Most people agree on that the price for Bitcoin was influenced by the promise of free additional coins from Bitcoin forks.

            Furthermore I read there is more regular stockmarket (nasdaq) interest in making financial products to invest / speculate in Bitcoin.
            This may be seen as a further step towards acceptation of cryptocurrency / Bitcoin. - Though not an often heared argument.

            Overall both ICO's and Bitcoin Forks seem to have led to more exposure and brought back/grow a lot of attention towards
            cryptocurrenties / Bitcoin.

Asked in a different way does for instance trading ether/usd for bitcoin/usd drive up the 'better spendable' pri€e of bitcoin in u$d?

Probably it did and will if ICO perform.

interesting developments
