Don't know if it works in UK (have done it in Spain), but I have used with success a service named chip chap (they have an app too) you send them the btc and they give you back a code with which you can withdraw a corresponding amount of cash in some ATM's.

Probably there would be a correction. But the raise may be due to the success of BTC vs. the dump of the forked BCC. People see BTC as the victor, so they dump BCC and buy more BTC.
But a BCC pump would not be something strange to happen.

Can be wrong, but I think it will pump sooner or later.
Why?
-Large BCC holders are likely to be Large BTC holders. Allright, many of them may have dumped already, but some not.
-BCC holders, thus, have the BTC to pump their own BCC back.
-If they pump, they will raise the value of their holders BCC, while at the same time buy more BCC at cheaper prices (seems like a win win situation for them).
If the BCC are mainly in the hands of people who do not own much BCC, that would not happen. But it can actually be the opposite.

45k$ is just too much. We can be happy with the fast increase rate we are experiencing now.... value has tripled in months and that is absolutely awesome. Perhaps a day (several years from now) that will happen, but not yet.

I have used microwallet hd for some time, it was good until recently that I had some issues (taking too long to sync, not loading, etc.). I am trying to sync bitcoin core now... been doing that for about two weeks lol.

To say it was expected for the price not to go down is quite easy now that it has already happened. And that is the norm when something has happened already: it is quite easy to analyze and get an explanation on why did it actually happen. The difficult thing is to predict ahead.
But fine for all, if Bitcoin keeps raising, I'm in. Lol.

I did not know that bcc was still in the market, surprised to see it in ViaBTC. It is hard for me to think that it will raise when lots of people get chep BCC in the fork. Most likely it is going to go much lower than it is now, and right now it only has 1/9 of the BTC value...

We can speculate. Upgrades goes well, transactions start to go lightning fast. People get excited and buy a lot. Then it goes to the news (again) and more people buy more... goes up and up and ...well we get to 5000

Even though apparently there are few coins for a market like that, I think many people will sell theirs if it doubled or had a substantial raise. Plus, BTC has 8 digit... satoshis might be the unit they trade finally in markets like that. In that case a not very large supply of sellers will be more than enough to cover demand and price will skyrocket.

Sounds strange to me. It is true I have had a couple of problems with it (Now it syncs from 2015 everytime a go in and I had to reinstall it due to an issue) but I have used it recently to send and receive some bitcoins and everything was ok... well time to move funds from it I guess.

Great, another exchange handling the split (I have read of poloniex doing so too). Best for users that are not very techy or just do not want to bother messing around and sending their coins to and fro. Is good to know.

After seeing the recent leap nearing the $3000 I think it is possible in about two years too. Big numbers make Bitcoin get attention, and attention can make it go very very high in a short time, precisely because market is still low. Things can grow a lot when there is a little market, but tend to grow more slowly when market is widespread and established.

Not just with Bitcoin, but with anything, users are needed. Not even the Internet would be worth a thing if there were no users. Of course, someone has to keep things running like miners do, but when you have something running is because you have the hope for someone (at least one) to make use of it.

Because people are quite hopeful that the scaling is going to be a success (I do to). Bitcoin future is bright, and investors are happy. Futhermore, it is easier to go up from a down than from an up, and that is what is happening.
