Many persons have been asking me why did the price of bitcoin and other crypto increased so fast in value under 30 minutes, here is the reason whales whales. An institution put alot of money into purchasing of crypto as of 13th April 2018 , this purchase caused an increase in the value of bitcoin and other crypto currency. I am not still sure of the main reason why there made the purchase, but I hope it's for good.
Maybe it also has something to do with the settlement of the BTC futures contract also. Usually I have observed slight spike or depression in price surrounding events like this.
