wherever i look today it seems like there are a lot of people who are surprised about the "rise", which doesn't make any sense to me because there is nothing surprising about this rise in my experience.
the only thing that surprised me was the Fall!
when the market was in bull mode and the price was strongly rising and we had the reasonable correction after the $13k record, things were normal. then the dumping came and price fell, that part was surprising. when price entered the $7k range again 2 days ago it was one of the most surprising things after the $3k drop earlier this year. that drop was "manipulated".
this "rise" that we are seeing today is not at all surprising. it was long overdue and should have happened a lot sooner. we are seeing the market correction and coming back to real prices once again.
There are a lot of questions here from this one. Why and who would manipulate the price of Bitcoin to drop? Not to sound crazy... But could it be a government trying to push people out of BTC and ruin the markets?
I've always thought that if Bitcoin was ever to hit below 3k again, we'd be fucked, I reckon a lot of people would pull out and completely give up on it (except the enthusiastic one).
Prices are stable again. 10k BTC is where it's at!
