The fact that there is no clear reason, no clear media hype to blame it on, is actually a good thing. Most likely a big investor just decided it's time he got some of his value into bitcoins.

Ten year is enough time to make wikipedia skeptics to go away. We just need ten years for bitcoin skeptics to go away too.
