I think kim dotcom recent tweet that he will involve in bitcoin drives the price up
it's good to see big player in sharing file industry involved in bitcoin world, many speculators take this as good sign and bought some coins
and articles from big economic media like WSJ about bitcoin is help the prices too!
Kim is more like a public figure influence, than he is some big investor , are not his financial goods seized mostly ?
I believe the increase has more to do with this

Just seams more logical, and also more important.
cheers
yeah you're right, it seems kim dotcom twitter influence attract some people to buy bitcoin. He has a lot follower for sure
megaupload was seized by FBI few years ago, and he moved his business to New Zealand.
WSJ article about bitcoin seems the possible key factor cause price goes up. As for economic portal, WSJ has a lot investor/trader subscriber
i'm sure many of them interest to invest in bitcoin
