The latest monitoring shows that the price of Bitcoin is above USD 9,200 per chip. The increasing crypto currency value is in line with its market capitalization which also jumped to USD 163 billion,

It's been a while since the digital currency posted that value. The last time Bitcoin had a price above USD 9,000 occurred in May 2018, or more than a year ago.

Investigating, the presence of Facebook's digital currency has contributed to controlling the value of Bitcoin. Some investors say the social networking plan is encouraging people to buy Bitcoin. This shows optimism for the increasingly widespread application of cryptocurrency in the mainstream financial system.

Not long ago, Facebook was rumored to be launching its digital currency on June 18. That date is much faster than the previous news that said that they would only launch digital currency globally by 2020.

Later, the digital currency which is called to be called stablecoin can be an option for Facebook employees as a form of payment of their salaries. In addition, the company made by Mark Zuckerberg also targets the currency to be used in developing countries where many residents still do not have bank accounts.
I think people are just reacting to the news that Facebook is coming into cryptocurrency and by them using blockchain technology to create a coin it will make mainstream easier. Facebook is one of the most popular social media and as such whatever they thinks to do , do attract world populace. I am happy that cryptocurrency market is now reacting to this news in a positive ways and not negative ways and I hope this will continue!

First I thought Facebook founder finally invest into bitcoin, then I read the title and finally realized they just create another fork or spoon or chopsticks whatever. It is hardly justify they actually did anything to bitcoin price.
It's most definitely not a fork, it is its own chain full of its own shit with no past transaction history.

Also to OP, the price was already in this range Facebook's Libra had nothing to do with it.

Stop this stupidity, libra is not a cryptocurrency!

Bitcoin and libra is completely different things, actually they are opposite things. Bitcoin in its essence stands for decentralization of power , the LIbra's power is centralized and what is more horrible - the power will be in hands of current payment giants - VISA and PayPal

Bitcoin have already been climbing before Facebook made their announcement, Bitcoin can stand on it`s own as it has been from the beginning. Though Facebook might made impact on the people`s decision, I think it is just a little factor. That`s why you can`t just give all the thanks or credit to FB.

Libra was announced June 18, Bitcoin hit $9200 on June 16. The current prices has nothing to do with Facebook. People are overestimating its effect on the market; it's not guaranteed to be successful just because Facebook launched it.

You beat me to this mate, the difference is Cristal clear that, Facebook never contributed to the recent Bitcoin surge and should be attributed to it either. To the best of my knowledge about facebookcoin, its centralize and will not be appreciated by many programmers becasue, at the end of the day facebook will ban dapp, and will also sell out users data to the public for their selfish interest.

Why would a "Private Coin" like StableCoin, bump the Bitcoin price? You know all other Alt coins and GovCoins and Blockchain based technologies are in competition with Bitcoin.... right? Yes, they take capital that could have been invested in Bitcoin away to be invested in those tokens.  Angry

Yes, some people who has never bought any Crypto currencies before, might be sparked to buy other type of coins, once they see the potential gain, but that would only be a very small percentage of the new market.  Roll Eyes

Bitcoin price could rise because of Libra, but only on long term, when, as somebody said, people will "see" Libra and will want "the real thing".
But Libra is just another stablecoin, one that's even worse than most of the ones we already have around.

Nope! I don't think facebook has slightest relation with the bitcoin's price surge! Probably it has just help to boost the morale of the crypto users worldwide, but nothing else.

Like you, even I am looking for a valid answer behind this steady growth in bitcoin's price and hovering over to a lot of news website for some insight. I encourage you to read the below article which seems to be the most realistic explanation behind this growth,

I don't think that it's only because of facebook.

Even before their announcement, the market has became better although I consider them contributed to the recent growth of the market.
