As I was then expecting last week, there would be a little surge of Bitcoin price within this week and it our darling currency pushed over $200 to a high of $2783.
While understandably there are those who are spreading FUD all over the net on the August One Event, the market is already getting immune.
The major reason for this recent surge is the news that finally SegWig2x consensus has already surpassed 80% and we can soon see what the whole Bitcoin community is wishing for.
I have a strong faith that eventually things can get ironed out and that the interests of the majority would prevail as we are now witnessing the history of Bitcoin unfolds before our very eyes...with Bitcoin evolving and progressing towards the future.
The resaon for the adjustment i think came aloncg with a lot of altcoin interest. I mean if you look at the coinmarketcap historical snapshots a week ago you see all the altcoins going up even though bitcoin is going down in fiat terms, which means that they are just absolutely shooting off the charts.
This is obviously not something that is sustainable. I like to think that when there are ICOs, money flow out of bitcoin, into altcoins such as ETH(most ICOs only accept ETH these days) to obtain the tokens that the guy is after.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if this new surge in price is caused by ethereum crashing. There is only this much money in cryptos, and if eth goes down, bitcoin goes up. It's sort of a 0 sum game. I wouldn't be surprised if ETH loses another 10 billion in market cap soon, boosting the bitcoin market cap to over $50 billion and therefore bitcoin will be over $3500.
