Price rose, because it was expected it will. It has to do it sooner or latter. I dont understand why people put questions why. There was milion good news in last 2 years but price was going down or was steady.
Now even if there are only bad news, price will go up fro some time.
The price rose by almost $100 in less than nine hours today. That's got to be due to the enabling of direct Chinese bank deposits. I've never seen it rise so fast before. There are other reasons for the rise, but I think the biggest reason is the Chinese bank deposits.
I think so too, until china bans bitcoins again in late december and price plummets to the ground.
I'm starting to think they are doing all of this on purpose and working with the media. Once the richest country - forever the richest, or atleast they seem to want to stay that way with bitcoins too.
