why has Factom shot up in value in the last 24 hours?

Things of the sort. With all the stuff going on with bitcoin and the massive price increase in ethereum, I could see how news on anything else could be over shadowed..
Not only that but people are probably also diversifying their portfolios to hedge agains the decline in bitcoins price.. spreading their ether profits into other coins..
Who knows. Many variables. Meanwhile, this little gem is just chugging along
Edit: i wouldnt say that the article i referenced is the reason for the increase in the past 24 hours. I would attribute that to more of the latter of my claims. Although it does shine light on the fact that they are doing big things as well.
