The graph of rise in transaction sets at the time did not follow the normal stochastic nature of random transaction events. There was a perfect curve with a rise in the number of transactions starting from 2017-01-24 at 06:00 until it peaked at 17:00. After that there have been random injections into the network to keep the value high. The perfect curve is consistent with a single entity constructing a careful crafted set of injections into the network.

Change the graph to see the last seven days and you will see why this is not just some random rise in transactions.

It's once again likely a political stunt to bring attention to blocksize and/or segwit.
