and the demand is strong.
now imagine when SegWit activates and all the things you said come true. no more large backlog, no more higher fees, and no more delays. first thing that will happen is that all the money that went into altcoins will come out with their bubbles bursting. second thing is people who were a bit uncertain will come back and invest. the previous growing demand is also there.
in short if price is not going to $3000 with SegWit it goes to $6000
what banks? and what exchanges? I haven't heard this theory before as a factor for the price increase of BTC.
yeah thats because it isn't true. It was happening in China, but that got resolved recently. And it wasn't inflating the price, it was keeping it down. China started helping to push Bitcoin up again when China opening back up their exchanges for withdrawals.
