What are the reason behind the rise of bitcoin?
I'm just going to take this question ...
Sometimes you get a "reasonable" answer because "noticeable" events occur that determine that increase, many study these quantitative elements, and then the predictions are born.
So the "reasons" for bitcoin's rise are in some ways usually known after they happen, others are actually an organic effect, a product of the entire ecosystem called BITCOIN CORE / bitcoin / users / markets.
Perhaps some will risk saying that other factors must be added, such as social factors, effects of traditional parallel markets, unforeseen effects such as the pandemic, these effects we can call qualitative. In my opinion, bitcoin has surpassed them and demonstrated that its influence on the "BITCOIN CORE / bitcoin / users / markets" ecosystem is not as important or influential as previously thought, at least not at this precise moment.
All of the above is only a "clue" to begin to have an "idea" of the unforeseen increases that sometimes in recent times exceed 10% in just moments and that surprise many "new users" who just arrived and generated the question that you very reasonably do.
Please! it's not an exclusive question from a novice...
BUT if you start to study bitcoin prices a bit at different times, including the genesis of bitcoin, you understand that it is a natural effect of bitcoin formation and that those increases that happen from 10% -20% (even its precipitous falls) today, they are pulverized if you start making comparisons with the different periods.
So learning to know the reasons for these increases before they happen is the real task that every user should do to make their own decisions. Or at least understand the market and that this information helps you to start believing or not the forecasters.
All this can begin to help you get answers to that classic question.
