LOL. Bitcoin is decentralized and no one controls it. And yes the price go up dramatically in the last couple of days. And now its even higher and trading above $13K. Isn't it great?
What drove this price is the basic supply and demand. Is the demand is huge and the supply is limited prices go up now only in bitcoin but in other commodities as well. So where are the demand coming from specially today? The answer:
>>Bitcoin futures contracts
A lot of financial institutions such as CBOE, CME and Nasdaq and offering it to their clients. This news drove institutional investors to buy more bitcoin in anticipation of this kind of offers.
>>Bitcoin is now becoming more popular
