Forgive my ignorance, I am very new to this space. I saw talks about CBDCs and that drew my attention back to cryptocurrencies. I thought the last bull run would be the last we would have seen of bitcoin ever reaching those heights so I stopped looking at the crypto space ever since. But now we have discussions about dethroning the dollar and CBDCs, I am changing my mind about that, but I still find it fascinating that bitcoin is pumping in this economy right now. I am no means an expert in economics as you can clearly tell, would appreciate if anyone who had the knowledge could shed some light here. Always keen to learn. Thanks
Do not ask forgiveness even you asked a legitimate question (of course to some it is legit and to some is not).
The pumping of Bitcoin is not yet started in serious mode, as the current spikes are due to many of reasons, and the main reason for EFTs is already mentioned by Bittraffic. so i will mention others like the adoption of crypto in different countries like Hong Kong, USA, etc. Like in HK, the government made plans to convince those who are still skeptical about crypto to invest in it. while on the other hand, amid the legal cases and bans from SEC and CFTC, the US now promoting crypto, like they announced to come up with their own crypto exchange (i think the name is EDX).
This news urges big institutional investors to invest in BTC and many institutions bought the shares from MicroStrategy which means they bought BTC indirectly. This increased the trust of other people and hype created among people. This hype has become so intense that small news is making impacts on the price of BTC now (in up trend).
As i mentioned at the start BTC is not started to take pump so this news is not enough to make big pumps happen. Let's see what we see next,
