I'm pretty sure less bitcoins are being mined compared to the previous years, otherwise what's the point from the block halving. The demand is clearly coming from different types of people, investors, people who want a way out of the banking system, Darknet users, gamblers etc. and in these area, compared to fiat, bitcoin is much better.
I completely agree.
High demand, less supply. Reasonable, since everyday it's harder and harder to mine bitcoins. Banning of bitcoins in China may have contribute somehow or if every the number of miners there were already covered by new miners still it's difficult to set a proportional amount of bitcoin to the massive adaption of bitcoins.
Before I think one bitcoin is to a hundred users or less that is why prices before are low.
Today, I think one bitcoin is not only to a thousand users.
