The Winklevoss twins are waiting for an SEC decision on their Bitcoin ETF. I think that might be causing the BTC run up. It is also causing some other coin like Eth, Dash, Zcash, Monero and some others to climb way up. I feel it is a bubble that will burst if the SEC denies the Winklevoss BTC ETF. I am waiting patiently to buy back in on the crash if it happens. No matter what, this is how you make money if you can stand the pressure.I see this rising still only a week or so ago, a few cashed out when I said it was the highest it´s been, now, well, this is so damn high. Any day now it´s going to crash to at least 700 again, that would be the time to buy and really those with substantial amounts probably should cash out now, I can´t see it going much higher.
Or, as Markham above has said, could we be wrong and it continues to grow?Comment

I would buy some of that if it gets approved -- it will be a regulated market then

Bet the companies actually using (or proposing to use) the Bitcoin blockchain to store data/proof of data are crapping themselves right now. Block size at maximum capacity, tens of or hundreds of thousands of transactions sitting in limbo in the memory pool, transaction fees rising as people compete to have theirs included in a block which can't take everything...Imagine using the blockchain to follow a T-bone steak. It documents from breeding, to calf, feed, antibiotics or organic, farm or ranch, slaughterhouse, distribution, grocery store or restaurant to your plate. It can be used for provenance or chronology of the ownership, custody or location of anything. That is a game changer.
You can't reliably prove an object exists at a specific time if the transaction containing the proof hash takes 30 hours to be incorporated into the blockchain.

You mean the 1MB limit on block size? That's been discussed for a while, but it's only more recently that it has become a real issue.
This gives you some idea of supply (1MB per 10 minutes) and demand (currently 100MB+)

Trades within an exchange are "off blockchain." It's Bitcoin transactions that are affected.Comment

There are programs which can scan drives to find keys. I modified a simple one that has found 500,000 potential keys on an old drive image I had archived. Most of those are going to be duds (not a key, just coincidentally the same series of header bytes), a very small number will be real keys that have been used and now have zero balance, but if I'm really lucky it might find something odd that got lost some years ago. I've been using Bitcoin since 2011 so who knows. I'll find out in a couple of days when it finishes importing them.
