What has caused this huge jump in DCR value? Seems to be linked to BTC's crazy increase in value over the past few months. Anyone have any insight?
While DCR (and all cryptocurrencies really) have prices that are related to BTC in complex ways, I like to think that most of DCR's increase in value is due to increased adoption, increased attention, and hopefully people noticing the increased quality of what we are putting out.
Is it people that noticed decreed, or is it some hedge funds? If it is people. then this is a stable increase.
Based on activity in slack, software downloads, number of small purchases on exchanges, and so on I suspect that it is largely people and not just hedge funds, but of course 'good' hedge funds usually try not to be transparent in what they do so probably no one can say with total certainty.
