This is not shocking at all because the rate at which bitcoin is trending this has to happen. And I believe that there will be more and more increase in prices of bitcoins. Bitcoins is trending in society, everyone wants to own bitcoin and investors are investing in bitcoins. I think $6000dollars is start, bitcoin will have a long journey. Bitcoins has broke all records set regarding its prices. Bitcoin are attracting investors and many big huge investment banks are investing in bitcoins.
But it looks like that we spoke too soon again. Bitcoin has reached its peaked already, and now the price is going down after the fork. Although I personally thought that it can go higher still, but tough for investors not to sell bitcoin because of the price. Again, its currently down to $5600, but I'm still very positive that we can regain it soon. October is coming to an end, and the Bitcoin Gold rush is over, we can now set our minds on the next, Segwit2x in November. Maybe we can get over $6000 once more and then go to $7000. But for now, eventhough the price is below $6000, it is very very good to end this month.
