Bitcoin - A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System

There are a variety of reasons why BCH is showing massive price appreciation:

• EDX exchange launched with big liquidity from insider Wall Street hedge funds

• EDX will only support BCH, LTC, ETH, and BTC

• Short covering after YEARS of downward price manipulation

• Promising developments in BCH ecosystem like CashTokens

• Rumors that "Chinese miners are back"

• BCH hashrate effectively tripled in the past week

• Other forked coins are also pumping somewhat

• Lightning acknowledged as a failure by many hardcore Maxies

• BCH gaining recognition as the closest thing to Satoshi's whitepaper concept

• Merchants accepting BCH continually growing

What's remarkable about BCH's rise is that Tether supply hasn't increased at all. This means it's most likely organic price appreciation, rather than another rigged Tether pump-and-dump. There seems to be a large influx of new Reddit bot accounts, so perhaps a huge FUD campaign is being prepared? For the time being everything just seems to be getting downvoted to hell :(.
