I think the 20K price run up in Dec. was organic to a degree, but the introduction of futures contracts along with network congestion caused the price to fall...and subsequent altcoin rally
Not at all imo, the price run up started July 17th, the same day they announced BCH fork would happen Aug 1st, the price had already started to crash due to UASF up until that point.
I noticed the same thing. Price run-up was to prevent a flippening.
