Its amazing, a couple of high profile firms got into Bitcoin and something happened that i suspected for a while would happen eventually. Companies hedge funds etc are being forced into crypto to stay competitive against their rivals, eventually this will filter right down to mainstream retail and viola Bitcoin will be cash/internet money in everyday life. At some point soon the average man on the street will need to do the same, they will have to buy in or see wealth evaporate. Big money/smart money knows this so they are front running them now. Steems SBD pump is also i suspect smart money, 32 million dollars worth of smart money, they know full well what is about to happen. People look and think wow thats dumb but that will turn out to be dead wrong soon enough.
