I took a few weeks off the SR and I just noticed how much the price of BTCs has gone up! Something like 12% on the market that I use (4.75 -> 5.35).
I know I'm howling at the moon here, but does anyone know why? Usually it takes a gwaker like incident to drive the price up that quickly. But, looking at the tor metrics (https://metrics.torproject.org/users.html) there has been a significant increase in the number of tor users - which I know is a crude way to correlate the price of BTCs, but tor users almost doubled after the gwaker article and the price of BTC was like 13$ for a short while.
Maybe now that TFM is down, BTC driven sites are beginning to appear more secure - and hence the increase in demand, and price. Or maybe I just have too much time on a Sunday afternoon

Hard to say, someone just wrote on another thread that the festival season may be driving people to get more BTC and from there, the rise. I don't know, doesn't satisfy somehow.

I hope someone is staging a run, I've always wanted to do that shit.
