It always seems very odd to me that news articles attempt to attribute #Bitcoin movements to events in a particular country - #BTC dips pending US CPI statement, etc. Surely #Bitcoin is a global phenomenon and only incidentally affected by local events. The price trend is dictated by forces stronger than the dollar. Sorry USA.
We all love graphs that go to the right and up: the plot at polarbitcoin.net does that by design (it rotates the chart every year) but right now with #Bitcoin at an ATH we can feel pleased with how all our #BTC charts look.
