Rather, in the developed world we are now online 24/7 - with the rise of 3/4G smartphones. However, this is only so since 2009 - 2013 for most people.

No - but your point is a feasible reason for a BTC price rise. Rather, the current BTC/USD rise is due to a influx of investment from China [1]. The Chinese government has been indirectly supporting the rise and adoption of Bitcoin thr
