There is yet another Bitcoin fork (seg2wit) coming. If you hold BTC at the time of the fork you might get free money like with the last fork (bitcoin cash). If and when it will fall? Hard to predict, but it sure looks like a Ponzi scheme.

This fork is Segwit2x, and is considered to be an adversarial fork -- some even consider it the first battle in a civil war. The 'dividend' of getting free money does not apply here. In fact, a lot of folks in the Bitcoin community think that the price of BTC is actually signficantly _depressed_ because of this uncertainty. It's almost certainly not contributing to the price rise.
