I thinks its a bit of stretch to say Bitcoin price is surging because of US/North Korea tensions, but would be very interesting if this is the case. Any idea what the thinking behind this idea is? I am struggling to see any.

Interesting indeed, probably because americans are scared their economy would take a hit if Donald goes to war so their putting their money in Bitcoin. This could be a factor, but definitely not the only one.

this is interesting

Very interesting
