Bitcoin’s Meteoric Price Rise to the Moon Reaches $2000

2017 has been an unbelievable year for cryptocurrency enthusiasts as they’ve watched bitcoin cross milestone after milestone. The digital asset is becoming widely known as a strong hedge against the turbulent global economy that continues to sink further every day. Many citizens from all around the world are clearly choosing bitcoin to hedge their wealth from deteriorating and to move their money however they see fit. This can be seen in countries like China, Japan, India, Venezuela, Russia, and more.

Some of the momentous feats Bitcoin has reached this year include global trade volume topping over $1 billion USD worth of trades daily. Bitcoin’s hashrate has reached a whopping 4.2 exahash per second encouraged by the mining revenue that has also crossed an all-time high. The decentralized currency’s daily transaction rate is higher than ever before with over 326,000 transactions per day. Bitcoin has crushed nearly all of its records over the past four months and doesn’t seem to be slowing up.

Mainstream media has been awfully kind to bitcoin as friendly headlines from publications like the New York Times, Bloomberg, Fortune, Time Magazine, and many others have shown bitcoin in a positive light. The articles are very different from the editorials in the past calling bitcoin doomed, dead, worthless, tulip mania, and yes even beanie babies. Now mainstream media is calling bitcoin worthy of an investor’s portfolio, a “safe haven,” “store of value,” “digital gold,” and many other kind words.

The $2000 price is just shy of two days before the infamous pizza day where a pie from Papa Johns was sold for 10,000 bitcoins ($20M USD). Furthermore many bitcoiners can still remember the days when bitcoin reached parity with the U.S. dollar, silver, and this year surpassing 1oz of solid gold. Bitcoin has been in the movies, in songs, books, television shows, and even on the Simpsons.
