The seemingly unstoppable rise of Bitcoin continued today with the cost of a single unit of the digital currency rising above US$50,000 ($69,388) for the first time.
The price of Bitcoin has risen almost 200 per cent in the past three months and its volatility was on display Tuesday (Wednesday NZT).
After rising above US$50,600, it fell back to US$48,674 at 2.15pm ET. At that price, with about 18.6 million Bitcoins in circulation, Bitcoin has a market value of nearly US$907 billion.
