I still do not partially even really understand it but this Digital Currency is just blowing up and now becoming more and more available. Reporter yes, bitcoin mania is really taken over.

Meanwhile critics still say this could just be a bubble and theyre waiting for the price to collapse. But when you look at where bitcoin has gone in 2017, its up more than 1400 percent. So, this is this is huge and this is a big a big jump that weve seen this past year. So, as far as what it is, it is tough to understand.
