As of early this morning, the world’s largest digital currency was going for $55,867.95 per coin, reflecting growth of over 90% in 2021 so far, and it’s not showing signs of slowing down anytime soon.

“It’s becoming increasingly difficult for the bitcoin naysayers to continue with their decade-old narrative that bitcoin will never be utilized by traditional ….financial institutions,” said the executive director of BC Group. “Frankly, I’m not sure how much more evidence one needs to conclude that bitcoin isn’t going away.”
