At the start of the week, the cryptocurrency reached an all-time high of $9,721 USD per unit which made its total market cap worth more than IBM, McDonald’s and Disney.
Following much market insider’s speculation, Bitcoin continued its upward trend recently breaking through the unprecedented $10,000 USD mark.
