Bitcoin reaches new all-time high, surpassing $20,000

A few weeks ago, we learned that Bitcoin was booming once again, with the cryptocurrencies value approaching a new all-time high. Today, the Bitcoin market saw another boost, pushing its value to over $20,000 USD per Bitcoin. 

This is a new all-time high for Bitcoin, which has risen from $19,000 value in late November. At $20,000 per Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency is at its highest value since late 2017. The currency boomed towards the end of 2017 before sharply dropping in early 2018.

 

As Mashable points out, other cryptocurrencies are also doing well at the moment. A boom in Bitcoin usually trickles down to other forms of digital currency, with Ethereum currently valued at $600 – a 7.79 percent rise in the last seven days. Bitcoin Cash, an offshoot of Bitcoin, is currently trading at $297.67, an 11.76 percent rise in the last seven days.

At the moment, Bitcoin is still growing, with coinmarketcap showing a $20,325 value. Things won't drop straight away, so we could possibly see Bitcoin hit $21,000 before things start to dip.

KitGuru Says: If you’ve been holding onto some Bitcoin, then now might be a good time to see how much its worth. Now we'll all just have to wait and see how high Bitcoin can reach before it starts to crash down again.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
