It is just 3 months ago when one Bitcoin was worth $1750 and back in March this year Bitcoin was worth even less than $1000. Today BTC made a new all-time high at $3500 on Bitstamp, while it is just 2 years ago when the coin was still being traded below $250 USD. Where does this end? Should we worry about the dollar? It keeps losing a lot of value compared to bitcoin!
Meanwhile, Steem is among the biggest losers today. Too bad! I'm amazed such an amazing cryptocurrency is not ranked higher than place #22.
