Bitcoin is Now 8 Years Old and Over $1000 USD per Coin

3, Jan 2017

Great start of the new 2017 for Bitcoin (BTC). The crypto currency is now trading at over $1000 USD per coin and today also marks the 8th year since the first block with 50 BTC was generated. That was the genesis block of Bitcoin or with other words the first ever block generated for the BTC blockchain. Time sure does fly fast and Bitcoin has been doing very well lately with predictions raging from $2000 USD exchange rate by the end of this year to much more, especially if the economic situation all around the world does not improve significantly in a short period of time. So happy birthday Bitcoin and may be the force be with you or something else along those lines.
