Bitcoin soared over 25 percent on Wednesday to hit $500 for the first time since August last year, with demand from China cited as behind the surge in the web-based "cryptocurrency".
Bitcoin has been on a tear since dipping below $198 on the Bitstamp exchange in the wake of the devaluation of China's yuan in late August, gaining over 150 percent in the following ten weeks to hit $502 on Wednesday.
