A number of exchanges, including popular destinations Coinbase and Kraken, valued a single bitcoin at over $3,000, an all-time high that is up $485 on the valuation one month ago. Earlier this year, Bitcoin surged in surpass $2,000 for the first time in May going on to almost reach $3,000 in June only for the valuation to crash.

This rollercoaster isn't new, but it has still got me excited and happy. And to think it came about just after all the negativity surrounding the hard fork and split in the community! People should just hold on to their coins.
