Bitcoin is exploding higher after days of consolidation under $19,000. The leading cryptocurrency as of this article’s writing is in the midst of shooting toward previous all-time highs. Bitcoin currently trades for $19,400, which is the highest it has traded since the late 2017 highs.
BTC has a few percent to move to the upside before it is to actually set a new all-time high, though many are confident it will happen soon.
Despite the strong rally of 70% in the past five or six weeks, many don’t think it is too late to buy the <span class="wpg-tooltip-term-title">Coin</span></h3><div class="wpg-tooltip-content">A coin is a unit of digital value.
