We're at a Canadian ATH, eh?

[Chris!]

From what I can tell, the US dollar and Canadian dollar were relatively close in 2013 and we're at $1250 today. This is a Canadian all time high isn't it?

Holy crap. That's exciting!

According to Bitcoinaverage, the old ATH was $1255CAD. We broke that this morning. Now we're at $1291.

I bought most of my coins when the USD and CAD were at par. Canadians not only profited from Bitcoin's natural rise, but also by using Bitcoin as a safe haven from the loonie's devaluation. Win-win.

[chesatochi]

I am Canadian and I must tell you that is very cool that the price has reached that amount. We have around 30% difference with the US dollar, so is the reason the price is so high.

But, I keep faith to have 1 bitcoin in my wallet soon

[KitcatCat]

Canada's next barrier will be 1500, once btc gets above 1000 usd we'll get there in short order.

[Dmitry.Vastov]

Wow. That was huge! Hope US dollar break the all time high too.
Canada just surpass the all time high. So US dollar has a chance to surpass the all time high too.
Its makes me more excite. We are so close at $1000. And when we reach that. The rally will still continue from rising. 2017 is exciting year for bitcoin.

[JimboToronto]

I see we were briefly over $1300.

One step at a time.

[spazzdla]

Over $1300.. AHHH YA WE ARE!!

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Great news for Canadian's, let's keep calm though & rejoice once we power past the ATH in all national currencies.

[alyssa85]

It is at the euro all time high and pound all time high as well. And yuan all time high and rupee all time high.

Just the dollar holding out now!

Dollars, I just don't get it.  The more they print, the more they're worth.  So weird.

Not at a yuan ath, that's at 8k.

It looks like it's bouncing around the $1300 mark a lot right now.

Over $1300.. AHHH YA WE ARE!!

Yeah I'm surprised every time I check the price in the morning!

Every ATH is a win for bitcoins in that country/region. It should attract some press coverage

According to Bitcoinaverage, the old ATH was $1255CAD. We broke that this morning. Now we're at $1291.

I thought that USD ATH was $1263 or something around $1250 at least, so how come canadian ATH was only $1255?
The only explanation I can think of is that Canadian dollars in 2013 was much more valuable, more than USD, is that true?

In 2013 the USD and CAD were relatively close. Looking at the historical data it seems that the ATHs were somewhere around the same price whereas today we're at a Canadian ATH but nowhere close to a USD ATH.

I just saw $1500   I think we're going to have to have a correction soon. I keep thinking that but it just keeps going up and up and up so hopefully I'm wrong  

[Chris!]

And another Canadian ATH everyone! I'm glad I started using bitcoins in 2015, it seems I swooped in at the right time.

You forgot to show your private key to prove it's legit.

Yes our dollars were very close to USD in 2013.

[spazzdla]

Indeed, although the CAD might not have actually been higher than the USD. They were very close.

It has more to do with whose figures you're using. At the time, Cavirtex was the leading CAD exchange, but they've been gone for years now, but I seem to recall that they were in the low-mid-$1200s at the time.

I used Bitcoinaverage's price because they have the most accurate weighted averages of pretty much all trade-for-fee exchanges. Of course the Gox figures will be artificially high due to withdrawal issues and Willybot.
