Bitcoin, which has been rallying hard over recent months, has hit a fresh year-to-date high, breaking the psychological $9,000 level for the second time this year and leaving investors eyeing the $10,000 mark.

Bitcoin price reached highs of $9,387 per bitcoin on the Luxembourg-based Bitstamp exchange before falling back slightly.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency sentiment has been boosted recently by news social media giant Facebook is looking to create its own cryptocurrency, with details of the Palo Alto company's plans expected to be fully revealed on Tuesday this week.

I'm interested to see where the price is going to stop this year. This increase was unexpected to me.
Also, I am monitoring Litecoin during the last days and I don't see any reason that it grows so fast. Do we have any clue?

Bitcoin did it again! And I am sure that people are now wondering and asking if $10,000 is now easily on sight and can be on the bag soon. Will bitcoin eventually pole-vault itself towards that psychological barrier soon or will it again do the retracement dance for the benefit of people who love to buy while there is a dip? I am very excited to see bitcoin show its resiliency again and again proving many predictions of gloom and doom into smithereens. People who are wondering why bitcoin is a solid and strong digital asset should just look at its history of how many times it had been proclaimed to be dead...yet here it is enjoying the big resurgence it is experiencing now.

Bitcoin is again hit $9000, which is nice but in my opinion a rather insignificant an event. What this is really about is news about FB coin which is boosted bitcoin, what really does not make sense. This is actually a paid promotion for FB shitcoin, which only can imitate bitcoin - but will probably end up with fail, same as FB.

Litecoin is soaring and it is often known as the testbed for bitcoin. The price around the litecoin halving will be replicated at the bitcoin halving so investors are going to switch later when the time is right. They know bitcoin is going to moon next year
