The cryptocurrency boom is still in a full upward swing. Bitcoin soared to a new record high on Monday, worth more than $3,400, according to the Coindesk Bitcoin Price Index. Bitcoin is now reportedly three times as expensive as an ounce of gold. Ethereum and the new alternative coin Bitcoin Cash also appear to be on the rise. CoinMarketCap showed the total cryptocurrency market was worth more than $117 billion on Monday morning. It’s clear this formerly niche tech scene is now an influential part of the global economy.
