Bitcoin 10 years ago...
“You can definitely say that 2013 has been the year of the bitcoin,” said Guillaume Babin-Tremblay, executive director of the Bitcoin Embassy in Montreal, Quebec.
Bitcoin made headlines on Nov. 29 as the price of a single coin hit an all-time high. Mt. Gox one of the original and biggest bitcoin exchanges, based in Tokyo, recorded the high at $1,242 per coin. For comparison, during the same day spot gold prices hit a session low of $1,240 per ounce.
Babin-Tremblay said that at the start of the year a single bitcoin could have been purchased for around $12, a gain of 10,250% from the year’s high. However, since hitting its all-time high, prices dramatically dropped, and on Dec. 10 prices were hovering around $961 per bitcoin, a drop of 28% in less than two weeks.
