Today, Bitcoin has reached the point where a single coin costs about $19k. The last time a Bitcoin cost this much was during December 2017. If this trend continues with the currency, Bitcoin will probably break some all time high records in the future, though only time will tell if that will happen. Many factors have led to this increase in value, such as announcements from many investors to invest in Bitcoin as a form of "digital gold". There is also Paypal's new systems that allow average citizens to purchase Bitcoin using the service. Bitcoin has also risen because its' decentralization has allowed it to maintain value even during the COVID-19 pandemic where many central banks fight over how to deal with the crisis and print trillions of dollars just to sustain the global economy.
