Bitcoin has registered a new all-time high price after breaking its previous record of $19,738. According to Bitstamp, Bitcoin’s price hit $19,825 before retracing to its current price of $19,500.
The cryptocurrency has spent the better part of the last 4 months on a bull run that saw Bitcoin’s price rise from approximately $11,000 to near all-time highs. Then, the market crashed, as Bitcoin fell to about $16,400. But in a strong reversal, the record has finally been broken—and crypto Twitter is having a party.
“Congrats to those who have survived a full market cycle. Better buckle up!” said Casa CTO Jameson Lopp.
Buoyed by Bitcoin’s recovery from last week’s decline, Pierre Rochard, Bitcoin strategist at Kraken, recommended selling other assets to buy more Bitcoin.
Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy and outspoken Bitcoin advocate, tweeted just one hour ago and made reference to Bitcoin’s functionality just in time for the all-time high. While 2020’s Thanksgiving threatened to be synonymous with a price correction that saw Bitcoin fall just short of an all-time high, Saylor noted that Bitcoin put the hard yards in during the holiday.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, #Bitcoin operated uninterrupted for 113.5 hours vs. 3.5 hours for US capital markets. Networks from Google, Apple, Facebook, & Amazon also operated uninterrupted. No one is going to settle for 3.1% availability from their monetary network.
As always, Bitcoin bear Peter Schiff weighed in. He suggested that the price rise was all based on a rumour.
The news that Guggenheim is contemplating putting as much as $500 million into GBTC has sent the price of Bitcoin to a new high. I doubt Guggenheim is dumb enough to actually do this, but they may be smart enough to float the rumor to help pumpers manipulate the price higher,” he tweeted.

Bitcoin has broken its all-time high price of $19,783, overcoming its previous record set during the 2017 bull run. Since then, the cryptocurrency has fallen back somewhat to $19,600 but it's incredibly volatile and the price is changing by hundreds of dollars in minutes.
While Bitcoin’s price is up over 170% since the start of 2020, this bull run truly began in earnest in August, when a series of high profile Bitcoin investments—kickstarted by business intelligence firm MicroStrategy—helped to...
Some, not convinced the day is done, are anticipating Bitcoin’s next record will be breaking the $20,000 barrier. Anthony Pompliano, author of the Pomp Podcast—one of the most popular podcasts in the crypto community—tweeted, “Bitcoin is really making a run at $20,000 this morning.”
Holy shit. Bitcoin is really making a run at $20,000 this morning.
Chris Torres, the creator of the iconic internet meme Nyan Cat, is apprehensive about getting involved in the world of meme coins, despite issuing a number of NFT collections in the past.
The artist told Decrypt it’s because he views meme coins as the “wild west.”
Still, Torres has claimed more than $700,000 in fees from the Bags token launchpad. It allows anyone to launch a token on the platform and assign royalties to a user on X. The platform has housed countless tokens sending royalties to T...

In the wake of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission formally closing its legal dispute against Ripple Labs Inc., the XRP Army believes it is confirmation that the group is on the “right side of history”—a mantra that’s been repeated among the community since 2020.
It stems from a blog post from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who said at the time: “We are not only on the right side of the law, but we will be on the right side of history.”
The SEC alleged that Ripple had participated in a $1...
