Bitcoin Hits $10,000 in Accelerating Recovery From Plunge

Bitcoin looks to be proving the naysayers wrong once again.

The largest cryptocurrency breached $10,000 for the first time in two weeks, capping an almost 70 percent rally since the virtual coin hit $5,922 on Feb. 6. The digital token’s plunge from a record high of almost $20,000 in mid-December had renewed concern about the viability of what advocates consider a new asset class.
