Bitcoin is once again closing in on record highs, topping $18,000 for the first time since December 2017 in a return to the mania that made it a household name. The cryptocurrency surged as much as 4.8% to $18,480 on Wednesday, leaving it less than 10% away from reaching its intraday peak of $19,511, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. “We should have many people selling at these levels, especially those that bought at the top in 2017-18,” said Vijay Ayyar, head of business development with crypto exchange Luno.
