Bitcoin is now more valuable than Disney or McDonald’s

[Cordillerabit]

The price of bitcoin is racing toward an all-time high of $10,000 and shows no sign of slowing down.

The price of one bitcoin on several exchanges reached more than $9,700, a new high, on Monday morning, marking a 15 percent rise in the price since Friday.

The total value of the 16.7 million bitcoin units in circulation has now smashed through $160 billion, which puts its market capitalization higher than IBM’s, McDonald’s, or Disney’s. Despite the sustained price rise for the last 12 months, however, multiple experts still believe bitcoin is nothing more than a bubble ready to burst.
