The cryptocurency, the world's largest by market capitalization, reached as much as $4,000.93 during the session, according to figures provided by CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index (BPI).
At the time of report, Bitcoin prices had fallen back somewhat, retreating to $3,912.18, additional BPI figures show.
[Ed note: Investing in cryptocoins or tokens is highly speculative and the market is largely unregulated. Anyone considering it should be prepared to lose their entire investment.]
As for what Bitcoin prices will do next, nobody knows. Some believe that cryptocurrencies are simply a fad, while others believe that Bitcoin will go "to the moon."
In the end, only time will tell.
