This morning Bitcoin shot past $5,000, and is now hovering around $5,300 – up nearly 10% from yesterday.

It’s the first time the cryptocurrency has confidently shot past $5,000. Some exchanges saw the price hit $5,000 for a few minutes in September, but it only lasted for about 10 minutes, making today the first sustained movement past the historic milestone.
