LONDON, 3 March 2017 – US and global financial news outlet CNBC today quotes BullionVault comment on the news that crypto-currency Bitcoin has now risen above 1 ounce of gold per unit.
"Price is just a number," says BullionVault's Adrian Ash, "and overtaking one ounce of gold doesn't in itself mean much.
"More important is that bitcoin is making new highs. That signals both a growing appetite for alternative assets and also that crypto currency is finding new, perhaps unwary, buyers."
