Bitcoin Has a Good Friday, Posts Modest Gains
It was a good Friday for bitcoin, as the market started moving up again after a slow couple of days. Prices for a single bitcoin were around $2,855 as of mid-day on several exchanges, a bump from the previous day’s $2,750 level.
The day’s highest single-coin price topped the magic $3,000 mark, a level also attained earlier this week and marking an all-time high for bitcoin.
Friday was a mixed bag for other cryptocurrencies. Ethereum’s ETH was up more than six percent to $273, Dash was at $147, and Monero stayed in the $55 range. Litecoin hovered around $29.73, with Ripple’s XRP down slightly.

Buoyed by the arrival of the long-awaited decision to make changes to expands its blocks, the bitcoin markets had revved in mid-May. Bitcoin has doubled in price since it first topped $1300 in March. After a brief dip into $900 territory, it’s been mostly blue skies and elevating price levels ever since.
Increased worldwide trading, Japan’s legalization of bitcoin as a monetary unit, Korea’s startup frenzy, and improved outlooks from Russia and India toward easing regulations in those countries have been cited as reasons for the long-term rally.
