There was a story on the BBC News site about it crossing $10,000 just... well, today, actually.
Part of me is disappointed that I missed out on an opportunity to make an awful lot of money quickly when I wondered about buying some a couple of years ago and decided it was too dicey.
But then part of me thinks anything that has gone up in on-paper (on-screen?) value by an order of magnitude this year, and now roughly doubled in just the past month alone, is still surely being carried by pure hype, and some people are going to lose an awful lot of what they thought they had if it turns and they try to sell and find they can't.
