The value of Bitcoin virtual currency triples yesterday. In the afternoon, it rose to $321 dollars per Bitcoin, which is a new record. The previous record was set on Wednesday, about $272 dollars per Bitcoin. Over the last week, the price of the Bitcoin grew by 44.6 percent due to the fact that recently the awareness of Bitcoin currency has greatly increased since more and more people know Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a type of peer-to-peer digital virtual currency introduced in 2008. It is not controlled by banks but relies on networks between computers. People also can exchange Bitcoin into real currency like US dollars and Euros.

In the past, investors like to store gold because they think gold never depreciate. After gold price dropped tremendously in April, 2013, they start to whether they should switch their attention on Bitcoin. It is safer and global. The owner has his/her own right to use it and can access it through any computer in the world. Because the number of Bitcoin is limited, we can predict that Bitcoin currency definitely will appreciate in the future. Its future is clear and bright.
