Bitcoin becomes 2015's best performing currency
Bitcoin has had one of its best weeks since August 2014, recording a staggering 28.5% increase in market cap as the price of bitcoin reached US$500, at its peak on November 5. However, the price of bitcoin has since dropped by nearly 20%, consolidating around US$400.
Despite the recent price decline, bitcoin has become the world’s best performing currency in 2015. The digital only alternative to traditional fiat currencies has overtaken the Indonesian rupiah, Russian Ruble, Malaysian ringgit and Brazilian real, which have all recorded substantial gains against the U.S dollar.
