Sunday Moon: Bitcoin Rises Above $700

Sunday, June 12, 2016, was noteworthy for bitcoin’s skyrocketing. At the moment of writing, the cryptocurrency price has surpassed $700 at exchanges like Huobi and OKCoin.

At the moment of writing, an average price stands for $696.80, according to Coinmarketcap.

Keeping in mind the forthcoming reward halving, Lightning Network integration and overall development of the industry, the cryptocurrency may break yet another record by surpassing $1,000 in a few weeks, some experts say.
