A little over a week since then, as the bitcoin round for the first time broke the mark of $6000. On Sunday evening the Bitcoin set another record – $6306. After that, the price of the cryptocurrency fell back slightly, and at the time of writing the news the course was around $6150. From the beginning, bitcoin has shown about 530% growth relative to the U.S. dollar. It seems that investors are already reeling from negative last week. We will remind that on 24 October, the result of hard forks (from the English. fork – a fork, a division circuit of the blockchain) has created a new cryptocurrency called Bitcoin Gold (BTG). This is not the first case of separation of bitcoin – in early August, thus there was Bitcoin Cash (BCH), now fourth in terms of capitalization cryptocurrency in the world (about $5.5 billion).
