Last week, Bitcoin decided to give us all whiplash. It shot up to nearly $74,000 on Friday, only to tumble back down to the low $70,000s before the day was out. It’s like it got cold feet at the altar. The weekend was all about consolidation (read: catching its breath), but this week, it’s back at it, jumping higher than a kangaroo on Red Bull. This time, it even hit $74,400-briefly, mind you, before deciding it was too much excitement and pulling back to $73,200. Still, it’s up 7% on the week, which is more than most of us can say about our New Year’s resolutions.
