For instance, dear Bitcoin’s fortunes soared to a remarkable zenith of nearly $126,000 come October’s end, having initiated the year with a more modest average of $93,500. However, as December wore on, it did trade forunder a value below its January commencement by a most conspicuous sum, thus dampening spirits as perhaps an unplanned tea party in a deluge would.
