Records are meant to be broken and just as they say, history repeats itself. Well, this time though, history is created by the Bitcoin as the price value of the latter has finally surpassed the much anticipated $2000 mark.

The Bitcoin price is looming around $2138 at the time of writing and it’s all set to break new records.

Reaching the $2000 mark, the BTC price has shown a phenomenal growth of more than 125% this year, taking its price from as low as $891 to an unprecedented level. For the past several weeks, the BTC price was enjoying a steady uprise and on last friday, it joined the $1900 club.

After that, it took just three weeks for the Cryptocurrency to witness a staggering growth of more than 50% taking the price to its all time high.

Bitcoin Remains Unaffected of The Scaling Dilemma

So much has been talked about the scaling problems in Bitcoin and the block size limitations. People were concerned that the persisting scaling problems in Bitcoin will lead the cryptocurrency towards its havoc. The size limit of Blocks (1 MB) is supposed to be insufficient to scale the increased number of transactions. That’s the main reason why transaction fees is rising drastically and the transactions are also being delayed. But as it turns out, these scaling limitations don’t seem to have any major impact on the Bitcoin as the latter is continuously marching towards new heights.
