At the time of writing, on April 13, 2021 at 9:00 PM PDT, Bitcoin momentarily hit a record high of $64,001.15, a bit past $64,000 ($64K) — the first time since its inception 12 years ago on January 3, 2009.

Right before, at 8:45 PM PDT, Bitcoin reached $63,956 momentarily.

For some reason, it seems like it was a momentary glitch at $64,000 — but it indeed happened.

Early in the day, not many minutes before, the Bitcoin cryptocurrency reached $63,500 while being tracked on Robinhood Crypto. With the Coinbase IPO launching on Wednesday, April 14, the buzz for Bitcoin has been raging at peak levels.

Experts have opinions that range far and wide regarding the future of the cryptocurrency

Bitcoin will reach a price-point into the millions? To a high during 2021 that will subside with a burst for some time?

Will you be investing in Coinbase when the IPO launches on Wednesday?

Or will you wait for the dust to settle? Some say the valuation is extremely high.

From Coinbase to Bitcoin, prices will continue to rise and fall — so you only want to assume as much risk as comfortable. Did we foresee the consequences of the pandemic? Do we know what the next day will hold, exactly?

Invest responsibly using traditional methods, mix in a bit of risk, and know Bitcoin is here to stay for good — whether a burst comes or not.

Bitcoin is at $64,000+ now — and we’ll see where it goes by tomorrow!

Update: After 10:00 PM, Bitcoin continued to surge past $64,500.
