THE price of Bitcoin hit almost 7,500 yuan (US$1,074) today, 219 percent surge from a year ago, which made the digital asset one of the most successful investment in the year of 2016.
The Bitcoin surpassed the level of 7,000 yuan during the New Year Holiday, as investors turned to the virtual currency for investment alternative, amid global economic uncertainties and the weakening yuan.
