Bitcoin jumps by record 21% after miners' split
Add BT as a preferred source
New York
BITCOIN extended gains to a record as the cryptocurrency makes strides in putting the scaling debate behind it. The digital currency jumped as much as 21 per cent to an unprecedented US$3,423.37, even after bitcoin's division last week. The debate has revolved around how to upgrade its underlying technology.
Most of the bitcoin ecosystem supports a solution called SegWit2x, while those backing a different scaling mechanism called Bitcoin Cash split into a different blockchain last week.
