BTC US$79k. Bitcoin surges 23%, best weekly gain in 3 years

Crypto markets roared back to life this week as Bitcoin surged by US$15,000 in under two days. It finished the week up 22.6% for BTC's best weekly gain in three years and the highest-ever US dollar value increase. It was a dramatic demonstration of Bitcoin's "rule of ten days", which refers to the fact that historically, if you held Bitcoin only on its ten best days each year, you'd see an average 162% gain, while holding it during the other 355 days would see an average loss of 14%. Overnight, Bitcoin touched the US$80K mark for the first time in 113 days, and debate has begun in earnest about whether it marks the start of a new cycle. Bitcoin is currently trading at US$78,836.
