For the first time in 20 months, the value of cryptocurrency has appreciated to $500 per bitcoin after the auction of 24,518 confiscated bitcoins. The price per bitcoin was the highest at over $1,100 in November 2013. Experts believe that this value is going to increase over time as more and more people are confident about this virtual money.

Costs paid to bitcoin miners will decrease, reducing number if individual miners, slowing the rate of Bitcoins entering the market, increasing the value of bicoins already in circulation. Traders are now buying bitcoins hoping that its value would rise in the near future. The use of digital currency has been made legitimate by reputable banks and retailers.

Also 24,518 worth £8 million will be auctioned next month in Australia since the market is currently stable. They will be sold off in sets of 2,000 to prevent fluctuation in the market.
