It is already up 17 percent in 2021 even before the U.S. stock market managed to open. Last year, it skyrocketed 304 percent.    

As reported by U.Today, Bitcoin touched the $30,000 level yesterday before continuing to break other milestones in mere minutes.

While alternative cryptocurrencies outstripped Bitcoin in the first quarters of the previous years, this doesn't appear to be the case in 2021. It is currently the best-performing cryptocurrency of the past 24 hours, with Litecoin, the altcoin that is known for its high correlation with the king, comes in second place with a 12 percent uptick.

The ETH/BTC pair is down almost eight percent since the start of the year, with Ethereum struggling to catch up with Bitcoin's enormous rally.
