Such sharp fluctuations in the rate of internet money were predictable. The increase in Bitcoin's value is the result of the actions of speculators and the enormous enthusiasm of investors.

In addition, the Chinese portal Baidu (the equivalent of Google) has withdrawn the ability to pay with Bitcoin on its music service.
