Bitcoin has been on a tear lately, powering above the $10,000 mark last weekend just under two months after crossing the $5,000 level and causing analysts and investors to ask whether this time really could be different.
The bitcoin price gained a further 5% over the last 24-hour trading period, hitting $11,350 per bitcoin on the Luxembourg-based Bitstamp exchange, and pushing the wider cryptocurrency market higher.
Now, 72-year-old veteran trader Peter Brandt, who made a name for himself by predicting bitcoin's incoming bear market in January 2018, has said bitcoin is taking "aim" at $100,000 and described the bitcoin market as "like no other".
