Bitcoin Tops $1,000 For the First Time 371
An anonymous reader writes with this bit from The Next Web "Bitcoin hit a new milestone today, passing the $1,000 mark for the first time. The virtual currency is currently trading above the four-digit figure, with its highest at $1,030 on Mt. Gox, one of the largest exchanges. Last week, Bitcoin's high for the day was $632. That means its trading value has surged 62.83 percent in a week, assuming we're looking at just its high points. That figure could of course rise even further if Bitcoin continues to push further up throughout the day."

Selling bitcoin now isn't tempting fate so much as cutting off your nose to spite your face.
At a sudden $1000 per bitcoin, that's a really generous return on spite.
