Bitcoin Sees Sharp Upside

March 3, 2014 1:29 PM EST
Bitcoin is seeing wild volatility again Monday as investors in the virtual currency continue to weigh last week's Mt Gox bankruptcy versus wider merchant acceptance and newer technology. Bitcoin last traded at $668, up 17.2% in the last 12 hours. It is off the highs of $710 and well off the lows of $566.
