“The rise of Bitcoin is not happening in a vacuum. It seems the value of almost all cryptocurrencies (and there are several dozen of them) has been growing rapidly over the last week. According to coinmarketcap.com, which monitors cryptocurrencies, Litecoin, a similar but more easily created currency, has risen 60 percent in the last 24 hours alone, bringing its market capitalization to $644 million. Another currency called PeerCoin is up 30 percent since Tuesday, now worth more than $75 million. Namecoin, Feathercoin, Megacoin, Infinitecoin and others are all up double-digit percentage points, too.”
