Bitcoin surpasses $100,000 amid possible early crypto action by Trump

The price of bitcoin topped $100,000 again early Friday as a pumped up cryptocurrency industry expects early action by Donald Trump when he’s sworn in as president next week.

Once a sceptic who said a few years ago that bitcoin seems like a scam, Trump has embraced digital currencies with a convert’s zeal. He’s launched a new cryptocurrency venture and vowed on the campaign trail to take steps early in his presidency to make the US into the crypto capital of the world.
