Tech boffins who jumped on the Bitcoin bus early have even more reason to smile this morning: the cryptocurrency has rockeed past $12,000 in value. It has now attained a market cap of $200 billion. Here's what newbie investors need to know.

    If anyone cares to follow the prices, https://charts.bitcoin.com/ is a good source, albeit in US dollars. Click through to the various values, and you can tweak the parameters to localise what gets shown.
