Bitcoin has been giving the Republican tax plan a run for its money when it comes to who has been dominating the news over the past week.

As of Jan. 1, the cryptocurrency was trading at $960.79 per coin. Around 4 p.m. Monday, it was selling in the $11,500 range, an increase of more than 10 times in less than a year.
