Bitcoin Soars as Miners Support New Blockchain Upgrade

Bitcoin was up nearly 6 percent Tuesday to $2320.06 following a dip in recent days.

CNBC reports that several of the largest bitcoin miners (who create new bitcoins and support the blockchain), including AntPool, BitClub, Bixin, BTC.com and BitFury, have started showing their support for bitcoin improvement proposal (BIP) 91, by adding a piece of code to each new block of bitcoins they generate.

Bitcoin now accounts for between 17 percent and 25 percent of online gambling transactions in the North American market.
