Ethereum has just reached a record all-time high price of $870, jumping 16.5% in the last few hours, boosting its market cap to a blistering $84 billion. Over $3 billion of Ethereum has been shifted around the crypto exchanges in the last 24 hours, or a huge 233,810 BTC worth.

There are 96,714,501 ETH in circulation right now, and my 1.4GH/s ETH mining farm is still going strong with the payout amounts continuing to swell.
