Bitcoin just smashed its all-time high, soaring past $73,000 like it was defying gravity. Even the boys in traditional finance are starting to see the light.

While Bitcoin's busy channeling its inner Eeyore, a handful of altcoins are throwing a raging party.

Litecoin's price jumped 9.25% on March 5th, the biggest daily jump for these sleepyheads on record.

The total market cap is sitting pretty at a cool $2.66 trillion, and Bitcoin is the king of the castle again at 51.56%.

Ether is on a tear, pushing the price past $3,630 – a sweet 18.75% jump from its recent low just over a week ago.

Bitcoin took a surprising 4% tumble, failing to recapture the glory of that milestone.

This week in crypto was a rollercoaster ride that would make even the most seasoned gambler queasy.
