Donald Trump's US election victory has been a big factor in Bitcoin hitting record numbers. 

The cryptocurrency has hit US$100 thousand in value – the highest trading price in its history. 

Bitcoin has grown by 70% since the start of the year, buoyed by political campaigns and an increased confidence in digital assets. 

Easy Crypto chief commercial officer Paul Quickenden told Mike Hosking the rise has transcended geopolitics. 

He says Trump has openly said he wants the US to be the world's crypto-capital, and both the UK and China want to get involved.
