Bitcoin peaks above $5,000 for first time
Bitcoin has crossed the $5,000 (£3,862) threshold for the first time. The virtual currency peaked at $5,103.91 in the early hours of Saturday, according to CoinDesk's price index. The record high helped push the total value of publicly traded crypto-currencies - including Ethereum and the Bitcoin-offshoot Bitcoin Cash - to more than $176bn. However, there has since been a sell-off. At time of writing, Bitcoin was 12% off its peak, at $4,485.
According to coindesk.com, one Bitcoin is worth $4085.63 at this moment (20170905_023428 UTC).

For example, "China Bans Bitcoin" would be some actual news:
