Oh hell yeah. Bitcoin's back, baby.

After languishing in the depressing realm of the six thousands for what seemed like forever, the price of bitcoin has skyrocketed straight to the moon!

Well, skyrocketed past $7,000, anyway.

Yes, friends, it's time to join the hordes of true believers on Twitter and Reddit in celebration. And while you're at it, you definitely want to ignore the fact that last December, bitcoin briefly hit $19,000, which means that the current price is less than half of that. But you're not going to let a little thing like context get in the way of your fun, right?

Right. Let's start things off with r/Bitcoin, which celebrated the destruction of the so-called "7k wall."

And there's definitely nothing remotely ironic about this roller coaster that only goes up.

Also, it isn't a party without bitcoin choking out Warren Buffett!

Twitter also dropped some of the old-time favorites.

Meanwhile, presidential candidate John "I'll eat my own dick on TV if Bitcoin doesn't hit $1,000,000 by 2020" McAfee has been surprisingly quiet about this rally, but we should expect celebratory comments from him any time now.

Of course, those meddlesome nocoiners are trying to rain all over this cryptocurrency parade.

But don't let them yuck your yum! This price spike is totally organic, has nothing to do with fraud, and can only continue going up forever!

So bask in that sweet, sweet $7,000 feeling — it's not like it could all come crumbling down in the blink of an eye. Again.
