I really think that is possible and so do a lot of really smart people. With futures next month, it sets the stage for ETFs...and ETFs are what the general public will see as their opportunity to get into bitcoin. Eventually, financial firms are going to need to facilitate investment into bitcoin, as their customers will see the gains and learn more about it. Bitcoin itself will keep improving with lightening network, privacy options, etc. It's really exciting and I agree that 2018 is going to be fun to watch. It's never a straight shot upward though, it's always going to be bumpy, but, at least with btc, the best devs are involved and the greatest number of people are invested in its success. It's the best and safest bet in the speculative crypto market, imo.
