Yes it already secured it's position in the year 2017, many people are now days looking some thing new in their daily life so my though is government should elaborate bitcoin technology through out the world wide and make announcement that bitcoin can use able like gold. Bitcoin is completely digital currency and is limited we cannot able to mine more than that like gold.
I think bitcoin movements is a lot faster this 2017 we saw a huge acceptance in the market with the use of bitcoin I guess its about time they appreciate its use as a medium of exchange in the market, and a lot of people and business are really looking forward to the potential of bitcoin
As we closed the book of 2017 and enter a new chapter of 2018, its good to read the past comments here and how people react through the months and how they predict the price. One thing is certain, BTC is surging and will likely to continue like this for the next years. Like the adoption of gold and some reserve in the early days, there will be a price discovery and BTC will be one of the most expensive currency in the world. Uncontrolled supply, decentralize, security all in one package. I bet that it will reach 50k dollars in 3 months.
