Based on the current status as well as the potential that Bitcoin has, it is possible to predict Bitcoin in the near future. However, it is not entirely accurate, it is still just a guess. Maybe you're right, its future depends a lot on its popularity and popularity. This is very important and Bitcoin is gaining. If Bitcoin is approved by the government and the central bank, it is also very important for it.
I suppose you mean the Fed, as the central bank. Fed is not looking at Bitcoin positively. According to some rumors, a currency called Fedcoin has emerged, which can take place in 2018. In addition, European Union countries may issue their own digital currency in the future.
They will not adopt but instead they will make their own, actually they have to regulate bitcoin so once and for all we find security in using it.
As long as they will not declare it as illegal currency that will make us holders happy with it, I am looking forward that the government will have a uniform implementation for their regulation since bitcoin is only one currency.
