What do you think to the bitcoin prices in 2018? It will continue increasing up or continue declining down?

If increasing up, what value do you expect? Same if it is declining down?

I think since we're entering on main stream financial system ( such as CME Group, etc ) we going to see more debate on privacy, money laundering regulations, etc

Criminals use banks as well
Machon conceded that criminals would inevitably use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies - but that doesnt stop them from using banks either. Using that is an easy excuse to infringe on people's privacy, according to the former MI5 official:
Any crackdown on our rights of privacy on the internet always has an excuse that it is trying to stop money laundering or trying to stop terrorism or pedophiles or whatever. I think, probably the vast majority of users of Bitcoin are doing it legitimately, they just have a legitimate concern to uphold their right to privacy as well.
