Well .. year-end holidays should be a fun time for everyone. But not for miners or Bitcoin investors. Because bitcoin prices fell quite hard, which is about 40% (more or less) in the middle of last week. although, in the second week of December 2017 Bitcoin has touched its highest level.
No reason to complain there: most miners or Bitcoin investors acquired their
BTC from 2009 to November 2017 (look at market cap) and are very happy with a
BTC/$ rate at least doubled.
Usually the price of bitcoin fall during the holiday season and this year it is no exception,we might see some growth next year but i do not expect the same level of price rise we saw in 2017,because the rise was immense and no one expected that,but huge investments from wall street and other heavy investors made this growth possible.
Ofcourse, all possibilities can occur, especially if we see the possibility of entry of large investors. and at the end.. the development the bitcoin price will reach a level never prediction by anyone.
