As indicated by predictions bitcoin should have achieved 15k$ by end of 2017 and fall in first week of jan 2018
In any case, shockingly its effectively reached 17k$ in 2017.
Should I purchase or hold my btc?I don't plan to sell at any point in the near future.
Holding bitcoin is sometimes better than trying to trade it

Especially, when you know you wont move it. But please store your BTC on wallet, which you have access to: best both seed and priv key. Also you will be given tozen of airdrops through forks

Look at BCH. But most of theme will be useless, just for sale
