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.
Perhaps now you have answered yourself, btc prices are growing again. But even if btc has risen, keeping the coin at a discount is a risk, but it's the simplest way for you to get back the money you lost.
