This will certainly be the beginning of the new era of blockchain tech.
2017 is a year where it able to attract people attention into bitcoin
And for now 2018, people already aware and I feel that there will be a lot of new investor that invest on bitcoin ! I won't be surprise if bitcoin able reach another highest value on 2018
That is exactly the case. In those past years, the people's awareness toward bitcoin had been very small until the price reached 9k$ in 2017. And now, it is beyond 10k$. I also will not be surprised if bitcoin reaches another high value in 2018 because it really is unpredictable.
Added to that statement, there are many people who are sticking to bitcoin because they are sure that it is going to be number one. Moreover, many new people are starting to know about bitcoin and to invest in it.
