Re: Realistically, how do you think bitcoin will perform this year?
So, as many are well aware, Bitcoin saw a huge rise in 2017, peaking over $20,000 in some regions;
Of course, it would be tremendous to see those kinds of gains again in 2018, but with regulatory pressure coming down hard, bitcoin has in more difficult waters than ever before.
With segwit acceptance increasing, and the advent of the lightning network likely by year end, how does bitcointalk think BTC will perform this year, and why?
Because of the huge rise in 2017, I think Bitcoin price rise this year would not be that big but I am sure this year would probably be one of the most significant for Bitcoin because if lightning network really fixed slow transactions, then Bitcoin investors as well as users will have more confidence in it. Overall I think Bitcoin would not perform badly this year but it won't perform greatly in terms of price rise.Of course, it would be tremendous to see those kinds of gains again in 2018, but with regulatory pressure coming down hard, bitcoin has in more difficult waters than ever before.
