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?

Hear about negative news in several country, i think this year more difficult than the last year 2017. For some reason, i hope bitcoin still strong as a primary crypto coins because we know crypto currency more restricted in several big country.
but we must has a positive thinking because who believes that bitcoin can raising up very fast at the end of 2017.
