Bitcoin has pass through many stage, limitations, attack and forks issue but its price keep on increasing from inception till now. At this time Last year bitcoin price was $450 but today it is $1245 that was over 180% increment in just a year. This is what we call blessing, that is making progress in the face of strong opposition!!
Even after all the mess the government have started showing support for the Bitcoins.
And.. though it's facing strong ban and stuff..
There are countries that are Keen on regulating it since they are grabbing taxes from Bitcoins.
I think it's helping the economy grow as a whole
It's Decreasing the.. unemployment in many regions and that's incredible.
That's something the government isn't able to do..till now.
