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.
Ofcourse it has a risk, because once you put a capital with a business it will always have a risk. Just like when you put a money in bitcoin and hold it for a long time. Because bitcoin is very unstable and we cannot say when bitcoin will increase or decreased, it is our choice if we want to take risks.
