This time would be different.
For the past years:
- no media coverages
- fewer people only knows it
- fewer developers
- not so much resources available (infact only the whitepaper)
- massive liquidity issue
Lately:
- disrupting global financial operations
- frequent media coverage (cnbc)
- a lot of educational resources available
- lightning network, mast, mimble wimble, rsk
- futures market
- hash rate increase
- exponential growth rate
- we have witnessed that trying to bann bitcoin will only make it stronger
- under the radar of institutional investors.
Bitcoin will either rise or remain as it is but will not go back to the same value it have been once before. Certain factors like the development of this idea on many social media sites and consideration of some country of this digital currency affects its value in a very positive way.
