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.
No, holding is not risky, but seeing the market price is also necessary, because with it you can make a decision on what price you decide to sell it.
