The future of Bitcoin is bright and it's a good news that big companies are getting into it. That will even give hope to people that Bitcoin is real and it's trustworthy. All we need is for the government to accept it and help the people get into the system. With Bitcoin the world will be one.
I think BTC Futures Trading is NOT a positive thing for bitcoin. All companies and hedge funds do not trade btc directly, they are trading contracts. This is the limit for bitcoin market demand. TBT prices will skyrocket very quickly, if there is no futures t.
I do not believe in Ripple. Altcoin this will die after 2-3 years.
Cryptocurrencies in the future will be stronger and will upgrade to the highest possible place as these are the new mode of currency and transactions through these sources are frictionless. These cryptocurrencies brought evolution in the market and this evolution is spreading with the passage of time. The demand of some currencies are more than that of fiat currencies and in future the high demand will make these currencies stable and at the highest possible place.
