bitcoin is worth 180% more since 15/6/17 (last year), however all media and news portals say that bitcoin is dying, a 180% performance in just one year is extraordinary, where you will find a performance like this ? ... because the media and news portals want to see bitcoin dead? ... in my opinion bitcoin is more alive than ever, and I will continue to hold my cryptocurrencies very strong.
You're right, many people hate bitcoin and said bitcoin will dead especially fraud from the banks.
I'm sure won't see bitcoin reach it's success because it can be treaten for them.
