Current Market cap is 120b $ (actually real market cap much lower than that due to lost btc and so on); that could be 1000 people with 120m$ hidden. Anyone who has approximately that amount of btc would be very able to buy the market would it temporarily drop significantly below 5000$ per btc, due to the very limited (and shrinking) actual supply of bitcoin and availability in the exchanges.
I think what we witnessed in last december will happen again and at a greater extent. Don't ask me when, but that's a given.
Bitcoin has been chosen.
Why? Possibly positioning.
Price won't give a fuck on whether it can be used everyday to buy stuff. Its purpose it for wealthy billionaires to keep part of their wealth inaccessible through offline wallets.
Whether tx take 1 hours to go and cost 10 bucks each.
Whether the nodes get a little bit more or a little bit less centralized.
All that matters is the one reason I stated above.
Everything else is just smoke for sardines.
actually the price of bitcoin depends on traders and investors, we cannot predict clearly how the price of bitcoin will be in the future. but we can judge from the development of bitcoin so far, and I am very confident that the price of bitcoin will rise higher.
