This year has been a bit challenging for bitcoins as well as Ether to survive. Bitcoins are facing a quite low price now and also i think that most of the investors have taken their money off bitcoins.
Here is the graph showing us the price for bitcoins from 2009 to 2017

We all know that bitcoins really pumped a lot in 2017 but from the starting of 2018 bitcoins are low. A lot of FUD was been created and bitcoins really faced a lot of difficulties. Price for bitcoins at the starting of 2018 has been low similar to the year 2017.
I really hope that the price for bitcoins can again show us immense growth as it showed in 2017.
I don't think the price of bitcoin will repeat 2017 prices in 2018. I am inclined to believe that bitcoin will start to grow only at the beginning of 2019. Roughly, when will Chinese new year, can even after him. But these are my assumptions. If we talk in General about the growth of bitcoin, it will definitely grow.
