No one can say whether Bitcoin, in its current form, will survive in the long term.

At 900 € at the beginning of 2017, 16 700 € at the end of the year, fallen back to 4 000 € in recent days, not a week goes by without the price of Bitcoin making headlines. Describing it as a speculative bubble, many Nobel Prize winners, central bankers and politicians regularly predict the bursting of a cryptocurrencies that would not be based on any tangible assets.

It must be noted that the latter has fluctuated considerably since its creation in 2009. But it does resist the premonitions of these experts. In fact, a technological revolution is underway behind this new kind of virtual asset.

Due to its volatility, bitcoin is not currently very advantageous in more stable countries using the euro or the dollar for example. These currencies have the bonus of seniority and liquidity. Of course, Bitcoin in its current form could sink, but nothing prevents us from imagining that it would stabilize and become a tangible alternative to the extortion of funds organized by central banks.
