In today's market, with the current dismal state of financial affairs, like the U.S government shutdown, the sky is the limit for crypto currency. At the same time, don't be fooled by any speculation you may see or hear, as Edgar Allan Poe said it best, "Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear". Just take a look at the current bear market, it must be down for some reason, no?
  The only reason why Bitcoin went as high as it did, was because the influx of money pouring into the market, plus major manipulation from the whalers. The bubble burst because it was artificially inflated, not being a true reflection of what it actually represented. Many jumped on the hype train, thinking it would moon, and ended up losing a lot.
