Before it was just hype but now it is about a global decentralised currency with real world usage. When economies on a national scale begin to fall apart only bitcoin can save them.
We all know this but the thread is discussing about those that do invest without right knowledge were the market is and were it is heading to. It is very important we should be able to separate between hype and reality. Those that invested at the end of 2017 do so because of how good the testimony of those that invested in January or February of 2017 and hold till the end of the year! If you are trying to be just with the market it is very important you invest based on market conditions and after proper analysis of the market and invest base on those analysis and not those hype.
