I still recommend Bitcoin to all my friends, customers and family. In my opinion, some of the risks holding bitcoin on a long term perspective has decreased in the past few months. All around the world, financial institutions are going for blockchain technology and accepting Bitcoin as a trustworthy payment method for their products. Guessing PayPal could also adapt this strategy and start to offer wallets to merchants.
I also recommend btc for holding. Big company starting to invest in btc. I think, They not publish their investing news to publicly everytime. Lot of companies starting to invest in btc, People inspired to invest in btc from them. It’s will be a major reason of btc pump.
Could possibly, they're not gonna be happy if public could see how they diversify their investment and to invest in crypto that is considered as high risk by some could make controversy within the company itself not to mention the public.
It's certainly good for holding aswell seeing its growth from the chart, people keep focusing on the pump and dump that happens quite short term but forget how bitcoin has performed over a decade.
