Financial "experts" have been predicting over $100k every year since for years now, they've never been right before so there's no real reason to give any weight to these predictions. Bitcoin is as likely to go back to $50k than it is to go to $70k, let alone go to $130k.
Well atleast their prediction isn't really far off considering many these so called financial experts have predicted bitcoin to go as far as $100K from when the price of bitcoin was below $10K and we're already more than halfway to go here. It's not like their prediction should be very accurate right? there's always some miss
I won’t really say that it is being helpful in our daily lives, because most of us here don’t make use of bitcoin for our daily needs, mostly what we are making use of is the fiat and nothing more than that. And if we decide to make use of bitcoin in making a purchase it is going to be something that we do once in a while and not on a steady basis. But as for merchants accepting Bitcoin, you can find lots of them online if you search for them.
For example there is Overstock, although I think they mostly deal on Homesgoods, especially furniture. Then there is purse.io that people uses for making different purchase. There might be less of them, but they are available.
I think there's these niche like VPS, domain, dedicated server that usually offers discount for using cryptocurrency though I know that bitcoin's fee is kind of too high for making a purchase and all but for transaction above $1K bitcoin could be very useful not to mention it avoids us of having problem dealing with banks or any corporation that have payment services.
