Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that is not managed by banks and agencies. So it has a high risk if investing. Yes, maybe Bitcoin is more likely to be compared to gold, but in terms of the advantages that Bitcoin has gained superior. Crypto assets are very volatile, Bitcoin can increase rapidly as in 2017, reaching the price of US $20,000. So if you're asking about secure assets? Bitcoin assets are unsafe. This investment is at risk and you should be smart to become a trader, although at risk is able to make a big profit.
To me that in the year 2017, Bitcoin could reach its peak. So I'm sure if Bitcoin can return to its peak in the future.
