At the head of this parade, as before, stands Bitcoin (Bitcoin). Although in 2017 there were currencies that grew faster, of course, it is one of the leading crypto-currency assets for the entire period of observation. Recall that almost eight years ago, he began to trade at $ 0.003 for a coin, and in December, up to $ 20,000 - a thousand invested in March 2010, today would have turned into billions!
In addition, bitcoin became known as the first traded crypto currency, and it is most widely distributed as a means of payment. It is to him that we are obliged to popularize the technology of blockade.
Bitcoin has risen in price against the background of the fall of the dollar, which is now very cheap relative to other world currencies. The weak dollar is probably like Trump as it increases the competitiveness of American industry, but it provides monetary savings, so investors are not very happy. Before, when the dollar fell, they, trying to secure themselves, bought gold, but recently for many its place was occupied by bitcoin.
Why exactly bitcoin? The fact is that the limiting number of bitcoins is limited to 21 million coins, that is, it is the final resource, like gold. And given the 1300-percent growth last year, it was not difficult to convince investors to keep money in bitcoin, and not in gold.
