Cars were considered as one of the dangerous invention when it was first invented.

Many used to think that internet is just for computer gigs and not for common people in past.

People used to only shop with paper cash and they used to worry about getting their bank account or credit card hacked and still many people from developing countries think like that.

Bitcoin is still in primitive stage like all of the above invention so people are just afraid of bitcoin or whole crypto thing, but sooner or later crypto will revolutionize the way we make financial transaction and how we send money across the globe.

In my opinion I think Bitcoin can subvert traditional bank, there are a lot of countries afraid about this case so they're trying to find out the solution to prevent this case happen in the future, some countries legalized Bitcoin and their Banks also accept Bitcoin too but almost countries often trying to ban Bitcoin to prevent Bitcoin subvert traditional Bank and my country is not a exception, right after a university in my country announced that they will accept Bitcoin for tuition, the goverment also announced that they will ban Bitcoin in next year and anyone whom still trying to use Bitcoin and cryptocurrency will have to go to jail or pay at least 10k$ for forfeit

Yeah its just crazy, the price of bitcoin is rising to 7300 now. What a year and what a day so far. I bet it will cross 8000 or even 9000 before the coming fork.

Cryptocurrency and the blockchain technology are undeniable the future, 2017 has illustrated that quite a bit. Before mobile phones were a thing people hated them and claimed they would never use them but here we are in a time where perhaps 75% of the population owns one. Mainstream peeps. Hopefully bitcoin will still have a leading point when that happens to cryptocurrency. With the recent trends ten thousand dollars is a very probable milestone going into 2018. Time will tell if we will hit it.

Bitcoin is almost guaranteed to be in a bubble period right now, I would be surprised if there was nothing that pops the bubble sometime in the future, but you never know. There might be a constant rise and then a small pop later, it might never pop at all, the fact of the matter is, this is insane right now and it's surprising that it has taken this path.

I wouldn't have put money on Bitcoin rocketing up to $7k over the course of just a few days if you asked me two weeks ago,, but I guess I should start putting money down on some of these predictions since they always seem to be right, and my conservative estimates are often wrong.

Banking in a traditional way has been long here since an era and we witnessed that old aged people are stuck to these systems and may/will always be.
Bitcoin, being especially used by youth, is now taking over all the age groups and the factors are the market moves that subverted the game of all other assets and dragged all such money into Bitcoins. But I believe that it will be a very long journey and to remove traditional banking or to convert it to something new, Bitcoin needs to stabilize and that will only happen when the value reaches a level where buying it will become very hard and it will become extremely priceless just like Gold.

This year bitkoin really made a rapid leap in the course, having increased in price by more than seven times. This greatly affected the economy of all countries, since tens and hundreds of millions of dollars were invested in the crypto currency. In this regard, the states began to study the crypto currency, trying to classify it according to standard models, but judging by the decisions made, the state authorities of different countries will not be able to come to a single opinion on the issues of crypto currency exchange for a long time. The same applies to attempts to regulate the crypto currency and introduce a profit tax on this activity. The solutions are also diverse, from the prohibition even to have a crypto currency, to its full acceptance as a means of payment. One thing is clear - bitcoin and another crypto currency has seriously declared itself and enters the stage of its official recognition by various states.

Make it 10K 

2017's growth ratio of bitcoin has been phenomenal. As predicted, the price would reach $8k in two days. A massive growth in short span. The last 7 days have been the green days for bitcoins. Almost $1550 have increased in just a week. Good go bitcoin and its team.

Bitcoin has received a lot of exposure in the media this year. The meteoric rise has not gone unnoticed with the financial press. This has led to many new buyers entering into bitcoin helping to push the price. The idea of free coins with the forks also increases demand.
