Im one of those who thinks that the last 4 years of this second decade of the 21 century will decide the future of the Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
Why? well depends of various factors like: How good/bad the private/public companies will see the Cryptocurrencies and of course the goverments.
Im very worried about the point of view of the goverments specialy when a few hours ago the finance ministry of Russia decide to propose a law that will ban the BTC and cryptocurrencies in Russia, of course this law will penalize those who make any business with BTC.
Normal people seems to be accepting BTC without problems, private companies too but got their "reservations" about it, banks (mostly private ones) are studying the use of Blockchain technology.
"Some people" are saying that BTC has been use for bad pruposes like terrorism, money laundry, etc and the goverments seems to be accepting this kind of statement, this could be truth at the same could be not, but an "easily mining money" its not something that any goverment can see with good eyes.
Again, this last 4 years will decide the future of the crypto world, i dearly hope in good way.
Now the price still stable at good price, even bitcoin has banned on some country, the adoption of the bitcoin still increase, the most suprised government in some countries and some economic organization are interested on the technology behind bitcoin, yeah the blockchain, I just hope that government specially in my country won't banned bitcoin, just regulate it is enough for us
