In future more and more countries will accept bitcoin and many investors will invest in bitcoin, is a matter of time for bitcoin to have a high value like over $5000 or $10.000. there are people who believe it will be $500.000 i always Remember this prediction because it makes me laugh.

This is just reward for Japan for their bold decision to acknowledge Bitcoin as a currency. I think the first time when this was
announced, we still had scaling problems and the network was slow. Now, people are seeing what Bitcoin can be... because
the scaling challenge has been temporarily resolved. I hope other countries learn something from this and follow Japan's
example. Bitcoin has been pushed recently by spammers to sabotage it's growth and we are still standing strong. Well Done
to the miners and the developers who were working hard to accomplish this.

Bitcoin vaults to new record above $4K, boosted by Japan and multiplying its value fourfold
urday, boosted by strong Japanese demand on its way to multiplying its value fourfold this year.
Bitcoin traded as high as $4,000.93, more than 7 percent higher near $3,941 in Saturday dealings, according to CoinDesk.
The digital currency has now quadrupled in 2017, and is up about 40 percent in August alone. Bitcoin's market value is now around $64 billion, up about $10 billion in the last week.
Bitcoin trade in Japanese yen accounted for nearly 46 percent of global trade volume, up from about a third a day ago, according to CryptoCompare. US-dollar bitcoin trade accounted for about 25 percent, according to CryptoCompare. Bitcoin trade in Chinese yuan and South Korean won accounted for about 12 percent each.
Bitcoin rose in the last week, mirroring gold's climb amid a global selloff in stocks and bonds. Rising worries about North Korea's nuclear threat have sent investors flocking to perceived safe-havens and alternative assets.
Analysts have also noted increased investor interest, especially from institutional investors, after bitcoin successfully survived an Aug. 1 split into bitcoin and bitcoin cash.
This week, Fidelity launched a feature allowing customers to also view their Coinbase bitcoin holdings. The currency also got a boost from Goldman Sachs, which in a report released this week said it is harder for institutional investors to ignore cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

That said, bitcoin's future is still uncertain. The digital currency could potentially split again in November, when the second phase of an upgrade proposal called Segregated Witness is implemented.
Chris Burniske, author of the upcoming book, "Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond," also noted a sharp pullback in price would not be surprising, given bitcoin's rapid surge.
He noted on Twitter that upticks in the bitcoin price and Google searches have historically led to price corrections.

Another digital currency, ethereum, traded nearly 5 percent higher near $315.
