I'm not going to repeat everything I just typed in another post, but I do want to draw attention to that post by creating a thread dedicated to the idea. I posted my thoughts in the thread titled: "10,000 by 2018" or something like that. A lot of promising news surfacing today for cryptocurrency as a whole, and for Bitcoin above all else. If you're one of the people that feel like you've missed the boat already, so you're not investing in it, I get the feeling you will regret it and within the next 2 years be thinking to yourself that $4500 for 1 Bitcoin would be a wet dream if you had it to do over. The best thing since the 39 cent cheeseburgers at McDonalds.
Okay... much better than that actually.
Yes, most people would not have predicted a year ago that the price would hit $5000 within a year and it did. We also were going
on about Bitcoin not being scalable and now we have several forks focused on scaling. The Legacy bitcoin chain will come under
attack from all these forks, but it will survive, like it did all the previous times. {Bitcoin XT}
..... People will follow the most
secure fork and the merchants will follow them. { I feel, Bitcoin original is the safest bet... I do not trust the developers behind
the other forks }
