In 2018, we are having a lot of issues relating to cryptocurrencies and most of these issues are regulations and governments trying to centralized Bitcoin by establishing control over it.
I am thinking if Bitcoin can actually fight on as we can see from the pricing of recent that Bitcoin has been dropping and it is finding it difficult to recover. How far can Bitcoin go? Has governments using the tools' of regulation to control Bitcoin pricing working for them? Your opinion will be appreciated and if you make a good view about what is happening you will get merit from me. Thanks.
The forecast of Bitcoin's course can not be made without taking into account the possible regulation in different countries. Loyal legal norms on the example of Japan show that they can allow Bitcoin to develop freely and without restrictions. If such a policy is implemented in many countries and most major markets, Bitkoin's course in 2018 has every chance to return to $ 20k, reach $ 50k and go even higher.
However, while the situation is not in favor of the cryptocurrency market. Many countries around the world and financial institutions are expressing concern about Bitcoin. Recent developments in the South Korean market demonstrate that legislative measures can be quite effective and directly affect the course of Bitcoin.
China, another giant of the cryptocurrency market, is trying to limit the extraction of digital currency on its territory, and this, too, doesn't add optimism to the forecast for 2018.
Many European countries still take a wait-and-see attitude, but central banks have repeatedly spoken about the need to regulate the digital currency market as early as 2018. For example, Thomas Jordan, the head of the Swiss National Bank, said that "you can not limit traditional currencies, but at the same time completely allow anonymous tools."
Now about another fact, about the growth of the demand.An important indicator of the growth rate Bitcoin, may be its relevance. The demand for cryptocurrency is growing from year to year, and this is the main driving force in its development. If the trend continues, the forecast for Bitcoin's 2018 exchange rate will in any case be positive. The coin can sag because of the action of various negative factors, but in general Bitcoin in 2018 will continue to grow.
