I think by next year bitcoin will be more known worldwide and hopefully a lot of business-owned establishments like restaurants would accept bitcoin. I am even planning to go out of the country next year and one thing I was looking at on a country I would love to visit or stay on vacation would be a country that would accept bitcoin at some establishments.
With the growing popularity of bitcoin this year alone, I think the rate of adoption will still continue next year. There are only a few businesses that I'm aware though that is accepting bitcoin as payment. If you are planning to go out, the best option is Japan dude. We already know that they have accepted bitcoin and you can go anywhere with just your smart phone to do shopping and eating. They even accepting air fare as well. Japan FTW.
The journey of bitcoin from 2009 to 2017 is very interesting. Although the stories of individuals(investors) are very interesting and motivational that how they initiated and what problems they faced at earlier stages.
In 2017 the number of businesses accepting bitcoin continues to increase. Where you see the bitcoin in 2018?
Bank Indonesia will prohibit payment transactions using bitcoin by 2018. This bitcoin prohibition will be regulated in a Bank Indonesia or PBI regulation that is planned to be issued in the near future.
Thanks for the heads up by most of us are aware already that Indonesia is anti-bitcoin. We really love to see bitcoin being accepted by all nations, but sadly, it will be not the case. I say it will go 50/50 in 2018. Just hard to imagine that Indonesia is against bitcoin while most of its citizens are earning through it. How ironic.
