Probably it is not as long as i know. Bit coin is touching it high level popularity by dint of its reliablity and secured systems.There are thousands of cryptos over the world. Among all of them most increasing marketcap is belongs to Bitcoin. Feel free to invest.
Bitcoin has reached its peak popularity since last year december and from that, we only witnessed decreasing interest of the public. We would take a long time for the people to appreciate it again.
Yes you are right, now Bitcoin is more popularly used as an asset, not as a currency, this is the cause of inflation in Bitcoin prices. If the information is correct on another thread with a link to the article that 111,000 bitcoins can be sold in the amount of $ 802 million, then bitcoin will soon fall at a very low price. The only problem is that he pulled the remaining crypto currency.
We have long been past its goal for being a currency. Given the volume of people hodling it, it is safe to assume that the number 1 goal of bitcoin now is to be a form of investment.
