Will the price of Bitcoin still go up? It seems so outdated when compared to its competitors.
For sure the price of bitcoin will go up before the year runs out, and the fork has to be successful, cause it is the major factor for the rise in price of bitcoin.
Just hold your bitcoins till the end of the year and you will get answer for your question as price is already moving up in recent past few days and if everything goes fine after the fork then be ready for the extra ordinary price of bitcoin which is expected to reach at the time of Christmas.
From your view, it's a good idea, cause till the fork is over no one knows what is ahead of the price of bitcoin. But one thing is still certain, the price will rise.
