So you mean to say that the upcoming years will be a down fall? I don't think so, the price of bitcoin seems to be stable as of now. And way back then, bitcoin is still on getting some attraction and upon seeing the charts. It is getting more attraction and it's possible that it can drop for a while but not that too low, if that happens then it will simply come back again higher.
The fact is price was low in the past because bitcoin was not too popular at that time and there were less adopters of bitcoins but now things are changing bitcoin is more popular now and everyday more and more people are knowing about bitcoins and adoption level is also going higher and it will keep on increasing in coming years too so if the adoption goes higher then it will directly contribute to higher price of bitcoins.
Yes that's another thing and way back that time bitcoin is still getting a lot of investors. That's why right now we are all happy to see that the price landed to $1,000. And if you are going to sell right now make sure that you will not regret upon seeing the price to a higher state for the next days or else just keep on holding.
Indeed a 4 digit figure value of bitcoin was never expected honestly and now $1000 has become a base value for it and those who gonna sell it now will surely regret it in future but again it depends on there needs and current situation as bitcoin is getting lot of investors i am sure the value will increase much more than that and if projections are to be believe bitcoin will reach $2000 by 2019.
