I doubt whether Bitcoin will become valuable in 2018 and after that seeing the current market situation of Bitcoin price. I have planned something for this Christmas but I think I cannot fulfill that with Bitcoin price as of now, if the price increases before this year end like last year I may fulfill my dream. My dream is to buy a lambo this Christmas.
Despite the situation Bitcoin has been going on lately, I have learned one thing from all my years of experience in the cryptocurrency market. Such thing is patience, and it's required for you to become successful in your investment. A similar pattern in price movements was experienced with the downfall of Mt. Gox exchange, but a few years later, Bitcoin rose to unprecedented levels in price. Of course, many people would become desperate when they see their investments head down the drain, but with patience, they'll be able to experience great results in the long term.
I have no worries about Bitcoin's current price movements, as I'm confident that it'll become much more valuable in the future. There are several factors that helps this become a reality such as limited supply, halving of block reward, layer-two scaling such as Lightning Network, and more. Thus, the more Bitcoin improves in its technical aspect, and the more demand it experiences, it'll surely rise in values you've never thought possible. In the case of this year, Bitcoin could rise any moment back to $10k or $20k. But, if it doesn't, then there will be next year, and the next one, and so on. No one knows what Bitcoin's value would be in the future, but I do know that it'll be here to stay for quite a long time.
