With prices fluctuating of around 25% from top to bottom we could see this to. In fact the volatility is now even more present than last year . But look at the market cap. It explode to the upside. 2018 is a year of new challenges.

Hitting the first major mainstream news in the second half of 2017, Bitcoin is now beoing exposed to a lot of no brainers and critisism by conservative peoples who are per definition against any form of crypto-currencies.

2018 is just started and with the spring ahead lets hope that momentum can kick in later this year!
