Many expert traders and analysts have predicted that 2018 will be a year in which bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market could more than triple in its current price.

Tim Draper, the crypto millionaire and venture capitalist, has said that fiat currency usage will be a “laughable anachronism” in under five years.

Indeed, Fundstrat CEO Tom Lee predicted bitcoin value could exceed $25,000 by the end of 2018.

Fundstrat, a New York-based hedge fund firm, has been a crypto giant in the investment world and is one of many successful Wall Street companies have started to dip their toes in cryptocurrency investment.

Large banks like Santander and card services like Master Card have decided to invest in Ripple, while Amazon, one of the biggest companies in the world, is rumoured to be looking into cryptocurrency investment.

With all these new investment opportunities from around the world, it is easy to see how bitcoin could increase its value exponentially in the coming years.
