I like the site. Fees are low. I’d like to know more about your ICO this coming January as I feel that I can trust my coins with you.

As more and more people use the Bitcoin Blockchain, the congestion increases which in-turn also increases the transaction fees.

It's most probably news-related. Be careful not to buy at the top though. Sometimes, up-trends can't sustain themselves just because of good news.

The problem is, wallets(except harware ones) can still get hacked no matter how secure the blockchain is. This is one thing that needs to be addressed before completely going cashless.

While it is definitely possible, I don't see any other widely accepted Cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin today. That being said, I don't think it will happen just yet.
