Wait, I just did so myself. I couldn't control my curiosity.

If they would create their own cryptocurrency, the only thing what they will be doing is digitizing their national currency. It will probably be a last effort for them to keep control, but for how long?

Who would have thought in 2011 that the price would rise above 5.000$.
I think a price above 50.000$ is possible in the future. I'm not sure though if it will be hit before the end of 2019.
