As everyone has said, it is very difficult to predict the future.

That being said I see mass adoption of cryptocurrencies happening and whatever use cases or vendors appear that accept crypto, will inevitably always accept bitcoins for the simple reason that there is the largest potential user market to be tapped.

Depends on what your goal is, if it's 10x gains I'm hesitant to say that is the upside now. If you just want to treat it like gold then I'd say go in.

I think there is more potential to be made in altcoins myself.

I heard about bitcoin first when it came out in 2010 because I was on the SilkRoad debating to buy weed or a fake ID and it was about 8-10 cents I think. Really kicking myself now but I was so young at the time and had no financial or investor perspective.

I still haven't bought any because I'm interested in growth potential and I think there are better opportunities to be found in alts.
