After that the price of bitcoin reached the top for over $1000 a price that is not within the reach of everyone and that lets the bitcoin far from being a universal currency because it seems too expensive for more than 80% Of the world population which can not obtain such a sum even by accumulating all their annual income, other people who have acceded to this currency would say that $1000 is not yet the real price because the real price is much higher than that .
We experienced this situation in the end of year 2013 where the prices reached the same value but with a less number of peoples and bitcoin and the following was the sudden drop of prices which were less than $500 in most of the year 2014 and less than $ 200 in some period of the same year but which has allowed other people to join the bitcoin community , so I wonder if the year 2017 would be the year where we will see the largest number of bitcoin User or low prices or both?
And you really feel price of Bitcoin restrict ppl from buying Bitcoin!!
I don't know if you are aware but it is possible to transact even the 10000th part of Bitcoin for free. Higher prices of Bitcoin are rarely hurdle in its acceptance way.
And also the higher price in case of Bitcoin doesn't drive away demand or present users rather it enthusiasts the new users to start using Bitcoin as lucrative medium of investment!!
