Bitcoin: Best investment in 2017?

[amaydel]

Crypto people have different perception towards bitcoin whether it's a type of investment or digital currency alternate to fiat. But since people's lives are getting better because of bitcoin specifically through investment, then you can not simply tell them to stop calling bitcoin as an investment. Imagine those people who believe and invested last January 2017 and hold them until December 2017. If you do the math, it's already a very big profit.

Bitcoin price has outperformed every reserve and fiat currency across the world year to date, yet again. By outperforming the US dollar by over 30 percent, Bitcoin surpassed the growth of the Mexican Peso, Silver, Gold and Russian Ruble to become the best performing currency so far in 2017.

Thus far, 2017 has been a successful year for both Bitcoin investors and alternative cryptocurrency (altcoin) traders, with leading altcoins or crypto assets such as Ethereum achieving a $5 bln market cap in early April. The Bitcoin market, however, experienced some major changes in its ecosystem earlier this year. The major driving force of Bitcoin price in 2017 is suspected to be the resolution of the Bitcoin network’s current scalability problems.

The Bitcoin network’s one MB cap on block size is causing Blockchain congestion, a drastic increase in fees at times and long confirmation times. If Bitcoin scalability issues are addressed within this year, with innovative solutions such as Bitcoin Core’s Segregated Witness (SegWit), Andrew Lee’s Extension Blocks or other potential emerging solutions, Bitcoin price will most likely demonstrate an exponential mid and long-term increase.

Would you invest in BTC this year?

what I believe most about all coins is bitcoin. so obviously I will invest my money in bitcoin, and I'm also sure that by the end of the year bitcoin will start with a high price again.

that's true because in 2017 bitcoin experienced a huge price increase. so in the past year those who invested in bitcoin got huge profits and many people got rich too

[Ebeano]

I think it was a very good investment for those that invested in it in 2017.
Some of my friends benefited immensely  from it.

Yes, a lot of investors who bought bitcoin earlier really received huge profit, let's see if what happened last year will happen again this year. Hoping all of us will become rich soon.

[Klongkhunosi]

Nevertheless, it is not the best but ONE of the best investments for 2017.  While it is in its peak, its better to invest. Ride with the wave. Even if the price flactuates from time to time, bitcoin has proven to be a worth of investment.

2017 is a great year for the electronic money industry. High growth rate up to tens of thousands of dollars. The amount of property for those who hold it is very rich. It is also a windy year for those who are greedy after the hope of wealth.

I believe the author of this thread that appeared more than a year ago, made really good money as soon as he was planning to choose the right thing - invest in Bitcoin.

[laracastvue]

Now its 2018. I think the good strategy for investment is to invest in etherium and Ripple. Becuase this two coins is have a big potential this year, so dont miss this apportunities comes to us. Be ready.

It was the best if you are going to invest on ethereum because the market price is currently low and you will be surely earning profit when the market price increases.

Bitcoin will stay one of the best investments all the time - it does not mean which year you buy it. Simply 2017 was the period of hype around this cryptocurrency.

When the topic was created, the situation was completely different-if you look at the market now it does not cause much joy in many people. The price has fallen dramatically. But there is good news-this is a very big bitcoat volatility. It is able to return to its former position in a few hours or even to fly off altogether up.

Its true, when 2017, most crypto price rising to the moon. But in 2018, most crypto price drop more than 80%. Bitcoin highest price happen in 2017 and right now market cap value cut more than 70%

[michellee]

bitcoin can be the best investment in 2017 because, at the end of 2017, bitcoin price increases too high and makes many people can get rich because of their investment in bitcoin. but in this year, we can have an opportunity to choose any coins because every coin in the cryptocurrency is down too deep so we can choose more than 10 coins as the investment. but we still need to make a research to choose the coins so we can get profitable coins that will give a big profit in the next year.

[Eigig]

I will agree that bitcoin is the best investment in 2017, but up to now thare are many who would preferr still to invest in bitcoin, but sad to say that any coin , altcoin are now sufferring the red price value of the market ,and evrn the stable coin can not move faster because of thus downfall market.

[Aleth]

Yes i do agree with you, because last year his the highest value of Bitcoin ever in the coin market and investors was able to consider investing in it. I hope this fourth quarter of the year will surpass last years performance.

Would you invest in BTC this year?

It’s not only about our performing other assets in the market, there are still people who are not okay with it and most will prefer to go for real estate instead of Bitcoin. Majority of investors today still don’t believe that Bitcoin is a better option for them,, they will prefer to go for stocks that lasts long and rewards them for having patience.

Mostly greedy investors without patience are what I am seeing in Bitcoin community, people who wants to take advantage of the Bitcoins volatile nature.

our analisys when choosing coins in bloody market would helpfull to avoid suffering loss.we could not make sure that coins give us profit in current condition.but atleast we have lowest price which is less risk too.

[Gagah119]

2017 is the highest value for Bitcoin prices, but I am very sure if 2 or 3 years later the price of Bitcoin is higher than 2017.

Yes I am. I am investing bitcoin. Last year maybe be a bountiful year for cryptocurrency but I know this year is even more abundant. The price now may be so low but I am expecting a big jump the next months or the last quarter of this year.

[NevejElad]

We can not claim other coins as the best coins in 2017, but of all the coins in the cryptocurrency that is the best investment is the bitcoin , it is still the coin to be trusted and be invested in this year also 2018.
