Yeah, it is rising, but i dont really think there is a future in Bitcoin.
I beg to differ with you on this point because the bitcoin price surging is self justifying and how much bitcoin will continue to be part of our lives now and in the future and it implies their is a greater market demand for the currency which keeps pushing its price to the moon
It was the first attempt, but now, other coins have way better features, specific at their field of operations. You can get better anonimity with Monero, better transaction times with some other coins etc. So i guess BTC is just a way for the masses to find out about the blockchain, and the first one there. It will continue to rise, because is being used frequently as a gateway Fiat -> BTC -> Altcoins
I do agree when it comes to exhibiting certain features bitcoin does fall short only because it was made for general-purpose audience unlike other alts with a specific use but still remains the favorite for many of us.
