This is also the year the word: cryptocurrencies was introduced to the world. The world got to hear about bitcoin in November 28th this year when bitcoin price hit $10,000 and many were alarmed, wondering?
What is bitcoin? How could it be $10,000.
November: What is bitcoin was the highest search term on google from 29th November till 20th of December.
Bitcoin futures was introduced by CBOE in December 10th and CME by December 18th respectively.
December: Bitcoin achieved its highest run this year on the 18th of December when it hit $20,000.
Bitcoin is presently $13,000 at the time of this writing.
Will it be sustained or do we see bitcoin going higher next year?
If you ask me I think 2018 will be the year of the blockchain and the year of Ethereum as a cryptocurrency.

Wishing you a wonderful new year and the best of 2018.
