I think that the blocks are filling up and eventually when vol expands it'll cause transactions to freeze again. Next time it might be a selloff and the vol spike will cause the freeze and it'll flatline somewhere below $100 IMO, or miners will just stop after the halving because reward isn't there. I'm out of bitcoin completely now because of all this It's not the decentralised free market money I once thought it was. A handful of chinese miners run the network. gold and silver remain my favorite money. I do kind of like the idea of Digix First gold backed digital currency on Ethereum that can be purchased with digital currencies such as bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum, and dogecoin. Seems that Ethereum is where the development is happening, bitcoin not on a good path right now.
BTC has the upcoming halving. patience. Speaking of ETH, I almost purchased a mining rig then I realized the hashrate was doubling MOM. ETH miners must have made out a few months ago.
