2017 was the year of breakthrough bitcoin and virtual currencies in general. Like the popularity, so the price of bitcoin has grown at times.
In November last year, a survey was carried out by Americans who invested in bitcoin, whose goal is to find out what their plans for currency management in 2018 are.
Do investors expect a further increase in the yield of bitcoin in 2018? Do they plan to sell the currency, or will they buy even more? Will they spend coins to pay for various purchases?
