Why BITCOIN is so interesting.

Newer technological advancements that disrupt present technologies and industries first attract the attention of INNOVATORS (2.5%), who are followed by the EARLY ADOPTERS (13.5%) and the EARLY MAJORITY (33%).

Bitcoin had its beginning in Jan 2009 and innovators spent 2009 – 2012 seeing it increase in value from .008 cents US to $13.00 US. From 2013 – 2017 the early adopters became involved and the value of one Bitcoin has since increased to $20,089 US as of Dec 17, 2017.

We are just entering the stage of the “EARLY MAJORITY” and it is a challenge to even attempt to estimate how long we will remain in this stage. The value of the BITCOIN is extremely volatile but is rapidly gaining acceptance and legitimacy by major financial institutions and individuals in every country of the world.

I believe 2018 will see the end of the second phase for the United States “EARLY ADOPTERS” and the beginning of adoption of BITCOIN by the “EARLY MAJORITY”. There are many word of caution and awareness that one should consider before getting involved. It is an ideal time to further one’s education; develop a niche website on WealthyAffiliate; and invest in and use cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin definitely has ‘first mover’s advantage’, but who will be the leader in Dec of 2018 is still to be decided. There is always BITCOIN CASH (a totally separate cryptocurrency) and EMPHEREUM along with at least thousand others digital currencies in the competition. To make it even more challenging a newer technology “HASH GRAPH” is challenging the “BLOCK CHAIN” technology on which the cryptos are based.
