The longer this goes on unabated, the more I believe government created it. They want a cashless society. That's not a good thing. Right now you have to convert it back to dollars in order to spend it. EVERY transaction you make is traceable and taxable. The IRS is on top of it and will come after you for taxes owed... this happened to a friend of mine that bought a whole bunch when it was $100. In May 2017 he cashed out at around $2000. Just recently he received a tax bill from the IRS for $25,000 - ouch.
TPTB have to keep their fiat scam system going and cryptos are the future of it. I'm stay far away from these things, I don't care how high they go.
You want to invest in a seriously undervalued asset with enormous upside potential?... silver is it. Keep in mind it is a l-o-n-g term investment and it could take years to reach true/full value. Right now the price of metals are being manipulated and held down by TPTB. However, they cannot do it forever.
