Is Bitcoin back?

In the last month we have seen bitcoin's price rise over 30%, with many claiming this the beginning of the bull run. However, looking at the number of active users on the r/bitcoin subreddit there has been little change. This is even stranger when we see that subscribers are increasing at a rapid rate.

The bitcoin price is still to reach the high of May so it is still early days to claim a recovery but the longer it remains above the recent lows the more confidence in the market should return.

Why Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is still very much in it's early days but already we can see the potential to make the current monetary system more efficient. This will accelerate more and more as people begin to see the value of adopting a global rules based currency with a distributed ledger. 

Why bitcoin and not one of the mainly other cryptocurrencies? 

  • The ledger has been up and running since 2009, having been attacked several times, nobody has been able to break the system.
  • The coins are distributed more widely than other cyrptocurrencies. 
  • There are 21 million bitcoin, no more will be created, so there will be no inflation, other cryptocurrencies do not have a limited supply.
  • The rules cannot be changed without consensus, and if they do, you will then have coins on both the old and new versions if both continue to exist. Even if there is a minority want to maintain one of the forks it can still continue to function. This makes it very difficult for a malicious party to take control of the currency.
