Bitcoin has been around 13 years and has been picking up more branding value each day. If you are willing to look hard enough, these days you can basically spend your Bitcoin anywhere, if not directly with the merchant then through a third party gift card purchaser. While some of these methods are little unconventional, they do help make Bitcoin more useful today and easier to adopt for tomorrow.
Unlike commodities like gold, silver and oil which can replenish buy producing more when depleted, the supply of Bitcoin is limited to only 21 Million and there are currently 18,544,925 bitcoins in existence. This number changes about every 10 minutes when new blocks are mined. Right now, each new block adds 6.25 bitcoins into circulation. Why do bitcoins have value? Bitcoins have value because they are useful as a form of money and store of value. It will likely grow more valuable as users, merchants, and startups grow. Bitcoin's value increases as people willing to accept them as payment. The rise of bitcoin is textbook supply and demand. Since supply is fixed and more and more institutional investors and end-users are adopting bitcoin, the price will surged. Bitcoin price surge is more likely now as more and more billionaires, hedge funds, corporation and investors are more willing to buy/ invest in it. While the Apps from both Square and PayPal make their nearly 400 million accounts worldwide to buy Bitcoin easily also facilitates the Bitcoin price surge.
Technically, Bitcoin is bullish as it rallied strongly back from a sharp sell off from near $19500 to near $16000 last week and has quickly surge back up during the weekend and today to exceed the previous high in early trading. The breaking above its $20000 psychological level looks imminent. It has the potential to start the 2nd leg up of a bullish Continuation Up pattern if it breaks above $20000. This pattern if materialized could put Bitcoins potential target at $26000 rather quickly. Other analysts are suggesting $50000, $60000, $100000, $318000 by end of next year and $500000 in a decade.

Tyler Winklevoss, the co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini, who is bullish at Bitcoin for a long time, said on the "Squawk Box" that he has not bought more Bitcoin, but he thinks there is still a lot of room for growth. "Our argument is that Bitcoin is Gold 2.0, and it will be a big blow to gold. If this result is to be achieved, its market value must reach 9 trillion US dollars. Therefore, we think that the price of Bitcoin may be reached 500,000 US dollars in a decade, and the current price of Bitcoin is only 18,000 US dollars, so you should continue to hold it, or if you have not bought it, this is an opportunity to buy, because we think the future growth is 25 times." Winklevoss said. --- CNBC

10. The chief decision maker for where BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, invests its funds said bitcoin could take the place of gold to a large extent because crypto is “so much more functional than passing a bar of gold around.” BlackRock CIO of fixed income Rick Reider discussed Bitcoin on CNBC, billionaire investor Mike Novogratz said BTC is now an institutional asset. Reider said that Bitcoin is here to stay and that it has the potential to evolve. He suggested that millennials favor BTC and that the strengthening reality of digital currencies becoming mainstream payment options were both major positive factors for BTC.
11. As reported by Coindesk, "filings for the first half of this year show Charles Schwab Investment Management, Inc. purchased 22,977 Riot shares for $52,000. Two Vanguard funds – the Vanguard Index Fund and Vanguard Valley Forge Index Fund – were invested in 954,229 Riot shares worth $2,118,000, and two Fidelity funds were separately invested in 176,242 Riot shares worth $230,115 (split between a NASDAQ index and three market indices) and 2,769,759 HIVE shares worth $1,003,163. Riot Blockchain, based in the U.S., and HIVE Blockchain Technologies, based in Canada, provide services for mining bitcoin, a process where new cryptocurrency is minted."
12. A recent Bitcoin (BTC) technical analysis reportedly prepared by CitiFX for its institutional clients points to a potential high of $318,000 sometime in December 2021.While conceding that this figure may seem highly improbable, he points out that this “would only be a low to high rally of 102 times. We are at a point where the arguments in favour of Bitcoin could well be at their most persuasive ever." Citibank managing director Tom Fitzpatrick points out the three major bullish periods of BTC so far have been increasing in length. Initially, there was a 10-month run from 2010–2011, followed by a two-year run from 2011–2013, and finally a three-year run covering 2015 --2017. Fitzpatrick posits that the period of correction following the last two bull runs has remained stable at around 12 months. This, according to the analysis, places us squarely in the middle of a bull run which started in early 2019 and is potentially set to run for four years until late 2022.
