Did you believe the prediction some of the bitcoin believers made?

↑This man right here is not a random person, tech-venture capitalist, Tim Draper, he is like the ‘Bitcoin Nostradamus’.
Back in September,2014,he told the people that bitcoin would reach $10K by 2018. The price of a bitcoin was only $400 and was entering a year-long price slump and was called “Worst Currency of the Year” by many mainstream news publication.
Mr. Draper also did a great amount of bitcoin purchase from the Silk Road Auction. He purchased 30,000 BTC for $13M, and now it's worth over $300M making him $287M in just a few years.
Other notable money maker also had predicted the latest price high include former Fortress tycoon, Mike Novogratz, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee and many more. Even Mark Cuban recently explained to Business Insider that bitcoin would continue to rise as long as it remains a store of value.

how much? and where? is the bitcoin exchanged the most now?

New All Time High – A Single Bitcoin is Now Worth more than $10,000
Bitcoin surpassed $10,050 per BTC on November 28, 2017, on Bitstamp.
The top ten exchanges the most bitcoin this month include Bitfinex, Bithumb, GDAX, Hitbtc, Bitflyer, Bitstamp, Coinone, Bittrex, Poloniex, and Korbit.
The top three countries right now exchanging the most substantial sums of BTC are Japan, the U.S., and South Korea commanding the majority of this month’s trade volumes.

Charles Hoskinson, CEO of blockchain company IOHK, has been in the space long enough to remember when bitcoin was below $5. Over the past five years, he says he has watched the markets move in all kinds of directions.
In fact, as this story is being published, after cresting at over $11,000 today, bitcoin has already dipped below $10,000 and then risen again.
The current bitcoin market cap is $167 billion, and while Hoskinson thinks $10K is a great “psychological barrier” to cross, he suspects that with bitcoin’s routine ups and downs, we may see it again. After all, that is just how bitcoin is. In an email to Bitcoin Magazine, he wrote: “We might be crossing 10k more than once on the ride to a trillion dollar market cap.”

Many people who is just starting to get to know about bitcoin, might think It's too late to start investing on bitcoin by the higher price. However,since only an estimated half-percent of the global population uses digital currency, there is still plenty of time to be an early adopter.

ビットコインの価格が117万6433円に到達し、前年比終値の11万3074円から10倍もの値上がりとなった。

シカゴ・マーカンタイル取引所（CME）でのビットコイン先物の上場が予定されていることや、LedgerXによるCFTC認可のオプション取引が開始されたことで、多くの投資家が次々と参入をしたことが１００万円超えのきっかけとなったとされる。

The Wallstreet Journalにによると、米HFT最大手のDRWの仮想通貨部門で子会社のCumberlandは昨年、2兆円を超える取引をビットコインやイーサリアムで行っていたという。また、イギリス最大手ヘッジファンドMan Groupのルーク・エリックCEOは、ビットコインが有望な投資先になるとして、将来投資を行う可能性もあると示している。金融街の機関投資家や、金の投資家がビットコイン投資に加わると、これまでの一般の市場環境とは桁違いの莫大な資金がビットコイン取引で動くことになりそうだ。

１ビットコインが１００万円と聞いて、今から参入するのは遅いと悩む人も多くみる。
ただ、ビットコインが多く取引されるようになった一方で、まだ世界中で約半数の人口しかビットコインを持っていないので、まだ乗り遅れたとはいえないでしょう。
