What's best about bitcoin is that it was one of the first in the game. There are many coins which are simply forks of bitcoin. All you have to do is claim them with your private address. If you kept your money in an exchange then...but then it's a really nice way to get free money by just buying something haha. Bitcoin is surely on the rise now. Even in India people have started to become more aware as to what is happening with cryptocurrency and the blockchain tech. The government won't be able to do much. I'm HODLing! Thank you for your anal-ysis.
