Is Bitcoin the gold of the future? Currently, the Bitcoin is located in the Gartner valley of disappointment. Already the fourth time! A good time for an analysis. Since peaking at just under USD 20,000 on December 17, 2017, Bitcoin has lost a good two-thirds of its value. And according to Google Trends even more than 80% interest. In terms of Gartner terminology: the Bitcoin is currently in the Valley of Disappointment. More precisely, currently the fourth time, after June 2011, April 2013 and December 2013. A good time to look into it.
