Up. There are only 21 million bitcoins to share and lately people are getting the news: 1 bitcoin is worth over $15,000. Right now there are close to 17 million coins in use. So the more demand for the coin, the higher the price will go. It could go as high as $50-$100,000 this year. Although there is a big oposition and the competition is extraordinary. Ethereum is promising two forks to increase its value, so competition will be tough. Those high transaction fees is doing a big harm too. Miners are trying to retain them as much as possible too.
