BitCoin as well as other crypto has an unlimited potential just as long as Government as well as big banks do not lobby and regulate the market. Bankers as well and government are afraid of the technology because they cannot longer control wealth who has access to capital and track money.
What will affect bitcoin is the over saturation of new and useless cryptos that are now appearing every day. If the technology or the purpose behind the crypto is meaningless and useless it is hurting the market for those that are revolutionizing money, technology, and complete industry. I have not had a chance to explore many of the new ICO every day but i find that a lot of these new ICOs with no substance behind them. Crypto is the future but it is still and infant that can be damaged by the oversaturated market that can lead to people becoming skeptical of the value.
