The price of a Bitcoin is quite volatile, but it is currently double what it was a year ago. I believe the price will continue higher as more people get digital wallets and more merchants accept the digital currency. Coinbase, where I got my digital wallet, reported it now supports more than 43,000 merchants. If you are interested in where you can spend Bitcoin, see a good summary here. There are many skeptics about the future of Bitcoin. However, it looks like the underlying infrastructure which supports Bitcoin, called the blockchain, is certain to play a major role in replacing the banking and finance architectures which have been around for decades. As I wrote in the upcoming new book, Election Attitude, blockchain technology may play a key role in replacing the old fashioned way in which we store and secure the votes underlaying our democracy.
