Bitcoin had a shaky start to the year after a spectacular rise in 2017, so what does 2018 hold for the cryptocurrency?<\/p>\n

Dennis de Jong, the managing director at UFX, said despite the blip over the Christmas period, there "really isn't a roof on how high bitcoin can climb in 2018".<\/p>\n

"Given the unexpected speed at which it rose towards the back end of last year, it\u2019s difficult to put an exact figure on what it will reach, but we certainly could be looking upwards of $50,000 in 12 months\u2019 time," he said.<\/p>\n

Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at Think Markets, also said bitcoin could touch the $40,000 to $50,000 mark in 2018.<\/p>\n

De Jong added that other cryptocurrencies, or alt-coins, like ethereum or Ripple, could see "rapid gains" in 2018.<\/p>\n

Iqbal Gandham, UK managing director at eToro, one of the largest cryptocurrency retailers, echoed that sentiment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our view, bitcoin is unlikely to steal so much of the show this year. Building on the momentum from last year, it is likely that investors will increasingly consider additional cryptocurrencies such as XRP [Ripple], ethereum, litecoin and dash as part of their portfolios.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gandham said: \u201cIn 2017, the total value of all cryptocurrencies in circulation rose by over 3,000 per cent. Looking ahead to 2018, we expect a waterfall effect to take place, with more retailers, governments, and financial institutions embracing blockchain technology, which in turn is likely to drive investor confidence in cryptocurrencies."<\/p>\n
