Nathan Martin from the Economic Edge blog posted an analysis on why Bitcoin is not a bubble. His for reasons make a lot sense. He believes most are buying bitcoin because it’s a better store of value. Bitcoin provides a better store of value than assets that are controlled by banks, he claims, and it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Hence, the number of people using bitcoin will continue to increase.

The power of Bitcoin rests in its decentralized nature. Because Bitcoin is not owned by any centralized banking system (unlike national currencies), the value cannot be arbitrarily manipulated by currency production. This gives Bitcoin the stability of a commodity like gold. This is an advantage when your national currency becomes less valuable, like in countries such as Venezuela
Unlike tulips, dollars or even precious metals, Bitcoin is strictly limited in its supply. There will never be more than 21 million Bitcoins ever mined. The market is at 80% of that number. Further demand results automatically in a much higher Bitcoin price.
Decentralization and encryption make Bitcoin secure. It can be stored in electronic cyber “vaults” where you keep a hard copy of the encryption cypher. This means that your exchange or cumputer can be hacked but your bitcoin don’t actually reside in either! They reside on someone else’s computer somewhere and only you have the code to get to it. Thus they cannot be confiscated by a government, a banker, or a hacker.
Because all Bitcoin transactions are recorded in the Blockchain, the opportunity for fraud is minuscule at best, and immediately traceable.
I also want to mention that cryptocurrencies enable things that could never happen before. As can see in the link below. It is a beautiful technology that has a lot of potential.

In addition, I annoy the counter argument that bitcoin has no intrinsic value because our current monetary system is based solely on trust. Both money systems (fiat en Bitcoin) depend on trust but the blockchain has more value to add for the future. The current financial system is outdated and is not resistant to globalization and ‘internet-ization’ (yes, that is my own word).
I believe that some ICO’s (Initial Coin Offering) are in an bubble. People, watch out with investing in some ICO’s. Some of them don’t have a good management team or even a working product. Make sure you know what the product (whitepaper) is, how far the developments are and what the further development (roadmap) is. Some ICO's are real scams and only fill the developer's bank account. Rule one of investing is that you know where you're investing in. With having said that, I’m concluding the article with a quote of someone called Warren Buffet.
Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing
