Bitcoin is the world's first virtual currency, which was introduced in 2008. After only 10 years, that is in January 2018, its value reached 18k. This slow progress is owing to security violations like hacking and theft, which happened in the past 10 years. This chapter aims to show the strength of Bitcoin value, despite its many security threats. With the help of a case study, the major contributing security breach which caused a drop in the value of Bitcoin is identified. Also, there is a focus on the prediction of future value of Bitcoin.
