Title: Re: A good read Post by: Iranus on November 15, 2017, 04:27:29 PM The writer has some pretty poor points on this article.
The Bitcoin payments infrastructure itself, including all Bitcoin-based business models – 75%. Last bubble (2013 to early 2014), there was actually drastically more usage and adoption by merchants after the bubble had collapsed.If a bubble collapses, that means less hype and most likely less trading volume afterwards. This can result in lower fees and more stability, which actually makes it a more convenient payment option and more likely to be used by businesses like Overstock and Steam which began accepting Bitcoin during a more plateaued period. The writer also makes a bold assumption about the usage of BTC in poorer countries: will a Bitcoin crash take down these poor countries’ banking infrastructure and economies altogether? Somewhat unlikely, but I wouldn’t keep my money in an African bank, would you? He gives it a "33% chance" that something like this would happen, despite the fact that the prospect of a developing company delving into BTC doesn't necessarily involve them actually holding or using Bitcoin directly, certainly not on a large scale.Title: Re: A good read Post by: nazimmamun on November 15, 2017, 05:01:23 PM there is some weak point here. i think bitcoin not need all this
