Bitcoin Forum

Today, the Internet World is full of people who are called economists who say bitcoin is a "bubble." they seemed to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt. They say that the bitcoin high price rally will be a disaster. however, it looks like they just hate cryptocurrency. many of these experts do not fully understand bitcoin.

Bitcoin is special. This is not a company that can lose profitability and fail. This is certainly not a speculative real estate scam that could collapse due to government and bank fraud. Bitcoin is something else. Its value does not increase due to market lies. This is increasing because it is a life-changing financial discovery. This increases as more people adopt it.

Bitcoin also grows as a result of basic economy. Its supply is limited to 21 million units and this certainly makes assets scarce.  If something is scarce and many people want it, then, its value will eventually increase.

So.. Bitcoin is not Bubble!!

Bitcoin was invented as a currency that will become an alternative for all Fiat. Perhaps the price of bitcoin has been artificially increased, but it is our fault. We drugged him with speculative capital. Now the price has returned to the real indicators. Perhaps now the volatility of bitcoin will decrease and the price will grow slowly. I don't see any signs of a bubble.

The Price of Bitcoin and Altcoins are in control of whales (have huge amount of holdings).

They can dump and pump the price anytime.
We need more distribution so that the price will be stable.

I don't think so Bitcoin is a Bubble.

the problem with the term "bubble" and bitcoin has always been one thing, in my opinion.
people think bitcoin is only a bubble if it has gone up above some arbitrary price that they have in mind. for some this may be $1000 even and for others it may be $10k. and then they expect a bubble burst to be catastrophic and they say for example if price started dropping from $20k it should fall down to $1k so that they are satisfied there is no more bubble!

the reality is very different though!
bubbles happen, in fact we already had a lot of bitcoin bubbles and at least 4 or 5 huge ones and each time they burst and market corrects itself while a bunch of people are screaming weird low numbers! $20k was a bubble, so was $1200 of 2013, and so was $200 before that, and even $1 at some point.
in fact the roller coaster thing is basically this rise and fall when bitcoin enters its bubbles, then they burst and we have a huge drop because of panic (not only because of bubble) and then we start rising back up again.

so i think saying "bitcoin is not a bubble" is as wrong as saying "bitcoin is a bubble".  at times we have bubbles and they don't last long and just because price is dropping it doesn't mean we are still in a bubble!

If you call going from $1000 to $19,000 in a year then declining sharply a bubble, then sure, it's a bubble.

But if you factor in that it didn't go crashing back down to zero but hit resistance points at $10,000, $9,000 and $8,000 and is now testing $7,000, then it's deflating slowly rather than bursting.

But even if it slides all the way down to $2,000, it still almost doubled in a little over a year. I'll take that kind of bubble every day.

I think Bitcoin is not a bubble, why? It is because Bitcoin now has it's boundary on its drop and would not become zero, unless people will stop patronizing cryptocurrencies.

Only people who don't understand Bitcoin call it a bubble, or even worse reference the Tulip Mania. It is like they are saying things without even know what they are saying, dare I say are they begin ignorant? ::)

If it is a bubble it might had ended  earlier but why it gone this far and why it  just not ended when the time it is in the time struggle and why it is earn acceptance people around the world.

I define a bubble as an event in which a speculation-based positive feedback loop pushes the price of asset far above a reasonable value (based on a risk-adjusted discounted future price), inevitably followed by a crash that returns the price to rationality.

Bitcoin is clearly in a bubble (that has popped). However, unlike the FUDsters, I don't believe that a reasonable future price is 0.

This current bubble is not unusual or unique in any way as Bitcoin has experienced several bubbles in the past. This one has been moderate compared to the others.

My prediction is that the price will level out at around $5000 over the next several months and then perhaps start slowly rising again as people see that Bitcoin is not going away.


I have been an active investor and entrepreneur for decades, and I have been actively involved with Bitcoin since 2011. I feel that those who claim that Bitcoin is not in a bubble are the ignorant (or perhaps just wishful) ones.

As a few others have mentioned, Bitcoin has definitely experienced bubbles, but that does not mean that it is a worthless asset. There are famous bubbles like the tulip bubble which really were insane and there was nothing supporting it but that's not the case for bitcoin. The bubbles in this case are no different to the ones we see with house prices or stocks, the price increases above where it should reasonably be and then corrects back to a more reasonable level. People seem too set in the idea that a bubble must end with something falling to 0.

Well they actually say bitcoin is currently in a bubble, not that the whole thing is a bubble. Or at least that's my view of it. At certain times there is a growth face that expands like a bubble and may at some point pop in future, that doesn't mean that it will completely crash to zero, but that popping event can analogous to a severe dip in value, similar to the drip we're seeing now.

I think, the original idea of bitcoin was to be a currency, what everyone can use  to buy absolutely everything without the participation of the Bank.  Public attention, what bitcoin received in end of  2017, quite increased his price and has generated many rumors about "bubble". But I'm more than sure, that everyone, who calling bitcoin "bubble" just understand how it works.

Bitcoin still has some bubble side because it has not enough real world usage yet. Bitcoin was not bubble till $4k price but then it moved very fast with new comer FOMOers like any bubble. $20k price was so fast for real price of BTC. it was not healthy move. I believe after this bloodbath we finally can find real movement of price by the time

I think you are getting your terminology mixed up a little. For one, no Bitcoin is not bubble, but it is in a bubble, or at least it was until it started to deflate (pop).

Just because something is in a bubble doesn't necessarily mean it is illegitimate, a scam, or worthless. The economy can be in a bubble at times, the US housing market was in a bubble in the early 2000's, some stocks can be in a bubble.

A bubble simply means that something's price, such as an asset like Bitcoin, is trading way too high above its intrinsic value. Of course, some could argue what Bitcoin's intrinsic value is all day long, some have even went so far as to claim it has no intrinsic value.

I do think it has intrinsic value, but at the same time I do not think it is worth $10k or $20k at this point in its life.

This means it was in a bubble during that run-up in price to $20k, it is now deflating to what it's true price should be considering the stage of its development, current adoption, and the usefulness it provides over alternatives. I am sure over the next few months we will discover what its intrinsic value is to the market, but I do suspect it is going to be closer to $2,500-$4,000 range.

$20k will come again, but it is way to early now for such a high valuation. Maybe another 5 years we will get there and be standing on solid ground, where everyone is not worried the (price) floor is going to disappear out from under them at any second like we were a few months ago.

Everything you might have said might be true, but what if the world suddenly doesn't want bitcoins? What if it has found something a lot better? What if all the governments in the world suddenly bans bitcoins, and making it extremely hard to use? There are a lot of factors that could destroy that demand, and that has continuously been threatening bitcoins. Don't get me wrong, I am a complete supporter of bitcoins, but there are just those threats to it that we should accept as well.

Bitcoin is not a bubble we have known that for a long time, however that does not mean that the price of bitcoin cannot bubble once in a while and that is what we saw in the recent months and that is why we saw the current crash however more than bitcoin I see many altcoins as a problem since you can create an unlimited amount of altcoins by just copy pasting the code of bitcoin, altcoins are the main culprit of what is happening after all many people invest in those coins not because they believe in the projects but just as a way to make money and that is just speculation.

When someone seems to be knowledgeable in bitcoin or he does know few things about it. He starts to become an analysts, economists and as well as predictor.
They only hate bitcoin and what they want is to continue spreading FUD so that those newbies and weak handlers will start to be skeptic and will follow on what they are suggesting to others.

I am100% in the same page with you.The definition of a bubble is not in the same line of thought as compared with Bitcoin in my opinion. Now, Bitcoin price fluctuations has lead many people considering bitcoin as a bubble but it's naver a bubble and it won't be in the future. Some people has gotten a wrong mind set about bitcoun and they thought that with such attitudes, they can destroying the currency.

I must point out here that Bitcoin,obviously is following thesame rule as other fait currency except it been decentralized,that is ,without some persons control. This factor has become a pain in the mind many people and even many nations and governments.
Finally, Bitcoin is a currency and it's playing it economic roll as other visual money (fiat money) is doing.

at last someone who uses some brain before pressing the "Post" button. I agree with you wholeheartedly. As you well stated, even if it hit $2000 still no other bank would offer this same level of profitability.

Many people tend to forget that other traditional means of investment will never be able to match the great profitability of cryptos.

Thank you for reminding us of this aspect.

Lets face it,  BTC is in trouble.  bTC's Bubble exploded at 19k.  Now we are heading downto  3k or lower.  After that another journey for BTC.

Ok, so you can't use it to pay, almost no shops accept it. In fact the number of shops accepting it has been declining. It's pretty shitty too as a way to retain wealth (seeing it's dropping so hard). So how is this not a bubble exactly?

From my point of view, people who consider Bitcoin a bubble are those who have no knowledge and belief in Bitcoin as well as the cryptocurrencies market. Bitcoins, as well as Altcoins and Blockchain, are special things that the Creator has given us, it will revolutionize the monetary market as well as the economy of the world.

just like the time bitcoin went from 1200 tot 150 and stayed there for 2 years. btc is in trouble right now but this is nothing new.

Nothing new about that, we knows that the value of bitcoin are very volatile and it's a normal. This time the price of bitcoin are dropping and many people in this forum especially beginners are panic on what will happening now.

Of course, bitcoin is very special, I agree with you, bitcoin is not good nowadays because governments, banks and all the big players on the internet are a lot of scams to make falling bitcoin can be called public fraud, where if bitcoin is well managed by all circles of society and all the big players who are on the internet, I think in this day there are also many developments of bitcoin. After all, Bitcoin is not a bubble when managed very well.

Those who said that bitcoin is a bubble, they are the critics of bitcoin that if had a chance they will spread negative news to discourage people out of it. But you know they can crashed bitcoin but they can't kill it.

I also think that bitcoin is not a bubble. Bitcoin price is trading high because of the increasing demand of bitcoin, i think that this trend will continue for a long time because still very little number of people have knowledge about bitcoin and as soon as the number of bitcoin users is increasing the price of bitcoin will also continue increasing.

I do not think like you, can see that the price of the current bitcoin is reflecting the nature of the bubble. Bitcoin's price hike by the end of 2017 has hit $ 19800, the current drop has dropped by more than 70% in just three months and now stands at $ 7,000. Bitcoin prices have fallen, and market capitalization has been declining steadily and is now more than $ 280 billion. So I believe the bitcoin ball is breaking.

I think so. bitcoin is the future currency. I am its natural thing if in btc development there are those who agree and who do not agree, but bitcoin cant dammed with negative news, so i believeif btc have bright future, so I believe bubble will not happen

No, they're practically right. Its simply, they are being "economists" at this very point, its not doubt, uncertainty, and fear. I mean anytime it could happen, the downfall of Bitcoin that is. Also, an asset, a product or currency itself or whatever you call it, that doesn't really benefit the economy, then its just worthless to them. And because cryptocurrencies are decentralized and volatile, people are taking advantage of it and most of them are retiring from their jobs to focus entirely on cryptocurrency. With that it will result a big impact to the economy; the loss of executives and employees, may also be workforce, skillful personnel etc., that's why it is a threat to them. They just intend to help the economy.

Bubbling bubbles only occurred in 2013 were at that time there was a drastic increase of price pumping by several whales and companies. However, there are no such bubbles now as I see the last price pumping December 2017 the benefits are not only enjoyed by some but all users can benefit from the pumping.

Guys you have to realse that calling it a Bubble has it's point you can't simple prove me that it isn't cus there is way too work to be done before you can call it safe and fully usable currency therefore there is so much place for error anything can happen anytime soon ofcouse we all want to believe that it isnt and we will keep repeating it to ourslef but the fact is that there is a chance it may pop anytime countrys may ban it like some of them are doing now people may panic sell it to a level were it coudn't simple recover , there is lots of possible outcome's were all this can end badly just as there is possitive outcomes time will tell.

   Same bubble could be seen last year. On charts everything looks the same, big rise big drop, people
get in, some big whales get out, people get out, big whales come back in. Nothing out of the ordinary
in my opinion. People earn money, now Bitcoin is much more then it was and for all early adopters
this prices is more then high.
   In economy bubbles are fast rises, with simple words, after which you expect bubble to burst and
usually that happens. Bitcoin in 2013 could not hold $1200, Bitcoin in 2017 could not hold $19000.
But price now is more then $1200, believe that in 2021 bitcoin will not be able to hold $150k but it will
reach it and be there for a while.

The mainstream media has really a big factor on why peoplw believe that bitcoin is a bubble.Media News reports the risk and all the scams related to it. The thing about this, is that people are not oriented on how and why Cryptosystem works. Since Bitcoin demands amount of information to get full understand it.

Since bitcoin is now established, and has been developed over years. There were very big number of people in the market and it would take a phenomena to make sudden dump with it's price. The value is all dependent on the people and bitcoin is actually a decentralized which means no one has full control over it (nothing but the people who invested). Thus, I believe that bitcoin is not a bubble. Its technology is actually hard to corrupt.

Bitcoin is not a bubble.... We are very close to the stability of bitcoin price.....

No, you are wrong. Look what happened in December 2017. Price was inflated, many people invested because everyone was saying BTC will rise to even 500.000 USD! And then the bubble burst.

just for fun!!!  ;D ;D ;D
the title make me remember this video:

You may want to tell your story to the market first because market is what ultimately matters. Right now it doesn't look like Bitcoin is a life-changing financial discovery. This thought may give you some comfort and a bit of consolation indeed, but as is always the case, reality eventually kicks in. In fact, it has already kicked in and turning a blind eye to it will only make things worse for you personally. The longer you refuse to see them in their true light, the stronger will be your disappointment, frustration, and emotional distress when you finally open your eyes.

I like your post, it is very well said. For the people saying those negative things, surely they are not knowledgeable about bitcoin. Or maybe they are just afraid of bitcoin. There are some businesses that will be affected if bitcoin will be used by many. Just for example, the banks.

I agree with you I too believe that bitcoin is not a bubble. But the thing is that people who are saying such things or economists as what people would like to call them are really not that well educated yet about bitcoins or only know too few about it and refuses to know more because of their closed minds. Which is probably why they make such claims and say such things that would really make a bit sense to people that like them does not know that much about bitcoins yet or the whole crypto industry. But hey, that's their right and we cannot do sht to prevent them from saying what they want. So we might as well ignore them and spread as much positive things as we can like how they spread as much negate things.

Bitcoin is not a bubble , because that have best block chain technology and tons of potential to rise again and again in future , do not think that it could drop to zero price any day.

I agree with you. Why reject the truth. BTC was growing like crazy especially in September-December without any particular reason, it was all hype and speculation. We were in a bubble and now it burst. But at the same time I don't think it will go any lower than 6k. Strong support at this price. I think we will see 20k+ this year anyway. Bubble burst and it will recover because of the technology behind it.

BTC is definitively a bubble even if the price is $1

What is a bubble?
A bubble is a share where the price is so high that the profit rate is under the real profit rate.

With the BTC,we know that the profit is "zero"
It is why the BTC is definitively a bubble.

A bubble does not mean it is something you should not buy...you have just to know that it is very risky,because a bubble can...burst.

Obviously there is no way to consider bitcoin a bubble because it is not having a sort of temporary market or is a currency that is limited by use or time. There is a big lot of people who are enjoying making wealth and living the lives of their dreams with bitcoin. Those who are kind of against bitcoin are those who do not know in detail about bitcoin and its working. Once they make profit with it, they would not go against it.

The real reason behind economist and wall street experts saying that bitcoin is just a bubble and soon it will collapse, is because they don't want it to become popular, they don't want people using it and getting profit from it, because simply it is against their interest if bitcoin goes up, because simply think about it if a guys who owns billions of dollars in a stock market where it involves around fiat currencies, like USD/Euro or something of that sort, and if people find interest and profit in cryptocurrency which they did it will take over the whole trading market and everyone who invested their money in other things will lose a lot, and that is why they say that and that is why they are trying their hardest to bring this whole thing down.

Yes, Indeed. Bitcoin have a high potential against any other crypto, thousands of people believe in it as I do, even in his worst situation. It is not a bubble and never be a bubble, people who said for the reason to destroy bitcoin, but I know that there is a lot of true bitcoiner, they can't believe this FUDs never and ever.

I think you should educate yourself on what "a bubble" is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_bubble (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_bubble)
It's a financial construction, not a technological one.

The blockchain is a technology with great potential, and the value of cryptocurrency market is still far from a dot-com bubble. However, Bitcoin actually does have all the characteristics of the economic bubble (an asset at a price or price range that strongly exceeds the asset's intrinsic value).
At the end of the last year, it reached the point where it was one of the assets of the greatest value in history, backed up by what - a great potential? Bitcoin is an unfinished product worth over 7.000 USD per piece. It is a bubble. However considering its potential, its value is still far from the value it might reach. It means that in the end, it's the bubble that won't burst before its intrinsic value reaches the heights of its financial value. Then it won't be a bubble anymore.

Yes you're right bitcoin is not bubbles impact the popularity of bitcoin until now is still exist. Many people around the world invest their money in bitcoin. They give their fully trust in bitcoin. So bitcoin is legit.

The economist and the people who were calling bitcoin a bubble were not entirely wrong, the price has risen to almost $20k and look at the price a couple of months later, it has come down more than half of that valuation, but the funny thing is, the bitcoin market is like this and you need to understand the market you are dealing.

I hear you. Its quite annoying to know that most of these online "economists" are just kids who don't even have a clue about what bitcoin is or what it is trying to do. They think bitcoin is trying to become a stock or asset. They are missing the big picture by a long shot. Bumping up this thread for you.

A lot of people thought of bitcoin as a bubble because it drastically drops value at times. But if they put into account the continuous appreciation of bitcoin's value, they will understand that the value itself is an evidence that bitcoin's not a bubble or a ponzi scheme.

Yeah,you are right.It is not controlled by anyone like banks or government so it is not going to be a bubble but we are using bitcoin for money making not for its technology or others.So it might turns out to be a bubble if people do this for too long.
But this is a new technolofy people don't have any knowledge about it so they trust the rumors created by the bitcoin haters.

Really bitcoin is not a bubble , the popularity bitcoin is through its team achievement ,people adopt bitcoin because they trust that bitcoin can do good things to the end user, the bitcoin grow very fast ,and huge , others think it is a bubble after some time it burst and gone away ,but the true is the bitcoin stand up strong and rise to the top of the market index.

I don't consider bitcoin a bubble. Bitcoin has another fundamental Foundation and has a promising future.There is a growing demand for it from users and investors. In some well-developed countries, it is recognized as a legal tender.The demand for digital currency is growing. In States where the economy is very weak bitcoin Is an alternative means of payment. Used for savings.This leads to economic growth.Everywhere there is an economic crisis, the demand for bitcoin is growing.

Could you explain to us, non-economists, what Bitcoin is or what it is trying to do, in simple terms? As I see it, Bitcoin is used as a speculative asset, whether you like it or not. It doesn't matter if Satoshi envisioned it differently because you have to face the reality in which people primarily run Bitcoin as a vehicle for speculation. In other words, Bitcoin is what it is used as or for. If you want to say that it should be used as a means of exchange, I'm okay with that.

But then its price should be in single digits.

This is true that bitcoin is not bubble but the other thing is true that bitcoin is not stable currency, price of bitcoin use to rise and fall often, with market demand bitcoin increase and decrease but it never get stable price. At the start of bitcoin people were saying that bitcoin is only a bubble that will bust very soon but that day never come infect people now accept the reality and the benefits of bitcoin very well.

I dont think the bitcoin is bubble either. Yes bitcoin now  became more stable. The reasons why bitcoin so volatile cause the value of bitcoin mostly based on speculation and nothing backed bitcoin value so i do think there is something negatif about bitcoin.

Traditionalists rightly call the bitcoin price a bubble with the following reasoning:

1. A bubble is when the price is driven by irrational exuberance to levels way beyond it's fundamental value.
2. Bitcoin does not have value that could be determined with any of the economic models
3. Ergo, any price for BTC is representing a bubble

The problem, of course, is whether a fundamental value can be assigned to bitcoin to begin with. Very few people take the effort to define how such fundamental value could be determined, let alone base it on sound economic reasoning.

Another theory looks at the economic benefit which can be derived from BTC. These models take into account the utility of BTC together with it's supply and value chain integration. According to this, BTC should be priced at about USD 1000 at the moment. Using this view, BTC can be seens once again to be in bubble territory.

Given the fact, that there is no consensus view on what the fundamental value of BTC is supposed to be, in any discussion about whether BTC is a bubble or not, any position is equally valid.

What they call buble here is in terms of its price. and the clarity of who makes the price soar or fall, and the fact that happens to the market is like that right now. give. I prefer to call it an asset that has very high fluctuative properties. because the daily prices are changing very much.

Usually, bubble thing was coined in bitcoin because its price is volatile and it may lead to an instant loss. The term used in bitcoin just show how does the bitcoin delicates in people. But as we can see, bitcoin is not anymore a bubble thing. It was already part of our economy. It may lose its value but not right now. I am thinking that bitcoin as a bubble because we did not see or hold it physically and we don't really knows what will be our future in bitcoin.

well everything that has make a huge price that wasnt really truthful is a bubble if we speaks about reality..imagine how huge bitcoin price did last December 2017 and now here is the outcome,when the market having its corrections the price suddenly drops means this is the true price..so we holders must wait for another months or years to feel again our profits because this cant be overnight movement

Bitcoin is not a bubble, it's just that he has too high a volatility.  ::)

Five facts, according to Nasdaq, why bitcoin is not a bubble:
1. The Growing Acceptance of Bitcoin as Legal Tender
2. Increasing Merchant Adoption
3. Bitcoin Is Increasingly Acting as a Store of Wealth in Distressed Economies
4. Bitcoin Has Only Just Gone Mainstream
5. Bitcoin’s Supply Is Limited

,,,That's right!, because some other people thought that bitcoin was a bubble and assuming that they had more knowledge regarding the ability of bitcoin even though they are lack of information or the details of crypto. I think they should better to investigate first for their info.

It used to be at 19 thousand dollars, and then bla. So those people whom I don't think are experts, non the less must feel that they were right.

Bitcoin is not really in trouble, the price went down by a significant margin but that doesn't mean that bitcoin is in trouble that just means that the people that were investing in bitcoin without thinking about the consequences of doing so have run out of money so the ones that are in trouble are the investors that put their money blindly in bitcoin not bitcoin itself, bitcoin is still as strong as it has ever been and the developers are doing the best job they can so bitcoin remain that way, so I do not read think that we are going to reach 3000 that seems to low probably the price we are seeing right now is one of the lowest points of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is as strong as people who are using it. It should be as simple and easy to understand as click on a mouse button. It doesn't matter what developers are doing, though I don't think they are doing much nowadays anyway, since if people stop using Bitcoin, it will be dead instantly. In this fashion, people who have invested in Bitcoin and "put their money blindly in bitcoin" only to suffer tremendous losses are also what makes Bitcoin.

I do agree with your that bitcoin Is not having any stable price but it is good for us, when we get the chance of low price in market we should buy bitcoin so that we can save it for long time and if we see the price of bitcoin high then sell at huge profit, this phenomena in bitcoin is very natural it does happen, so we cannot call bitcoin a bubble for it. Demand of bitcoin is now increasing so I prefer holding bitcoin even if you see the price of bitcoin not very high, because increasing price is very certain in bitcoin.

First of all, you take as a given something that isn't a given. "If something is scarce and many people want it, then, its value will eventually increase." I don't see a reason many people will eventually want Bitcoin. You're just hoping more people in the future will want Bitcoin, but you don't know they will. Nobody knows this, nor can they even know this. The only thing we know for certain is that fewer people want Bitcoin right now than did in December when it was trading at over $19,000. If this wasn't true, you wouldn't have had a price collapse.

Second, the bold text from your OP isn't very sound. Bitcoin is not special. There is nothing about Bitcoin that gives it the ability to defy the laws of economics, but this is what you have to mean when you say it's special. Bitcoin is not a company that can lose profitability; this is true because it's not a company that produces any profit. It's just an asset, and as only an asset it is only worth what everyone decides it is. While this is true for stocks as well, the difference is that stocks represent a legal ownership of a business that produces profit, and therefore has inherent value. Bitcoin doesn't. As you say, it's not a speculative real estate scam that could collapse, but it is a speculative asset that can collapse, and I would say in some respects, has collapsed or is collapsing.

I first discovered bitcoin way back 2016. That time btc’s price was only $500-600. A lot of experts said it was a bubble. Now, 1 btc is already $6500K  many experts said again it was a big bubble.

I don't believe it is a bubble. If it was it should have popped up and gone years after its struggle with its haters. There are so many people who have nothing to do with one self except for being critques of bitcoin. They spread fear which I think wad really unnecessary. They would want it banned. And so many other things that could have destroyed bitcoin. And yet none was successful in pulling out bitcoin from its current position among all coins. If it  is indeed a bubble then let us respect their ideas. Let them blow the bubbles they say and let us see how they could destroy it. That is if they could. In their dreams!

I also dont believe that bitcoin is a bubble, we all know that bitcoin is in bear market now therefore there will be time for bull market also. We dont have to worry because there are a lot of bitcoin supporters. Saying that bitcoin is a bubble is just a rumors made by the people who hates bitcoin or made by the people who feel envy to the people who gained a lot of profit. So lets just continue supporting bitcoin and help it recover.

Bitcoin is better and getting even better.  A lot of people already been successful with this. Therefore,  Japan is also on the bitcoin side. So expect that success is upcoming. I wonder why some are being negative on it.  They should give it a try and see to their self. 

Yeah market is now bear we can not wait now we can wait by supporting bitcoin community to stay solid. and in my opinion bubble already happened from february and it is very reasonable because the bitcoin increase in 2017 is very very big so be reasonable if bubble happened as it is today.

What trouble? You are a Senior Member here and still you are not seeing how far bitcoin went for the past 1 year?
It is not in trouble, it had made a lot of price hike. The real problem is people getting used with a larger price. Why not look at its value?

Now regarding the bubble. I agree with the OP. It is not a bubble. It is just those organizations will keep on bringing bitcoin down so that people will go back to the traditional investment. They might not like the competition because of the billion dollars that are now coming into the crypto world. They want it. Who doesnt? They profit from it. The money they will spend for spreading false news will be nothing compared to what they will profit if they can pull people out of crypto.

There are three types of people that says such.

First we have those that missed the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin when it was at a cheaper rate, so they are boiling with anger whenever they see others making profit and enjoying the benefits that comes from Bitcoin. These kind of people will always say all kind nonsense to make sure that Bitcoin falls. If they succeed in getting the price to fall, they will be like ‘oh it’s down, let’s check it out’…

Next are just writers and journalists looking for what to write about, and when they don’t find any good thing to write about, they just go about shouting Bitcoin is bubble, just to get people’s attention and also promote themselves.

The next group are people are just people who don’t really have interest, but are thinking that Bitcoin will destroy what they believe in, so they have to do anything possible to see to it that Bitcoin is kicked.
But all these people never succeed, rather all they do is make people see the potential of Bitcoin. They even help to make it popular!

Here what a bubble means is something that is very volatile and can just disappear by blooming or growing for a while. Now since information about bitcoin and its creation is so limited that it is very anonymous. On top of it, the volatility of bitcoin have always been scary. Sometimes super high, and sometimes extreamly low. That have been the story of bitcoin so far. Thus whenever it starts rising, minds with speculation and some knowledge of economy start calling it a bubble, while they dont do so when the prices are very low.
Its just a terminology for something as volatile as bitcoin.

For me yes bitcoin is a bubble currency. Because of his unstable price anytime bitcoin can be fall in zero. Thats be wise and be careful about investing. But i think that wouldnt happen. I trust bitcoin more than other coin.

I can't call bitcoin a currency. It does not have the properties of a currency. This is a means of payment and this is the biggest problem. Each user of bitcoin is constantly forced to use exchangers. Fiat is our trouble. The idea of creating bitcoins was to be able to abandon Fiat. But this did not happen and for this reason the government can track all users.

What you're saying is very weird, the developers are incredibly important for bitcoin you are talking as if people would just use bitcoin just because they want or just because they have to, and that is not the case people are going to use bitcoin because it benefits them because they have a use for it so the better the technology behind bitcoin the more people are going to be behind it, so the job of the developers is extremely important and also you are talking as if they do not do much when they are working in one of the most important developments of bitcoin, the lightning network.

I can name 5 reasons why bitcoin can not be called a bubble:
1. The legal exchange facility;
2. When bitcoin has gained popularity, the potential demand for it from new investors is huge;
3.  Demand from commercial structures;
4. The number of bitcoins is limited;
5. Preservation of wealth in troubled economies.

It’s all are just narrative from people or investors who can afford the price, but wanted to buy at least lesser to gain more profits. Is it bubble? Nope it is selfishness that most of us is guilty with. I am and I can’t deny it, but do I use this arguments? bubble, negative news and fuds? Certainly not, because it doesn’t make any sense at all. If bubble burst, their is no such thing as new bubble created. So it means, bitcoin be in zero when we called it bubble.

Bitcoin itself is not a bubble, it is a currency and an asset but what happened at the end of december and the beginning of january had all the characteristics of a bubbly but that is over now.

Of course bitcoin is not a bubble because if bitcoin is a bubble then a lot of people will just leave it and they will find another coin that they will think that is not a bubble, a lot of people announced their opinion about bitcoin that it is a bubble when the price hit $10,000 but bitcoin even goes up to $20,000 to prove that it is not a bubble.

Those who say that bitcoin is a bubble, or it is not profitable for them, if bitcoin will grow, or they bought $ 20,000 each and now do not know what to do and justify saying that bitcoin is a bubble. And the rest are just stupid and spread false rumors.

Disputes over the" bubble " continue. Personally, I think that bitcoin is not a bubble.Bitcoin has a completely different fundamental basis than the shares of Internet companies.Over time, there are new bitcoin users, but the oversaturation of the market does not occur Because the number of bitcoin coins is limited. The cryptocurrency market has a positive impact on the economies of underdeveloped countries. Bitcoin is an alternative means of payment and is used to save savings.Given the growing demand for bitcoins, it can become a full-fledged means of payment around the world.

right. and in this year many predict that bitcoin will rise more than $ 20k. so for future boundary btc will be even higher again as it penetrated last year's resistant and there is plan soros will enter its fund in cryptos

It certainly is not. I dont think it even matters what economist wannabes want to think. Whats important is we believe in bitcoin. We can't listen to all the negativity and the fud they're going to let out in order to pull bitcoin down. And we're not backing down because of that. We will be here to support bitcoin all the way.

Have read articles and some topics already in this forum claiming that bitcoin is just a bubble that is about to pop anytime of the day. Well, until now, they keep on looking for that time when it really pops because bitcoin seems to be proving them wrong all the time.

Bitcoin already prove them wrong and we can see that in the price of bitcoin and if bitcoin is a bubble then it will pop as the price reaches the highest point and $20,000 is its highest point and that is when we expected that the bubble pop but it just go down like a normal hyped market and now it is moving up back again to that highest point and trying to exceed to that price.

Bitcoin is not a bubble. It is a developing competitor to electronic payment systems VISA / MASTERCARD.
In addition, it has one of the important functions as a currency in which other coins based on the blockchain are nominated. These new crypto coins have many practical applications and hence the price of bitcoin will grow as higher the use of altcoin.

Everyone is entitled to his opinions. Bitcoin has been a bubble since 2010  - you may have heard this allegation from those who is too coward to invest their earnings in crypto. This situation remains unchanged. Don't waste time telling the obvious - just get a profit while you still can.

Many people compare bitcoins to tulips of Holland in seventeenth Century. This is quite different. It's ridiculous. Bitcoin has a strong community support, and tulip can only be passed between the Royal aristocracy, block chain technology can change many industries, and tulips can not change anything, I think bitcoin has no bubble.

"Bitcoins are not a currency provided with something. This commodity (commodity - Ed.) Is rarely like baseball cards, stamps, gold or oil," explains Sean Townsend.

Bitcoin course is very unstable. For example, even the rumor of the "evil" bitcoin system can cost a few hundred dollars - people will hurry to get rid of the currency.

The more people find out about bitcoins, the greater the demand for it. For example, one Prague investigator, Ladislav Kristikuuk, found that the more people "coughed" information about bitcoins, the higher his course.

Also, this is promoted by "Pampers" - experienced players on the exchange, which have a lot of bitcoins. As soon as they see that interest in the currency is falling, then they begin to buy Bitcoins. So they create a visibility of interest in criminals. Newbies start to panic and buy bitininks too. When the course reaches its peak, "Pampers" begin to drop and sell their bitcoins. On June 9, the bitcoin rate is $ 2,822.

Therefore, to consider Bitkhin bubble Ibb did not become. Although anyone who does not understand well on this issue may have such thoughts.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency discovery that will change the future. Those who claim to be balloons are usually those who are harmless by ignorant, ignorant, or amateur investing. Since they can not accept their own ignorance or mistakes, they are guiding the other way by giving the example of a balloon. Also, those who think that it is a balloon will be better off just watching the market without investing instead of talking blankly.

Certainly, it is not a bubble as it has been in existence for 8 years now. A bubble cannot exist for so long and they usually run away with money in months.

Nothing in your list is a decisive factor which would prevent Bitcoin from being or turning into a bubble. Some of them are factors which can be said as preventive to a degree but none is enough and sufficient. On the other hand, the potential demand for it, for example, actually contributes to Bitcoin turning or having turned into a bubble given the lack of real adoption and use. When these halt or just lack while the price grows, it is a sure sign of a growing bubble.

The price of bitcoin is what it becomes a bubble, but bitcoin in itself is not a bubble you just have to look at the great things that bitcoin does, bitcoin allow to us to send money all over the world without any interference by a third party by paying a decent fee, and that is not a small thing in fact that is huge just look at inefficient services like Western Union they charge you a fortune to send your payments to other parts of the world, not only that you require an identification in order to claim your money while in bitcoin this is not the case if I send you money with bitcoin you do not need the permission of anyone else or to identify yourself.

I have no doubt that during the Dutch tulip mania, people were calling tulips a "store of value".

People should learn what a bubble actually is. Bitcoin's market operating in bubble territory doesn't mean it will completely vanish when the bubble deflates. Markets all go through a bubble stage every couple of years, which is completely normal. The standards however are the main difference here -- where traditional markets usually need an increase of 40-50% to be considered a bubble, Bitcoin with its consistent increases is always considered to be a bubble according to the transitional standards. From that perspective it's pretty understandable, but when you look at how new this market still is, and understand what even a few billion of capital entering this market can do, there is no real bubble. I consider it to be progress....

This could be a fluence of governments and rich guys, who does not want for regular people to be wealthy and free with help of bitcoin, so it good for them to decieve us.

Yes that is very right to say,i also think that it is not a bubble, ii s in fact the actual increase in the price of bitcoin. The current increase in the price of bitcoin is due to the increasing demand of bitcoin, and i am sure that this demand will continue for a long time, because still bitcoin is trading in a low price and there are much more possibility of its increase.

None of these explains why Bitcoin can't be a bubble.

1. Legal exchange facility. What does this even mean? It's either an incomplete thought, or perhaps a misnomer of something that may actually exist, but either those words don't disprove the Bitcoin bubble claim.

2. Popularity. Something being popular doesn't mean it's not a bubble. In fact, it's more likely that because something increases in popularity quickly it is a bubble. Bitcoin certainly fits this as people rush in trying to make easy money. Bitcoin's popularity is owed to the mania around people trying to get rich quick. That's prime bubble territory. Nobody can be certain right now that Bitcoin's popularity isn't a fad. You're speculating it's not, which is why buying Bitcoin is more speculating than investing.

3. Demand from commercial structures. Lol, please. There's virtually no commercial demand for a Bitcoin as an alternative to the dollar. Institutionally, something like Ripple is far more likely to eventually be used than Bitcoin for business purposes in the financial sector. That's not to say there won't eventually be commercial demand, but there certainly isn't now and therefore certainly no proof this isn't a bubble.

4. Limited supply. Plenty of things have a limited supply, but if they suddenly shot up in price because of mass delusional mania, they would be a bubble too. Limited supply doesn't mean something isn't a bubble.

5. Preservation of wealth in troubled economies. "In troubled economies" is the operative phrase here. As long as there is a stable world economic system, Bitcoin may have utility for certain emerging economies with weak and undependable local currencies. But if the US itself suffers a massive economic meltdown, Bitcoin dies in the crib because nobody is going to hold or seek a purely speculative asset when everything is falling apart. But the speculation that Bitcoin may eventually have utility in such a limited scope for emerging economies certainly doesn't prove it's not a bubble.

It's not a bubble there was just a FUD because of that people got panic and sold their coins at a loss. And because of that, it was crashing but now its stable.

That probably happened, but we also need to recognize the difference between some tulips and bitcoin, tulips besides being beautiful never had any kind of use, second they could never be a store of value because tulips are a plant and we know that plants eventually die, that is why a store of value needs to be something like gold which is very resistant in fact that is one of the characteristics of money, bitcoin in the other hand has some utility as a currency, it is not the best currency around the world because the fees are high and the confirmations are slow but the fact that you can send money all over the world and store it in a wallet that only belongs to you and no one else is a valuable service.

Well, Bitcoin is not a bubble but we should not blame the people who are saying it because it is something that is happening for the first time in the history of mankind. They (even some of us) cannot digest the rate of growth of Bitcoin and crypto industry. On the other hand, there are the people who are using it to execute their scams and it is damaging the overall goodwill of Bitcoin because most of the people don't know what Bitcoin is all about and how it works. It will take at least a decade for most of the people to understand the core concept of cryptocurrencies.

that's right, the change in bitcoin value is not a bubble. bitcoin is a very popular crypto currency that many changes and profits will come in many people's economy. so many people buy it, and sell it when needed. and now the bitcoin increase is still ongoing, but there are no signs that this is a bubble.

Definitely it is, but some individuals really think that it is just a bubble and it could burst anytime. We know that they don't have any concrete ideas that proves it was like that,  only they are just seen the up and down price which mean for them a bubble.

it's because they do not understand bitcoin and have never seen the history of bitcoin trip before, so they can only guess and predict that this is a bubble.

Those who   said that  bitcoin   is a bubble, they  are the  critics of  bitcoin that  if had  a chance  they will  spread negative  news to  discourage  people out of it.

who says that bitcoin is a bubble, yes bitcoin hits a market last year with a good value and suddenly it drops but doesnt mean it is a bubble until now the price is good enough for the people who still believe in bitcoin.

Well to those people say that bitcoin is a bubble they did not truly understand what can bitcoin brings to their life but we cannot blame them because different people different point of views, So the best thing we can do is to ignore them and lets focus to become successful in bitcoin world.

Bitcoin is often compared to various bladders, for example with tulip fever. But Bitcoin is different from everything we saw before, and maybe in ten years its market capitalization will be huge, as it will become a new global currency.

I used to work for MLM companies many years and I was always told that you do pyramid schemes and Ponzi. I listened to them and still did my own thing. When they was a couple of years ago said that bitcoin is another pyramid and it will soon collapse, I also did my own way. But now, when all those who told me, I show them my results, they are very nervous and bite their fists. It's late... Although you can still earn. Bitcoin is about to take off.

No! I don't think bitcoin is bubble because until now the price of bitcoin still good for peoples whom still believed in bitcoin and bitcoin still can give us high profit.
I think is not important to care about what they said, we just need to focus how we can be come successful in this bitcoin world.

yes you are right bitcoin not like bubbles, bitcoin I personally think more like wave because I see bitcoin have movement up and down like wave.

Btc is not bubble what is bubble ? Fiat is Bubble starting from 1976 if i am not wrong fiat is not insured by gold so its just printed by Goverments who knows how much USD is printed?

I gagree on this cause until now bitcoin is live so how you say that bitcoin is a bubble afterall. Cause bitcoin is running for twenty years so why you have To do is the best . Bitcoin is bitcoin nothing more nothing less. I think that the best future of bitcoin is will be dont in the future soon.  Increasing people that know bitcoin is increasingly its value too

Bitcoin is not really a bubble however it's price can be subject to form bubbles but that is not really the fault of bitcoin, what happens is that people begin to see the price rise in and then they begin to invest heavily in bitcoin thinking the price is going to keep going up and this artificially pumps the price even further creating a bubble and then a crash, but we cannot say that is bitcoin fault at all.

For me  bitcoin is a buble currency its because there are news that sime of the supply of bitcoin is missing the other is on circulation and other is on satoshi. Thats why if it will continue missing some supply there probably that bitcoin will pop like a bubble.

A bubble cannot survive for this long. Bubble is based on no real value but blockchain and crypto solve real problems as they are being used as a payment medium.

Absolutely I agree. Already in a very short time, we will always witness the rise of bitcoin. It's also a fact that when the bubble conversations start to turn, the bitcoin rises incredibly.

yes, I agree with you. an increase in market prices due to an increase in demand for bitcoin. so very reasonable if bitcoin prices can be very high

It's not a bubble, those who keep on talking that bitcoin is a bubble are just new or they really don't know the history of bitcoin. There are other investments that can be categorized as a bubble but the bitcoin community isn't even dragging those things. Anyway bitcoin has been told as a bubble for so many years and it won't stop for the upcoming years, we just have to get used to it.

I think that is just bad rumors and it will make investors become fearful and anxious. This is indirectly for the market to become crisis. However, for longtime investors or experienced people, they always believed in Bitcoin and now they have become successful thanks to it.

The number of people using it as a payment medium is a very small subset of people who own Bitcoin, which is a very small percentage of the overall population. This is commonly overstated. Bitcoin in reality isn't solving any real world problems right now. It's a niche product for a niche market. Also, bubbles do last this long. The real estate bubble inflated for more than a decade before popping. The duration of a bubble doesn't disprove it's a bubble. The determining factor is if people suddenly decide (realize) that the underlying asset is overvalued and stop buying it at those prices. That's what happened to Bitcoin which is why it fell from $19,000 to under $8,000. That was a mini bubble pop. There's no reason the rest of it can't pop.

I certainly agree with you. Bitcoin's votality do not necessarily mean that it is a bubble. We all know that bitcoin has passed all the tests of time and it has changed a lot of lives already. This currency has been an asset and a way of easier transaction in every corners of the world.

As far as I know. Satoshi Nakamoto or a group of developers with this name, set the task to find an alternative to currency bubbles that were previously. Of the recent crises - dotcom, when the system almost flew in different directions. And again look released a bunch of paper money (fiat USD). The next dollar bubble just won't hold and will burst. I am sure that bitcoin can safely replace it.

Of course it is not a bubble, because it has changed so many lives, including mine! So I would say that as long as you can live out of it, it is alive :)

           I am not really particular and also not in favor of the idea about replacing the currency one after another, if they could actually collide or if it is possible then why not, besides as of now we need cash or fiats, and at the same time we want cryptp to exist in our future too. And also i am not really fond of the idea also of bitcoin as a bubble.

I do not agree:
BITCOIN is a bubble.
A bubble nowadays worth over $6000

This same bubble was worth $20000 not long time ago.
This same bubble can be worth $100000 or only $100 or perhaps less.
So are bubbles...

Bitcoin is not a bubble cause we all now is to invest it in a countries. Cause bitcoin can lift, the world at war. Cause I know that bitcoin and other information. Cause we should do that their money value will decrease they can say that they own site, the future is near the best for me to buy it is a new cryptocurrency

I agree with you. But it seems to me that these people hate bitcoin only in public, but at the same time they buy it and build up their positions.

I don't really think that Bitcoin is a bubble. A bubble means that it's a short moment, which is not the case with bitcoin. But I understand that some people say so, as the price of bitcoin is so volatile

yeah indeed, bitcoin movement to getting profit its need a lot of time to make it much profit when investing in it, not just in the short term invest that people can earn

 because Bitcoin now has it's boundary on its drop and would not become zero, unless people will stop patronizing cryptocurrencies.

I agree to this I now that bitcoin is not a bubble cause we all know that bitcoin is living until now. Just trust bitcoin and see how things work out. The best way rise of money will rise to invest in recent years, the future of our government. Real life, read those two decades. I am enjoying reading them to bull market

Bitcoin is not a bubble, contrary to the widespread and dishonest statements of bank representatives. In bitcoin, there was a bubble in 2013, when demand for bitcoin rose to such an extent that the market could not support it anymore, and the cost of bitcoins fell from $ 1,300 to $ 200.

bitcoin is nt bubble bitcoin is an asset and can be called as currency as well but bitcoin is no way related to bubble kind of structure it is false statement on bitcoin

When it comes to bitcoin, there are only owners of crypto currency and there are no banks. The most important guarantees kriptovalyut: no one can access to someone else's account without directly mastering a private key from this wallet. Emission of new funds is subject to a certain formula and additional funds can not be printed at anybody's will.

Yes it is right. Investors do not need to worry about the price and they have to buy as much as possible as there are some whale who are selling their coins only to buy at a lower price. If the investors will buy now then they will get the profit if they will not buy and will fear from the price then they will lose the opportunity and will lose the chance to buy at a lower price.

actually it IS, just like any other bubble, a bubble in an investment is when people are just following the hype to buy something, even property or real estate investment can also become a bubble!
You see bitcoin reaching its ATH within short term of time because people are so hyped by bitcoin back then that the mainstream media always talk about bitcoin nonstop, that's what I call bubble and when prices going down, the bubble popped.

Bitcoij price is trading so stable and is getting such a strong support from its investors there I would also think that bitcoin is not a bubble but it is trading in its actual price, it is only because of the increasing interest of the people, i think that people interest will increase in future which will also increase bitcoin price.

Well, it's really up to the masses if they are going to believe them or not. Those people calling themselves experts are just speculators and predictors which is their opinion. Those opinions are base from their perspective and is neither truth or false. If the said that "Bitcoin is a bubble", it's their own opinion, because the truth is, it's kind of sad how the market shifts in just a month, from $20,000 to $10,000 and currenctly sitting at $6,000, no wonder they are calling Bitcoin as bubble. But It is kind of our fault that it came this way, it's greed that lead us to this negativity. But never worry as the future is still bright for us.

Globally, the more businesses use Bitcoin, the more stable the demand for digital currency. Given the current low commercial usage of Bitcoin, there is still a lot of room for development.
The discussion on whether or not there is a bubble in Bitcoin may continue indefinitely. From the current point of view, Bitcoin has become the mainstream now!

Of course, bitcoin is not a bubble. It has been going through a process that has been going through for 10 years. It's something that we've noticed that bitcoins do not fly and disappear like the bubble that some people say.

Yes, although a lot of people make it sound like bitcoin itself is a bubble and by that it means it has no real value which it actually does. However, like you said, any asset can enter a state of bubble which is no one is exempted.

For instance, a lot of investors even said gold has been in a state of bubble for over 4000 years and it is believed that a time may actually come that it could burst which something like that actually happened around 1980 or thereabout. In short, anything can be in a state of bubble, and that is what people should understand.

 Wow what a serious post? MARKET IS VOLATILE anything can happened at any given time, market price value can goes and can goes down, NO ONE CAN PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPENED NEXT TO BITCOIN. Yes, market value of Bitcoin and all other crypto currency is dropping but it doesn't mean Bitcoin will close account....? If you go back how Bitcoin able to survived with all the issue confronting it, then it will rebound again after this market glitz, some posted above the treed are ALARMIST, with a little knowledge about the market behavior. Relax, hold on to your Bitcoin, let wait for the market to recover...

Bitcoin is not a bubble I agree with your point of view, if bitcoin is a ball, then we can not see them live and develop or have the same happenings as they did today. You will not be able to hold it long enough

I believe that bitcoin is a bubble, you can see that this is increasingly evident when bitcoin prices are constantly falling and still can not recover. Bitcoin has lost more than 70% of its value since it touched $ 19800, which is currently heading at $ 6400, and bitcoins will probably reach $ 5400 if they keep the current downturn.

In my own opinion, I can say that bitcoin is not a bubble, because it's really unpredictable to be bubble. It doesn't go up continuously, and also it becomes stable sometimes. Bitcoin also recovers, we can't predict bitcoin, especially if it becomes stable in a mid price range, we can say that it might go up or it might go down. We can't really say because its price is too volatile to predict, it's change of price is too sudden.

Absolutely!
I hate people saying that bitcoin is a bubble of a financial pyramid - it means that they are completely unaware of blockchain technology, its way of functioning and its benefits.
At the same time, the price of bitcoin is indeed affected by the processes on the market. Demand and supply are inconstant values, and excessive supply in the form of panic selling can sometimes break down all our expectations.

At least, if we are to consider how the price of bitcoin has been for some years now, one can actually say it is in a state where the last year bubble popped and then we are trying to find a very good support now.

There is no doubt that we experienced a bubble last year and even though that does not make bitcoin a bubble, but the hype that came about was a bubble which we are passing through the huge corrective phase right now. However, it is always like that and could happen to any asset, gold which it has happened before in the past, real estate, silver, name it.

We have different point of view about this topic. Some coiners are saying that bitcoin is a bubble although they are a bitcoin believer and investor still they address it as a bubble.

And it's popular to not investors of bitcoin are addressing it as a bubble and they never get tired of calling it.

They have their own reason to say it and most of them really hates bitcoin and it can also be a reason because they are working to a banking unit.

The growth of bitcoin happens in a random manner. When people were not expecting growth it peaks high and drops low in unexpected time period. This marks bitcoin to be a bubble, in reality this has never been a bubble. Just the overall view looks like a bubble and fearing the same more people get into panic.

Hate is a term holding serious weight. I don't think it's hate in most cases, but just people in general not understanding that these movements are perfectly normal for a finite supply asset that from nothing becomes something. You really have to experience what's going on in order to figure out that what initially you thought didn't make sense actually does make sense. If people aren't even interested in giving it a chance, then they will remain as they are.

In case of banks it might be a bit different, but they will (some already are) get involved in this market. They will eventually become entities replacing or acquiring all current exchanges. If you don't have that first mover advantage, you just aquire them. The few hundred million they cost is peanuts for financial institutions.

We are talking about bubble here and some people think Bitcoin is a bubble but I would say they need to broaden their knowledge about the technology a bit more.

There are some good and wise people who cashed the opportunity in the start and learned about the technology and invested in it which has proved worth millions of dollars in 2017. This means Bitcoin is not a bubble and in an international currency that might even outshine dollar.

The web is loaded with individuals alluding to bitcoin as an "bubble." They are spreading apprehension, vulnerability, and uncertainty in abundance. They trust bitcoin's high value spells approaching fate, yet their reactions move past insignificant wariness. It appears like they simply detest digital currency. However a significant number of these intellectuals don't completely get a handle on bitcoin… or even financial aspects. Bitcoin is uncommon. It's anything but an organization that could lose benefit and fall flat. It is absolutely not a theoretical land trick that could disintegrate because of government and bank-actuated sophistry. Bitcoin is another creature.

Bitcoins bring with them a lot of political contradictions. This is because no government can fully control them. They are an explicit form of wealth for individuals, and no state can expropriate them because of the cryptography that underlies this crypto currency.

John Matonis is sure that the fears associated with the "bubble" crypto-currency are unreasonable. On the contrary, it is the stock markets that have always been artificially "inflated" by central banks.

Bitcoin is slowly beginning to implement applications in life, accepted by people, accepted by some businesses, and even accepted by some companies!
Governments have also gradually recognized BTC!

I guess they say bitcoin as a bubble so many people panic and it can make bitcoin fall, so they can buy bitcoin cheaply. Bitcoin is not a bubble but bitcoin is a perfect coin and will last in the long run.

Bitcoin is very similar to gold. Gold is also difficult to extract and reserves are limited. So although the actual use of gold is not large, it has been circulating as a universal currency for a long time.
Bitcoin is limited. However, there are no quotas for other blockchain-based cryptocurrencies.

I think near time will show us if it is a bubble or not, cause nowadays we could say that the price is getting down and down, but future will show if this period was only for a moment or it will last forever.

I believe bitcoin is the bubble and what you see is the current bitcoin bust is breaking, you can see that the crypto market is steadily declining and falling into crisis, bitcoin and altcoin prices. are continuously decreasing in the past days. I believe that with the current fluctuations bitcoin prices will probably continue to fall in the long term and will probably reach the $ 2,000 mark by the end of 2018.

For me yes bitcoin is a bubble currency. Because of his unstable price anytime bitcoin can be fall in zero. Thats be wise and be careful about investing. But i think that wouldnt happen. I trust bitcoin more than other coin.

Absolutely I agree.  btc solve main two problem, dicentralize and privacy!

good post

Zero? That's highly unlikely if you ask me. Bitcoin has grown a long esy and has reached people's awareness that eventually it will be a common thing. It's support also is not something that can be disregarded. It's a bubble probably, but even if it burst, it's just going to inflate again

I think People seem to be too drowning in the idea that bubbles should end with something that falls to 0.
As some others have mentioned, Bitcoin definitely has bubbles, but that does not mean that it is a worthless asset. There's a famous bubble like a really crazy tulip bubble and nobody supports it but it does not happen to bitcoin. The bubble in this case is no different than what we see with the price of the house or stock, the above price increase where it should be and then corrects it back to a more reasonable level.

  Bitcoin is the best choice for us, it is not a bubble it is future maker for us. Rise and fall use to happen but we will not have to take any tension, about it, we often see a lot of people selling bitcoin and many have seen as long term holders, so it is all about our determination and our faith for bitcoin, it is not a bubble for sure, bitcoin is an investment and it is saving for us, which will never let us fall ever, those who are calling is a bubble are foolish one.

Bitcoin is not bubble. because bitcoin backed by blockchain technology. blockchain technology is very unique that is going to rule the future, investors that invest to bitcoin are actually investing to this unique technology.

I believe bitcoin will increase soon, this time we can see that bitcoin price going down but everytime I saw the price of it I just remember the volatility of bitcoin. In fact bitcoin now was slowly accepting by different business. Some people already accept it as a rule of payment. What we can do now was to value every bitcoin that we have.

It seems like they were kind of right in that it popped at $20,000. Not trying to be negative because everything could be a bubble. It just is what it is. I'm going to continue supporting it, but people who listened to them probably saved themselves from losing a lot of money.

They just happened to be right not because of knowledge though. They probably were secretly buying.

Many noobs thought bitcoin market as a bubble because it drastically drops value at times. But if they put into account the continuous appreciation of bitcoin's value, they will understand that the value itself is an evidence that bitcoin's not a bubble or a ponzi scheme.

Yeah I believe that too and bitcoin gives us a privacy and we can store our bitcoin safely then it has a chance to gain a lot of profit and I hope bitcoin will recognize as one of the global currencies.

for those who don't know well the crypto world and also have never invested in bitcoin, they must call bitcoin is a bubble that can break at any time, or a big scam. they see from the rapid and unreasonable price changes that occur in late 2017 to early 2018. this is normal.

if you still have invested in bitcoin and currently enjoying its up and down, when people are buying and selling, then bitcoin is not a bubble, unlike any other crypto that has initially offers high returns then you wake up one morning you cannot convert it to exchanges nor trade it, then those coins are bubble, you see, bitcoin is otherwise, we can see the healthy market cap with bitcoin on the top of all other coins.

While i admire the OP's resolution to BTC or any crypto currency not being a bubble. I'd like to take it with a grain of salt. We will lose nothing if we hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Alot of people, including me, have been diversifying our investments like crazy. Me personally i view crypto currency as a midterm investment and just invest money I'm willing to lose.

If bitcoin a buble, rockerfeller funds and soros funds won't to look on cryptomarket. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is new kind investment instrument and many firm aware that and they just waiting government issuing regulation.

Whatever they call it is their own business, I’ve made lots of money from Bitcoin so I don’t care what people call it. There are lots of people who are making money from Bitcoin, so all these economists can go ahead and say whatever they choose to say.

This is not the first time I’m hearing that Bitcoin is a bubble, I’ve heard it several times and it makes no changes at all, things will still be the same.

I wrote a big post once about the Bubble and the Ponzi scheme. Happen again. The us dollar has not been backed up by gold or other precious reserves for a long time. Almost all Fiat money has no real value in the equivalent of jewelry. Bitcoin also does not have, but this does not mean that they will not create a law that equates the price of 1 coin to a gram of gold, or a diamond, or a barl of oil. This is the economy of the countries in the future. This is the right vector of development.

Initially, some people said that bitcoin was created for use by terrorist organizations around the world. But I also believe that bitcoin was created to replace the Fiat money

I think for me bitcoin is not a bubble because we know the price of bitcoin is increasing  but sometimes become low but that is nomal of pricing of bitcoin and we know in srarting price of bitcoin is low but we can see now the price of bitcoin is increasing and there a chance to  become reach the original price so that for me bitcoin is not a bubble but continues to increase.

BItcoin is not bubble yes i agreed on that,but it was being pumped so many thought its a bubble .imagine how huge the price went when whales put their funds on this coin and suddenly after many had ride with the growth they withdraw all capitals reason why the value drops dip and many investors trapped on this fake pumped

But most of your stands is indeed and i believe on your point of views

In my opinion, Bitcoin was created as a currency that would be an alternative to all Fiat. Maybe the price of bitcoin has increased artificially, but it is our fault. We sedated him with speculative capital. Now the price has returned to the actual indicator. Maybe now the bitcoin volatility will decrease and the price will grow slowly. I do not see any signs of bubbles. I think this is just a market correction. We will see Bitcoin will more stable soon.

Bitcoin, since its origin in 2009 has seen an enormous growth in the financial market. Being the first crypto to be decentralised, the coin holds a special place in the economy and also opens new horizons. Currently the coin has a market capital of $115 billion. Also, the coin is so widely accepted in the financial market for it to be considered in a financial bubble now.
Though being volatile, the coin's prices can see lows and high, the coin will continue to hold a place in the economy.

Yes it is not a bubble, each and every day itss shows it growth, either it increase or decrease. Last year 2017 end  it showed its tremendous growth. Likewise this year also we can expect that much of price growth. But now the market is not good but hope it will recover soon. Just buy the bitcoin now and hold it for future. Surely by the end of this year it will show its massive growth.

I admit that bitcoin is not bubble because thousands of people have invested in it and it is guaranteed that the future is that of cryptocurrency and bitcoin is the leading crypto. So it will hold the market and all other currencies will disappear from the market. Don’t worry about the authentication of bitcoin and go ahead if you want to invest in it.

the current price drop i think because the government has not legalized bitcoin, so many investors are not yet full power to support it. but if the government has legalized it then i am sure the price will increase high

I think all commodities if prices rise high bubble will surely happen, they are not wrong say bubble but they know bitcoin will not die

If bitcoin a buble, i think bitcoin can not survive in 9 years. Beside that, right now many big investment start to invest in cryptocurrency. Goldman sachs is one biggest investment banks and start opening bitcoin trading desk for their customer. Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is real investment with real market

From 2009 itself it would be in the market. If it is bubble it cannot survive for a such long time. It proves its growth in last year itself. Now this year also we can expect the same  , the ups and downs are nomally happens in the market.of it decreases continusouly then we cannot say it is a bubble.

Okay, you might be right to say that Bitcoin itself is not a bubble.
On the other hand, we've clearly seen that the market was in some sort of speculative bubble, when we saw the prices rise to 20k and subsequently drop to under 10K

If you don't think that's a bubble, you're misguided.

nice write-up you've Said it all,  u truly understand the concept behind bitcoin

I do not believe that in General in the context of cryptocurrency is talking about the bubble. Bitcoin raspiaren, I invested in litecoin, and generally diversificarea portfolio. How much can you write about a bubble not a bubble. Everyone looks different. The technology that brings much use cannot be a bubble.

Gosh, next year we will celebrate the 10th Jubilee of Bitcoin! I wonder why some people still call it a bubble - it is nonsense. I suppose Bitcoin millionaires do not think so.

Some say bitcoin is bubbles because they don't have any knowledges and lacked of education about the reality of bitcoin they are in the wrong side. They belittle the capasity of bitcoin without knowing it... that this could bring big benefits and makes millionaires to the ordenary peoples.

Call the firefighters, we are going to have lots of firefighting...

Well I think everyone has different thinking some are thinking positive and some are negative, no need to be so curious about the investment of bitcoin, bitcoin is full of profit it is surly now a bubble but almost 85% of my country population is earning with bitcoin, so it is not a bubble bitcoin is our future for sure and future making tools as an investment as currency and trading as well.

  Yes they are just afraid of bitcoin that soon the price of bitcoin will get down but the reality is that bitcoin price is at rising zone soon bitcoin will rise more, so I think bitcoin is not a bubble but it is best tool to make your future bright, your own faith your own determination can get you earn good profit so believe in bitcoin don’t think that it is bubble and soon it will be burst, it is our future which will remain the same for long time.

Bitcoin is truly not a bubble. We all see that btc has already stabelise in a price range. Although correction did happen. Btc proce is not just a show and prove that it is a decentralized platform.

Agreed, Bitcoin price has been volatile ever since it is started in crypto, most of the time when the price is falling to its deepest state unlike before, the speculators always saying that bitcoin will end soon,which is for is not a logical term , bitcoin has not yet been dead ever since 2009 , bitcoin is always been there and help many people lives, and when the time comes that its price will o low, those unloyal people who gain so much from it will soon do panic selling and started saying that bitcoin will be dead soon.

There is a reason why everything in the economy is valuable. So, behind in USD there is a state like America behind it, Gold is a valuable and limited metal in the world and etc.
There is nothing that makes Bitcoin worthwhile, but it is getting more value every day and there is no reason for it, just space.
We need more time to get Bitcoin fully understood.

These individuals telling bitcoin is a bubble are victims of scam through the use of bitcoin. We cannot blame them, because they have experience it. But let us not generalize everything because of the fact that in this industry, there are a lot of scammers especially hackers. So let us be very careful and vigilant as always. Do your own research.

Not all the people who are telling that bitcoin is a bubble are victim of scam, some of them like Warren Buffet is a very wealthy person which became rich because of investing in companies and he is one of the example that keep saying that bitcoin is a bubble because it is a pure speculation since there is no basis for the price of bitcoin but only the emotion of the investor and traders.

We need to create real values that can be seen and felt with the senses

Warren buffet is a 90 year old guy (older even?) who doesn't know anything about crypto or bitcoin.

I agree with your opinion, bitcoin is not a bubble, bitcoin has a long history and personally I pointed out bitcoin is a very remarkable finding, both system and technology to enter the economy and ease of access of assets that is very privacy, crypto for my personal view of the system which is complicated and detailed indvidu but simple access, all of which are unified, and I think crypto will be the invention and the gate of the future of extraordinary, but at this time bitcoin legality is fought even though it must face the regulations and policies in each country, I think that the process is not easy but surely there is a way, may be useful and successful untu all of us

There are many factors affecting bitcoin prices so that by the end of the year bitcoin prices are very high. the first because last year a lot of bitcoin enthusiasts who buy in large quantities so that the volume of bitcoin increases rapidly. everyone saw the incident and was interested in buying bitcoin. and in this year crypto is having a lot of bad issues so people who invest in bitcoin sell simultaneously and large amounts.

I don't know how long the word BUBBLE will be hanging around, people and media often say bitcoin is a bubble, but the truth is it doesn't happen at all, and one thing that irritates me is the people who say 'BITCOIN IS BUBBLE' Apparently they are totally people don't understand the performance of bitcoin/cryptocurrency. That's the chaotic public stigma

Bitcoin is not a bubble cause rich and it is a new cryptocurrency that you have a great way my only complaint. The first is to invest, right? I am. I support cryptocurrency not. I support the right now is to study of money. I support cryptocurrency not capitalism cause here.

That’s right. Because if it were a bubble, it would have burst so far and would not have attracted such a huge amount of money. But it is the top notch spot for investment among the crypto lovers and it has been giving good returns just see the last year’s figures and decide yourself. This is an amazing technology and has a way to become the future international currency in future if all the countries across the globe agree to recognize it.

In fact, if we should call anything a bubble, it is going to have to be fiat. No real value, just bullshit, which is being driven by manipulations and monopolies with a system built by centralization.

No one could deny the fact that things are changing gradually and money is evolving and anyone who wants to call bitcoin a bubble is as limited in knowledge as the government is limited in thinking best for her country. Bitcoin is never a bubble and anyone who wants to call it that would only be publicly embarrassing himself and that goes to those that call themselves financial expert.

Worrying about price in the short term is what has put a lot of people into the panic zone and has made them to make certain decisions they would not really have made if there were in their right mind. Bitcoin is never a bubble as it has value, but the price could end up being a bubble due to over hype and a lot of people trying to join FOMO, which comes with a negative result most of the time when it pops and that is the case of what we are seeing presently.

As long as we have a stable demand for it and a real demand, it sure will reduce any huge volatility that comes with the space. Bubble can be normal due to hype at a certain point in time, but it should be understood that bitcoin has real value, and in itself is not a bubble.

For now, we have experienced a situation where we can categorize it as a bubble of last year / early this year that popped which absolutely was expected but in the long run, it is not like it would end up not growing.

people who says that bitcoin is a bubble they doesn't know anything about bitcoin, they only create FUD and due this people are well-known in investment we cannot avoid that many will believe in them.

bitcoin bubble but before the bubble expands there is a small thorn that makes it erupt and experienced a very sharp price drop from the price before entering the new year 2018, this makes bitcoin investors at high prices to experience panic for fear of losses, but behind it there is a side that has the advantage of putting up a net at a low price so that they get a lot of bitcoin for sale when prices soar again.

A lot of people are mistaking the characteristics with some of the price action that has taken place in the past. A bubble would not have any value but bitcoin does.

The only thing that was a bubble in a short amount of time was the price which was brought about by FOMO and got driven up which I would say as a result of manipulation to give those who are looking for a way to get rich quick the wrong picture, and that made the price at that point a bubble, but in the long run, it is still going to be sustainable as it tries to find a bottom.

Bitcoin is a volatile currency which means their is up and downs in its price and when its price down then many investors loss their money and consider bitcoin is a bubble. But i think bitcoin is not bubble. Their is another reason present because of this many people consider it is a bubble. In the year of 2017 bitcoin price increase surprising like a bubble swell but in 2018 their is steadily fall in its price which makes its a bubble in front of many people. I think its price will be increase and it is not a bubble.  :)

Yes many people not understand and dont know about what is bitcoin and they who dont know always only able to judge. They said it were a new tulip fever but i dont think the same. This market correction and many people are trying to make profit and some are panic with volatility of bitcoin. Bitcoin indeed not a bubble and bitcoin do has a value.

I agree. Although many say that Bitcoin is a bubble because of the movement it shows, seemingly on a regular basis, I still would say that it's not a bubble because it has maintained and kept a good and high enough price point that is not decreasing on such a sharp manner. Although it is try true  that its price changes so intermittently, going up and down at any point. It is still safe to say that Bitcoin is not a bubble because of its continuous presence for the past several years and the continued gain in value.

Bitcoin will never ever turn into a bubble like how come it would happen if bitcoin today is still consistent though there are price changes still it won't make bitcoin to disappear.

This is a classic topic. The word bubble is already a discussion years a go and still trending because bitcoins and other cryptocurrenciies are naturally volatile. Every time prices or value goes downtrend, they all speak bubbles and bubbles bursting. I am kinda tired of hearing such discussion because there is no sense anymore.  Bitcoin burst means it will go flat zero which I do not I agree in. It is impossible.

Because of recent price falling in the market and and bitcoin different speculation and comment that people heard, they come up an idea that maybe bitcoin is a bubble and that everything is  just a word and nothing really is true about bitcoin, its profit and investment and all that.. but those who experienced it proved what bitcoin really is that t is not a bubble but real cyrpto currency.

I think they are just really scared to lose their money because of the big incident this past years that a similar price movements which are resulted to a bubble and lose its price rather value, so stock critics and other financial persona are really afraid that this might be repeated again in bitcoin we could not really blamed them warning people for the potential risk that might happen.

I think bitcoin is not a bubble, he has not really managing her bitcoin, bitcoin nowadays is still popular but in investing you should be careful for the right time to work on your bitcoin so that it would not result to bubble, try to look for the time to buy in the coin market and the time to sell your coins , just manage your investment properly because this time there is tight business strategy of your bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a hierarchical coding currency. The nature of Bitcoin is different from centralized money that is run by an organization, it is not a bubble as you think. are you kown

yes you are right I really agree with you, bitcoin is actually not like bitcoin bubbles more like waves whose movements are just up and down, if you say bubbles then the price when high then it will break and can not do recovery while bitcoin can do the recovery price.

Yeah, maybe what they meant is bitcoin price increase unexpected price then suddenly drops a lot. Let's still wait and we will see that bitcoin will recover again.

if you continue to repeat "not a bubble" long enough
the price will eventually go back to 20.000$  ;D
probably not,since bitcoin and all the cryptocurrencies displaying a clear bubblelike behaviour
the latest Tether debacle is used to explain or at least try to give a feaseable explanation as to why it is not a bubble
but now we are headed all the way down to some 4-5k areas if nothing extraordinary happens
aka some big players decide it is time to blow the bubble yet again and start buying

It is not, yet the volatility is high. Knowing that a volatile investment can easily be gone in just no time when no more people is going to patronize it. These is the reason why some economist say Bitcoin is a bubble.

They can be right considering that the price sometimes is pumped up so fast and drops suddenly sometimes. The whole idea for this could be due to investors usage of bitcoin. Too many are just keeping their bitcoin in the blockchain awaiting for profit as the price go up but when it goes down this people suddenly changes their mind and sell it causing price to go down and while others are thinking it is going down they do the same creating somewhat like a chain of reaction to make a stop loss. Yet even with this sudden change of value I don't consider bitcoin as a bubble. Maybe it just because of the nature of humans to fear something uncomfortable that causes all these. A bubble maybe is one that explodes and is lost forever or in other word one the starts going strong and all of a sudden is lost forever because it really does not have any utility and is just a pumped up value.

Basically it's not a bubble because bitcoin's market value depends on the demand of the people. It just so happened that the demand of bitcoin went on a high rise last december and seeing it as it went down to 5,000$ mark as of this writing doesn't also mean that the bubble pops already. It's not the end of bitcoin yet, because i still believe in bitcoin's capability of rising back strong again.

People would say anything just to justify their bullshit. It was said several times that nothing good will come out of bitcoin, it would only create more usefulness in the dark market, and at the end it would end up self-destructing.

We are up and running with bitcoin evolving each and every day with adoption increasing gradually and governments not knowing what else to do than to just simply find a way to regulate it. Tulip was the definition of a bubble and that is not in any way close to what bitcoin is offering to the society at large.

yes you are right bitcoin is not like bitcoin bubbles more like waves because bitcoin price has movement up and down so bitcoin more like wave not bubble. just calm the bitcoin price can do the recovery again.

Those who said that bitcoin is a bubble, they are the critics of bitcoin that if had a chance they will spread negative news to discourage people out of it. But you know they can crashed bitcoin but they can't kill it.

The reason why it makes no changes is because it is not a bubble, lol. Bitcoin is the first of all cryptocurrencies and the fact that we can use it as a peer to peer system of payment makes it have a value and it is not something that is just generated out of nothing as you need power to get that done through mining.

All these things give bitcoin value and that is one thing a bubble does not have. We can enter a state of bubble which has happened several times to different asset but that does not make the asset itself a bubble.

Bitcoin is not bubble. because bitcoin backed by blockchain technology. blockchain technology is very unique that is going to rule the future, investors that invest to bitcoin are actually investing to this unique technology.

bitcoin is nt bubble bitcoin is an asset and can be called as currency as well but bitcoin is no way related to bubble kind of structure it is false statement on bitcoin

No doubt the price of bitcoin is decreasing day by day and many people say that it is near to crash but I am sure that the future is that of cryptocurrency and bitcoin is the leading crypto in the world. It is not a bubble because blockchain will never promote a bubble in the world. We know that blockchain is new technology and in the future all the people will use it.

The persons saying bitcoin is bubble are persons which are may be, scammed on individuals which uses bitcoin as medium of the said pyramidding scheme. I think everyone of us her is familiar with RedX, these Pyramiding scheme is the most common and famous at years 2016 and first-second quarter of 2017. In fact, it is very obvious that their is no working product in it, after my friend presents to me the RedX platform, I asked him, how did you earn? And surely if through referral solely, it is really a scam.
And we cannot please everybody. At whatever industry may it be, cryprocurrency, foreign exchange, real estate, their will always be critics and persons saying it is scam or even a bubble.

We are sure about this fact. Bitcoin isn’t a bubble. If it is a bubble, it would have been seized to death for it has endorsed so huge dips and so harmful news. We have seen so many coins that came and just go within one month or two. They were bubble because they couldn’t have borne the pressure. Bitcoin is amazing and this increase and decrease it its nature. So don’t just worry.

I do not think that people that compare Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies with the bubble are right. The crypto is our future, and we will all have to admit this fact.

This concern was already been discussed many times and still some didn't totally understand it. Bitcoin is already been running for so many years and  it keeps growing and more are actually starting to adopt the technology. I can't see any signs of bubbles but only a volatile movement. So, let us not worry about this concerns because it is not true.

BITCOIN is not a BUBBLE!!!
Bitcoin price and value getting bigger because of the demand of the people.
a bubble price is far from this, as the price is declared by sellers and buyers.
we have the foundation of price in every exchange.

Of course it is not a bubble but for now becoming is fragile enough to be destroyed, so we need to be careful and support bitcoin idea not just get money from it, as many guys here are doing so long.

Bitcoin is not a bubble though we have seen it was more like one. It has survive since then if it was just a bubble or a pumped up coin then it could have just been lost in the circulation. There are so many factors for the prices going low but time will come for as long as it is used it will still be there. Please do support fellow bitcoin lovers!

I think they don’t have clear definition of bubble then. If they are saying and calling bitcoin a bubble, then petty on them. They aren’t able to see the diamond and black. They are unable to differentiate between bear and bull. Brother’s bubble means if something just come to the market and then seized to death within sometime. This is bubble and we all know the reality of bitcoin.

Exactly this is the case. Bitcoin isn’t any bubble that comes out and seized to death very soon. No, if someone have any doubt in this, he must be reviewing the history. They must be seeing how better bitcoin have shown since their first day of development. Although going under so large dips this coin still getting healthier and people are coming in here. May the odds are in favor of bitcoin.

Yeah you are right some people do not invest in bitcoin because they scare of losing their money. They have no idea about the future of bitcoin. This is the best time for bitcoin investment because of the low price but if once the price increases again they will rub their hands because of missing this golden chance for making more and more money.

Bitcoin is the first ever cryptocurrency that has provided us the best value. If we'll just base on it's past trend, we'll be able to find out that bitcoin has passed all the tests of time. It is volatile but that doesn't mean that it is a bubble because if that so, it wouldn't be able to stay longer with us.

Other people said bitcoin is bubble ,but for many years now , bitcoin is still survive and giving good gain and benefits to the customers and investors , so it did not burst and gone away ,it is still dominating the cryptoworld  and prove that this coin is not really a bubble as others said.It remains profitable ,can be payable , and canbe an exchange , so it is a false accusatios to bitcoin.

in fact they say that bitcoin is now in a bubble, and not that it's all a bubble. this is at least my opinion. At certain times there is a stimulist, which expands like a bubble.

Probably because the bitcoin price at the end of last year was so high that many investors made large-scale sales because they were interested in getting huge profits, this caused a higher sell wall compared to this buy wall to make the price fall freely as it is today,

I believe in that too, that bitcoin would not become of the worldwide payment system soon, it can become more than an alternative payment system in the world economic system existing now.

I believe that at this time it is possible to assert that the bitcoin is exactly the bubble. Bitcoin prices have fallen sharply over the past few days and are now heading for the $ 6000 level. The bitcoin market is shaking, and the market is slowly falling into recession. The global recession has led to bitcoin prices going down in the long run.

Bitcoin isnt a bubble, market participants who think the bitcoin bubble should recognize that bitcoin is one of the most interesting investments. The strength of bitcoin lies in its decentralized nature. Since Bitcoin isnt owned by any other centralized banking system (unlike the state currency), its value cant be manipulated arbitrarily by the production of currency. This gives bitcoin a commodity stability like gold

Bitcoin is a revolutionary discovery, that would certainly change the financial industry and payments + funds transfer, the value of bitcoin would certainly continue to rise for years to come. Bitcoin is legitimate and would continue to remain like this for many many years to come.

Of course, bitcoin is not a bubble. It has been going through a process that has been going through for 10 years. It's something that we've noticed that bitcoins do not fly and disappear like the bubble that some people say.

Of course it is modified bubble,  I'm amazed that there are still some people who would believe this. Bitcoin as existing almost 10 years already, if it would be bubble it needs to be very strong bubble.

Many experts compared to the dot com bubble tragedy almost 2 decades ago but what makes bitcoin sustainable for more than 10 years is the community support and adoption and besides it is decentralised and owns by no one so it is hard to make bitcoin bubble unlike the dot com which is centralised and represents by each respective owners.

Yes definitely it is not a bubble. Because if bubble would experience all the things and all the opposition that bitcoin has experienced, it would be destroyed and crushed.

Those who said that bitcoin is a bubble are helpless. They cannot see the future in a positive ways.
But luckily, we have ourselves, a supporter who keeps on admiring the abilities of bitcoin.

Bitcoin and economy. The first place. I do a new way to keep track record of cryptocurrency is really amazing to be great if we have a dream to become the right place at all of us so I create an account and it is a start of cryptocurrency. I even though the market to invest in recent weeks,

It positively isn't. I dont think it even issues what financial expert wannabes need to think. Whats imperative is we have confidence in bitcoin. We can't tune in to all the pessimism and the fud they will let out keeping in mind the end goal to pull bitcoin down. Also, we're not throwing in the towel therefore. We will be here to help bitcoin the distance.

As some haters said about bitcoin ,that it is a bubble after you put your investments on it in the later time it will burst like bubble and gone forever, As I see it ,bitcoin is a very kind of investment in digital form which serves as investments and at the same time as digital currency for payments and other transactions and it is doing well , there are early bitcoin holders csn testify that bitcoin is not a bubble.

Everyone knows that bitcoin is backed by blockchain technology and this technology will hold the world in the future. Now you can understand that bitcoin is a bubble or not. Some people do not want the promotion of bitcoin and they try to decease bitcoin. I don’t know why but they may want to hold maximum quantity of bitcoin and for that they use false statements.

But everyone says bitcoin has bubbles by the end of the year. I also noticed an unusual rise occurred in bitcoin but I believe bitcoin has a future.

when the price of bitcoin is increasing and people are making money from higher price then nobody ask such questions because they are happy and say that bitcoin will take over the market soon, but now when the price is falling everyone is panic about the future of bitcoin and think that bitcoin is a bubble and will burst in the air. All these are misleading statements.

I think yes,Bitcoin is not a bubble If Bitcoin is in a bubble then maybe whole stock market, startups, land market and other markets are also in the same bubble.I believe that bitcoin become our future world currency.

Things you said are true. But we as the bitcoin holders or investors must be ready with the various threats that come to destroy bitcoin. We will be bitcoin supporters though many people who hate bitcoin we must keep supporting bitcoin.

When there is a little bit falls in the price impatient investors or some other people give such foolish things about bitcoin. They want to protect people from investing in bitcoin. In my opinion mostly big investors play this game because they want to hold maximum quantity of bitcoin and when the price raise they buy their holding for higher price and earn lot of money.

Being a bubble does not mean that underlying idea or company is worthless (for example .com bubble), but just grossly overpriced. Since bitcoin generates no income on its own and have no underlying organisation (like countries for fiat) it technically speaking will always be speculative. And as speculative asset it will always be prone to bubblement. I think its good and healthy for bitcoin that there are people stopping it from uncontrolled growth. I don't believe bitcoin will burst but from technical point of view I understand calling it a bubble.

Market is Volatile , anything can happen at any given time with Bitcoin price value, it may goes up and down to the level we never anticipated, Yes, Bubble or not, it is the market movement, Yet, after the beating after beating, Bitcoin remains standing and stable may not be favorable price market value but still Bitcoin is alive. A lot of issue affects this down stream of the market price of Bitcoin, the issue on Regulation is the for front concerned which been banging and banging at the door of Bitcoin...end result the price market  reaction is on the down stream... anyway, i am still looking forward for Bitcoin to recover the present status and goes up again...

The volatility nature of digital assets makes it seem like digital assets are a buble.

Bitcoin is not a bubble because in my own opinion, Bubble is not in the same line of thought as compared with Bitcoin and we have known that for a long time. However, that does not mean that the price of bitcoin cannot bubble once in a while and that is what we saw in the recent months and that is why we saw the current crash however more than bitcoin I see many altcoins as a problem since you can create an unlimited amount of altcoins by just copy pasting the code of bitcoin, altcoins are the main culprit of what is happening after all many people invest in those coins..

People who are against the growth of bitcoin give such nonsense statements. Although their statements are not good for bitcoin and new investors but on the whole people still buy bitcoin because they know the reality of bitcoin. If you want to make money in the future, bitcoin provides you the opportunity of making huge profits from your investment.

Yes, Bitcoin is not a bubble. It has real value, when its value is high, everyone is surprised and skeptical about this so they think it is bubbling. However, it is unstable and disappointing. They started to doubt it and thought it was a bubble. If you really understand about it, it has a real value and you know what to do with it.

Recently, I am reading online media that many financial firm start interesting to invest their fund on cryptocurrency market. Its a sign that bitcoin or cryptocurrency is not a buble but its real investment and real bussiness.

Those people think bitcoin as bubble who want to create obstacles in the growth way of bitcoin, may they want to hold the maximum quantity of bitcoin but they will never succeed because people now realized the importance of bitcoin and they want to hold as much as they can so that in the future they face no financial problems. These are all fake statements.

People always equate Bitcoin and any other crypto currency to the Tulip Mania. Which I don't think is the same. Tulip mania is a real bubble that has really bo other use. Crypto currencies however have blockchains to support the coin and could actually be used for electronic transactions. I'm rrally sure crypto currency will be bigfer next year.

If it was some bubble, it would have collapsed by now. It has got many uses like as a currency and for investment.

Bitcoin already prove itself last year, even though the price falling now but still bitcoin are continue to recover, it is normal when the price decrease or increase the most important is you believe that bitcoin is not a bubble and it will recover soon.

I agree with you, its nowhere close to a bubble.

Yeah of course bitcoin is not bubble. Those who say like this do not know bitcoin well or they want to defame bitcoin, but their efforts will be in vain. Some people consider bitcoin a bubble because of the huge dip in the price. They disappointed and gave statement in anger because they have lost lot of money. But the facts are against this false news.

The main point is that many people lost their money due to fall in the price, still the price is volatile and may drop more and some afraid of more fall. Thus they announce bitcoin a bubble. I am very optimistic about the bright future of bitcoin and I believe that in the near future bitcoin will recover all deficits. Just need patience for some more time.

Many people don't know bitcoin or blockchain technology. Although bitcoin's price is already high, it is not completely bubble, it has strong community support.

Yeah It was tremendously In that time where bitcoin has reach the unexpected price $20,000. Now In my opinion If someone said that bitcoin Is bubble, why Its still exist? If these Is a real bubble Its already being vanish and replace another coin which might next potentially rise.

Some people compare it with that flower thing that went viral in past. No logical connection can be made between these two, bitcoin has real life applications.

I agree to that. If bitcoin is just a bubble then even it is just going up from a low price then the price just popped and bitcoin now is worthless but you can see that bitcoin still has value which is great because it means that people are still believing in bitcoin that it is not a bubble but a real and existing investment.

Well, that’s what they will all say, but I still think that they are right in a way. Bitcoin bubbles, but that’s as a result of the whales that are pumping it from behind and we don’t even know who they are. They can call it a bubble or whatever they wish to call it but one thing for sure is that Bitcoin continues to grow and anyone who wants to invest in it will do it despite what they are saying.

I don’t have time to listen to people on whatever they have to say, I gained my success through Bitcoin. So there is an opportunity, cause it is one of the biggest thing in the market today.

Bitcoin is indeed not a Bubble for those who already understand and follow it from the beginning. Bitcoin looks like a bubble for people who don't follow bitcoin from the start. Maybe today bitcoin is not yet too stable and there are still many shortcomings, but if people can be patient bitcoin will be something that will increase far.

Its funny how other people said that bitcoin is a form of bubble that will pop in any moment, what they don't know is the fluctuating state of the market that varies the price any time which has downs and highs.
If bitcoin is a bubble, its price should be lower than a thousand of dollars after it reached a $20000 mark last year isn't ?

Yes in fact it is being regulated specifically the most influential country in the world which is the USA (United States of America). So we should consider this the fact the bitcoin is now global. THus it is consider as one of the profitable business just like gold and silver investment. It is indeed one of a kind investment.

if bitcoin is a bubble, bitcoin prices can not survive like this. bitcoin can be said to be a bubble if the drop in the price of bitcoin is very severe and causes bitcoin to have no value anymore

Thank you for this post. Bitcoin is actually not a bubble contrary to the believe and widespread by those haters who would never see anything good about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. I hope they will all be proven wrong in future.

I don't know why they say that it was bubble when bitcoin was always there, it always dump but it always recover.  I agree to you that it was not a bubble because your right that it was real investment because it is good to buy when the price dump.  The bubble was died easily but the bitcoin was not, it is not form of bubble because it is like stock market that there are investment on business.

Do not compare bitcoin with tulip bubbles dotcom ... bitcoin is really different created from the technology of the future blockchain.  Bitcoin is decentralized and not controlled by anyone.  Bitcoin together with blockchain creates transparency in transactions publicity.  something that no one else can do

I believe the bitcoin is exactly the bubble, you can see that the bitcoin price has risen sharply and reached $ 19800 at the end of 2017, but only days later bitcoin prices have dropped sharply and at some point touching $ 5800 mark. You can see that the market is bearish in the long run so bitcoin prices will likely continue to fall sharply at any time. I itn that bitcoin price will fall to the $ 4000 mark at the end of 2018.

Is the US dollar a bubble? No!  The US dollar is a currency!
Is the Euro a bubble? No! The Euro is a currency!
Is the Japanese Yen a bubble? No! The Yen a currency!
So what is Bitcoin? It’s a digital currency and it has an exchange rate price vs all other currencies!
This is NOT called a bubble, it’s called DEVALUATION!

You are absolutely right. The people that spread these theories are people who don't like the Bitcoin. Some people are scared of the Bitcoin, because it's hard to control the money supply. And that is why some economists will try to hurt the Bitcoin as much, as they can. They want to resume control of the market, and as long as the Bitcoin is strong, they can't do that.

When you here them say "Bitcoin is a bubble", answer them: "why the bubble doesn't burst even after 10 years".

I agree with you. Any currency has the properties of falling and going up. Only bitcoin does it faster than all other currencies. Bitcoin is very sharp in this matter

When you hear them say, "Why the bubble doesn't burst even after 10 years?", answer them: "What do you call the 70% drop from $20,000 to $5600?"

From an investment point of view, bitcoin is, of course, not a bubble! This is an amazing investment tool that will earn not only you but also your children and grandchildren.

Yes,  actually bitcoin is not bubble because until now bitcoin are still exist and infact their are developing countries accept bitcoin as legal tender. So for those people who always say bitcoin is bubbles just stay away your negative thoughs about bitcoin because it could not help you to improve your life.

If the person is knowledgeable about bitcoin/crypto surely that person will be able to make an analysis and bitcoin predictor.

The haters simply spread FUDs for the weak hands to follow what the bitcoin haters say. Because if they follow, the weaks will sell the bitcoin they hold.

Sometimes I wonder who to believe in this case.  Should I listen to a random guy on internet who might hold a few crypto coin on his wallet or should I believe in a well known economist graduated from reputable university.   ;D ;D

Of course it has real life applications and has been accepted by a large number of companies and countries across the world. Practical life applications like making the transfer of funds across borders and using it as a medium of exchange have made lives easy.

If it were a bubble, it would not have captured a big portion of the market and a big market cap. Besides, in any market, as long as you have the costumers, you are the one who would live long.

Bitcoin is simply a "bubble", an asset that has no intrinsic value if its value goes to zero when the trust is gone.
The value and demand for Bitcoin will increase as only a total of 21 million Bitcoin is "dug out". In addition, the amount of Bitcoin dugout will decrease over time as Bitcoin deals, in other words, Bitcoin's demand will increase but the supply is not sufficient. This will increase the value of Bitcoin in the future.

I believe bitcoin is a bubble, you can see that by 2017 the crypto market has seen a boom in bitcoin prices, as bitcoin prices have grown exponentially and soared up to $ 19800, and soon after Bitcoin prices have dropped sharply in just 6 months. There was a time when bitcoin prices fell to $ 5800 and now have recovered to the $ 8100 mark. According to my analysis, bitcoin prices will probably continue to fall sharply in the near future and may fall to the $ 4,000 level by the end of 2018.

In my opinion, bitcoin is not a bubble. Bitcoin has a similarity to the dotcom bubble in the way it attracts money because people are merely trying to connect with any Internet company without knowing its profitability, though. However, many people think that Bitcoin is growing. Instead of attracting other investments or concerns, Bitcoin has started attracting traditional investors

It is true that bitcoin is not a bubble. Bitcoin need is increasing from day to day and we can see that as time pass the bitcoin users and investors are also increasing. Their investment in bitcoin is also increasing the demand of bitcoin and therefore the bitcoin price is increasing continuously. I think that very soon bitcoin will be available in all over the world and people will be using it like fiat currency.

Those people who do not really care about bitcoin will stay fool. Bitcoin will stay on its right path and continue growing as well as attracting people so it will never be a bubble.

I do think that the price which went until 20k in December was an obvious bubble price and the world in general has been shocked but as the market showed a correction after that price it means that we are in a healthy market price and it is not a bubble in long term.

I believe that the experts ' opinion should not be considered as extreme final. Many people say that a sea tan is useless or even dangerous, but nevertheless people go to the sea and sunbathe. )))) So do not listen and fear for bitcoin. Bitcoin will always find its buyers.

I don't know if Bitcoin is a bubble, but I think we have to first understand what a bubble is. Is the bubble good or bad? At the beginning of the Internet, many people said that it was a bubble. Isn't this Internet a bad thing?

bitcoin is nt bubble it is pure organic growth it took 9 years time for bitcoin price growth we can expect bitcoin to grow in price for next 5 years on consistent bases

The ones who say this thing that bitcoin is a bubble are not fully aware of the nature of this bubble, it is very much different from rest of the bubbles as it has this capability of rising high even after going down. All you need to have is some good knowledge regarding the things which can then help you in thinking of a way which can help you in making maximum profit from this bubble.

I do not think anyone believe its a bubble aside from some people who have no economics knowledge and just talk on a FUD sense because they lost on getting in on early. Those people who call bitcoin a bubble also are the same people who keep saying "I wish I invested back when it was $100" or so. I have been in bitcoin world for over 5 years now and ever since I started I have seen many people calling bitcoin bubble and every time they call it a bubble bitcoin rebounds back and breaks the ATH levels. So not worry and just carry on.

The term bubble is being used with the sense of "something is growing big without proper reason for its growth". If something is growing along with proper back-up, that is the actual growth which is just the opposite of bubble. Internet has proved its worth over time hence it is not a bubble.

Of course, bitcoin is not a bubble because the price of bitcoin is formed by the presence of buyers and sellers, which ultimately results in prices. Bitcoin prices can rise or fall quickly and the value is very large, unlike conventional currencies that rise and fall are not too drastic. Therefore, economists say the price of bitcoin is like a bubble, which can suddenly break and become worthless. Because bitcoin will only have 21 million units, after that is achieved whether the price will increase or it will become worthless, time will answer

Bubble is something that can burst at any instant and remain as nothing, but it is not about bitcoin, we can see that bitcoin is passing from such a crucial condition but still it survive and even now we can see that there is a very good recover we can observe in bitcoin price. I think that bitcoin is one of the most strong and trusted crypto currency which will hopefully continue for a long long time.

I have not seen any sign that bitcoin can prove to be a bubble. Bitcoin is the only alternative currency for all Fiat.

the whole market is in a up and down movement. I don't know if it is a bubble or not anymore. So unpredictable. Guess we have to wait and see. Really hope it will go upward from now on.

Now, almost everybody realizes that it is not a bubble. A bubble is something that is growing to the huge sizes and then bursts. As we realize, BTC price can go up and down but Bitcoin will never burst.

For now there are still few people says that bitcoin is bubble but I'll just let them think what they want because as long as I know what bitcoin is and we still believe on it they will never influence us to think that bitcoin is bubble because we all know the truth about bitcoin and it is worth it to hold.

bitcoin is bubble for people who come in the market to make profit by buying a huge amount of it , then if he fall down they will said it's bubble if will not they said bitcoin is good !

You're right, it's not a bubble.

But it will take many years until it is recognized as a legitimate investment, because so many interests are at stake.

The price today is just volatile so you can focus on trading because you will surely earn more profit if you continuously trade in this volatile season in the market.

The bubble may burst sooner or later. It is when the price of an asset far exceeds the underlying value. People today say it is a bubble since it does not have any true price but that's a binary statementif it does not have any true price, even at the same penny, Bitcoin would be a bubble as it's still above zero. There were many bubbles previously around ground-breaking and advanced technologies like the Internet.

Bitcoin isn’t bubble, bitcoin has the best technology and able to rise from any threats that can reduce its price. Bitcoin will never die even if the price drops and even very difficult to drop the bitcoin until its price reaches zero.
