Maybe. The value bitcoin has is given by the buyers and sellers. As it has no specific use except trading and speculation, it is bound to decrease in value in some moment of time.
But with much more to see, we can aspect the rise of bitcoin for one more decade.

Is Bitcoin overhyped?
No it isn't.
There has been a lot of bad impression that the well known people in the entire world's economy who are giving their sentiments on how bad bitcoin is as an investment. What makes you think that it's overhyped? You should be asking on why there are many altcoins that are overhyped and why they are coming to the point that they want to replace bitcoin.

Is Bitcoin overhyped?

Definitely. There's no doubt there are alternate cryptocurrencies that are as good as Bitcoin, or even better: lower and faster transaction fees for instance. Even when BTC tx fees have pumped up to 40$ it remained popular. I think the fact that Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and it is 9 years old already, which is why people trust it mostly, plays a key role in its demand.

Nevertheless, it is better to ask this question to the miners. The advanced miner can accurately consider the cost price. Then you can talk about overbought or under-sold BTC.

hard to say.
bitcoin has the value we want to give it.
but according to many specialists, for the moment it's not expensive.
they even expect it to increase sharply in the near future.

I would say it is still underhyped and undervalued, coming years will be huge for bitcoin, even right now the btc dominancy is low, as soon as dominancy starts growing and crosses 50% mark we will see btc skyrocketting and everyone will be rushing to buy bitcoin causing fomo and even more bulls.

I do not think so. Bitcoin is the most common cryptocurrency and its growth is ensured by a number of fundamental factors. When institutional investors enter the market, there will be real growth, the scale of which we do not even suspect...

Post by: crenfrosck on May 09, 2018, 09:14:29 PM
Yes, I think so. But Bitcoin is an iconic representative of the crypto world and as long as people do not switch to another platform, it will stay just as it is. On the other hand, Bitcoin is simply outperformed by its successors. Nothing can stay forever and therefore BTC will not be the one and only king. If I think Bitcoin will vanish after this event? Not really, it will be only less valuable than another, stronger and probably more spread cryptocurrency.

Title: Re: Is Bitcoin overhyped?
Post by: LtMotioN on May 09, 2018, 09:28:11 PM
I would argue that some other coins may do faster and cheaper transactions, but BTC is the only really decentralized on in many aspects. Almost all other coins have "offices" and were pre-mined to hell by its creators. Even Ethereum has Vitalik as its face. Bcash is mostly owned by Ver&Co.

As for altcoins, yea... there is definitely a bubble in them. The majority of them are purely speculative. They don't do anything in the real world, thus they create no real value. (Note I am saying most).
Just go through the top 20 and look at which coins have actual use in real world now, not many of them do.

Bitcoin I think will be fulfilling the role of reserve currency. It will be the USD of crypto. I do not see that it could be overhyped. I would firstly argue things like Ripple is overhyped. Someone created value out of thin air, then pumped it a few times and created hodlers for the coin.  Then it basically just kept value because of these hodlers.

Look at Tron even, they tweeted today they have 1 million users. All the supporters are like "wow" and my response was "meh". Well guess what, Electroneum has much more users than that and is outgrowing the hell out of them in terms of users, yet it has what I would call a fair valuation right now. Their coin isn't being used in real life yet,so why the hell should it be in the top 10? The bubble is created by hodlers who joined a pump and couldn't dump at a profit. Then after a few laps of this we sit with something with a severely overhyped and over valued price. Like Tron and Ripple.

And no I dumped all my ETN, not shilling it. Making a point.

Also as for BTC dominance dropping, there are lots of traders like myself who just want to increase their BTC holdings.  If you just hodl BTC that 1 BTC you have will always be 1 BTC. The fact that altcoins are outperforming it is irrelevant, because it is outperforming it because there are so many people like me buying and flipping this stuff. BTC is the endgame.

Not really. Considering the technology involved, market capitalization, investors confidence in it and its popularity, one can't say is over hyped.


Title: Re: Is Bitcoin overhyped?
Post by: Bttzed03 on May 09, 2018, 09:40:55 PM
Any particular reason why you asked that? Anyway, the technology behind is good and its being improved over time. Unfortunately, I also see some people only hype the earning potential in investing or trading bitcoin to new ones.


Title: Re: Is Bitcoin overhyped?
Post by: RicardoRicky on May 09, 2018, 10:40:25 PM
I do not think so. because all this time the bitcoin has run fairly without the interference of others, the phenomenon is just an attempt to enliven the crypto market, especially with the emergence of new coins in altcoin.


Title: Re: Is Bitcoin overhyped?
Post by: Fioraver on May 09, 2018, 10:43:31 PM
Absolutely not. Bitcoin has been under attack more times than all other coins combine. It is a lot more bad publicity about Bitcoin than good.

Is Bitcoin overhyped?



It is actually the users of bitcoin and the demand of it which has increased the price of bitcoin it is not overhyped. We can estimate its price from the current use of this coin in the worldwide busineses. The use of it is much higher and so the demand of it is also higher which make the price to this level.


Title: Re: Is Bitcoin overhyped?

If you read a bit on crypocurrency history, you should know Bitcoin is probably the least overhyped coin in the crypto world.

Is Bitcoin overhyped?

It probably was back in november-december 2017 when bitcoin reached an all time high of $20k USD. Back then everyone was calling for bitcoin to breakthough all the way up to $50k. Sadly though, the hype died out and now we are back to $9k.

No worries though as surely people now realize the value of bitcoin and the new wave of investors are now real and organic.

I think it's not. Bitcoin is just starting its way to mass adoption, I think the interest and knowledge about bitcoin will be much higher in the coming years. With respect to the rest of cryptocoins, it's normal that bitcoin is the one that generates more interest, after all it's the main cryptocoin, the first, the most important and the most valuable.

That is a very good way of seeing things. As a matter of fact, savvy miners are the ones who have these kinds of answers. Do you think It is overbought or under-sold?

That still depends,the cost of electricity is different everywhere.
Someone might be able to make a bitcoin for 50% less of the costs that someone else has for example.


Title: Re: Is Bitcoin overhyped?
Post by: Pr.Victus on May 10, 2018, 11:15:09 AM
I believe that Bitcoin is too expensive. Its price is heated due to the high complexity of mining production. If it were easy, then his speculative price will be lower.

Is Bitcoin overhyped?




At this point, bitcoin is unfortunately almost entirely a speculatory asset. That's because we're still rather unsure whether it can handle widespread adoption. We're not even sure if bitcoin itself will be the crypto to deliver us into mainstream use (mind you, that is a rather important aspect). The values of bitcoin and all the alts that follow it are highly volatile because we've got great ideas but we're not sure we can implement them. As much as some things are certain in this space, there is a lot of confusion as to where and how we're going to get anywhere.

I do not agree that bitcoin is overhyped where I think it's the people in the community doing some extra mile speculation about bitcoin could somehow be judge as more of a hype with their insights. Fluctuations of bitcoin is just normal where it hasn't gone deep and when it on the rise, the percentage is not that high and I consider this as a normal behaviour of btc market performance.

I don't think so,it has good good reputation in very short time and the availability also minimum so it needs to have that such kind of value.But soon the price will boom at the end of this year so we cannot say it is over hyped it getting such support from the investor because of its volatility and the decentralization.

At some point bitcoin was overhyped then after the bull market ended in january and prices started falling then people though that it was the end of bitcoin but still bitcoin was resilient and didn't die, and that is when bitcoin proved that even though it was once overhyped, it can definitely live up to all of the hype that it is getting and it is going strong.

For me, I think Bitcoin is not overhyped. Why?

Because I read in an article showing some graph on the advent of Internet in the early 90s that their growth resemble the growth of Bitcoin since 2010.

To make the long story short, Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies have a long way to go before they get mainstream adoption

I really do not understand what this word overload means. We can see that the current BTC price is very low, but perhaps the BTC will stay forever this price, not only in this time, but after the price of BTC is only fluctuate at $ 9000 price.

Bitcoin is not overhyped. Price should be sky rocket coz a lot of users are using bitcoin as form of payment. This is bigger than any other currency, even the internet era so the bubble will not burst and it will continue to pump very soon.

 In my opinion the value of bitcoin will go down because it's very slow and miners consume a lot of energy. Altcoins which will be built on less energy consumption will finally be more popular. The problem with bitcoin is that with time the nodes will require more and more power consumption, and it will become dependent on very few huge nodes. Only these nodes will be able to maintain the high level of energy power.

I don't think it's overhyped. After all, it's the first crypto and the king no matter what happens.

But I think there are also altcoins with better tech (ETH for example) that excel at some things better than BTC does.

Post by: WaffleMaster on May 20, 2018, 02:54:42 PM
In terms of financial gain, at this point it may be overhyped. What I think you're referring to is the community support and developer support of Bitcoin which is definitely not overhyped, it is simply the best community and devs group. There is some fanatical talk among HODLers, an there's always been a lot of "pump" talk with any coin.

Financially, the best idea would be to diversify in low cap coins you think have a good idea and team behind them. Because with alts it is allll about the dev team, and little about the community.

I think it's not over hyped and I believed that it's just the way it is where people are making the speculation that is interpreted as a hype. In my views, the more the speculation is the better it will be where it can make more people to become interested with bitcoin. Bitcoin is becoming more popular nowadays and with this, many were encouraged to invest which other people concluded immediately that it is a hype.

Maybe you could make a case for Bitcoin being overhyped within the space (in terms of expectation of price movements etc.) but I think in terms of reaching the general population their understanding of Bitcoin is usually misguided, if they have any at all, much less hyped (especially in this type of market).

Bitcoin was overhyped last year, I think it is no longer overhyped right now. A lot of the the people who invested in crypto last year joined becuase of the "hype"! After the market crash early this year, a good number of those investors sold their holdings and I think right now, most of the remaining investors know where they are putting their money and it's not purely based on hype.

not yet as some ppl think, it is not a bubble, so that is no point to call it like this, some ppl predict more price, and we will see it in the next several years, the thing is, its amount is limited, so do it now, invest into this shit when it is still available.

The only crypto that is not overhyped is bitcoin. Right now if you observe properly you will see that there is not much volume on the sell sides. Also bitcoin has been supported by the long trend line back from 17-07-2017, its very imp that this support line should be honored.

The bull market that we had at the end of last year and the beginning of this year is what helped to show that bitcoin was overhyped but it is living up to the hype now. The price did not crash back to zero like people expect of a bubble which is a good thing. Now the price is at a reasonable place and we shouldn't expect it to go up too soon

Overrated? Abso-f*cking-lutely.

Of course it is hyped because as a currency it has no value if it has no hype.
Maybe overhyped, because investors want profits!

And definitely overrated because there are much better coins/tokens now in the industry techwise, brandwise and so on. bitcoin has only one advantage over many other cryptocurrencies: age.

It’s probably a sign of the times that every self respecting value investing blog has to have a post about bitcoin. And when you tell a random person that you invest the first question these days is if you own (or trade) bitcoins or not. So I guess “The Alpha Vulture” can’t stay behind, and share with the world what it thinks about bitcoin, whether you want to hear it or not. As the title of this post implies I’m skeptical about bitcoin, and most other software projects that are based on blockchain technology.

All such coins today exists because of btc even you know that. And also if btc moves so does other coin rises else vice versa so irrespective you like it or not btc is the king and will always remain for next few years. Also if their are good coins they will rise eventually but now ETH is the only coin after btc in market cap.

Every crypto enthusiasts do have different perspectives with regards to this kind of topic. There are some skeptics saying that bitcoin is just a mirage. I know that bitcoin's success created those hypes that's why right now the crypto market is suffering from a bearish one since there are new investors coming to crypto space who are investing emotionally and this can hurt bitcoin's value. New investors have different perspective when it comes to bitcoin, so if crypto market is bearish they do tend to panic sell and would really affect the value of bitcoin.

In my opinion the value of bitcoin will go down, but because the decline is very slow and miners consume a lot of energy, It's not excessive hype, but People currently only buy, then sell at higher prices than they buy now, There is nothing wrong with it all,
If everyone is buying low and selling high, the process is repeating, bitcoin prices will increase more and more.

Is Bitcoin overhyped?

It probably was back in november-december 2017 when bitcoin reached an all time high of $20k USD. Back then everyone was calling for bitcoin to breakthough all the way up to $50k. Sadly though, the hype died out and now we are back to $9k.

No worries though as surely people now realize the value of bitcoin and the new wave of investors are now real and organic.

 I don't think Bitcoin is overhyped or overrated. It is the Investment,Trading, HODL it is the people participation that create a lot of news whether it is a good news or bad news... let just be realistic, Bitcoin again is all over the news..confronting the issue on Banned, Scammer, and the government which is critical on Regulation, and the most recent event is the Hacking incident reported in South Korea about Bithumb. with all of this news about Bitcoin people either get interested or just want to be updated about the news resulting to increase awareness of the general public.

The Bitcoin payment system uses a cryptographic and decentralized register.

According to me, yes bitcoin is over hyped but its natural considering that it has started something that is revolutionary and can change the phase of digital world and take it to the next level. Although, I would say that bitcoin has now become outdated in terms of technology. There are many better coins in the market which have real world applications and better technology than BTC and deserve more attention.

I think it is. In my opinion, the fact that it is the first cryptocurrency and has the highest value in the market are the factors that made it hyped more than the other coins. Maybe, if some coins replace it (which I think is not that impossible) it will decrease its value a huge amount.

Definitely. There's no doubt there are alternate cryptocurrencies that are as good as Bitcoin, or even better: lower and faster transaction fees for instance. Even when BTC tx fees have pumped up to 40$ it remained popular. I think the fact that Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and it is 9 years old already, which is why people trust it mostly, plays a key role in its demand.
Bitcoin is the oldest and the most popular crypto currency in the world. More than half of the people around the world know about bitcoin but don’t know that other crypto currencies like it exists that have better technology and applications in real world.

It can be said that the main reason for increase in price of bitcoin is its popularity among people that has boosted its price heavily along time. Popularity indeed plays key role in demand and on price of an asset.

Countries like Venezuela are good examples why the world needs cryptocurrencies, there are many examples around the globe where currencies get massively devalued, mostly due to low interest rates and printing money to have liquidity in the market. These things work only in the short term and then at some point it collapses. You can see this happening with the turkish Lira too right now.

I do not think and cannot say bitcoin is overhyped because bitcoin has been in existence for a while as the oldest crypto and it also has a very good value compared to altcoin.

Some are saying that. But, as for me, it is not. As a matter of fact, I would even consider Bitcoin underappreciated. It is very clear that the world needs a form of payment that will be direct and hassle-free. It is not the kind of payment that we have right now with our fiat money, which is basically owned by the banks. A decentralized form of payment in Bitcoin is clearly a gem and yet the media is portraying it as a bubble. People should learn to take a look at the amazing technology of Bitcoin.

If you read a bit on crypocurrency history, you should know Bitcoin is probably the least overhyped coin in the crypto world.

I wouldn't say it's the least over hyped coin - there are plenty of bitcoin maximalists out there that think it's the only coin worth owning, and there are lots of altcoins that are hidden gems

I do think though that bitcoin doesn't get the hype it deserves, and conversely, plenty of poocoins get lots of attention when really they don't deserve it!

But with much more to see, we can aspect the rise of bitcoin for one more decade.
True. Bitcoin still has potential to raise more in terms of price. Bitcoin is still used as main trading pair for altcoins on many top crypto trading exchanges and platforms. Also most of the ICO’s that launch accept either BTC or ETH. BTC needs some update on its scalability issue because during market rush the transactions usually get stuck for long and also the fees are too high.

hard to say.
bitcoin has the value we want to give it.
but according to many specialists, for the moment it's not expensive.
they even expect it to increase sharply in the near future.
Nothing in the world has a pre decided value. Value of any object is usually what buyers are ready to pay for it. It’s simply the game of demand and supply. Higher the demand and lower the supply, more is its price. As demand of bitcoin increased overtime, so did its price.

I too think that BTC will increase sharply in near future as the bearish market is soon to end and institutional money is on the edge ready to flow in the crypto market.

Even the cab driver and our neighbors are talking about BTC back then, and even my co-workers are also asking questions about it. They thought of BTC as a way to have a massive gain which was a mistake that made their funds go down the drain during the downfall resulting to panic selling.

I don't see Bitcoin as being overhyped, it has a value as a reaction that is proportional to the amount of people that are coming to use it as a store of value. It has transformed from a payment system into a store of value as more people have adopted it for use. The growth of Bitcoin really happened as a respons to the Banking crisis that has been ongoing since 2010. Afterall who wants to pay for the privilige of storing their money in a bank account?

The creator of Bitcoin, whose goal is the common currency for the whole world, but I now find that people see it as hoarding, similar to gold.

No, I do not support the suggestion that bitcoin is overhyped because this is the oldest and most valuable coin in crypto, though altcoin may have advanced technology and maybe faster and cheap in terms of transaction speed and fee but this doesn't mean bitcoin is not better then they are. I will say that the slow speed of transaction is due to congestion but not withstanding, this coin is still getting more popularity and the community is increasing because people have believe in the promising potentials that bitcoin has and its price is also the highest of all crypto.

I do not think that bitcoin overhyped. It just very quickly gained popularity, perhaps this is just the beginning, and maybe the end of another bubble

BTC is not over hyped but I'd rather say much expectation is on profit from the investors not really on the adoption. Without adoption there can't be really rise in the value, the value is not over hyped but people are greedy of return from the investment.

Sometimes I think that it's true. As we talk about BTC price I think it's overrated of course. But now we see a real price of this coin.

Bitcoin was overhyped, but now we've almost reached the bottom. It remains to wait a couple of months and I hope that the growth will begin.

Now Bitcoin has a domination of 40-43%. But at the same time Bitcoin is the most liquid and sought-after asset. I think that this coin is underestimated.

I'm not sure, but it has a good value in the crypto world, I think it's not too exaggerated and I believe that's just the way in which people make speculation that is interpreted as hype in the future, but in my view, the more speculation it will be the better where he can make more people interested in bitcoin. because Bitcoin will become more popular today.

I can not agree with you, because I think your opinion is erroneous. Today bitcoin is the most popular crypto project among all the others. Bitcoin today is the benchmark of the entire crypto-currency market and I do not think it was overrated.

BTC has got a confident position on the current cryptocurency market thanks to this hype. But I don't think that it is overhyped because its potential is not opened till the end.
Bitcoin is still a fast moving crypto, even after so much ups and down bitcoin is still no.1 in the list. So I don't think it is a hype because of it's potential lot of people showing interest in bitcoin that is the result of which some are saying it as over hype.

No, definitely not. It is the first cryptocurrency, the father of alts, the first crypro that is legalised as a state currency in Japan. It's one of the best coins for investment and long-term hodling. I'm actually surprised that many people do not know anything about BTC, it's definitely not overhyped.

I don't think it's exaggerated. You may think that the price of Bitcoin is very high now, but I don't agree. I think Bitcoin will become more expensive in the future. Maybe not everyone can buy a bitcoin in the future.

I think the level of the hype is still very small. We see every year more and more investors who enter the game. I think that it is still very far to the peak. Similar conclusions can be drawn by looking at market capitalization. She is still very small in comparison with traditional markets.

BTC fell drastically, and the price now is just getting higher.
BITCOIN price is not over hype, it is just the demand of the people and the development on it.
there are so many good news now, we should expect more price rise on this.

Is Bitcoin overhyped?

Definitely. There's no doubt there are alternate cryptocurrencies that are as good as Bitcoin, or even better: lower and faster transaction fees for instance. Even when BTC tx fees have pumped up to 40$ it remained popular. I think the fact that Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency and it is 9 years old already, which is why people trust it mostly, plays a key role in its demand.

Indeed, the fact that Bitcoin cannot be defeated by other cryptocurrency.
Altcoin remains Altcoins as pino on the chessboard.

Bitcoin has a huge capitalist for its total finances.

overhyped or not, bitcoin still the best altcoins out there and it will go on until everything will end. Bitcoin will rule the world of fiat and cryptocurrency in the future. So its a huge profit if you have bitcoin right now, just get a hold of it and buy more while its price is not yet at its peak. Bullrun is coming guys. Fasten your seatbelt.

But, i really believe that bitcoin are the future of currency and will replace fiat or other currencies in the near future.

I do not think that this is so, because it seems to me that those events that are happening on the contrary do everything to make prices fall and push prices down deeper and deeper, yet there is a great chance that the news will get better.

Perhaps we can really say it has been but the good thing is that because was able to live in it. Even though it was overhyped the good thing that we can see in bitcoin is its ability to work on said case. Well bitcoin has proved to us that it is worthy of our hype and now we are getting used to its greatness.

I don't think that this coin is overhyped. As a matter of fact, I think that it is rightly hyped and the coin is just what it is. It is a great one, and there is a reason it is ruling the cryptocurrency now. i wish that more people will come to embrace this coin for the truth that it is, and watch it do its wonders. I super love this coin, and have great hopes for it.

It was definitely overhyped at the beginning of the year which is why the price got as high as it did during the bull but now the coin is starting to come back down, all of the hype do not look so bad now since the coin is still doing pretty good when a lot of the other coins are taking hit after hit. At this point i wouldn't say that bitcoin is overhyped anymore

Winter hype around Bitcoin was big, but he passed in a narrow circle of knowledgeable persons. Only about 5% of the world population own crypto currency, so before the big hype, we are still very far away. But when it happens, the price of $ 20,000 Bitcoin will seem ridiculous to you. ;D

I don't believe Bitcoin is over hyped.  I believe it's the opposite actually.  When we are on CNBC and every other financial site around the world and we have a market cap of 191 billion for the entire industry I don't know how we could be considered hyped up.  I believe we are in the middle of one of the greatest manipulations in human history.

BTC was maybe over hyped end of last year when reached $20 k , but this year the  market corrected it.
Now, it is rather under hyped as the whole market is in shady position, but BTC is strengthening it`s position
which shows it is the most trusted coin.

It is better to see bitcoin price not so high so people couldn't aiming for a high price by then. A lot of people losing their money due to btc hype happen last year which resulting damages on crypto reputation. And I may think that, $6k to $7k price is good enough to be stabilized.

It's likely that this is true, but it's already passed stage, when it cost 20.000 $, at the moment of its price equal to $ 20.000 it was really overheated for that audience, but soon a bigger wave of interest will begin, it already exists.

In the sense of its existence or price it is unclear what exactly you mean. Either way, i do not think it is overhyped, in fact with the uncertainty and fear surrounding it, there is still extreme wariness in most.

I don't think so. If you look at the price right now, it doesn't even look good for bitcoin (compared to its price last bull run).  Bitcoins popularity attracted a lot of investors to the crypto world and most of them are not investing on bitcoin but on other alternate coins.  I think a lot of alts owed a lot on bitcoin and it is losing its hype because the attention is on the other coin like Ripple and Ethereum.

If you claim that Bitcoin is over hyped, you might as well say that cryptocurrency is over hyped. Cryptocurrency is the currency of the future. Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency. It may contain certain flaws, but it was a pioneering project, after all. Future evoutions of cryptocurrency will, no doubt, achieve perfection. Meanwhile, we have Bitcoin.

Why do you mean? You mean it's price? If so then I think it's not really overhyped. As it already was mentioned before, traders are setting the price. And maybe it worth it's price.

For now bitcoin is underhyped. Because many investors are exiting on these coins and I see also that many investors are entering and making possession on it. I bet this is all because of the current bitcoin price. Many investors are buying the dip, hoping for another bull run to be expect.

I think there is no such things as an "overhype" for bitcoin. What i think is that people put their trust on bitcoin that what makes the price that high.
But right now the price of bitcoin is declining a lot, that perhaps many big investors starting to sell their bitcoins, and perhaps there are also people who are getting worried if it declined even more.

The present sell off indicates that it was over hyped during 2017 and the first half of this year but now a lot of speculation is leaving the market so there's not as much buy support which allows for the value to be manipulated more easily but there should be more institutional investment entering the market that will help spark a revival

I think it can be overhyped in a sense that some very passionate bitcoin supporters will say that bitcoin is king and will be forever number one. Sometimes, their enthusiasm may cloud the facts. Yes, bitcoin is the pioneer but we have to keep an open mind that in terms of features and potential, there may be other coins that could be stronger, am I right? And I’m referring to crypto as not just an investment, but as an actual currency.

I don't think so. The price clearly shows that it is not that needed because a lot of investors are dumping it. However, this might be a strategy to increase the demand for the coin. Low price can be enticing for big investors but we are not sure as to why other investors are selling their bitcoin. It should also attract new investors or traders that was willing to take the risk and hodl until the next bullrun.
