Bitcoin Forum

bitcoin dominance is on its way up. this is a pretty standard thing as the really speculative money leaves, but as time goes on and more big money has dealings with crypto you hear less talk of them having much interest in alts.

the latest of this is the guy from CME saying they have no interest in alt futures - https://cointelegraph.com/news/cme-will-not-introduce-altcoin-futures-anytime-soon-says-ceo  and if a bitcoin ETF ever happens, and it's a long shot, i can't see the SEC wanting much to do with the alt market when the bitcoin one is bad enough.

i expect the established alts to stay established. i expect most of the ICO junk to go away. at the same time bitcoin will be becoming more legit.

so how many people here have never had any interest in bitcoin and is that now changing?

I think there are no such people here, it's like touching the standard. Therefore, those who can immediately buy bitcoin and expects its growth, others begin their way with bounty and gradually also reach the purchase of bitcoin. But this is wrong and it has long been necessary to review the entire strategy in the market.

Some people around the world doesn't care about Bitcoin, but I know that when Bitcoin will be heading up again and would rise to so much percent then people will be greedy and will start to join in again.

As far as I know, so many people are still only interested in bitcoin, because they are still afraid to do anything that stops people from buying. They want confidence, but it does not happen in crypto-currencies.

maybe i should've made things clearer.

i'm talking about people who are already present in the crypto market who so far have only been interested in alts. there are plenty of them. i'd like to know if they're now starting to consider bitcoin as it's entering a stronger phase.

That's what's happening now, because most people just want to get high returns, and they want high returns on the cryptocurrency market, so they like to invest in ALT.
But bitcoin is recognized by many big countries, people ignore its true value.

Maybe some people are disappointed with bitcoin already. They thought that bitcoin is a totally scam that can harm their assets. They always think that bitcoin is a risk investments because some of the investors had experience fail and fooled by others by using bitcoin. In other hand, some people also have a huge interest with bitcoin since they heard the success of others. Actually both are happening, the negative and the positive side.

I think the digital currency audience is increasing even as market capital declines
Because the huge money in the first place is a part of the big whales
look at yourself
In the past you did not hear about digital currencies and I and many others
Now we all work and defend it as the future of currencies in the world

The people you are looking for might exist but not on this platform. Everybody on this platform is very interested in BTC. I don't believe there is anyone here who is not interested in BTC.

What do you mean by touching? :)
I think most of people in this group invested to Bitcoin atleast 1 time. That's contributed the first position of Bitcoin as currently.

This time is the transition period between industry 3.0 and 4.0. There will be many volatility and changes. New things that are compatible with the development of society will gradually become more stable and will become new rulers. The others are not appropriate will be eliminated. So can not say anything. If you believe in bitcoin then believe, someday in the future, bitcoin will be the dominant and replace the current currency.

Bitcoin is the first coin.It is the king of this market.There are many people in it. May be some people disappointed some time because their expectation are very high They want to become instantly rich but this market need patience.

There's still a huge population who know nothing about bitcoin. They don't even know how bitcoin and cryptocurrency can make their lives easier.
But the rate at which bitcoin was adapted and know around the world is one of the fastest for a completely new technology.
It's not even a decade old but already has everyones attention towards its.

I guess the majority of people are holding bitcoin but it looks like only a little percentage. Honestly, i still hold some bitcoin but the point of CME will not introduce altcoin futures caused by the majority of them still be classified as security token and that's the main point.
Bitcoin, not a security. ethereum was also but altcoin confirmed as a security.

I think the number will be huge. Bitcoin though very famous among the users of crypto community hasn't yeat made a huge impact to go mainstream yet. Recenty, a survey also showed that only 2% of the americans own Bitcoin. So, the number of bitcoin owner or someone who is related to BTC should be very low.

I think that all people involved in investing have the goal of getting lots of bitcoins. Newbies are beginning to invest in altcoins that earn enough money to invest in the BTC, as over time you begin to realize that only he can bring a profitable profit. I say so because I myself do this and know a lot of such people.

This website is bitcointalk.org, so everyone here maybe 100% must ever use bitcoin, al lot of project ICO and release altcoin will always pairing with BTC and ETH before fiat in many exchange.

I think there are around 95% of people living on earth that didn't touched bitcoin yet, and that all because we need to do big work of adoption in real life blockchain technologies

In my observation, many people now a days new Bitcoin not for the sake of its currency but of investments. That is why many are put from the news people who are less knowledge about it get scam and leaving without paying back from what they start of. Your were not too late for the big event, explore more and enhance the ideas and knowledge of cryptocurrency.

I have not touched a bit yet, but in the future I will own it :P :P :P

The answer will be nil here. This is a forum dedicated to the crypto market and here BTC is considered to be the best coin out there. So, we all have been linked or associated with it some way or the other.

Although we see lots of fuss about bitcoin everywhere there are a lot of people around the world who haven't even heard about it. Some investors think that ethereum is better than bitcoin and so they prefer eth over btc. Most people that bought alts might have bought btc first and then converted it to alts, that’s what I think.

I agree. They experienced disappointment in bitcoin so they tend to think that it is all a scam. I heard someone talking about bitcoin and they said that it is a scam since they lose some investment. But I think Bitcoin is a great investment and it all depends on how you make the downside your advantage in it. I believe that bitcoin will rise again and even I fail will keep on trusting bitcoin.

In my personal opinion, there are still some people that are never touched the Bitcoin. Although the BTC is the first and best cryptocurrency right now, it doesn't mean that all people in crypto has touched with it. The Bitcoin has the high value so that some people may not focus on it but only in some altcoins.

I also plate a lot to bitcoin. And also looking forward to the ico spam will disappear. To the crypto actually grow in a sustainable way ( ETH,...)

Bitcoin enthusiasts are increasing year by year, I am very confident with this, even though I cannot provide data and information about it through links or surveys, investors start studying Bitcoin, altcoin and all about cryptocurrency, now Bitcoin is experiencing a price decline but I don't see investors backing down.

So many people are there who never think of bitcoin. But I think one day when BTC will rise just way better than before then they will be greedy and join in BTC.

Your post is strange of course if you are going to invest in Cryptocurrency, you will first go to Bitcoin because this is the most valuable and coin with a high volume, I still have not met a guy who is involved in cryptocurrency and yet do not have Bitcoin in his portfolio.

Let's be real. This a forum dedicated for crypto, and these people have somehow been associated with BTC or any other crypto. So, it is safe to assume that there are no such people here.

I would say both are happening. A large amount of people coming towards bitcoin and start investing for it and making financial profit. On the other hand some are victims of scams and fraud which lead them to lose interest in BTC.

If you talk about people on this platform I don’t think there is anyone who has never touched bitcoin. If they were not keen for bitcoin investment they would not come here in this forum.

Bitcoin is the foundation on which crypto stands. Its usefulness is obvious. Geo recognition will grow. ICO is also a useful tool. However, it is still imperfect and not well thought out. When investors receive guarantees of their investments - the ICO will get a new development.

The reason why cryptocurrency gained the masses attention is because of bitcoin, so I doubt if anyone here have not touched bitcoin. Most investors and traders eye are on bitcoin price too before making their trade or investmeny decision.

I have a small amount of BTC but I'm not that interested in it, it's not my main focus in terms of holding and trading. I hope of course in its mass adoption and so on..but I believe massive adoption may come in the future from a different currency than BTC...
just my two cents

Though bitcoin has reached out to lots of people nowadays but there are more people out there too who are not aware of crypto currency especially in third world developing country like Africa.

I think there a lot of people who didn't actually "touched" BTC but very interested in this. They are only afraid that they can lose their money and waiting for regulators. Because it is very hard to give someone (Satoshi Nakamoto ;D ) your money, they need guaranties, but this not about crypto.

This question is better to ask not on this forum. And for example on some completely neutral from digital technologies forum. And we will see that the market is still very young.

I think bitcoin is the one true coin right now, all other alts will disappear one day so I would use them only for now to make profit. Bitcoin is very different coin  :)

i dont think there are so many people that spend time in this forum and read discussions and cryto economic related news and do not invest in crypto market. because i am sure that anybody spend time cans ee the potential profit in this market.

I started with mining so had to opt for ALTs like ETH and Litecoin. However, I slowly lost my interest after continuous dump in price and moved to Bitcoin recently. I think, though the market is volatile but Bitcoin still offer a lot of profitability than other coins. Current market situation may not support my statement, but I am optimistic about it.

It seems to me that there are very few people in this forum who have not touched bitcoin. On the forum in snovnom people who are directly related to the cryptocurrency

many people in crypto or in this world have not touched bitcoin, the high price and the rise and fall of the value of bitcoin makes many people afraid or hesitant to touch it, if the bitcoin price is stable then many people want to have bitcoin. not all of the bitcoin coins in crypto are owned by everyone.

I believe that if at all, there are only a  few persons who are in the cryptocurrency industry that has not touched bitcoin. This is one common that is mainly known, and one of the best out there. It is usually the first coin people involve themselves with one they enter into the industry. I would be quite surprised even to see anyone who hasn't touched this coin.

It is not just a bitcoin high volatile prices makes people worry but many governments have restricted bitcoin trading and crypto has a pyramid scheme so people don't know about bitcoin are a bit worried to invest particularly when prices are high. But most of the people who visit this forum on a regular basis might be having some bitcoins in their wallet already. I too had bitcoins in my wallet before I first visit this forum.


If prices are stable then traders don't like because they can't make a money on a daily basis and many people also invested for quick profits compared to other investments so if prices become more stable then you may lose some investors.

Precisely from ICO they can get to know the procedures for managing funds from Bitcoin, Ethereum etc.
Because from the ICO there were also several unique Altcoins projects that could be compared with real factors (such as chemical plants, health, logistics, drones etc.)

yes, although there are a lot of ICos that are Scam, but what should I do?

Cryptocurrencies are very good assets for making investments. But at the same time it is necessary to keep in mind the situation that crypto coins have a big level of volatility and it is really difficult sometimes predict what will happen with them. I have some other coins that I never touched, but bitcoin touching for payments.

The SEC does this purposefully. They do not want to recognize bitcoin and are stalling.It's a good time to see what kind of project has the right to life.Scum will be eliminated by itself and remain coins doomed to success.

Actually in this forum many of them are using coins based on this some are btc users and some are altcoins or other coins users also I don't  think such types of people are here .

Among my acquaintances and acquaintances of my acquaintances, only a few comrades are interested in crypto-currencies together with me. It is not more than 3%. What does it mean? This means huge prospects for the development and growth of bitcoin.

I think that everyone here is interested in bitcoin but not everyone has the opportunity to buy it because of too high a price. With altcoins possible to earn a lot money to buy bitcoin.

If you are asking in general terms, then I think that there are a lot of people who haven't held bitcoin. Only a small fraction of the world's population that have heard about bitcoin have actually touched it. But if you are referring to those who are invested in the industry already, I think that almost everyone if not all, has touched bitcoin, one way or the other.

Well, for me, you have to touch it to get to touch alts.
Fiat to crypto via somewhere like coinbase gives the choice of 4 or so alts/btc. I want some of them low cap gems, so have to go via btc
first right?
