Bitcoin Forum

Bitcoin is an online currency.  Even if started with a lower price.  Now its value is beyond the reach of ordinary people. But, nowadays, it seems that Bitcoin is losing its popularity.Because, not receiving validity in low income countries. It may be the main reason.

Bitcoin dominance this year is very high this year, I wonder what is the basis of your statement. Even if it is beyond the reach of ordinary people but it doesn't mean that we cannot afford it.

We can buy whatever amount we like, it's not like we need to buy 1 bitcoin or more. We can choose how much we like to stock or it can be your saving if you have spare money then you can put it in bitcoin and few years from now, you can see how much is your savings worth. 

We can say that Bitcoin is popular at times when its price goes up as was the case in late 2017 when Bitcoin was certainly front-page news in all media. It is a well-known thing that media shapes public opinion, so there is some truth in the fact that Bitcoin is less popular right now, except for those who understand that this is the right time to invest.

I personally have no doubt that history will repeat itself, and that Bitcoin will become popular at some point again. I agree that in some countries it is not easy to buy Bitcoin, in some, it is even forbidden. But what about all those people who still live without the internet? They have 0 chance to buy Bitcoin, or to even be a part of the digital age.

For everyone else, the saying goes, if there is a will for something, one can find a way to make it happen.

Bitcoin is still popular, Its not losing its popularity, people and other investors tend to go for other type of investment since its price suddenly drop after its pump since the last month. Those people are just waiting for the right time to invest again and once its price increases again, its to be sure that bitcoin will be the content of social media and many people will talk about it again.

Bitcoin is still popular and would still be popular even if coins popped out here and there. There's also the fact that Bakkt has recently reached an all time high trading volume, having a 796% increase of trades done. There's also the upcoming Q4 of the year where people are expecting bitcoin to reach around 10-15k so yup. Bitcoin is still popular, no lies there.

I won't totally concede to the believe here that bitcoin was popular in 2017 and that was why it got to the height it did back then. This is 2019, two years after, so I don't think so after we have had more adopters especially people that bought at the lowest  price early this year.

What I think happened this year is a correction of the unexplainable sky rocket of price in 2017 and not that people left the bitcoin space. We are just at the reasonable price of bitcoin that is leading us to more, stable and gradual highs.

People can buy fractions of a bitcoin; like you don't need to buy one whole bar of gold if you wanted to hedge with gold.

Bitcoin is a lot less popular than it was in 2017 because the bubble has popped, and a lot of clueless investors already pulled away their money with a bad taste in their mouth. Hype cycles are a thing with bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, hence why it's less popular today. It doesn't matter though; all that matters is long-term adoption.

Have you done a research to come out with a statement like that, have you look at this chart first before creating this thread
https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/ this is an irresponsible thread, posting without looking at the right stat, not because Bitcoin is not reaching your expectation you will say that it's losing it's popularity.

I disagree that bitcoins popularity is starting to fade. Actually I do believe that bitcoin is starting to gain more popularity all across the globe. There are even rumors that UNICEF is accepting bitcoins as a form of donation. Beggars accepting bitcoins as donations , even artists are now accepting bitcoin. There are already countries that are accepting taxes in form of bitcoin and companies accepting bitcoins as well as landlords  who are accepting bitcoin as payment for rent. If bitcoin really lose its popularity then there are lesser people who are now into bitcoin but its the other way around and that is reality.

Probably you mean bitcoin is silent right now but it doesn't mean bitcoin losing its popularity. Investors and traders are just being inactive because they might be waiting for the right time to come before they make a move. However, I gotta say that compared to the last year 2017 bitcoin is not that popular now probably because people are only there because it is a trend. Actually, there are some businesses that is now accepting bitcoin as payment so it basically means that bitcoin is still popular because a business will not invest in something that is not popular or no potential.

I think you need to set your mindset here, You always think of BTC as 1 full BTC.

Did you know that you can just start to invest or buy it as small portion and just continue to accumulate it overtime? And this is the reason why you think it's expensive in the first place, why not start like .01 BTC in the beginning and then if you have some extra money in your pocket you can buy small amount again? until you reach your goal of owning 1 BTC in your lifetime, sounds good?

I have to disagree with that. 1 BTC is higher now, but in the future could be much higher than your imagination. People need to convince themselves that you don't need to own an entire Bitcoin.. That is the sole reason why Satoshi Nakamoto created the sub-decimals. Recently I have given the following example on another thread in this forum: it is a fact that there are over 36 million millionaires in the world. If each one of them would want to buy 1 Bitcoin and hold it what would be the price of 1 BTC? Obviously at least $1M. But what if some of them want more Bitcoin and not just one, and take into consideration that 4M BTCs are lost. That would put us at a 17 million supply in circulation. What if countries around the world decide to add Bitcoin to the national reserves?

Hopefully you can see the potential in my model.

I tend to agree, bitcoin become more popular because more countries are starting to adapt and accept bitcoin in most of the countries these days. They are starting to prepare for more crypto projects and some are starting to accept a certain popular exchange in some country. This will show us that its way is clearer than it is before. We can see that the track where bitcoin is moving now is expanded where it can reach more people than before.

Compared to the time maybe late 2017 and early 2018 when the price of bitcoin reached at its highest, we can say indeed that it is not as popular and there is a decline of activities BUT this is not something negative for Bitcoin. In 2017, speculations abound for Bitcoin and although there is nothing wrong per se with that the thing is so much of something can make anything unbalanced and it was the same with Bitcoin. With lesser speculations, the better it can be for Bitcoin. Now, just because 1 Bitcoin seems to be now affordable it does not mean that anybody can not own Bitcoin since nobody will be refused to buy a portion of Bitcoin for some dollars.

The full potential of Bitcoin remains to be in the future and 10 years of Bitcoin is a short period of time to see the things it can do and contribute in the history of mankind. Now, you seem to be a little discouraged with Bitcoin and can be because you read some negative comments and analysis not favorable to this cryptocurrency but I am telling you don't listen too much to them as these don't know what they are talking about.

You better go with people who are enthusiastic on Bitcoin because this is the way to the future and you surely do not want to be left behind eating nothing but dust after our car has left, right?

If you see bitcoin losing its popularity nowadays then I think you are only looking on a single tree and not on a whole forest.

I suggest spending time researching the progress of bitcoin adoption status in general.


That's the beauty of BTC. You really don't have to literally buy a whole fraction of it. Don't believe in others that you need to buy the whole of it from the start to feel the profit. Yes, it makes sense but no need to push for that if anyone can't really afford it. Slowly, it can be achieved soon.

As days pass the bitcoin is gaining more popularity. Confirmation of the same is the increasing acceptance of bitcoin around the globe. Just because of its increased price we can't say bitcoin has lost its popularity. Any level of people can prefer buying as it has the denomination with which we can buy upon necessity. There is no compulsion that you need to buy a complete bitcoin.

If your comparing price to bitcoin's popularity, you are just incorrect and the only reason why the price might be going down is due to people not wanting to buy Bitcoins, which doesn't relate to popularity.

On the other hand, Bitcoin dominance is at an all time high due to the pretty big companies that are now investing into the currency, and it's more popular then ever before.

no he isnt comparing the price but he is only explain that bitcoin started low and end up high  . price is down not because people dont want to buy btc anymore but because some people are disposing some of thier bitcoins   . in conclusion  , bitcoin itself does not loose its popularity because we can still see that btc is still on the headline's   . btc's value is still high  ,  btc coin market cap is still high and btc is still the main crypto that is being accepted anywhere .

We may not notice is but Bitcoin is still popular until now. It might not be on the mainstream and not making a loud noise, it's actually reaching almost every part of the world. If the price is low, it doesn't mean that people are losing their interest towards it. Bitcoin doesn't have to be loud all the time as long as it's strikes higher each day.

I think Bitcoin will not lose popularity.
This time people is still playing in altcoin. So Bitcoin is moved aside for investment.

We know bitcoin price is get bearish, the price is low but only small people want buy it.
That is because some people wait the price get dip and have correction.

Popularity wanes over time when not a single exciting thing is happening within the ecosystem. Usually, bitcoin’s popularity soars whenever there’s substantial increase in pricing. At this point all eyes and ears, including the common folk and mainstream media would be pointed towards bitcoin. I understand your sentiment regarding bitcoin’s popularity hitting a plateau, but if you know the cyclical movement of bitcoin (which is still somewhat theoretical), you know that it’ll rise when the price starts rising.

How did you come up with this conclusion? No, Bitcoin isn't getting irrelevant. In fact, more and more people are gaining knowledge of cryptocurrencies by continuous adoption of different institutions and companies. The peak on 2017 was because of the hype, but even if the price and market is low nowadays, it does still strive and isn't going anywhere from what I can tell. In my experience, different apps related to commerce, online shopping, etc have already adopted BTC and it's gradually raising in number.

Bitcoin is always within the reach of everyone. I've just claimed 100 free Sats a minute ago from a gambling faucet.  ;D

I cannot understand why people are complaining of the rising price of Bitcoin when most of them do not even have the guts to buy a nice amount when the price is falling hard. And when the price is high, they are saying that it is too expensive for an ordinary person. Are you guys disciples of Peter Schiff, throwing mud at Bitcoin from all directions after not being able to buy it at a very cheap price?

And what exactly do you mean by "validity in low income countries"? Well, for what it means, Bitcoin does not need validity from any country.

Let's look at the charts of the popularity of bitcoin. The peak of popularity came in 2017 - the beginning of 2018, during the pump.
Most of the new arrivals came to earn money, realizing that it was not possible to earn money already in the first half of 2018, popularity began to fall because these people began to leave the market empty-handed.
But compared to the time before the 2017 pump, the current popularity of Bitcoin is higher, which means it has grown on the contrary.

You mean the developing countries? Well, some of them are already adopting cryptocurrency and some of them are on that way so for me the popularity of bitcoin is still the same and way beyond the previous volume. Bitcoin will never lose popularity because cryptocurrency is good for all of us and that is because of bitcoin.

First of all I don't think Bitcoin is losing popularity. It's just not that much of an ecstasy which it was a couple of years ago. People don't Eureka when they have one bitcoin. They don't brag about it instead just store it in their wallets and live lives peacefully. Most of the times you would see people with no crypto loudly shouting that bull run is here and all those stuff

Secondly, Bitcoin was intended to be a worldwide currency. Not just for the first world currency. Infact we don't even know from which country does the Inventor of Bitcoin belongs so It would be harsh to say that due to the inclusion of low income countries we have started receiving less interest in Bitcoin. Moreover who knows the found is from any third world country?

1 bitcoin is maybe beyond reach but you can buy it in decimals. When it was at $3,000 you probably said that and will said it again when it reaches $20,000 again soon.

Bitcoin is not losing its popularity. Instead it is becoming more popular. Bakkt was launched, Binance entered in the US and many more coming soon as halving is nearing to happen.

Low income countries don't represent the big volume of bitcoin users, investors and traders.

Maybe you just lack updates my friend.  ;D

I beg to disagree!  Bitcoin is more popular now than ever if we correlate it to the number of wallet users as per data from the graph below which shows that wallet users have increased by more than four folds in just a span of 3 years alone and this clearly shows that Bitcoin is indeed getting more popular as compared to previous years!

I do not agree with your statement on bitcoin losing popularity because it is still known by large number of people and many more new investors are gathering their interest in it.Although the huge investments have been not made this year but after the correction many investors will invest in it and price will surge once again.So don't spread any type of negativity around you. Btc will always remain the king of crypto in market.

My judgment may be because some people feel that for two years the price of bitcoin is unsatisfactory and they have waited too long for the price of bitcoin to rise so they sell it is their decision even though it is only a small profit or can only be a loss, they just feel worried because the movement is very slow and there is also for those who feel hesitant to buy bitcoin and but that does not mean it can reduce the popularity of bitcoin.
bitcoin remains the most popular coin in cryptocurrency and only takes time to prove or provide a satisfactory price value like 2017 or maybe more.

Bitcoin is not losing its popularity. Almost everyday there are news about adoption of bitcoin and cryotocurrency by different entities. Everyday new people are discovering the world of bitcoin, mostly becayse of their friends.
Just because the value is increasing, that doesn't necessarily mean that low income countries can't afford it. My country is part of a third world country yet crypto is being widely accepted here. And there are a lot of users engaging themselves with bitcoin.
As of now, there are more people getting into bitcoin than people leaving bitcoin.

Thank you for this!

I don’t believe so, IMO bitcoin is not losing popularity but it is the opposite. Yes, it is true that we are experiencing a continues drop in price and it seems that the price is consistent in the range from $8-$9k for days which may discourage investors but despite the drop in bitcoins popularity is still increasing. A lot of people nowadays know bitcoin or has interest in bitcoin, not only that quite a few companies or stores are also accepting bitcoin as a payment and I guess some other companies are now studying bitcoin and probably they will also accept bitcoin as another mode of payment.

I'm not sure what do you mean by losing popularity. I hope you don't mean on popularity on social networks. New bitcoin adopters appear all time and to my opinion bitcoin is more and more used in real life, also as a payment method and not only investment asset.

The market valuation depends upon demand and supply and nothing else, when the market started there was not much demand and that was reflected in the price and with the limited number of coins it is bound to go higher when there are new investors in the market. Who is asking you to buy the entire bitcoin, it is divisible and you can even purchase coins as low as a few dollars and the transaction charges are really low.

Here is a proof (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/904e374edcecc6f1e0d533eea3694891372124cdd9fd6d3adacacab9f2e93343) that i sent transaction with a fee of 0.00000247BTC as fees and got included in a block in 19 minutes. Any new excuses now  :P.

What came you to a conclusion that Bitcoin is not receiving validity in low income countries?  Bitcoin had been more popular then ever, with the government regulation and stuff,  Before it seems government are just ignoring Bitcoin but right now, its been a focus of discussion, the implementation, regulation or even banning and prohibition of the use of Bitcoin.  You see, Bitcoin had never been popular like this.  And it always possible to buy a portion of Bitcoin if one can't afford a whole one so your statement about Bitcoin value beyond the reach of ordinary one is moot.

No, it's not that Bitcoin is lossing popularity. If you're literally basing your statement to the current market condition or the price of btc today, you're wrong.
Maybe people who knew about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency lost their patience and trust towards the technology, because the price usually going sideways.

How can people suddenly forget about Bitcoin when they rode the hype during the unprecedented rise of Bitcoin in 2017. Infact, the Bitcoin adoption is even continuing to expand.

Is this really that the Bitcoin losing its popularity? I don't think so. Yeah, it's true that the price is beyond and out of normal people. But with the passage of time bitcoin increasing it's popularity a lot.

Bitcoin coins are increasing in popularity everyday. A lot of people are now interested in bitcoin and I don’t understand why you came up with the idea that bitcoin is decreasing in popularity. Anyways, with big companies trying to create their own coin and also promoting there coins, it made people came across bitcoin and it’s a great avenue for new investors to know bitcoin.

I dont know where your data came from but its really the other way around of what you are saying, before we dont have a single bitcoin atm's in the world but now we have plenty of those in the philippines bitcoin is being recognized and union bank has one of those atm bitcoin, they are also adapting , so for you to say that I dont know, maybe what your talking is some unknown altcoins or something

It's not really confirmatory but he is asking if Bitcoin is really losing popularity but we all know majority of us here will disagree, there is no way that it's going to lose it's popularity, it's even growing everyday there are good news and everyday there are a lot of events going on, Bitcoin do have everything, speculators, fudders, shills and that what's makes us a great community.

No one said anything about the legitimacy. Why did people move away from trade and invest at this time, even though Bitcoin was popular?

So what you are trying to tell with his statement of bitcoin loosing its popularity, the market is volatile and it is not a new phenomenon, the market was like this from the start and hence it is not a big surprise for anyone who is trading in the market for a long time. If you look at the price of bitcoin even now it is around $8000 and you think that the popularity is loosing  ::).

I don't think so brcause bitcoin is very popular worldwide and it used as primary payment using the cryptocurrency.  And the demand ks very exclusive even new investors are wanting to buy bitcoin and make an investment.

And some people are investing to bitcoin because they know that the value will rise up every year and good for long term holding and most likely to increase the profit.

Not sure where OP get his idea since it's the opposite that we are seeing right now. Bitcoin still popular and being used as store assets maybe there are some who uses bitcoin for transacting online dealing with buying or paying but the most part of holders are using it as investment assets. For some who understand trading they manage to use it for pairing to alternative coins and make a decent profits. There's no issue with popularities it will continue to prosper in the long run the value will rise with more adoptions being held.

The weak hands are already out from bitcoin because they didn't get rich quick which demonstrates that they had no idea how bitcoin works and what drives the price up and down. Personally , I'm glad that only the true supporters of bitcoin are still in the game as there is less FUD on Bitcoin.

Just because the price is down ( still double the price since 3k on 2019$ ) doesn't mean that it lost its popularity because we see a lot of ATM's being deployed into world, foundations like UNICEF accepting Bitcoin And Ethereum deposits, mass-media slowly points its attention again into Bitcoin and so on ...just think positive and I'm sure you will see the truth about Bitcoin's power.

I appreciate your reply here. Yeah, obviously bitcoin popularity increasing everyday.

Bitcoin dominance is still up there when it comes to the CMC rankings but I think many who tried to cash in on the big boom at the end of 2017 have long gone. So only traders or those who are lucky enough to invest in very good projects that suddenly decide to moon, make it big in BTC NOW and the Miners and big Bagholders who leverage trade in the Bitcoin Futures market. For many of us smaller people, it is kind of too late to get on the Bandwagon where Bitcoin is concerned, unless, as I said, we make it big on a small-cap coin project and manage to convert it to Bitcoin.

I think you are wrong bitcoin doesn't lose it's popularity, even it's price started to decrease from $20,000 in the year of 2017 because bitcoin still is increasing it's popularity everyday that more people knows about bitcoin that there are some who gets interested to buy bitcoin and there are still some who don't. So there are possibilities that bitcoin would reach it's price again up to $20,000 just like in the year of 2017.

We might think that the value of bitcoin is getting low right now but do not worru about it.This is normally happening to those in market. Eventhough it loses popularity in many people, there are still using bitcoin and believing what it can do to people. They believe that bitcoin is a faucet to earn and give us an opportunities to get some money out of it

Point of correction bitcoin is not losing it popularity I don't know what makes you say so.
The popularity of bitcoin has even gone higher than ever before,
Except for the numerous country in which bitcoin is banned which seems to be the major problems of bitcoin

I think you should use the latest news updates btc have been getting regarding different companies accepting btc as a yardstick to measure its popularity because from what I have seen or read lately I would say the popularity of btc is growing rather decreasing, take the recent Watford football club as an example or the latest news about Unicef, hope you understand.

Its not becoming "beyond" the reach of the ordinary people. You don't have to buy one whole coin to own bitcoin. You can always buy a fraction of the coins. 0.1 BTC, 0.01 BTC or even 0.00001 BTC. There is no difference. They all have a value. Your 0.0001 BTC can one day worth thousands of dollars. There is no such thing as you "can't" afford bitcoin.
If you still want to own one whole coin, there is always altcoins you can invest on.
If bitcoin is losing its popularity, why is it still on the top?

In recent years, the value of bitcoin increased by many times. People are now aware of it and started using it. But they have some unknown security fear which I think they don't need to have.
Bitcoin is too secure. It can be used by everybody having internet access. In incoming times,it becomes more popular. Its popularity can be increased if the government comes forward and accept bitcoin as legal currency. 

I think u r right, but the reasons may differ. I think the crypto market is giving a lot more projects and uses for new coins, while btc is not so great now.

There are dapps, crypto games, and a lot of new things in the making, but btc is staying the same.

So, crypto-interested-people are less interested in btc as long as they are not only interested in trading.

it is not true , bitcoin is only gaining popularity as is shown , for example by the ever growing number of the addresses with coins , google search queries and many other things
if you can't buy a whole coin , because it is worth too much now , nothing prevents you from buying a share of it
you can spend whatever amount of money you wish , be it 100$ or 10.000$
low income countries are the most usual visitors at bitcoin faucets and the sites that provide income in bitcoins or any other crypto
on the contrary , high price and constant growth allows people from such countries collect coins and wait for the price to rise or sell them straight away and make their living
I know quite a few guys who are literally living on claiming freebies , faucets and airdrops
they say it is way above the income they would get were they working on a regular job where they live

I don't think it's because of the validity that makes bitcoin unpopular in some low-income countries. I am of the opinion that bitcoin is less popular in some low-income countries because the country's government cannot yet implement blockchain technology (which is used by bitcoin) in the country's economic system. because if you look at the facts, in recent years, the use of bitcoin in some countries has increased rapidly. even in 2019 there are a lot of news about the mass adoption of bitcoin by several large and well-known companies in the world. so I guess if you see the popularity of bitcoin declining just because the price of bitcoin goes down, I think that judgment is very inaccurate

Why do you say so? I mean is there a credible reference where you saw that bitcoin is really losing its popularity? I mean, bitcoin is still the most dominant coin of all cryptocurrencies. It is just that when the price goes up, people I'm social media are making noise about it. The underlying statement is that bitcoin is still the most dominant and most popular coin.

This isn't true and just speculation. You are talking mostly about India and Chine I assume. Their ridiculous laws have nothing to do with the popularity of bitcoin and they are certainly not the only countries in the world.
I am not sure what you are on about.


Yes as I was thinking there is nothing to credit what the OP says. Just pure speculation and basically making things up. I do not see the reasoning.

I think your vision is clouded, you seem like your the kind of person who because BTC hasn’t grown in the way you thought it would, that it can’t. Maybe you would say adoption might come earlier from such low-income countries, but i think The future of Bitcoin depend on countries like US & member state of the European Union and maybe China. It doesn't depends on countries like Afghanistan, Greece, Iran, Turkey, Venezuela, and most African countries.

Bitcoin is the best decentralized platform of trust in Cryptocurrency. the usability layers and network effects that develop which add to its core capabilities are amplifiers, while those that seek to offset Bitcoin's advantages will fade into irrelevance. i see no reason to doubt Bitcoin's objective and success even if it does not 'defeat' fiat in low-income countries.

Bitcoin indeed lose some popularity this past few months due to the dumped that happen, let's accept that fact that the reason why bitcoin got so recognized last year was due to its unbelievable price growth. But every time bitcoin price got dumped the popularity it got from the pump slowly fades.

The popularity of Bitcoin does not reflect on the prices alone. If there is a dump, there are more people selling. Or not even that, it may be that there are more Bitcoins sold than what was bought. A single person may be dumping 10 BTC while 9 other people are buying 1 BTC each. In this case, 9 are definitely higher than 1 but the 1 has dumped more than the total Bitcoins bought by the 9. That is it. That does not mean that there are more people leaving Bitcoin rather than people coming in and supporting Bitcoin. 

This was I also noticed too, when bitcoin pumps up there are too many people adopting on it and start to invest as much as the can.
If they have an idea while the market hardly drops the price they will invest so that they can make a profit in the long run. But they wanted a short term investment and too late to jump in and accumulate numbers of bitcoin while it is in pumping up. They were losing interest when the price had a downtrend.

I think bitcoin has not lost its popularity, even though bitcoin value is low, it is due to poor market conditions. Be patient, bitcoin will also recover and soar prices.

Bitcoin still popular not losing interested with many investor, although at lower price position bitcoin become most popular digital payment currency so far, using fiat currency as your payment you have faced with inflation money value at the future but bitcoin not.

We all know that the financial world is cyclical, today it’s a popular and bull market, and tomorrow there may be a bear market and nobody is interested

Right now i don't think Bitcoin popularity is reduced in the entire world but it’s price was quite low in the last year since 2018 because when BTC price is huge dumped not only BTC whole of the market go to collapsed. In 2018 is the worst year ever for the crypto space. Now popularity start growing newly because of many countries will be adopt cryptocurrency. And now a lot of Btc based projects will launched in the legalize countries.  

This is a exactly my point.  People just create post on this forum without having any tangiable reasons or evidences to confirm the things they share here. Bitcoin for the past two has seen a rapid growth in its market economy which shows that it is constantly growing.  Bitcoin is all over the internet and news platforms..

Th price always matter after those series of dumps occurred in bitcoin marketplace, we can't control those situations that may arise. Because of its popular image since it begun to have legit adoption in several countries around the world, most businesses were now starting to implement digital currency payment system that uses blockchain technology. It has made the transaction more efficient and fast without any sort of delays, in order that it could provide their customer satisfaction guaranteed.

Maybe it is not what to called losing of popularity but people lie low in using bitcoin because of low price. Some focus on earning it without investing while others trying to take risk of investing in every little amount. Bitcoin is not losing popularity but recognizes the uses and benefits from it as a currency.

Nonsense! You can buy as much of it as you want. 10 years ago you could spend 100 dollars to buy bitcoin and now you can still spend 100 dollars and buy bitcoin.


No. Bitcoin is popular in Venezuela and India. These are low income countries. You're making it up or do you have an article or survey to support it?

Bitcoin is not losing the popularity if you see and hear they always waiting what will be the price of bitcoin. It's more popular now because some of are willing to accept bitcoin willing to use of every individual , country and so on. So I think what you said is not accurate news that bitcoin is losing the popularity because bitcoin is still popular.

You may say it for now because you haven't seen the most worst part but at least the price is still higher than it was in the bottom. Once Bitcoin started to skyrocketed to the moon you may change your perspective. I think you haven't here before to know that this kind of losing part is just normal since it is a free and open market there is still a possibility that the price would change in the future especially when the halving part comes in.

Bitcoin' s dominance and popularity is still growing stronger and it seems it is not stopping anytime soon. I find it very  difficult to understand the point of the OP that bitcoin's popularity is going down. As a matter of fact bitcoin has really done well in terms of popularity so far as this year is concerned.

Who said bitcoin losing popularity? many investor keep trusted with bitcoin as investment assets and always re investing after bitcoin break dwon. As investment and trading bitcoin always give investor profit and many country want to regulation of bitcoin because how popularity of bitcoin in digital currency payment right now, bitcoin most talking by many investor and companies every day.

bitcoin has not lost its popularity guys, you can see bitcoin users from 2009 until now. it is increasing. I think bitcoin is in most countries of the world, if there are countries that don't understand bitcoin yet. maybe they don't have internet. it only takes time to reach all countries of the world.

I don't think so, Bitcoin is such a coin which has created this cryptocurrency platform, All of the cryptocurrencies are following the footstep of Bitcoin and itself is a pioneer of this blockchain system so far. I think the popularity of Bitcoin hasn't got any negative touch, It's a matter of value we've got in recent times. You know that Bitcoin is the most valuable currency in the current world both online and offline, a lot of countries are taking this platform very seriously for the future prospect, people around the world is going to adapt with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency because of some userfriendly features, It's true that there are some weakness also but blockchain is a strong future vision which is going to dominate in the future monetary platform. so the popularity of Bitcoin will not decrease.

i know, because before bitcoin start rise the price, it price is low and after the price growing, many people join here, but it doesnt mean bitcoin lose popularity. maybe people just take a break because no movement from bitcoin. imagine people buy at high price at 2018 but until now they dont sell because bitcoin price is low. volume will high automatically when bitcoin price rise

Bitcoin has not lost its popularity. Bitcoin remains famous and is the king of cryptocurrency. it's just that people don't talk about it anymore because for the past two years the value of bitcoin has continued to decline. but I'm sure when the value of bitcoin pumps up again to $ 25k people will definitely talk about it again. and you are wrong if bitcoin is only for the rich or developed countries. I live in a third country and I can afford to buy a bitcon. we don't have to buy 1 btc. We can buy BTC in Satoshi (0.00)

maybe after I thought the popularity of bitcoin won't just disappear even though there are countries that don't allow bitcoin mining or investing with it, and maybe there are still many other investors who want to invest with bitcoin and there are still other countries that want to use bitcoin as digital money to transact with easy and safe especially now because more and more people are interested in bitcoin.

It wont disappear, if the time comes that bull run will come again in crypto world, it will become a topic of many people including in social media.
Many investors are still interested in cryptocurrency because they find it easy and profitable investment. The trust of investors is still in there waiting for the right time to invest again.

There's still divided opinions regarding to this matter. For some people bitcoin is just a bubble that simply being hypes and created bull runs, while for others it's a future payment currency which gives freedom to it's users and gaining store value.
Everything will be depending with how such a person define how he believes and understand about this system and how it will work from his benefits.

It's not losing its popularity it just becomes stable like all the other currencies like the dollar and the local currency that you are using, massive adoption has finally come, still moving you are not just updated on what's going on around you, I think you should you are one of the few that says that the big noise will come when halving is nearing and the market will have a steady bull run.

at the moment I don't feel that way, bitcoin still has a very high popularity and I feel that in the future bitcoin will be widely used by many companies because it can be used for long-distance transactions safely and quickly so bitcoin will still be popular as long as there is internet access.

It wasn't meant to be that Bitcoin only gain popularity once it hits at peak. No, Bitcoin's popularity remain as what it was, in fact, it become more popular than of before. Crypto dominance keep soaring high every year and I don't know why OP could say that thing.

Classic treatment of people never change, people will only approach you if they need something or if you are giving them benefits, but if not, then you'll be treated like you don't exist anymore, and that's what's happening in bitcoin right now. People always misunderstand the part of bitcoin when it's in bearish market, the do panic selling and think of it as an advantage of not lossing their profits but it's the opposite.

They lose their profits because their interest on bitcoin is not enough to stick with it in the long run, the only thing they know is if falls down, it will just keep on falling.

I don't think so. Bitcoin is still popular even though the price of it drops down for now but if the value of it rises up again many people will be able to get interested in it because they believe that it will be a good investment to earn a big profit. Maybe it will drop popularity when bitcoin price drops but when it is raises there are people use bitcoin due to the profit they can get when they are investing.

Bitcoin popularity has really not changed and we are feeling this way because we are actually using 2017 to judge it which we need to understand that bitcoin in 2017, in 2017, the market maker came into the market and they were the ones that made the market look so high by causing fomo buy and it was this fomo buy that attracted the interest of people, but because it was artificially created, it could not really stand that much, and anything that is fake will definitely loose it at the end.

It is really this way that bitcoin is meant to grow, slow and steady increase. Most dump that I have seen this year has really not been as much as it was in 2017, and after the little short dump, the market grows back to where it ought to grow to, so the popularity is really still dear mate and we will get more as time goes on.

I don't think it's all that bad honestly speaking. I remember a lot of people who were making fun of the panic sellers around $17k, then $15k, then $10k and so on---would they have held they would be slaughtered all the way to $3k.

Those who told people to hodl and actually did so suffered a lot last year. People can say they don't care about a 85% drop, but that's nonsense.... if you could have avoided sitting out an 85% drop you would do it in an instant.

In a nutshell: panic sellers were the winners of 2018 while hodlers were the losers.

You are wrong, by looking at the short term price, you cannot tell the real progress of BTC.
Instead, look more on its fundamentals and its long term price trends so you will see the reality.

The fact that BTC was dead many times and its value now at over $8K, this tells people are still investing on it.

Actually if you do some research there's a lot of factors you can see that would tell you how strong bitcoin is, the trading volume alone would tell something positive to us that people are still trusting on it.

one big news is that BAKKT bitcoin futures was launch, and that's a big company adopting into BTC.
And some good news relating to it, https://www.ccn.com/bakkt-bitcoin-futures-volume-soars-800-percent/

Losing popularity? I don't think bitcoin is losing poularity but in fact it is actually expanding many governments are regulating and accepting bitcoin as form of payment, many blockchain start ups are had been opened and currently expanding and some huge companies are now accepting bitcoin so, there's no reason why bitcoin is losing poularity.

It hurts that we are to face all these topics again and again. Some people always ask in negative ways like Bitcoin scamming, dying, losing popularity and so on. But they never spend time researching before posting topics.
Where Bitcoin is getting attention over the world, even USA  president talked about Bitcoin, world-famous giant companies like Facebook, Samsung, Telegram endorsing the crypto industry, there are still some people for asking these questions!

Bitcoin has over the years gotten popular. It keeps getting popular with every year, for instance Bitcoin popularity in 2012 and 2017 is not the same, this goes for 2019 too. I don't know what makes you think it's losing its popularity. More and more people are even getting into Bitcoin in most of these 3rd world countries, seeing it as alternative means of income.

The popularity of Bitcoin is not measured by low-income countries' acceptance but rather measured by huge influx of new adopters join the bitcoin community, mostly come from first-world countries that hold the biggest volume of bitcoin trading market. Those countries have the biggest role to make market movements or in other words; manipulate the market to pump or dump it.

Popularity is a different thing. It generally rises when Bitcoin price is high and it falls when Bitcoin price is low. Besides, I think Bitcoin has increased its popularity compared to the last year. Because 2018 was a terrible year for Bitcoin and it is in a way better condition in this year.

where are you getting that idea? here are a few metrics that disagree.

a study published last december showed the number of crypto users roughly doubled in the first 3 quarters of 2018: https://cointelegraph.com/news/number-of-crypto-users-nearly-doubled-in-2018-study-says

the number of blockchain wallet users has consistently risen every quarter for the last few years: https://www.statista.com/statistics/647374/worldwide-blockchain-wallet-users/

there is also data showing increasing adoption in the developing world: https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/10/02/bitcoin-use-growing/

Will you justify your statement? In my point of view, it's not base only on a lower price even though the price has it's volatility we cannot determine the popularity is decreasing. Bitcoin continues growing even price decline some accumulating to buy more. Nonetheless, bitcoin is more valuable than any other crypto and adoption is growing.

I support with you this.
With the fact that volatility remains and even getting stronger, it doesn't mean that it lost its popularity nor to see people never get interested in it.
Bitcoin will surely be popular and even more popular as we are in the massive adoption. However, its price really matters in terms of popularity, if we remember last 2017 when crypto surge high, everyone's is mostly talking about crypto investment and I believe almost everyone heard about this but it slows down slightly when bullish gets over.

There is a reason behind this and that is the lack of investora. Some of the investors maybe pulling out their investment in bitcoin because of the price are still going down. It will become popular again once they feature it on news.

And that is why we need to buy more while it is notmpopulsr becase the price could increase once it become in demand again.

maybe right now yes.. we can feel that the popularity of Bitcoin is diminishing, based on a search on Google we can find that people who want to know what Bitcoin is and cryptocurrency is reduced for this year if compared to the end of 2017 ago (https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2017-10-01%202019-10-14&q=bitcoin)..  most likely in the year 2021, the popularity of Bitcoin will again rise sharply, 2021 is a year where many experts predict Bitcoin will be Bullish.

what do you mean lose popularity? in my opinion you are wrong just the opposite now bitcoin is increasingly famous for the news about cryptocurreny facebook (libra). many people talk about libra and compare it with bitcoin.
over the past 2 years the price of bitcoin has indeed declined. so most bitcoin holders do hodl.

I don't think that Bitcoin is losing its importance. Because it still has the most market cap among the other cryptocurrencies. I know that Bitcoin's search numbers is changing according to the price. But Bitcoin is still at the top and far away from other cryptos.

It's not losing popularity it's just become common to all of us here when we keep seeing things on a daily basis it's become common, one example is Mcdonald, it used to be so popular and talk of the town until every corner has an outlet, it stopped being the talk of the town because people have become used to seeing it, we are just moving in a natural way.

I think Bitcoin will not lose its popularity so easily. It is still the most dominant cryptocurrency in the market and I believe it will continue to be like that for a very long time. Besides, when a new bull-run comes, its popularity will increase in a big amount I think.

It does not effect the popularity of Bitcoin if someone spread negative or positive news about Bitcoin even any kind of news is very helpful for Bitcoin to gain more popularity.These days every person in the world knows what is Bitcoin so I don't think Bitcoin is loosing popularity even it is getting more popular day by day and its popularity is unstoppable.

Everybody knows Bitcoin is a digital and online currency that can be used in any transaction. As you can see bitcoin become more valuable especially in the year 2017 where the highest peak bitcoin is around 20000$. I think you are wrong as of today bitcoin becomes more popular and as you can see many industries are now accepting in their payment. Lastly, I know there are some countries that started to accept and legalize bitcoin so basically it will never lose its popularity.

Bitcoin is still popular and lots of services and alternate payment method using it. There is no way that it will lose the popularity since it is still trending as the best investment and first cryptocurrency that is decentralized.

Maybe some psrt of the other country has no use of bitcoin since they maybe ban and the popularity may decreased in that country.

I doubt that's the case, nor do I actually believe bitcoin is losing popularity.  It's easy to think that when the price has gone down a little, but compare it's price now to what it was even in 2015.  It's at least 20 times higher.

Now, as regards those 'low income countries' you mentioned I would say bitcoin is just as popular in them as it is in wealthier countries.  Take a look at how many people from countries in Africa and Asia and S. America who are taking part in campaigns and bounties.  Look at how popular bitcoin is in the Philippines.  All of those countries strongly contribute to bitcoin's continued existence.  I would posit that they especially are necessary for bitcoin to survive, not the rich countries.

Losing popularity with bitcoin when price bitcoin still down but if bitcoin price have back to higher I think become most popular coin again, look how situation today no one of economic expert discuss with bitcoin when bitcoin price still down, but did you see how many expert of economic discuss with bitcoin above $15K on last 2017 where they have talking with the history of bitcoin price.

Bitcoin has not lost its popularity, maybe for some people who are still unfamiliar or do not understand anything with this technology they do not realize if investing in bitcoin when cheap can provide benefits in the future if the investment they make is a long-term investment
they will realize after the price of bitcoin surges like 2017 and of course many are disappointed because they did not take advantage of the opportunity to buy bitcoin when prices are still low

Popularity in  media goes up and down, with every bull run it starts to show up in media, and with every bear market it loses popularity.

If you believe Bitcoin is good inovation none of the newspaper articles written with bombastic words shouldn't make you lose your faith.

Every now and then bitcoin price is become low and high. And i think the bitcoin popularity is not losing because many people now are getting interested on bitcoin.
Maybe the value of bitcoin now is lower than the price last last year but the popularity is never losing.

I consider bitcoin to be still popular because of the evidence that there is still a lot of media discussing it. Plus there are still many ICO
projects that have sprung up, this is proof that bitcoin are not losing popularity. But since the price is still far from the time of 2017,
it makes the foundation people say that bitcoin is losing popularity. But in reality it's not like that, there are still many investors who believe
in bitcoin. You can see several large volume exchanges bitcoin is still quite high.

Its not losing its popularity, in fact, more and more people are starting to know and learn about Bitcoin. However, theres a difference between, people know that it exist and people buying it or investing in it. Those knows about it but didnt buy yet may Buy or invest in the future. Whats important is its gaining ground even on a slow phase.

I dont think so, Its happening the opposite bitcoin slowly spreading popularity and adoption, my country is not rich but they are slowly accepting bitcoin even small businesses. Also, there is a proof on coinmarketcap bitcoin dominance is about 66% it is still the king of crypto.

Maybe you right with bitcoin losing popularity with very lower price today, for October bitcoin never back to raise higher price and still down with $8 where last month bitcoin above $10k, will become bad thing for bitcoin losing popularity and give bad for altcoin price? lets give best for bitcoin can raise to higher price again and we need to get much profit with bitcoin investment for long time because only bitcoin become profitable investment.

Ктo тeбe cкaзaл чтo oн вooбщe нe дocтyпeн для oбычныx людeй? Tы мoжeшь кyпить кaк нa 100$ тaк и нa 10000$. И я дyмaю чтo мы нe дoживeм дo мoмeнтa иcчeзнoвeния BTC. Oн ocтaнeтcя нa вeкa, тaк кaк этo пepвaя кpиптoвaлютa и ocтaнeтcя oнa нa pынкe нa дoлгo. ;)

Anyone can buy at least some units of Bitcoin, because one coin consists of 100 million satoshi. As for the popularity of Bitcoin, its level mainly rises during bullish rallies. The main reason for this is that most people, one way or another interested in blockchain technology, want to make money on it. They are not interested in what opportunities Bitcoin provides, its technical characteristics. These aspects of Bitcoin are interesting only to developers and a small group of enthusiasts.

I think you might be right but there is a technique that still works and can make you a lot of profit which is Binary Options Trading. Binary Options is one of the methods used for online trading. It is beneficial for a new trader as well who is facing problems in the stock market. This technique depends upon commodity prices or currency pairs and their increase/decrease. From the last few years, this type of trading has become really popular offering investors with a low budget a way of trading on the financial market.

Fluctuations will always be there as a part of bitcoin and crypto currency world as long as a group of people hold huge amount of bitcoin or until there is demand and supply which cannot be stopped and I believe bitcoin always comes back stronger but last 18 months has not been as expected but things will change don't mix up altcoins with bitcoin as they cannot survive without bitcoin.

Of course every opinion is valuable and has the right to exist. But you shouldn't think in such a pessimistic way. May be comparing with the 2017 year the interest to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency became lower, but it is not losing its popularity at all. It depends on the region may be or exact country. But in case you look on this question more globally you will find out that it is still popular, even very popular. And the interest sometimes falling a little down, but after is rising again. There is some opportunities or services in the Internet with the help of wich you can check the level of the interest or google searching for the concrete topic, for example Bitcoin. There you even can see the popularity in different countries all over the world, the rating of the topic Bitcoin in different regions of the concrete countries. Of course these data may be not very precise, but you are able to make some approximate conclusions. And interesting fact that the most demanded topics are Bitcoin and Bitcoin price.

Bitcoin is started in 2009 and its price is in basically none from 2009 to March 2010 . In  July 2010 its price is $0.08 and now its price is 8067 USD. if it is popular,   then its price is increased. In the future, it will also be increased. so Bitcoin is not losing popularity yet.

Actually Bitcoin is gaining more popularity and we are in the process wherein every countries are in deliberation whether they will accept crypto as their additional currency or not, or if they will legalize it or not, Bitcoin is 10 years now, we have long way to go and people are now becoming more aware and joining every opportunity in crypto world, so I don't think that it is losing popularity.

for me it is not the main factor that bitcoin loses its popularity, but the government or the country is still studying crypto and bitcoin. the proof is that currently in my country there are still including low-income countries.

I hope they find good insight into bitcoin and become more popular when another country introduces Bitcoin as a great help to our economic growth. Probably there is a conclusion. Maybe it's due to its value since the value of bitcoin now is so low the reason why there are only a few people who are attracted to invest on it and I think in order to regain it's popularity much better to double or triple it's price to attract more people to invest in order for them to be able to earn big profit.

I believed when the next halving comes it will gain again much more popularity and people will adopt again and hoping they will gain profit but the fact they are too late, they cant jump in when the price is high.

Although Bitcoin is losing popularity as you said, Bitcoin will continue to spread his wings throughout the world step by step. I don't think that now Bitcoin has lost his popularity, many whales still want to buy Bitcoin.

I think your opinion is wrong. See statistics on the use of bitcoin transactions and bitcoin addresses. A lot of newcomers appear in the crypto sphere, especially in 2019. Maybe Bitcoin is not a popular topic for conversation as weather, but it has enough popularity to attract new users and be a topic of discussion among leaders of many countries

Buying an entire bitcoin is beyond the reach of some, but you can buy increments and work your way up as the average person, eventually owning a whole bitcoin.

It's not losing popularities but the opposite instead, more countries are starting to be curios about this currency they are trying to gain control
by placing rules to have jurisdictions, to those who are not yet being open to this system they are tagging bitcoin as something as illegal. But
to those who already have good outlook to this system, innovations is more welcome and adding this new currency is their to work out.

Bitcoin price is depreciating but that does not mean that the popularity is losing, we are free before and we can use it in every country.
Bitcoin gets the attention of every country and now it is banned to some of them! Bitcoin is more popular now and many governments is getting their hands on the cryptocurrency to do scared of being their FIAT be out! Don't set your meter of popularity to the price of bitcoin in the market!

Please, if you want to share your opinion, at least there is an understanding and correlation about what you convey. there is no correlation between the low income countries and the declining popularity of bitcoin. a lot of information about blockchain technology and especially the concept of stable coin, makes the news more focused on it. last week until now the market dominance is still on the side of bitcoin. its popularity lies with those who make significant hype and development.

In this regards, if certain countries are not providing their support for the bitcoin, still, bitcoin is at a massive development in its adoption to most of the countries. That's why I am not agreeing about bitcoin losing popularity. Sooner or later, if the government acknowledge bitcoin for low income countries, that chances are favorable that it will further become popular and adopted widely, right now they just need time to consider things that crypto can affect them.

For me, bitcoin is not losing its popularity may be in a different country. But in my state, bitcoin is becoming well-known because a huge company announced that they would be accepting bitcoin as a payment and vice versa. Also, before that, some schools advertise that they will be accepting bitcoin as payment for tuition fees. Some ppl leave bitcoin because they can't profit well because of the price rate, but I'm sure if bitcoin is almost legal to your country I'm sure that even bitcoin's price rate decrease you will continue using it. :)

It isn't that it is losing popularity. It is that when it goes up in price then people talk about it because it is doing well. When it isn't then people don't talk about it. Only true belivers stay around during the drops. They know it is only temporary and won't last long, they look ahead in years time not like most other people who only focus on the present.

People in low-income countries can't use the currency due to the artificial fee market created by Blockstream. But not worries.

There are many alternatives coming along which will solve this problem like Bitcoin Cash which is fully aligned with the original vision.

First of all the decrease of price of bitcoin doesn't really corresponds that bitcoin isn't popular, its just that there were only few transactions or trading of bitcoins are taking place. We all know that cryptos was extremely volatile that is why we should not be amazed if its price drops in a single time for its normal. What we can do is to support bitcoin as it takes the journey in the crypto world.

I don't believe that OP did the right statement, Bitcoin never been losing its popularity but instead, it gaining more. Only the price steps down but it actually never been dump too dip. The name Bitcoin still soaring high, in fact, many establishments accept Bitcoin which I believe this could be a start for huge crypto adoption and helping to promote Bitcoin as another mode of payment.

Sorry, I don't think so. The decline in Bitcoin prices cannot be attributed to its popularity. We know that most of the reasons for current declines are caused by whales or big traders. They are likely to manipulate prices on the market. The issues of rejection from various countries have already appeared from the beginning, it was already happening for many years. So, I don't think it contributes big impact on Bitcoin's popularity.  

With the likes of Facebook libra, Donald Trump tweet, Samsung and Microsoft venturing into Blockchain technology, this year has even exposed Bitcoin to the outside world than ever before. It has gained more popularity than losing any.

Bitcoin still dominance and not lost popularity until today, look at market how many percent dominance bitcoin than altcoin, last day I checked about 66% dominance bitcoin than altcoin and look bitcoin still not lost popularity, better if you keep invest with bitcoin and stop heard bad news talking about bitcoin have lost popularity and make price will be down, keep focus on your bitcoin as investment assets.

Bitcoin is just starting its line to surpass anything. yet all country still banning and wanted to control it but in the other way they make bitcoin more famous. curiosity will bring awareness and demand. popularity of bitcoin will expand more that all users will benefit. no one now will going to stop bitcoin.

When bitcoin lower price absolutely lost popularity of bitcoin, depend with bitcoin price to get popular of bitcoin. Last first bitcoin launching to public no one know and interested with bitcoin, after bitcoin price pump to higher price not only person but also company want to adopt bitcoin as investment and digital payment. But at the future bitcoin keep lower price will possible bitcoin lost their popularity.

It's weird if the basis on why bitcoin is losing popularity is just because of what's stated on the op. There's no actual proof and basis for that claim. Bitcoin is not losing its popularity and it's, even more, getting the attention that wasn't given to it for few years.

Yes, very accurate.

I think people in low income countries should directly use lightning network.

The popularity of bitcoin can not only be determined by the validity of a country. We all also know that bitcoin is a fairly controversial innovation, has certain plus and minus that is used as a consideration to be accepted or not by a country. Although not yet accepted globally, bitcoin is quite openly accepted by the world although not completely, due to certain binding rules, which are adapted to each country to protect its economic sovereignty.
On the contrary, I would argue that the popularity of bitcoin or we call it cryptocurrency is increasing. Moreover, one giant social media with such a large and influential community plans to make its own cryptocurrency. This indirectly introduces cryptocurrency to a larger community, inevitably they will also learn it until eventually, it will definitely relate to bitcoin. Is not it?

Well, I am not for the idea that Bitcoin is losing its popularity. Checking the market stats now, it appears that Bitcoin dominance occupies about 70% and this is good for Bitcoin. Aside the market dominance, Bitcoin still remains the number one position on the market. Bitcoin is the future.

I don't see the point. The cost of Bitcoin does not affect the possibility of using it by everyone. Even for low-income people. We ourselves gave it such a cost, but its main purpose, and remained available to all.

Good opinion, I have the same thought that it's impossible for bitcoin to lose popularity. Because many facts that show
that bitcoin is still the star in the world of cryptocurrency. One of them is almost in all exchanges shows that bitcoin
is still dominant compared to other coins. It shows that bitcoin is still popular and is still becoming the best. Because
bitcoin is king of the crypto.

Well, I don't think bitcoin has lost any of its popularity, in fact, it had become more popular than before. Even the price of the coin has declined somewhat now, it still remains as the crypto king. This coin's dominance keeps sailing high each year and now it also had gained a great wider acceptance all across the globe with many of the huge companies accepting it. So, I don't find any reason for bitcoin to lose its charm...

Yes this article lacks the content as there is no way that the bitcoin is losing popularity especially when people are diverting funds from other altcoins to bitcoin this article seems immature to me but as this might misled the newbies who don't have much idea about bitcoin.

it's true, I see the future of bitcoin is huge, how could bitcoin lose its popularity when large companies start trying to enter cryptocurrency?
Facebook for example, this is an early sign that cryptocurrency does have a bright future.

Apparently, Facebook will have huge problems with Libra, not only on the path to implementing its project, but also with real partners who already at this stage refuse to cooperate.  But with regard to Bitcoin, not everything is as unambiguous as it seems in fact, because there are difficulties and real potential, but these difficulties must and can be overcome.  If, for example, you get rid of poor scalability, then a large business in any case should be interested in large-scale Bitcoin transactions.

Government are egoist, they are eradicating all of the things that gets on their way that they can't handle. Fiat is their slave, and so we are (if we use fiat), it is true that they banned bitcoin because they can't control it, however with fiat, they could do all things they want from it, they can burn it or remove its price whenever they want to, they are also the one who gives value to fiat because they have the power to do so.

Bitcoin is beyond their limit, banning it won't' stop bitcoin, and that is what annoys them.

I agree. Bitcoin wont losing popularity, in fact it is being recognize because it is accepted as mode of payment on different country. Low price of bitcoin and small movement of it on the market does not a conclusion to think that it is now not popular, it just part of its volatility and still many cannot afford that price of bitcoin to have an investment.

What is the validity you mean here because most of the low and third world countries trying to adopt blockchain technology as well as cryptocurrency for their government.
Reason is it will give better exposure for them in the international business market.
Fact is cryptocurrencies are getting popular in all the places including third world countries.

bitcoin's dominance in the crypto-currency market is currently over 65%. Considering there are thousands of all coins, and Bitcoin has 65% of the market, that proves that pic when is still popular.

The people can still reach the price of bitcoin and it is an ordinary matter that the value of the bitcoin as very high as  of now and the reason behind this is the dominance of it around the world market. This also was the reason why bitcoin become more popular to the people hust because of it's validity and the dominance of it around the world trading. I don't know why did you say so that the popularity of the bitcoin is losing right now, maybe because of the huge dump of bitcoin and that was the reason you say that.

Bitcoin is still the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. It is what comes first to the minds of everyone when cryptocurrency is mentioned because it has turned to be a public spectacle now. It has the largest market cap which means it has the highest dominance on the market. Most investors look out for its market movement before deciding on investing in any other coin.

Can you be more specific what low-income countries are those and do you have data to support your claim or this is just an assumption, not because the price is not what we come to expect we can say that Bitcoin is losing popularity
You can check it here https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%201-m&gprop=news&q=bitcoin you can hover on per region and you'll see that Bitcoin still holds the number 1 search term in that region in Canada, China Russia, and other countries.

I also wonder because in my point of view it was getting more popular as time goes by. I don't think the decrease on btc's price is the reason why OP make such statement, I think the countries which ban bitcoin or any form of crypto. Okay! Let's assume that a certain country refuse to adopt btc, for me it remains popular because they knew about it in the first place — they are aware of such thing. Am I right? :D Less adoption doesn't necessarily mean less popularity.

Well firstly, I don't think you should look at the popularity of something off Google Trends. It isn't a good indicator of how many people use it, what transactions are there, etc, it's just how many people Google something which might not be the best data.

I'd actually argue the different thing - Bitcoin adoption in those smaller countries, like South Africa and other African countries have been extremely important and they are probably one of the main countries/continents that utilise Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies.

If we are saying that bitcoin is losing its popularity, its like saying that crypto is losing its popularity.
You are right, bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency since its holding a very high dominant rate and as long as the market will not be stable, it will be difficult for altcoins to surpass the popularity of bitcoin.

That's how people think, when bitcoin increases they say bitcoin is very or increasingly popular and when bitcoin decreases they say its popularity decreases, and those words often appear.
and in my opinion the popularity of bitcoin has not diminished, and actually the popularity of bitcoin continues to increase because many people are just starting to get involved in it and only need time and adjustments to be able to increase bitcoin and I am very optimistic about bitcoin popularity.

Many things cause the price of bitcoin to fluctuate. For example, market demand, news and more. I am of the opinion that the current high price of bitcoin is the influence of bitcoin popularity. From 2009 to 2019 now, the level of popularity of bitcoin continues to increase and it can be seen from many countries that have adopted this as a payment system in various outlets. The fall in the price of bitcoin does not prove that its popularity has fallen.
In trading, news will affect prices very quickly. Is it because of the fall in prices can be expressed as a decrease in popularity ? I don't think so, but if the number of bitcoin holders drops dramatically in large numbers, then I think that is an indication that the popularity of bitcoin has fallen.

he didnt say any name of a country but he only said low income country , so you mean your on a low income country ? if it is then what is the name of that country ? low income country are the ones that is not strict but those high income countries are those who are more stricter based on my observation .

bitcoin did loose popularity because its price decreased or seem to be stable now , meaning no people have joined yet .  not unlike to when its hyped , its value grow rapidly because new people are entering quickly

3 years ago, bitcoin gain so much popularity; due to its high price and being more consistent. If you are gonna compare it, Bitcoin is more popular before than today. Thus, it is losing its popularity but still worth it. Right now, bitcoin has value.

You still remember with bitcoin price three years ago where above $15K, maybe you invested your mining three years with bitcoin higher price, but today bitcoin down half to $8K and give less popularity with bitcoin, many investor have move to other investment kinds where they want to invest with gold or property assets. Iinvestor have waiting more than two years but bitcoin price still down and never raised to higher price again.

I disagree with what you say, what is your basis for saying that bitcoin is losing popularity. although the price of bitcoin is far from reach, but the longer people will understand about bitcoin and I'm sure many people who want to devote to bitcoin. bitcoin is very easy to use to trade anywhere and is more efficient than fiat currencies. if you only have the main reason, because bitcoin has no validity in low-income countries. in my opinion it will not affect the popularity of bitcoin.

The price is getting down doesn't necessarily mean that the voice are losing the publicity , honestly they are more known by the public than ever and the price is something that you cannot predict therefore the reasons that your might think of it being happening is futile until and unless there are actually government getting involved she forcing people to sell out their coins.
Like in India.

No, that is not the main reason for Bitcoin losing popularity, but because the government is still afraid to adopt Bitcoin as a legal payment method. So that makes people reluctant to use Bitcoin in their daily lives. Bitcoin will remain the greatest ever since digital money existed.

I don't think that is true, I think just because the market is on downfall you think of that. There are lots of news that bitcoin is being legalized all around the globe, meaning it is being recognized by different countries. I can say that they really appreciate and adore the features and platforms of cryptocurrency. Regulating bitcoin is really impossible since it is decentralized, no one runs it. We are the only one who supports it and also the investors who are the big factor why some projects are becoming successful.

It seems to me that it is better to be prepared for the fact that the price of Bitcoin may fall, not only grow to 14,000 dollars. You really need to be prepared for the low price of Bitcoin and buy it!

Since like that bitcoin popularity not lossing yet with i hope it will never lossing almost bitcoin popularity will alive. Actually who's loves in bitcoin totally those people will never leave bitcoin because although we knows that bitcoin one of the best profits currency in the crypto market. Here if we want investment trading then we must need step first follow bitcoin, so i believe bitcoin popularity will increase day by day.

they only postpone adopting regulations that are still being developed internally, developed countries even take an open stance. imagine if bitcoin was passed at this time would be in conflict with fiat and create confusion for many new people. Single transaction system via blockchain is also not ready to be accepted globally, this will damage the banking system such as clearing etc. the right title in my opinion "delaying popularity"

In my opinion, Bitcoin is not losing its popularity now. On the contrary, I think that Bitcoin adoption is getting to a better level in progress of time. We can't say it is losing popularity just because the search numbers of Bitcoin on Google is changing.

Maybe, but it will increase after it goes up again, even though it is still used every day by thousands and it is in constant movement, I think it will increase its value again, let's see, the certain thing is that it is already a market created and based in cryptocurrency and specifically in BTC more than any other new project out there, there are also many projects around BTC that some people are trying, most of them are scam as they say. So it will stay up from my point of view

bitcoin popularity continues to increase until now bitcoin is the number one coin that has never been defeated is not right to call bitcoin losing popularity
I noticed the volume of bitcoin continues to increase in 24 hours but at the moment the crypto market is in a state of correction just a little touch big news of bitcoin will pump

Everyone is welcome here, everyone has a chance to adopt the system in fact, Bitcoin's popularity keeps growing especially in the 3rd world country. Badly it was, they only know the name but not really engaging in it because they don't have the capacity to invest with cause of their financial capabilities and as well as their economic system.

The popularity of bitcoin is already spread out around the world and not just bitcoin but many cryptocurrency already made on the headlines of many country. I don’t support the word not popular anymore because bitcoin is still new and the adoption on every country is just about to start so stay calm because we are still young.

Bitcoin losing popularity is impossible because bitcoin still have many investor, if losing popularity maybe many investor will left bitcoin and join with other digital currencies investment, bitcoin still the top digital currency have potential on higher price, maybe wait the time when bitcoin back to higher price. Many people keep trust with bitcoin and save money with bitcoin as investment assets.

I don't know where they are getting this information, Bitcoin's use is actually increasing rapidly, the price is not indication that people are losing interest, actually we are becoming more popular as the number of users increasing and that some government would like to regulate it and they are studying how to impose tax on it.

I think that popularity is lost among those who bought Bitcoin for 15-20000 dollars. But we really see how many new people come to the cryptocurrency market. The overall popularity of Bitcoin is definitely growing!

I think bitcoin is still the most valuable coin in the cryptocurrency market and hasn't lost its popularity. Current price declines are common because price fluctuations are normal in any market. If we look at history that bitcoin prices start at 0 and reach the highest price at $ 20k, I think bitcoin is still a valuable asset

Maybe I still believe that bitcoin is very popular and many believe and want to invest their money to invest there.
the popularity of bitcoin is quite sure it has nothing to do with the state of a low or high income country.
because bitcoin is still trustworthy and even still a very promising investment.

What do you mean by "low-income countries"? If third-world countries is what you are talking about, I don't think it is a reason why bitcoin is losing popularity. Here in the Philippines, some universities already offer a course about blockchain technology. Some business also starts to adopt bitcoin as one of the payment. I don't even believe that bitcoin is losing popularity now because it has a big potential in our future technology.

You can only say that bitcoins was on a decrease in popularity if there is a drastic change in bitcoin users worldwide and you should be backed up with statistics.If you are observing the current condition of bitcoin were as of now maybe you can tell if it is declining in popularity. Moreover, not all "low income country" you are saying were against implementing bitcoins if you search for countries accepting it.

I don't think so the popularity of the bitcoin losing this year, because now bitcoin is still famous for every country even not all people know about the bitcoin but they still a lot of citizens of every country know about the bitcoin. It will become more popular if thw price become higher this year so we can help to the bitcoin by spreading it to our relatives who are willing to invest and  the effect of that is it will rise plus more famous.

I am not so sure: my close friend is an unregistered bitcoin (BTConly) ATM operator serving poor neighborhood and they are seeing increased pressure villagers empty out ATMs. To keep it in perspective those ATM had advanced counterfeit detection bill mechanism that handles up to 500 bills and it is guaranteed to be filled every day which were confirmed by random night time visit.

Had BTClost its popularity, why would people still buy it from ATM? please enlighten me.

Bitcoin is still the most popular cryptocurrency today and that wouldn't change easily. Even though its price fell down a lot on the past few months, we cannot still deny the fact that the price is still very high compared to other coins. It was the pioneer currency and I don't think it will lose its popularity even in the next decades. We need to be optimistic if we are investing in bitcoin, we should not conclude anything that would harm other people's investment, instead we should spread positivity and hope about it.

I think so because as well all I know bitcoin coins are expensive especially to those poor countries. They can't afford to invest in it the reason why there are only a few people who are interested to invest in it in poor countries. Yes, there are many establishments now adopting crypto and the technology behind crypto also. In this case, many people will probably know about bitcoin because of the usage of it and how you become to gain profit if you are investing in it. Losing popularity is impossible to happen.

I think bitcoin will still show its worth and will cost more than 25,000, but of course how soon it will happen I don’t know, for now I’m just monitoring news and the rates of different coins on neironix
