Bitcoin Forum

So I get it Ok, When this Bitcoin first came on the scene it was blasted. So as I watch what is happening with Bitcoin I have to say there are just people who speak and have No Clue what they are talking about.

The other observation is what I am reading is all past financial executives. They are really just making a fool of themselves.

I will leave with this if the SEC is getting ready to allow Bitcoin for trading this instrument is valid........

The negativity of bitcoin maybe is the the way how people deal with it. There's no problem for the currency but people tend to be rush of everything especially in earning it. The way how it works makes it worthy enough but most cases are the problem from people who hoard a lot for money without thinking of others feelings. As I've noticed,bitcoin are increasing of numbers of people as well as numbers of scammers who give speculations that are not helpful. Sometimes they mention nasty things which are irrelevant and no point of view at all. So if you are loyal,keep your loyalty don't think about the haters they just want to criticize and make fun of us. In ither words,they just don't know how to bring down the name of bitcoin.

Bitcoin needs to find a way to scale! Thats why the community has been arguing for the past 2-3 years... I dont think it has much room to grow if it continues as a 1mb blockchain, only 3 transactions per second is not enough to even scratch the surface of mainstream adoption unfortunately

There is not a major negativity seen of bitcoin its working is positive it’s operations are positive people are getting advantage through this it is not promoting any bad activity in the society I think it’s working is positive as compared to it’s negativity.

For its negative is depends on the earners. Because the negative for is being scammed. If you do dealing with someone you should be aware of the bahavior of scammers. So we better to stay alert avout scammers.

Bitcoin price was growing significantly for more than a year already, so mainstream media started covering it more and more and that made many people in financial world to start voicing their opinion about Bitcoin. There can be many reasons why exactly they are doing it- may they feel that Bitcoin is a threat, maybe they just want to get some attention from the media, maybe they want to try to manipulate the market. But I think that people who seriously consider investing in Bitcoin should form their own opinion by studying Bitcoin themselves instead of listening to others.

i agree, and to add to this maybe a lot of the influential people from the financial world have to be seen to talk negatively about bitcoin while they possibly dont really believe what they are saying

Bitcoin needs more exposure in social media, telly news more advertisement. People can only see the price of Bitcoin which is high and they are afraid to try Bitcoin for a reason that they are already late or if they'll try they might get scammed. Bitcoin needs to take the negative thinking of  a person and for that to be remove Bitcoin needs more Influential people to expose Bitcoin to the World.

Actually to upgrade bitcoin is not difficult. Moreover it needs to be done to ensure the circulation of bitcoin in trade. To do this, the miners and the developers agreed. I don't understand what the problem is to do it. It seems to me that all because of greed. It prevents to make a smart decision which will be acceptable to all.

well we have seen the liked of Mr Dimon of JP Morgan recently
slating Bitcoin and there was speculation that he may in fact
own Bitcoin.

anyway after all the recent negativity against Bitcoin we are
looking at a very healthy price.

That is the resilience of Bitcoin at the moment, negative news
and moves only have a temporary affect.

Since bitcoin is not regulated by any central bank or a single authority so there is a lot of possibilty of fraud.Many of the crypto currency units have been lost by fraud from the people who have stored money in their bitcoin wallet.Its volatile nature also serves a negativity for us.Also the transaction fee which is cut during any transaction or trading.

Just look through the crypto newsletter for the past years and calm down. Cryptocurrencies were always surrounded by negativity, nothing special now.

The negativity that i know around bitcoin is the doubts and fear of the people which is resulting for not trying bitcoin and they are just like watching it from far to see if there will be a bad thing to happen and when that happens then they will just spread it and tell everybody that bitcoin is not an ideal source of income which is making them as a hater of bitcoin.

Security and exchange commission will in future regulate bitcoin and make it and instruments for trading. However, making bitcoin and instruments of trading will undermine it value as a currency.  Bitcoin was not made to be and asset to be regulated by governments or any financial authorities.

The reason why you are receiving less payment from signature campaigns is just as a result of the increase in value. You cannot expect to be paid what you would have normally been paid a year ago in bitcoin to what you will be paid now, The value in USD has increased and that is what you are being paid.
However, even before the existence of bitcoin, fraudulent activities have been happening even in the government parastatals and banking industry which has led to so many huge inflations in the past. You should understand that by now, I presume.
There is what they also call security and even in banks people loose their funds if they are careless, so it is left for everyone to find out how to make their wallets more secured.
Volatility is normal in every currency, even fiats experience the same, although with less volatility and bitcoin is still in its early phase which makes it more volatile and will reduce gradually with more adoption, so everyone should expect that.

Some people that use Bitcoin like to use it while staying anonymous. The ability to stay anon while exchanging something online could bring some shady people.to the scene.

              As much as i agree with you, nowadays there are so many risks involved in bitcoin. The problem is not about bitcoin, but according to what you have said, its all about the people, about how they interact and what are their approach about bitcoin. They tend to really hurry things and want to decide it by their own pace.

Yep. This is just the beginning. Wait till bitcoin is really burning down the banks. They are going to freak out and say all sorts of crazy stuff. It's going to be beautiful.
 ;)

You are right about it. I think bitcoin has a great future. It is promising coin and helps a lot of people on their welfare and financial purpose. It has no big negativity directly. However it depends on what is your dealing condition.

There will be haters no matter what. That's how the world works. Bitcoin is no exception. There are really people out there who have no clue but talk bullshit around bitcoin. FUD, shills are always there. But beware, they are two faced, in front they are talking negative things about bitcoin, but from behind they are secretly buying it.

But as far as SEC, I really don't think that they will allow bitcoin as trading investment simply because the market is based on purely speculation. There are no way the they can give investors 'protection' in case something bad happen to the market. But we can live without the regulation, although it will push bitcoin to the next level, but I don't think its necessary.

What doesn't have a negative feedback. No Matter how good a thing is , there will always be people to criticize it. A small things happens to Bitcoin , all the people start spamming that Bitcoin is dead . So you can't change this thinking and have to accept it and move on

There are several reasons why some people are negative to BTC.Some people just do not understand what is BTC and how it works,for them is it just some internet scam like many others for which they have heard.They have fiat and credit cards and hardly can imagine anything better.

Governments also not like BTC only for reason they can not control them,collect tax or stop money laundering.Also big players better like to make money with fiat,shares,gold or something like that,they know and understand it perfectly.On the other side BTC is something new for them,most of them not like it and they say it is bad,fraud etc.

We also have problem with ransomware which use BTC for ransome.BTC is not guilty for they use it,but it is connected and have bad reputation.Many time media say that BTC is digital money used by criminals.

The negativity around bitcoin is merely traditional. Change is usually fought at its initial stage when it is about to sweep with its wave. People tend not to accept change at the first instance, they feel skeptical and nostalgic.

This is exactly the negative felt by bitcoin. People are traditional and would only know a currency when they can feel it, touch it, probably smell it and exchange it physically. This is why bitcoin has not been generally accepted as legal tender yes.

This is really the reality on the negativity in regards in bitcoins existence which i can really say that they are really dumb only seeing on one side of bitcoin.They dont tend to give it a chance on seeing it on the positive side which is really more helpful to ours than on standing on their own dignity and beliefs but well we cant blame them since bitcoin can really be used on those ways.

Misinformation is a big one when it comes to scepticism towards bitcoin. A lot people still associate bitcoin with hackers and drugs. Which is funny because nearly every dollar bill has had traces of cocaïne on it. The fact that bitcoin is beyond the government is also a factor, people think since it's not endorsed by the government it's not sta to use

Because people always want to spread lies and negative thoughts when they are not aware of what is happening and what is the trend all about, it is a human nature that we always judge fast even though we are not clearly understands the root cause of what really happens. And most of the time people believes what is bad and malicious as long as it is catchy in their minds even though it is not true or no reliable sources supporting that thing.

Because most of this executives knew that their businesses or jobs in the future will affect by Bitcoin's growth in the future, so they will do what they can do to stop it even if they make themselves look stupid.

Those influential people you are talking about apparently know what they are saying and there is just one sentence for them. 'THEY ARE JUST BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES'.

Bitcoin is a threat to most of them and the level of disruption it will cause to the normal wicked and manipulative ways they have been doing things to their own benefit and I am sure no one will expect them not to try their best to push it down the drain. But as we keep understanding this gospel according to satoshi, then the community will keep getting stronger until they realize nothing can be done about it.

I get a feeling that most of negativity comes from the fact that they don't really understand the principles behind the bitcoin. There are also some genuinely negative emotions from some people but you know how it is - like with any other issue in the world - some like it, some don't.

The truth is we cannot expect bitcoin to come to stay without a fight. The blockchain technology is disruptive which kicks again the usual manipulations and control of the government. However, little did they know that bitcoin is just starting and nothing will make it not to survive.

The negativity has been on since inception and there will be more to come and it is normal for a new technology looking at the past history of every technology adoption.

It is up to the user how he uses it and if all these concern are serious to government they can put check and balance upon exchanges so that everything will remain crystal clear, don’t blame bitcoin for its negative use it is like surgeon’s knife which can be used for cutting through as well as for curing peoples. So it is totally up to user and its transactions can be controlled.

You are very right and a lot need to be considered with this options. I still do not know how the LN will end up playing out once segwit2x gets on board but for now, mainstream is not just an option. This however is not the main reason behind the nasty things being said about it except for just some level of hatred which I believe will end up being a thing of the past one day when the whole world realizes it is unstoppable.

I have a feeling that the financial executives are coming out with bold negative statements about Bitcoin to cause a small dip and then they go ahead and purchase that dip. They probably see promise in the coin, so when they have the smallest opportunity to drop the price and come in as whales, they'll do their best to do so.

Bitcoin create an avenue for money laundry most especially from the developing nations to developed world. Men of the under world patronize Bitcoin because most of Bitcoin transactions cannot be traceable easily. 

Skepticism of the future of bitcoin is one reason for the negative criticism around and as rightly said, the executives are the culprit.

The executives fall in the category of the affluent and so, this group of wealthy people I suspect don't like the fact that bitcoin is at the reach of everybody and mostly benefiting the masses to get out of poverty.

Hence, they would do everything to pull this noble currency down but, the good thing is that it is not for them to control or determine, even the miners more-or-less belong to the masses.

There is too much negativity around bitcoin but this is so common nowadays, because without those people bitcoin will never have downsides on the charts.
but i agree with the other user who said that in the moment that banks decide to start the war against bitcoin, it will be the end, because those kind of people are the first who will start to spread FUD about it, and they will make the price go down a lot, if it is not dead..

Technical problems are more important for me. Remember how slow the blockchain transfers and how high the blockchain fees. This two things are making a negativity around bitcoin and its users.

My impressions are, when experts in the media discuss inflation, the economy, healthcare, job markets, minimum wage, gun control, the war on drugs, deficit and taxes. None of those people have the slightest clue what they're talking about on those issues, either.

Legitimate journalism may have died a long time ago. Now all that remains are agenda based propaganda campaigns which serve as mind control, smears and misinformation designed to influence people into supporting the goals of elites moreso than anything else.

Bill Clinton passed the telecommunications act of 1996 which allowed the media to be extremely centralized, owned and operated by a group of centralized private sector entities. After that everything started to go downhill but its only recently that this has become obvious enough for many to realize it.

This is a good example of how the media is heavily centralized and scripted:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2dJxiDkcjA

They're all just trying to manipulate the price or there are just people who want some juicy headlines for the media.
Overall its a very hyped and risky investment that garners a lot of interest.
There are a lot of haters and positive news about btc.

In my opinion, Bitcoin's downside is its volatility and being not legal to most of the countries. Its volatility serves as a risk for its users and investment especially whenever its market value decreases. And its issue with regards to legalization limits the people to use it as a currency or to buy things with it. But in the future, it is possible that it will be legal to most countries and its volatility will be lessen making it highly stable.

People tend to be skeptic when they hear something that has high value. In fact I am one of those people who would have doubts if a certain investment would have a significant increase in value in a short period of time. I would immediately think that maybe it is a scam because I do not know any investment like that before. When I read about it further, I understand that I just immediately conclude without studying it further. I am glad I look into it further or else I might have misses an opportunity of a lifetime.

For those financial executives, they are just afraid they might lose their businesses because digital currencies are threat to them so they decide to team up with government to put down this currency but then it would come back always stronger.

As a matter of fact,
Negative perception towards bitcoin is not rare on cryptocurrency alone it is also present to other investments in stock markets. Why? This is about competition and in that case investors tend to make false/black propaganda towards the opposite side to gain sympathy and attention.

While in bitcoin we do the same, we denied or not we do discredit the banking system eventhough it is real that they’re greedy but this is what negative propaganda. So think about those negativity lightly as we all know how bitcoin works.

Bitcoin has no negativity.Its steadily progressing transforming the lives of many people by providing earning options and providing transactions at very low fee.It indirectly helps for the progress of a nation's economy by providing earning options to unemployed people.

Negativity is only with the people related to banking sectors and some governments like jamie dimon terming bitcoin as a fraud in his tweet and russian president putin terming it s a pyramid scheme.Some big whales too are very much interested in spreading FUD about bitcoin to make its price unstable.

Despite all these negative forces acting against bitcoin,bitcoin always serve as a ray of hope for most of the people.

Everything has some positive and negative aspects or sometimes also everything has a certain type of negativity with it. THe negativity around bitcoin is the use of Bitcoin in criminal offenses and people trying to prove bitcoin is loss or people trying to convince people that Bitcoin is bad or loss due to some of its feature and spreading false negativity.

The negativity of bitcoin maybe is the fee, the more expensive the bitcoin price the higher the fees charged

This individuals are relying on mainstream news that we all know are biased to the bankers as they’re financial sponsors. Those negative comments is more of an organised propaganda to paint bitcoin as a risky and illegal investment but the effect is the opposite. More investors are joining because of curiousity and thanks for they’re effort the spread of bitcoin popularity is much intense this few months because of they’re ignorance.

Yes that is very right i think that only drawy back or negativiy about bitcoin is the transaction free, which restrict pople from small transactions. I think that the transation fee should be reasonable so that people can easily start using bitocin evern for small transation which is very much important for purchasing daily use items online are even in their offline shops where the shopskeeper are accepting bitcoin.

In fact there is no restreiction over exchanges to bound them not to increase the transaction fee according to their own wishes, I think there should be a crypto exchanges regularity authority, who should control the exchanges for different acts, they should not be allowed to increase by themselves, but there should be a proper procedure through which they will be allowed to increase the transaction fee.

All the negative perception about bitcoins is all due to the fact those spreading FUD about bitcoin is that they are afraid of bitcoins, Jamie Dimon for instance is so intimidated that he speaks badly about bitcoins every single week and now we are fed up listening to his jibber jaber now.

There will continue to be negativity around Bitcoin because most people don't like change. Especially when it goes against everything they know, that's when it really hurts.

There are people that don't understand Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies that will point out negatives such as it is not backed by a government or by gold so it is worthless. The problem with that assessment is that the mining process takes a lot of work and energy so there is lots of money and time put into mining.

Also consider that banks and other financial businesses need to make a profit and want to put down their competitors. They feel threatened by something new and innovative and will try to make it fail. Governments also fear a decentralized currency that they don't control and don't collect taxes on. They are just trying to figure out how to handle all of this and how to have some control over it.

Its because the usage of bitcoin when it hit popular news in early 2014 was restricted majorly to the silk road and such sites. It was only after that a lot of vendors started accepting it. Because of its anonymity and ease of transactions, it had become the currency of choice for antisocial elements, and governments still fear that even today.
Plus when anyone from these kind of sites is arrested, they generally confess to the police that they were received their payments in bitcoin. That gets in the news and creates this bad rap.

The negativity around Bitcoin will always be there because the majority of people on earth right now have their savings invested into FIAT money so obviously they're going to be salty.

The negativity around bitcoin is just to make the other people feel the same and when they feel the same then they will not be faithful for bitcoin and they will surely adopt the negativity that they have in bitcoin and they will just sell or they will just start thinking negative things about bitcoin that will result for bad thoughts and then they will become hater.

It's all about an individuals perception. Bitcoin has great potential, and will be an important part of economies in the near future. Those who do have a negative outlook will regret it when they could've invested into Bitcoin and earn higher profits in a short period of time. Once it becomes popular the negativity will start to diminish.

You will hardly find anything which does not have any disadvantage. Bitcoin has so many advantages and it is the best thing one can ever have in his life. There are certain disadvantages of bitcoin as well. Like you said, transaction fee and transaction process is something which is causing a lot of troubles at present. I am hopeful that these issues will be resolved in the near future.

Yes bitcoin is real threat to the banking system because when one has bitcoin he doesn’t have need to invest into the banks to earn profit, banks are thinking to accept bitcoin because they know the fact that now whole world is demanding some digital currency and bitcoin is the best option one can use it everywhere and if their system got implement then there will be ease for the bankers to continue their business.

You cannot say that it is the fault of bitcoin that it was illegally used bitcoin has no role in that it totally depend on the user how he use it and if some of the culprit use it for the illegal transactions curse that person not the bitcoin, now system upgradation is under process so that databases will be maintained about each and every transaction to trace the illegal activities through it.

Work going into mining isn't what gives bitcoin value. Value is determined where supply and demand meet. Mining creates bitcoins, but it doesn't directly create the value, and there's no relationship between the amount of money you put into mining and the value of btc.  It just so happens that so much money is put into mining because bitcoin is expensive and it drives people to mine, not the other way around.

As for taxes, whether USD or bitcoin, the government's power to tax is the same. You can't avoid taxes just by switching the bitcoin.

Maybe the negativity of bitcoin is how the human being used it. Negativity will appear if you surpass the proper right of using a certain thing if you used it in an evil way then there is a negativity and as of now I see nothing is negative in bitcoin because all of us using it properly because we get something on it that is why continually using it properly. Scam maybe one but it was bizarre now a days in bitcoin world because somehow many people tighten their security when it comes to bitcoin.

Every new phenomenon comes under barrage of attacks and criticism before it would be accepted or rejected as the case may be. It all boils down to the level of information that was available sequel to the emergence of Bitcoin. It is a known fact that Bitcoin has been used on the dark web for a whole lot of illegal transactions from Drugs to money laundering. These are major dents on the cryptocurrency. However, I believe that with little regulation and a serious structure of monitoring, Bitcoin would be seen in a very good light

For me, there's no negative sides or bad sign inside bitcoin. It comes to a good way wherein all people are very excited and well productive in the sense that it is about money, so they need to be responsible and become aggressive in anything that may happen.

Actually the negative thought of bitcoins surrounds it legality or of its legal basis and also its volatility of its value.  The sudden rise and down makes it so scary that people became so skeptic to invest.

As now bitcoin is gaining popularity through media channels publicising it's value to the audience. The big financial experts or so called financial traders are making their judgements about btc and spreading news among masses that its just a bubble and you might get scammed so be away from it.They are only doing this because of the fear they are feeling because they cannot compete with bitcoin and think that they might losse their imporatance. So there are negative news always or criticism when something people are not part of it but cannot do any harm to it.

This is just a normal thing to all great investments, people will say anything negative just to scare people in order for them to get the trust of people and say that what they are offering is the best thing that they could possibly have. You can see from the bankers, they do not agree of the idea of decentralized currency, simply because it will destroy them, people might turn away from Fiat, which is what they have and then in turn, they will have no livelihood, however for investors, it is dependent on the generation they are in, there are only few baby boomers who trust in Bitcoin, because it is a new thing and they gained profit from the stock market, however for the Gen x and millennials, they have a different experience, since they have been born, when the stock is already high, they cannot say the same, but if they invested on Bitcoin way back 2009, the story will be different.

With all the negativity around we just need to focus on what we are doing, let's simply put it this way, they have their own business we have ours, it is much better to mind our business than others.

People are hostile to the novelty because it forces them to leave the comfort zone. After a while they will not imagine their lives without cryptocurrency

Either those who make comments about bitcoin in the media really don't know about bitcoin or they just want to criticize bitcoin out of frustration since bitcoin has become the worst competitor to their financial firms.Some term it as a bubble while some other term it as a fraud while some say it as a pyramid scheme.Let them hang over their own opinions.we should do our personal analysis and decide what to do about whether to benefit from this magnificent technology or just to miss the train.

To be honest, I do believe that Bitcoin is still new and not everyone is aware of this technology and when it comes to the world's perception, it keeps changing every second. There is a huge number of scammers who are using Bitcoin to scam people (usually those who never heard about Bitcoin and they have absolutely no idea of how it works), we can deny the fact that people blame Bitcoin for such scams and thus it creates a negative atmosphere about Bitcoin around those victims. However, I believe that over the time with an increase in the awareness about Bitcoin and this technology, we won't face such issue. Just take an example of the email jackpot scam, now almost everyone is aware of it and the same thing is going to happen with Bitcoin in the coming years.

The negativity about bitcoin are those people who want to have instant money scammers and hackers were everywhere so everyone must stay alert to be more responsible on their investments,take a lot of care on adresses where you store your bitcoins.Even in this forum there were also scammers giving task to open and sign in on the link that they provide and promise to pay BTC or $ but after following every instruction that they gave looking at their profile it was offline for several days,checking on accounts or adresses no one ever deposits,so thats taking advantage on others who wanted to earn so we must keep an eye to that.

I think the problem lye in the bitcoin legality from country to country and within the different financial institute. Some of them agree to the bitcoin as it is while some of them are not getting it what it is exactly and how to call it currency/asset and much more.


The thing is most of the community is not accepting to bitcoin yet because they see it as rival into their house of card and it could be disaster in the future times. So its better to start trading it in that way and try to create a negativity around it.

The main source of this negativity is that people want to be "in" with bitcoin that they just want to jump right in without any knowledge about it. But they do know that they will be earning big. So they blindedly go with it just because of  "everybody is doing it" mindset without fully understanding what they're getting themselves into. So if they lose even small amount of money, they will already think that they have been scammed.

Those is always been part on which there are people who do really act as cry babies when they lose up money because it did break their expectations to make big money on bitcoin which they would make their false claims that it is a scam on which those people who havent heard about bitcoin and hear off those false informations would really cause a negative impact on bitcoins adoption.This negativity would really remain specially some of media do make false advertisement about bitcoin because government told them so.

Not to make your statement wrong or something. But what common news I see about interviews with CEOs and Financial Analyst is that they always give a fair comment about Bitcoin and how they are rather be on the safe side and state the reason why they are staying away with Bitcoin. We don't need to be pissed about them as they have their own comments about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Words like "Bitcoin is a Bubble" or "It does not have any fair market value" are true statements made by a real financial expert.

It seems to me that the government have nothing to do with. They are just pawns. The world is ruled by money. There is a well established banking system which has an effect on every person. Any President is no exception because he needs money. Government car bulky and not agile. It seems to me that bankers are the main cause of the proliferation of fakes on bitcoin. They feel their lack of competitiveness compared to bitcoin and therefore will do everything to destroy it.

Negativity around bitcoin is just normal because if there is no negativity then there will be no volatility for the price of bitcoin because those negativities are the reason why the price of bitcoin is moving upside down and that is why i love negativities that is around bitcoin because i can make money with it.

You have a point there, when we know bitcoin from the start the fluctuation is there yes the negativity is normal. We should accept the fact, the negativity issues lift up to bitcoin to continues its increasing of price.

What negativity are you talking about?

I think a lot of people are wondering why fees are so high and if they will ever be reduced and how long that that will take. This is a legitimate concern because people are choosing to use other coins instead of Bitcoin as it is becoming way too expensive to send small transactions compared to altcoins which can often be sent for free therefore if there is any negativity, it is probably for this reason.

Yeah you are right the bitcoin does not have any negative or the bad side because the bitcoin is being support by a lot of the people it is the need of the day that the bitcoin will help the people now, almost all the people are now having the bitcoin and it is the reason why I am investing, for me the bitcoin is not having any bad side because now it is the new age and the bitcoin is the high currency.

The bitcoin having no negative point because so many people like the bitcoin so there is positive point is there so this need responsible and became anything can happen in this , mostly all of people having bitcoin because who have invested in this so I'm having good thought about this so i investing in this and rate also very high so profit also very high .

Volatility is based on the market and at times sudden volatility happens due to the negative statements getting revealed from core people who has the potential to manipulate. Other than this, most of the users could gave known bitcoin as something full of negativity. Only on experimenting understood all the good associated with it. Negativity is common and that doesn't gonna make a big change until the user base have trust.

The SEC has allowed it. In the Chicago Mercantile Exchange from what I heard has allowed the trading of btc futures. But not sure if they allow the purchase of stocks for btc. Probably a long shot. For now most likely european countries or Japan would be the first to allow that. The negativity though comes more from the fact that it is just too complicated for them to understand. They do not understand how it can have an entire market of its own and how the price suddenly shot up. See what these people are always wary of are what you call bubbles. That is when something keep on growing at a fast pace only to burst along the way. They fail to understand though that there is a community that supports this and it really is just a necessary means of exchange now in our world because a huge part of the world's population wants their activities private even from the government. Why bring this up? Because I think the people who gave btc such value are mostly people trying to launder money or operate in a way that the government does not like. Just an opinion, and that is also why a lot of negativity is surrounding btc.

Yes there are many people who likes bitcoin that's why it continues spreading as well as the price continues to be increasing. Bitcoin becomes a positive point for everyone because it can provide a good profit for everyone and it is easy to reach and use it for their own wants.

The fluctuating process that has a bad side and also a good side it benefits us through the enitre year because of the markets value increases all the time and also gets us at stress if bitcoin has its issues about the users or a regulating country in the process.

Bitcoin as succeeded when lots of people thought it could crash in its early days but its proved its critics wrong and its been online for a long time now and unregulated and decentralized...people have every right to be jealous because this is something special that most companies today wish could have...the backing of the people /world...this is something big and unimaginable.

If yuo were financial executive You would also said that bitcoin is bad, so don't be surprised that fact.
If something is new, growing etc. it always have a lot of enamies it is common case. For sure bitcoin bring hugde risk like other currenceies but maybe not. Currently we can only speculate on currencies.

Honestly i don't find any negativity there.May be the negativity is in the use of it.Otherwise there's no negativity.

This negativity is very important for the bitcoin project to do its very best to fix some of the hindrance of information to the public and fix some issue we as bitcoiners experiencing every transactions

I don't find anything negative with the bitcoin. Things might go worse when the user intends to use it for negative purposes. Users who truly believe in bitcoin will overcome the negativity of the same with ease. Bitcoin is all about trust, and completely unpredictable. We the users are responsible to make things takes place with positivity.

Indeed, some people look at bitcoin negatively in whatever reasons they have which we cannot control since its their personal choice to hate or react negatively about bitcoin. Personally I don't mind those negative thinking people or any negative "things" right now.

Nobody really gives a shit to what SEC thinks or reacts over Bitcoins. But there are some more real concerns that are needed to resolved and yeah, they should not be considered negativity but concerns. Transaction fees and time per transaction getting accepted in a block have now become some major matters over which this SEC thing isn't worth anything if compared to look upon.

At this point, most users are heavily invested in altcoins, so it's not in their best interest to pump Bitcoin. However, at the end of the day, the winner is the one who has the best technology.

We knew that bitcoin is really great and it truly gives us a new beginning, but it seems also that there is a negative effect on us. Mostly it happens that, many are quitting their jobs just for this. Because as they have observed that, the amount of money of what they've got from bitcoin is very far from their previous jobs salary and which is really true. With this, it possible to lessen the numbers of employee for day jobs.

In my opinion, cryptocurrency hasn't formally established its identity here in the Philippines. By formally I mean that it doesn't have a strong foundation or structure for an identifier for people to get to know that is why they quickly assume and establish something negative pertaining to cryptocurrencies particularly Bitcoin. Don't get me wrong, it's not Bitcoin's fault; but the fault of people who tend to believe everything they negatively hear about it and not even bother to do their own research to prove what they just knew. Just recently a man who claims himself to be an expert went viral stating how Bitcoin is a scam. This man was known for posting a huge billboard to declare his love for someone; but he himself is also associated with other scam propaganda. Despite being an unreliable person, most people would actually watch him and consider what he is saying of how Bitcoin is a joke. It's quite disappointing how gullible people can be nowadays.

People consider btc to be a get rich quick scheme so they treat it as in terms of gambling or something like that. Btc requires knowledge to trade with, you need the skills to be able to successfully earn with it, so it's just best to ignore haters.

A Lot has been said about Bitcoin and how it has been used for illegal activities including drugs and money laundering. This has given the cryptocurrency a very bad name. That fact that it is unregulated again gives them a reasonable cause for concern. However, it is now clear that Bitcoin has gain more ground and popularity lately and the awareness is even more as many societies and individuals are now tapping into the trend

I think the big negativity of bitcoin is that it has no physical shape and I’m using bitcoin since from  last six years which is very disappointing for me that I’m using it but still I did not see that how it  look like that’s why some people that don’t trust on me that who you are using it when you did not see bitcoin but it’s a different thing I know how it work and how it’s going to help me bitcoin is such a currency which is good in use and every one want to see .

The negativity is a huge factor in here, i dont know why everybody is complaining and trying to spread massive fud in here, and the same is happening in reddit right now.
I dont know why it is happening, bitcoin is still high, and you all are complaining for bullshit.
just take a look on reddit, it is the same.

Well it is true bitcoin does not have any negative thing but mate good and bad does exist everywhere if we cannot see then it does not means it is not there. Bitcoin is good but some people says that it is being use by everyone and even some bad people are using bitcoin but I am not saying bitcoin Is bad. Bitcoin has no big negativity but if it will be regular then no one will use bitcoin for negative reason.

One of negativity around bitcoin is that the transaction fee when you send bitcoin is so big and also take too long to receive. 

As much as I concur with you, these days there are such a significant number of dangers engaged with bitcoin. The issue isn't about bitcoin, yet as indicated by what you have stated, its about the general population, about how they collaborate and what are their approach about bitcoin. They have a tendency to truly rush things and need to choose it by their own pace.

the negativity on this is they make bitcoin as a huge business and some of them makes it as an opportunity to make the taxes huge. i see that every trade and exchange i made. there is a huge taxes that comes

Certainly around Bitcoin spreads some negative. And in this there is nothing terrible. Only time will show who is right friends Bitcoin or his enemies.

In the present time bitcoin is the best in all the digital currencies, many other currencies are trying to replace bitcoin but they even can’t compete with it. The properties and benefits are unlimited but I think there are a very few of its drawbacks. One is that it is not recognized by the entire world till now but soon it will be recognized and secondly that it user can’t touch it because it is a digital currency and it’s not a big deal I think.

That has really posed to be something negative and I really hope this gets solves anytime soon as I cannot imagine this transaction issue going on and people not finding another real solution.

Yes, we may say bitcoin may end up being classified more as an asset than a currency but that does not mean that it should not end up more useful as a currency which it was made for in the first place. The transaction will keep causing more issue in the long run if it is not rectified.

The negative characteristic of bitcoins are its transaction fee is so high.Also if bitcoins are pumping to its high value then other alternative currencies prices are going too low.So better watch value of bitcoins for now before doing something.

It is normal for people to spread negativity, most especially when something is new. It has been happening in the past and it will keep being the same or even the more.
I still believe though that, no matter the level of negativity, it would really not pose any much danger for the market as a whole as we all know that this is not the first time negativity is being spread and it would also not be the last, but for now, we just keep our fingers crossed and see how even turns out.

the negativity around bitcoin was caused by some people who are taking advantage of it and scamming others.in every business there will always be a negative side. you need to get used to it. no matter how perfect the company or the business is, there's always someone who will always stab you in the back. just like in bitcoin, we can't please everybody. Maybe some of Us here has been scammed already that's why they're taking it back against bitcoin. it's always in the mind set of the one who uses it.

Yes, some media also contributed to the negativity of bitcoin especially during the recent dip or correction  I read an article by BBC where the crashed price of bitcoin was shown in a bad light so as to send wrong signals to  potential investors, those kind of articles are circulated globally which I  believed is major setback in the world of cryptocurrencies.

I believe that the negative towards bitcoin is due to ignorance and ignorance.

Currently, Bitcoin is showing a lot of disadvantages because the limit of Bitcoin is only 21 million coins show that the exchange rate of Bitcoin always increase and decrease abnormally. The second is that the charge between each Bitcoin transaction is very high, which is why not many people are interested in Bitcoin trading as before. Bitcoin needs to find a way for itself, expanding the scale of the currency further to attract investors in the future. Otherwise, Ethereum will replace Bitcoin in the next 10 years.

Bitcoin's 21 million coin cap isn't the reason of the fluctuations we experience, that solely is coming from the lack of actual liquidity, and due to its speculative nature. In reality there aren't really 21 million coins, but more like 21 million times 100,000,000 satoshis. Satoshis are the actual nominations, and for that reason can't be divided into smaller fractions. BTC can be divided into smaller fractions. mBTC can be divided into smaller fractions. Bits can be divided into smaller fractions. The only thing I agree with is that the transaction fees are too high, but with more SegWit adoption the fees should decrease much further.

The negativity is the people on the bank industry accusing it as a fraud and throwing a lot of drug and laundering issues that they are not aware that it happens a lot in fiat.

I think that it is fairly notmal for people to approach bitcoin with a certain sense of negativity and caution because it is new and a lot of people don’t know anything about it. For them its something that we need to educate them to about before they accept it gracefully

The only negativity that I see in bitcoin is probably the fact that it relies too much on the internet. I fear that one day the internet would be down globally and I would be encountering an event where I need to spend, but since bitcoin is not accessible it would be impossible for me to do so.

There is no way we should never expect a rush as some people nowadays are busy looking for the easy way out and that is a bad thing.

On the other hand, there is also a good side to it, as I have seen a lot of people who did rush but eventually got to understand how the whole crypto system works. We cannot discard the fact that some people are too lazy to study, but as long as they feel things are going to be right in the long run, they will surely keep coming.

The negativity about Bitcoin comes mostly from that they do not know how it works or put any effort into it to learn about it. They do not know how it gets transacted, so when it takes a lot of time for it to complete, as in becoming unconfirmed transaction, they yell this is crap what a dumb mechanism etc. This is also the reason why Bitcoin is not realistic for micro transactions, alt coins are best for this. Bitcoin and crypto is still in its early stages so in a few years most webshops etc will have chosen one or more alt coins as a payment form and it will grow from there.

negativity is well deserved in the last six months. Transaction fees getting enormous (push small players out of the race). Also anonymity was always a concern with bitcoin, people switch to alts whose main purpose is to secure anonymity. Another impact is energy consumption (wasting too much of resources to produce> WHAT. because we only need water, air, food...

Never mind what other people are saying about bitcoin. Negative people always have something negative to attach to good things. Though, bitcoin recently has some transaction issues such as paying high transaction fee and experiencing slow network transactions, but soon the lightning network will solve these problems. The lightning network is about to change and speed up the bitcoin transaction speed with zero transaction fee. :)

Negativity is a big part of human nature, so don't lose your time with negative people, moreover usually they are completely ignorant in the field and just repeat some useless slogan. Focus on profit and forget blamers :-)

Talking about the weakness of Bitcoin, the current currency has many limitations that if the future does not improve then other altcoins will replace. At present Bitcoin has many disadvantages, first is the fee per transaction is higher than before, the time between each transaction is very long, sometimes up to 2 days. People are more inclined to invest in altcoin than bitcoin due to the altcoin's ability to overcome many limitations of Bitcoin. But I still hope the future of the currency will be Bitcoin.

The negativity around bitcoin are many people afraid to use and access bitcoin. Many people doubt on what bitcoin really is. But for me, as a bitcoiner im not thingking the negative effect of bitcoin but my purpose is to earn bitcoin and focus myself to become rich someday by accessing bitcoin all the time.

The negativity that I see around bitcoin people are not trusting any one because they afraid that maybe become a victim of scam because some people they think bitcoin is a form of scam. All of us want to have a better life by the help of bitcoin but the problem is all of us become greed but we cannot blame our selves because that is the effect if we want to achieves our goals in life.

In my opinion, negativity avout bitcoin is the people who doubt bitcoin is, peoole who afraid to invest in bitcoin because they think bitcoin is a scam. but for me, im willing to risk to earned to have a better life that i can give to my family.

That is the negative thing about Bitcoin. We all know that there is still many people that doesn't have a knowledge about bitcoin. And it is up-to-date to us to inform other people for the opportunity bitcoin could give to us in the field of investments and transactions. And we should always introduce the risk that may take as a normal denominator on all form of investments and business.

Taxation is something we cannot run from and most especially as the exchanges are monitored and as people keep seeing the essence of making use of conversion to fiat. I would not see that as negativity though, but something we all know that the government would not want to take their eyes away from while seeing it as a great opportunity to benefit from the new technology as well as the craze keeps going on.

There can be 1000s of negative aspects around bitcoin ecosystem but the potential and hype of it, will definitely overcome them. Yes, over the time periods people will find some solutions to each and every negative things then the growth for bitcoin will happen naturally.

it is possible in this case to call the entire situation a negative and wrong person's thinking, But how can we explain the fact that many Bitcoin users are very unhappy with the duration and price of transactions? if we take into account that people earn bitcoins in very limited quantities, then the transaction price for them is very tangible.

The negative part about bitcoin is how unpredictable other investors are. The price fluctuation happens when customers sell out at an unexpected time. Unlike other ways of saving money, there is always a risk in investing.

aside from that, they are the people who are close minded, maybe because they are lack of knowledge about bitcoin that why they are afraid to invest in bitcoin. but if their going to give their self a change to make a research about bitcoin maybe it will change their mind and also it will removed all the negativity and  hesitation in their mind. another is, the person who introduce bitcoin didn't explain well, maybe you can show some proof receipts that you really earn so that they will believed  in you.

In my own insights there is no negativity around bitcoin, the negative thoughts are came from the people who don't have enough knowledge about bitcoin but they already judge its capability in the cryptoworld. It is how people look at it and deal with it but all I can say is try to understand,  analyze and dig its meaning and value you will see the hidden wealth and success on it.

Bitcoins availability and bannings on some countries threatens the investors and users.That part creates a big negativity on how the people see bitcoins.But if once that they have overcome it, the price also comes over as a negativity.For its unstable rate, some investors pull out there investments.But the price doesnt always fall down, there were also times that it grows high.

Don't know about any negativity as I am a newbie. pls make me aware

You know who are the people who spread negative news bitcoins. These are the people who have not invested in bitcoins and are jealous of the success that others were able to achieve with bitcoin investment. The main problem is that these people do not make any attempt to know about bitcoins like how it works, how the idea originated and how it has changed the online payment scenario. Some people are also affected by the negative news spread by the media regarding bitcoins.

I totally agree that most of the mainstream people who speak about Bitcoin have No Clue what they are talking about. However, the negativity is most likely an applied strategy, it is spread out intentionally to pursue an agenda we can only imagine about.

Since the issue of regulation is still yet to be accomplish by different government that care to accept bitcoin and altcoins as a means exchange for goods and services

The negativity is not around btc it is around the people regarding usage of it

One negativity of bitcoin is how people think of it if they believe or not because some of issues that have btc they know that everything in btc will imposible so the growth of btc in market is volatile and now people repent and all they think was change.

Bitcoin is like a scam. This is bitcoin negativity in the universe. This is the very reason why people doesn't believe to bitcoin. If we observe the flow of peoples ideas toward bitcoin they will probably says what is bitcoin and really?

The currency has no problem. The negative impact of bitcoin may be the way people treat it.

No matter how good things are, someone will criticize it.

Truly its negative because the whole of bitcoin ecosystem system is emerged in dark business and so its better to keep out of it

I love btcs. it has made me financially strong and able. Don't know about others

Bitcoin for me is not have negative, but for some people bitcoin is scams, some of people still don't believe bitcoin, etc.
But if you can see the truth bitcoin is great investment you can invest and believe in your future. You can analysis bitcoin by years, increase more and more, more profit do you have, and many more.

The negative impact of btc are brought by media of is ofcourse targeting btc to its downfall. It is a black propaganda by other company to pull down bitcoin from its current standing.

There are some negativity around bitcoin which is fear for all the negative news of others,influence of people that they might get into scammers so they wont try to experience bitcoin because they are afraid for their negativity.

As much as I agree with you, nowadays there are such a noteworthy number of threats drew in with bitcoin. The issue isn't about bitcoin, yet as shown by what you have expressed, its about the all inclusive community, about how they team up and what are their approach about bitcoin. They tend to really surge things and need to pick it by their own pace.

There are people who keep on talking such things as they don’t know much about bitcoin and other crypto currencies. You can’t force them to stay quiet or anything like that as everyone has got a right to share his point of view.

The only way to change their thinking is to make them aware of these things in a detailed way so that they can actually know who things work there and that it’s not what they think of.

Honestly it's the price of transactions. The network was touted as eroding high fees from "greedy banks" and yet it now has higher fees than those banks. Also lightning network is an opt-in system. It requires both Alice and Bob to have LN enabled accounts. If one doesn't, it won't work.

The negativity actually revolves from the people whom have really no idea how the Bitcoin system works. Most ignorant or those who don't even bother to know the history or value of Bitcoin thinks that it is no more than just like a "fake currency". But looking back from the economical upscale of the currency we can see that Bitcoin is continually expanding and even being adopted by business individuals.

Most of the people arguing over btc existence has no idea what a btc can do or what's its positivity

The nehativity of btcs is that its too volatile to be relied upon. People can rely upon it using their investments

Bitcoins are not widely accepted, Bitcoins are still accepted only in a small group of online merchants, This makes it unfeasible to completely rely on bitcoins as a currency, There is also possibility that government might force merchants to not use bitcoins to ensure that users transactions can be tracked,

The bitcoin covers a major percentage of positive things than a negativity. The negative percentage is low when to compared to its benefits and profits which are gainned by the people. The only negativity i feel is one of the people where they spread the news which are more developed in a negative manner. Its all up to pessimist person.

From the very day I'm on this economy I didn't find any negativity. I don't know why people criticise bitcoins without proof?

The bitcoins, however good, is full of ponzi and scams. people fear to access such a vulnerable wallet to keep their investmentss

One of the negativity is that people do not have much information and past technical analysis about Bitcoin as it is new kind of technology. Another one is that Bitcoin is virtual currency like non-physical or not tangible , you dont actually have it like hot cash. Next one is its fluctuating value that changes everyday especially related to many economic news, bans and others. And for last, in my opinion, it can eliminate banking system and create unemployment in the future.

 You can not blame people when ig comes to negativity effect of bitcoint the fact that it is norman for every uprising star in industry of trading far from tradition.. scammed is one of the negative news wide spread that hindering Bitcoin ..but whether negative or positive bitcoint will continue to soar high!

The percentage of the negativity only goes up when there are FUDs and bad movement of the market but overall, the negativity is not that important in bitcoin because the development and also the demand in bitcoin is keep on improving so we don't need to worry for the negativity because it is just temporary and soon it will disappear if bitcoin gets a lot of good news.

Bitcoins are taxfree currencies and so they help the terrorists and criminal to trade easily with dark net.

The legality of Bitcoin in one country. Let's say I earned a lot from bitcoin and found a hidden wealth, after working hardly and patiently waiting, by joining in the campaign like this, creating signature designs to use for a campaign. How can I convert it all into cash without any suspicious reactions from the bank  I use to transact my transfer and withdrawals? And because it is not yet legal, no taxes to be paid for every money I received, I believe it is a negativity you are asking for.

As much as I trust you, today there area unit such an interesting variety of threats role player in with bitcoin. the difficulty is not regarding bitcoin, however as shown by what you've got expressed, its regarding the all comprehensive community, regarding however they group and what area unit their approach regarding bitcoin. they have a tendency to essentially surge things and want to choose it by their own pace.

In my own opinion, the problem maybe is the way people think about bitcoin as a life saver and they thought it's all about increasing the value of Bitcoin to a easy money. So when the price started to go down, they are now panic to sell their coins.

In every situation it may be perfectly done or not there is always negative feedback heard. In bitcoin we can say negative when there is changes in there directions, procedure and process without informing the people about it.

Thats true, people who dont have any idea to this platform was the ones who talk about it with full of negative words and I cant see this thing will be a good idea for us to believe. Negativity will never help us, people in social media says that Bitcoin is a total crap which fool people to invest and get nothing in return but the huge fact is , its not and I laugh inside on my head for the thoughts they give.

I think for the lack of party that accepting bitcoin is not a negative thing of bitcoin because bitcoin development requires a long process. to be able to receive legalization or acceptance in many places is not an easy thing to achieve in a short time. as time goes by, Im sure more and more stores will receive bitcoin, so be patient
