My opinion is that in time Bitcoin market share will keep reducing, as many other coins and tokens and platforms will keep surging.

In the long term, the blockchain technology is very disruptive. Bitcoin will more likely compete with Gold, Ethereum will provide a backbone for many uses.

So I am not really sure a collapse is incoming, it depends if a real bubble will quickly form.

translation: "I think bitcoin will collapse because billions of shitcoins are being created and then pumped."

and you are wrong, just because a lot of shitcoins are being created each with billions of useless tokens as their supply and then they are pumped it doesn't mean bitcoin will be affected at all. what you are calling the "market share" is a fake illusion that you are creating for yourself based on a false attribute called "market cap". it doesn't mean anything at all. it just shows how many shitcoins are out there.
there is 17 million bitcoin versions 1,000,000 billion shitcoins in circulation which is growing every day.

bitcoin and gold are not in the same race to compete with each other.

ethereum used to provide only one thing and that was smart contracts. now bitcoin also has that in a much better way and that makes ethereum obsolete...

I just observe that every time there is a price down trend many posts or subject for posting are saying and asking the same line as this " Is bitcoin going to collapse?" well people needs to understand that since the beggining of bitcoin up to now it has been struggling in the past 9 years but it stayed and dominated. If in time it will collapse then i think it will take a life time to do so. With the advent of technology and the impact of block chain it will continue to evolve into a more better platform to serve nations and people. This price down trend is just normal, we had lower price in the market than this february this year was 6k infact. We have to remember that bitcoin started out to be of no value in the market but it has proven its worth and now against all those negative propaganda it continues to dominate in the cryptocurrency industry and it will continue to become better.

i could see bitcoin dominance continuing to trend downwards over the long term. the proliferation of new shitcoins adds to that effect, and market cap is inherently misleading for crypto. i could also see bitcoin remaining #1 forever (and i believe it will). those scenarios aren't mutually exclusive. ;)

anyway, why do you think ETH will have such great utility, but BTC won't? the time of BTC smart contracts, LN and sidechains is upon us. the time for ETH hyping seems long over....


no? if bitcoins are a store of value, then i suppose they are.

Are they really? I think gold and btc got many similarities. The most notable similarity gold got from btc is that their supplies are both obtained in mining and is limited in numbers. In due time bitcoin will/might also be used as a medium of storing value, and by that time it will compete with gold.Don't mind them because most of those who ask that question are total newbies in crypto space that have invested in btc because of the get rich quick hype that was started when bitcoin have drastically risen from 1000$ to unimaginable prices now or users who intends to spread FUD.

Bitcoin is marketcap is continuously down so you are confused in Crypto market. The real reason is some illuminaties are creating the negative rumours in Bitcoin so many peoples are drop the investment at the same time some new projects are suddenly huge pump in the market so some big whales also involve in the current gradient but everything is recover soon now we should hold for our investment.

You are wrong in thinking, you do not see all the components that exist at this time. It should be with these circumstances that bitcoin market can grow very well. Bitcoin still gets the support and trust that many of the various components of society.

Think that Bitcoin is a necessity and I'm sure everyone thinks that way.

"Bitcoin has died 294 times"

According to this wonderful "Bitcoin obituaries" page:

https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/

Bookmark it; it's absolutely lovely.

I will say the opposite will happen. In 5 years or so the majority will have realized that Blockchain itself isn't the cure for every problem companies are facing today.
Altcoins exist since 2011. And so far none of them have delivered anything. Ethereum, around since 2015, is just a platform for scammy ICOs and crypto kiddies. And the hype was HUGE!!!
Imo this will be like a "the winner takes it all" situation. With lightning network, Bitcoin will be cheap, fast and much more private. Smart contracts are possible too.
Of course Bitcoin can not and will not be used for all. And that'S fine. But right now, 95% of the altcoins are pure vaporware and scams. Therefore I'm sure Bitcoin's market share and dominance will increase again.
I mean look how altcoins from 2013 are performing now, if they're still around!

No not it is not even possible because there are so many market that exist in the digital world. I am currently buying more bitcoins today because i knew that one of these days it will increase again rise up for all investors and will say that you regret selling me. Bitcoin has so many backers I guess.

the bitcoin market is unlikely to collapse, man. as far as i know that could make the market collapse is like, regulators tightened, concerns that tightening the regulator will bring a negative impact and will encourage a massive selling action continues to occur. Correction can also cause it to happen, CEO of Cryptocurrency-wallet eido, Thomas Farms says that the biggest factor that will make the market collapse is overheat and most obviously is expecting a lot on votatility.
but I do not think the bitcoin market is likely to collapse if there are still many traders and investors using it.

a couple of weeks ago i saw another one of these screenshots of the old days with the same list of "TOP10" coins but with the different coins from a different time. and the interesting thing that can be seen from these types of historical changes in the list is that at each of these specific times there has been a coin among them to claim to take over bitcoin and they stayed in top10 for a while and then evaporated eventually as they could no longer stand the dumps...

No Bitcoin isn't going to collapse like ever. There are many many people mining bitcoin everday and its just gains value by that way. Also its code has proved to be secure. There are no reasons for it to die completely.

Bitcoin is going nowhere, it’s here for the long term. It’s the most trustworthy, mature & respected crypto currency. All the others are just fighting for 2nd place at the moment.

People just need to accept that Bitcoin won't be going anywhere, and that altcoins don't even remotely form a threat. Eventually when the ICO and quick gain hype dies off, all this nonsense will end and their market caps will deflate to absolute bottom levels. All that capital belongs in Bitcoin and not in whatever random trash coin or token not doing anything. It all comes down to how immature the overall market is, and that will definitely change.

Once all these knuckleheads sold their coins to smart parties the game will change. It's already happening, which clearly shows how massive the gap between small holders and large holders has become, especially after the massive correction. Result in the end is that the elite holds 99% of the coins and the stupid 1%. Keep selling and you will all see how things evolve. :D

I think there is not enough name recognition for altcoins to dominate this year, but maybe next year Ethereum or some centralized crypto from Wallstreet or Facebook will start to dominate the market by offering widespread infrastructure for retail merchants.

we are getting closer to that day when majority of people realize that they should not use market cap for comparison and saying things like "market share" and "dominance" where they should really say "market cap" is silly. and hopefully we can soon see a new thing replace market cap which actually represents value of a cryptocurrency and by then you can clearly see how the real ranking goes. and we stop seeing silly topics like this pop up :D

I think for now it is hard to predict if bitcoin will be going to collapse because bitcoin is unpredictable.
Honestly, altcoin helps bitcoin a lot because they are promoting their project but they are accepting bitcoin as payment that is why investors keep buying bitcoin then invest in altcoin that is why the price of bitcoin is kept increasing.

i agree with you mate..it is a vice versa relationship.Investors use bitcoin to buy altcoins so some of altcoins price goes up because of the demands and at the same time bitcoin price goes up too because investors used more bitcoins to be used in buying altcoins making bitcoins rise their price because of the demands

The bitcoin market does not collapse. a preliminary market. this is not a very simple thing. but it would be better if it was moving now. this speed is too low. and does not meet our expectations. Although the investments seem to be harmless, we are losing time...

Bitcoin is not quick scheme to make money like you there are many traders around the world waiting for Bitcoin price. The market is not accurate every time, so we have to be very patient when dealing with the Bitcoin market because already we know Bitcoin price is fluctuating hugely.

So, it seems for some of those people who are hates Bitcoin becoming happy when price going down, isn't it. In the end, there opinion doesn't mean anything at all. Bitcoin has been stand live for 9 years, many bad and good news are come and go, what we do expect more. Bitcoin has been proven it has value more than gold and many investor around the world using it as investment. Bubble? I don't think so.

It's true that there are now a lot of other coins, but they haven't really made much progress, so the chances of them overtaking bitcoin is slim to none.

It is very hard to predict about the future. We dont know what is going to happen in future. But in the case of bitcoin it is not happen that is botcoin will not get colapsed. Because bitcoin will be the number one cryptocurrency as of now. There are so many trustworthy coins available now. Most of them are genuine some are not. Eventhough no other coins would beat bitcoin price. Many investors are investing in bitcoin so in future bitcoin will not colapse.

I respect your opinion, but that is not enough if you do not provide it with a valid argument. As a matter of fact, bitcoin reached the moon once upon a time. And I do believe it will do it again because no one should underestimate bitcoin's potentials because it is unpredictable, not to mention that now it is encountering many issues and most of governments are fighting against it. When those issues go away, Bitcoin will rise.

I doubt if bitcoin will ever compete with Gold or Ethereum or even any other cryptocurrency. Most people keeps on saying and seeing this happens but I still have my doubts. It might with Gold to an extend but with Ethereum,  I don't think it will ever happen.  Though, any cryptocurrency that has a better thing to offer than bitcoin might threaten the position of bitcoin. But it won't still happen.

Technically speaking, only Ethereum managed to differentiate itself from the massive crowd of altcoins. There are a few other coins doing relatively well, but none of them hit a market as hard as Ethereum.

If we look at the old-school altcoins, they all have ended pretty bad in terms of their value. Only Litecoin managed to keep holding up its ratio against Bitcoin. I am fairly sure that current altcoins and tokens will end exactly like that.

There just isn't any need for that many coins. They don't contribute to anything other than allowing pump and dump schemes to use them occasionally as get rich quick tool, and that's the hard reality.

That's true , there some similarities between gold and Bitcoin but it doesn't mean it would compete each other , in term of currency that used to trade things anywhere anytime ... Bitcoin are leading where gold aren't in the same way.
I wouldn't surprised if then in the coming weeks whenever Bitcoin price bounce back people would cheering says " to the moon " without remember how desperate they was before , funny to see things like this cycling , poor newcomer .

It is true that everything is possible in crypto currency because sometimes it is look like a bubble, and then weak hands are on the market, whales are there to control the price, government are opposing it, and media is also making their contribution. One of them sometimes may the cause of the crash of price of bitcoin but it doesn't mean that it can lead us to the conclusion that bitcoin market will collapse because through one of them to is the reason why bitcoin always recover. So for me the market of bitcoin will never collapse.

By the ways the growth rate already collapsed mate since the price touch down 10k value.  And in my view there will be no another huge dump on this circumstances which is it will stay above 8k and it will not go further. And perhaps after moth of may it will rise again IMO. because there's no worst situation occurs to cause more dump in the market. so perhaps it will stabilize again after or before end of month.  

LOL. You mean shitcoins will just keep surging exponentially and sustainable? The last time I checked bitcoin is still the number 1 coins and there's no one close to it regarding the price. And those so called "Flippening" and "Rippening", must to the dismay of some of its proponents. If you see that altcoins markets share are increasing, it means that it is being pump hard, and you will what's coming, because later those coins will just be dumped and investors shifting to bitcoin market again. And even if another bubble form and burst, it will again bounce back. Rinse and Repeat.

I think that's impossible. bitcoin is a trusted future currency, every time more and more people come to crypto market and buy bitcoin even in small quantities. and bitcoin values ​​never exist under any coins.

Not so sure of the bitcoin collapse, even if bitcoin collapses it will soon rise again where prices are getting cheaper and allow people to buy more, and everyone believes bitcoin is therefore number one among the other coins, for newly emerging coins they are just stop by to make a profit when it meets the maximum limit they will come back again to buy bitcoin, i'm sure bitcoin will always be number one.

I believe that bitcoin dominance is currently massive undervalued.

It's almost like the gold:silver ratio right now, just like silver is massive undervalued compared to gold, bitcoin is undervalued compared to the rest of the crypto market. A lot of people are flooding to new projects with absolutely no understanding of what they are practically going to address. And most of these newer projects are going to be replaced with even newer ones in the future, while bitcoin remains the only real long term asset in crypto.

BTC isn't going anywhere in the long run. In fact, it'll be the best long term crypto to hold, and history has demonstrated that. The fact that bitcoin is the most widely adopted, practically used, and simply the first crypto to exist, means that it's intrinsically more valuable, and trusted by many more people. I think bitcoin dominance in the long run should probably belong at least in the 60-80% region, which right now, isn't even 40% which is ridiculous.

Bitcoin market collapse is impossible to tell now because although its value drops big time, a lot of people panic sell, scams blooms like mushrooms, and a lot of fake news on forum and social media, people still believe and it. Its a majority of people seeing this down as a normal thing happens everyday, not giving any negative comments and continue what they are doing.

Bitcoin will eventually collapse through incriminating government regulations. professor kenneth s. rogoff believes that the risk of financial anonymity will eventually create an environment in which regulation will destroy bitcoin. but right you think, man. that the collapse will not last forever.

The collapse of bitcoin will only exist in the minds of dubious people, bitcoin is the perfect cryptocoin, many people believe in bitcoin and it will make bitcoin persist in any situation.

The market share of bitcoin has been reduced in an artificial way, there are many forks and some of them very big like bitcoin gold that has reduced the dominance in the market of cryptocurrencies, but also there are many new coins that appear and then disappear after a while that also reduce the dominance of bitcoin in the market, if the bubble really collapses all of the weak coins are going to disappear not the strongest coin in the market.

No, that would mean collapse of all cryptocurrency industry. On in the opposite, it is only the beginning.
But if alts can survive and raise in rates while BTC would decline, that can be a great shift

If this question is answered in affirmative then we can then conclude that bitcoin is dead. I wonder the number of times that we have read e, before I joined the forum and long after I have joined the forum. Times without number threads likes this have been opened and discussed. The outcome of everything is that, whether its an increase in price or decrease in price, it is temporal at least into the foreseeable future but we panicked because we are more comfortable with positives than the negatives.

Maybe they concentrate too much on coinmarketcap.com ;D. I still do not know why a lot of people use the general market cap as a fundamental for anything at all. I would not blame them though as over time, they will get to know how irrelevant that seems to be and judging based on shitcoins available in the whole ecosystem like the OP said, will obviously not be affecting the value of bitcoin in anyway. As long as people stop putting too much relevance on altcoin having effect on bitcoin, I bet the altcoin stupidity will halt a bit.

Bitcoin is far more established and as long as it is not stagnant with development, I do not see how some altcoin that is just popping up, most especially those ones who are clone and thinking they can do better will end up surpassing bitcoin in anyway. Some with real life product may have a demand for them in the long run, but competing with bitcoin or using present dominance to judge the state of the future like the OP did is just insane.

A collapse will not be going to happen as alts will surely going to be dragged down together with the bitcoin price collapse. corrections, dumps and occasional crashes are most likely going to happen in the present and future but with the current support and its strong community that would be likely to be a conspiracy theory for now, remember in the past history of its price and its crashes you will see how many times it survives from them and how the price grows constantly.

I think the number of current crypto coins can not have a significant effect on bitcoin growth, bitcoin is the foundation of crypto and bitcoin will not collapse easily.

I guess you are wrong on this. As bitcoin market goes down or keeps on reducing, these platforms, tokens or altcoins will not surge. Why? They'll share bitcoin's loss.
Bubble form or not, we're done with this term as even before when bitcoin is just on $1,000 there are too many speculations that it is a bubble. And whether bitcoin's about to collapse, it will eventually established and recover from that collapsion.

The real white of bitcoin does not say that it will be a store of value alone, it is primarily a currency that can be traded world wide and that is the biggest strength of bitcoin than the rest of the said altcoins and if that happens it can compete with the rest of the markets.

Dubious or not, nothing is going to change the way the market is in the long run as there is a lot of potentials for this market and collapsing is the last thing we will ever get to see at all. Government regulations however is making some people skeptical as how that would end up being the fate of bitcoin, but the truth is for now, no one knows, and regulation to me should bring more good than harm and it is not like it will end up changing the decentralized protocol anyway.

Market capitalization can reduce at any time based on money flow and that cannot be used to depict the state of the future of a market. The same way it flowed out is the same way it can flow in at any time. Bitcoin getting a huge drop in price will simply affect the alts as well and in that case, some alts may end up getting badly beaten out of the market eventually, and probably will be the end of all the shit coins.

Nice point here, idk how can it happen.. anyway, I hope BTC can become stronger this year, so to promote all cryptos more

Well first of all, never say never. We don't know what circumstances can happen in the future that can cause a market collapse though i agree that it's highly unlikely at this point. More and more people and even businesses are getting into crpyto, accepting bitcoin and other alts for transactions. The value may and will fluctuate to drastic lows but a complete collapse probably is farfetched

Bitcoin market will never collapse. Instead of making this statement, making a statement in the benefit of Bitcoin would be more relevant. These statements have no importance in the market and its analysis because the in analysis we analyze the future of Bitcoin which is on the increase trend as resulted by the average calculations or theoretical output. Bitcoin will never collapse.

It is difficult to predict bitcoin because of its unstable nature, when bitcoin prices fall but not necessarily the bitcoin will collapse. I think bitcoin is not yet time to collapse, bitcoin can still survive and the price will gradually increase again.

How would it be more relevant if someone only writes Bitcoin is going to the moon or whatever? We already have plenty of these moon boys here. And more relevant for what or who will it be, for you? Grow a thicker skin and welcome yourself again in the speculation section when you are ready. People are free to share their opinion and ask questions, regardless of how noobish or fudish or not relevant you consider it to be.

That's the only thing of your post I agree with. :D

Bitcoin price fallen but we cannot make a conclusion that it will collapse. It were unstable from the start and most thought it will not rise. Their is still a growth will comes into bitcoin platform and it can survive indeed.

the state of bitcoin in the market will happen collapse, the possibility that it can happen but no one dared to make sure, because bitcoin is the mother of all coins, and until this far all the coin based bitcoin price, if bitcoin colleps maybe he just lost his team or have a competitor it really is serious to be the no one on the world of crypto,
hopefully useful success always

  We can never say that. And I think it does not look like it would collapse. Just look at the jump in the prices of Bitcoin today. Such jumps do not let the market collapse. Also the technology has grown so much and the general acceptability for the technology has grown so wide that it is now an international currency and many companies across Europe and America use it as medium of exchange.

it's too bad we don't really have any resident perma bears left. anyone remember MatTheCat? i haven't seen kwukduck around in quite a while either. most of the old hands are gone now. nowadays we just got these thin-skinned newbies who come off like they bought at $19k and are shitting themselves. :P

alste (https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/bRHCR1I2-Bitcoin-The-End-of-an-Era/) comes to mind too. "$99 dead serious" ha....those were the days!

Bitcoin market is currently following the stable market between the 7k dollar and the 8k dollar and so on up to 9k dollar. The value shifts constantly between these three values and becoming the market stable but the market is stable below 10k dollar which is called the low market. This low market is favorable for people and will collapse all the negativities and will result in green market.

the bitcoin market is now stable under $ 8k, I think it will be potentially big to form the green market in the next few days. bitcoin market does not collapse, bitcoin is just doing correction.

A complicated thought with the argument that the BTC market collapsed was rivaled by the shitcoin in the smart contract of ETH,which I have noticed if it continues that the value of ETH shares will not increase cause the sale of shitcoin is only at the value of ETH.It should be underlined that the BTC value will not collapse and BTC will not be the same as gold or its kind.

I am sure that bitcoin price will increase higher so I think maybe the price will change to the higher price in the next month so we need to prepare for the price is increased. and I am sure that bitcoin market is not going to collapse and even if the price is down too deep like what we see now, the price will recover soon and the price will increase later.

Bitcoin is still alive and not collapsing . Because the price decreasing it will increase again the price. So better to buy more bitcoin and you will earn a lot of money . Bitcoin mraket will recover so you don't have to worry.

If bitcoin collapse it's because of the panic seller who are panicking when the price decrease they sell their bitcoin even they lose money.

History has a habit of repeating itself. However, the pattern of prices after the recurrence of history, make their own adjustments. Bitcoin was already experiencing such ups and downs. This correction will also pass.
In my opinion bitcoin will not die. Because regulation of the state will be the basis of fixing bitcoin as payment tool. We just need a little bit more time and must be patient.

Bitcoin is an established currency and it will be difficult for it to collapse under any circumstance. Though it can go down and up during a period,but it don't means it will crash. If other upcoming alternative currency that can collapse but not bitcoins nor ether.

This is correct. I have no words for people who think that just because we have thousands of altcoins so bitcoin is destined to fall.
We need to get real here - no amount of random shitcoins will gonna make people sell BTC and go for altcoin XY.
Bitcoin is not a sprint it is a marathon - so if someone is expecting price spike to $100k overnight - then maybe it is better to buy altcoins then.

No it will not, do you think that the bitcoin owner will just let that happen to market of bitcoin of course not right they have so many backers for sure and there are some people out there for sure that helping to improve the bitcoins transactions. I am hoping that someday bitcoin will rise again and reach the value of december 2017 again.

Just because you have seen too much fallback it doesn't mean that Bitcoin will collapse soon. I think you haven't here for a while then because you didn't know what's the Bitcoin is struggling in the past but despite of all of that Bitcoin was able to survive no matter what storm could try to destroy it. Thanks to the wonderful works of all the developers and the team of Bitcoin core they are now continuing their services to all of the people that appreciate the value of Bitcoin.

That will not happen because investors will never let that to happen and if bitcoin will collapse all will go first which is makes it more impossible. If you will heard or read any news saying bitcoin market will collapse I assure you that its a Fud and there is no reality living behind on that shit news.

it will not collapse because many great person are bitcoin investors and aside from that the original will always has the best weapon to compete many and remain at the successful level.

This is a price drop and it's normal for crypto coins and the market will not collapse. This is only a decline and only temporary and the market will improve again.

will never collapse the bitcoin market while there are still a lot of devotees and bitcoin users. especially now that there are so many people who use bitcoin to make money where people invest

I think that's impossible. bitcoin is the strongest and most reliable crypto, many investors are investing in bitcoin, and it is highly unlikely that the bitcoin market will collapse.

I do not know if the market share of bitcoin is going to keep reducing, it is true that is the general trend that we have seen in the last months, but many of the coins that are taking market share out of bitcoin are not really that solid and some of them were hard forks of bitcoin that do not have any real value and are there only to allow traders to speculate with their prices.

No IMO.  Because there's no negative news that can cause  bitcoin growth rate to continue to collapse. Which is for me perhaps it will not under 7k on this circumstances and for sure before the end of month or mid of june the price will continue to climb again or surpass 10k value. 'cause this is just a temporary situation which is always happened even before, so don't panic guys it will not go down more.  .

The current market value is still very high and more than that of other competitive coins or currencies in the market. we know that this valuable coin  has all the secrets behind as the market demand is higher than the market demands of other coins and also the response of this coin is also frictionless than that of other coins. These are the factors which are in the favor of Bitcoin due to its proper work in the market.

Crashes are a natural part of any market, people act as if there are not crashes in the fiat markets the difference is that since this market is so new that the crashes are bigger and more frequent but there is not going to be a total collapse of the market after all even if bitcoin is nowhere close to being perfect it is still a useful coin so it cannot become worthless overnight.

Crashes are normal if the the crypto can still recover but if a crash occur and a coin does not seem to recover anymore then that is not a usuall crash but rather that is what you call a collapse.  Cryptos can possibly collapse if they are not getting a demand anymore and infact it does already happen on some other alts ( shit alts or shitcoins ) that are only purpose is for pump and dump scheme. 

But in the case of bitcoin i dont think it can collapse instantly because bitcoin is way too useful and people loves to use it all the time.

Be patient, and do not panic, bitcoin market will not collapse, currently bitcoin prices fall but for the next few months bitcoin prices will definitely increase high.

You seem to be saying two things, and correct me if I’m wrong. Firstly that you think bitcoins current 37.5% dominance of the market cap will continue to fall as other blockchains disrupt the world and replace its use as a cryptocurrency and it becomes mainly a store of value only, and secondly that you see the cryptomarket collapsing and bitcoin price at risk of collapsing further if the market is in a bubble or one forms.

I certainly agree that the later generation blockchains and protocols being developed will in turn allow the development of dApps that will slowly replace the current massive centralised companies and businesses we all use over the next 10-15 years in a third major technology revolution of the world. I disagree however that use of bitcoin will become redundant over that 15 years, and in fact I see the opposite happening with bitcoin continuing to be the most important cryptocurrency in this new world for payments as well as an increasingly important store of value as you say. And I say this for several reasons. Firstly while bitcoin had problems with Tx speed and costs late last year, this was only because of the unprecedented heavy demands put on its network at the time which are magnitudes bigger than any other cryptocoin has ever faced - and in fact the bitcoin network which has never been hacked or compromised coped quite well and is now running smoothly again! And to cope with increased demands on the bitcoin network with the next big run up in price and its adoption and use by more of the population, the 200+ dedicated developers working on the bitcoin network (which compares with the 10-20 developers typically working on other blockchains) are finalising 6 major exciting improvements to the network that will improve its robustness a lot! Secondly bitcoin is the recognised ‘face’ of crypto, and its recognised by >50% of people in the world many of whom are interested I owning and using it - and buying it will continue to be the entry point for most new people coming into crypto! And given its limited and fixed supply i believe its value will continue to increase exponentially much as it has for the last 8 years, as shown nicely in a linear fashion in this log-graph i recently constructed of bitcoins price from 2010 to early 2018 - https://imgur.com/gallery/9iF3t . The linear exponential growth for the last 7 years is extrapolated out over the next 7 years in the log-graph giving values of bitcoin in the hundreds of thousands, and while it’s very important to remember that a projection of past behaviour like this is in NO way predictive of what will happen in the future I do believe that the positive factors I’ve mentioned will lead to increases in bitcoins value like seen in the graph as its ownership and use by people increases from the current <1% of people who own or use it to 10-15% ownership and use over the next 5-10 years - and I think it will hold its place as the most valuable cryptocurrency over this time with at least 40% of the market cap.

And as you can also see from the log-graph the bitcoin price shorter term goes through big speculative upwards runs and then crashes and moves sideways, with the periods each lasting 12-24 months. We are currently 6 months into a period of bitcoin having crashed 60% from its Dec 17 ATH and it moving in a sideways fashion at ~$8-10K, which will probably last for another six months before the next major upswing takes it to a new ATH of $50K in 2019. And my feeling is that we are at the bottom of this market crash since Dec 17, and that we won’t see bitcoin collapse under $7K before the next bull market fuelled by institutional money and another 1-2% of the population FOMOing in to buy bitcoin first and then other altcoins in the next major upswing. But there’s no guarantees in investment or life of course, and theres always a small chance that the whole crypto space may become worthless which is why people investing in crypto are told never to invest more than they can afford to lose! Good luck with your investing!

Bitcoin is "going for collapse" every few months. Some people just don't see it. If Bitcoin falls it doesn't mean that it will fall forever.

To ty mind, it's only stabilizing right now. It's still pretty high, let's be honest, 20$k last year were more of a emboldmemt for the future, and not real vaue

I guess not, bitcoin is not yet time to collapse, it's just a price drop and it's normal because the bitcoin value is unstable. Wait until the end of 2018 and you will see bitcoin rising higher.

Collapse is a sudden fall down to a total crash and this is not an absolute crash, normal fluctuations, problems, and issues are arising in front of the community, many of  the newbies and weak handed already given up from this phenomenon because they can't really understand that bitcoin is not an easy money rich quickly investments.

We cannot say a collapse actually it so happen price fluctuation is strong on bitcoin. That is true, price drops but it is not forever in down trend. I don't see the future a collapse in bitcoin but I am positive it will going strong in increasing of value.

it can happen if a day someone find a security issue, or if no one is using it

I don't think so. If we say collapse, that means bitcoin will be crashed or going to zero value which is very impossible to happen. Though btc is highly volatile, still investors come and invest on it.

With the recent price decreases it is common reaction of people getting worried and thinks that bitcoin will colapse.  Time and time again there has been deep falls with bitcoin this is commonly experience by the pioneers of these cryptocurrency but then again just when people think it will hit rock bottom it skyrocketted leaving the skiptics in awe. So just hold on we will see better days soon.

my current opinion is just simple what is called collapse? one knows from this time by looking at the sluggish psae but not collapse particularly and especially bitcoin, and in association with falling bitcoin prices and other altcoins soaring it is commonplace, even if the bitcoin price goes up is definitely the price altcoin is on its way down, my current view of market conditions between bitcoin and altcoin is just a matter of equal distribution to reinforce amid conditions of enthusiastic situation of investors and society is rising up, may be useful and successful for all of us

That is why we need a strong regulation to emerging cryptocurrencies so that we can avoid and prevent more shitcoins in going in the market.
Also, despite the many cryptos emerging, it will not affect the market of bitcoin in anyway mainly because most of them depends on bitcoin. The image bitcoin made through the years made it very reputable so even if its price is going downwards, many of us are still trusting and investing to it whenever we have the chance.

BTC has relevance as more crypto objects unveil. But thinking its market share will collapse on the speculative interest of ETH and other Blockchain assets, but when it comes to trading platforms, each of these blockchain assets are predominantly paired with BTC and others.

Oh! It is not collapsing; if it had to collapse then it would have collapsed in the beginning. The Bitcoin market will never collapse as we know that this market has survived a lot and even in the tough situations and made its survival permanent. The current market value is on the increase trend but below 10k dollar which favors the investors to buy the coins and this market will soon uplift and will worth high and will payoff.

Bitcoin market is not collapsing as observing and proving by the current market conditions, the current market conditions are not bad but normal. We are looking for the rise very soon and the current conditions are the signs for soon recovery.

If the market had to collapse, it would collapse before in the beginning but it continued and is continuing its survival in the market which is showing its perfect strength.

Sounds like you have been shown the exact real value in your own dream.
No one knows what the real value would be, no one knows how low bitcoin will ever go and in fact, no one knows anything. The market can do as it pleases because that is what it is; a market !

No matter how optimistic and pessimistic some people may be, nothing stops what will end up happening from happening. Good the OP himself gave the right closing statement while answering his own question as I was going to ask if he understands the word collapse at all.

I am totally agree with you. For now, the market is more stable than it was before. Yeah, the price is smaller than it was, but it's not so bad. And it will survive.

As mentioned it'll survive and there is no need of thinking anything about the long lasting. If bitcoin is to collapse, it could have happened long back when several issues arise pushing bitcoin down the track. But, bitcoin overcame those hurdles and grew much faster which confirms that bitcoin won't collapse.

The price of Bitcoin is not collapsing, conversely to this statement the Bitcoin price is going high and its existence is growing more in the world due to the promotions of Bitcoin all over the world. The current market and the recent news are positive as the price increased constantly from 7k dollar to 7.7k dollar regularly. If this constant increase continues its trend then we will soon enter into high market.

What is going to collapse it?  I do believe that bitcoin has a very good structure and blockchain technology is here to stay. Therefore I did not see any force that is going to collapse it.  Many people have said one thing or the other about this market but I am not seeing it going down.

People are emotional creatures. If the price is heading up they expect Bitcoin to become the main currency of the world, where if the price is heading down all that positivity vanishes instantly and turns into negativity.

It all comes down to how uneducated they are. These people don't know how much of a risk they expose themselves to, and as result they blame Bitcoin for everything that goes wrong.

Another example of how people based on emotions can't act or think properly, is when people lose with gambling. In case of a loss they don't blame themselves for that, but the casino in question, which is just ridiculous.

The most common forms of blame towards casinos is that they are rigged, or that the owner on purposely let them win 5 straight small bets, but made them lose as soon as they went big.

Insanity.

I'm always optimistic that bitcoin can overcome various issues and problems including declining prices like now, if anyone says bitcoin collapse then he will regret the next few months.

No the market is not going to drop because of the coming of other coins but it is because of the bad news from some countries the price of bitcoin dropped, Which is now going to recover slowly.
It will recover much higher especially in this month because of Football world cup 2018 as the crypto is going to use as a main currency in that world cup and people from everywhere will know about that and will invest in that coin.

The creation of bitcoin was not for some time. Satoshi Nakamoto knows that the future is of cryptocurrency and so he designed bitcoin, and now hundreds of thousands of people are investing their money in bitcoin because they also realized that bitcoin will be the mainstream in the future and all other currencies will disappear from the market.

Do you mean that bitcoin will not stay forever? No i dont think it will end instantly becauase bitcoin is too useful to be forgoten by people. It is useful in so many ways , not just for a stand alone currency but as an asset also.



i dont think that satoshi nakamoto predicted that the future of bitcoin will become bright becauase he is just only a normal person and he cannot foreseen or predict the future.



People only invest in bitcoin becauae they know that bitcoin is profitable and to useful but they didnt also realized that bitcoin will became the mainstream currency on the future.

Too fast to mention the bitcoin market is about to collapse, bitcoin is very strong and it is unlikely that bitcoin will collapse quickly. It's just negative thinking that is too panicky with the situation.

I don't think that the market will go to collapse although the price it goes down too far. I realize that this day, the price is down and maybe some of us thinking that the bitcoin price will go down for more. we still don't know what will happen later but I am sure that we can pass this conditions soon after this correction that makes many people become panic. and I hope that this year, this is the deepest of the bitcoin price that we face it and after this, the price will bounce up to the higher price.

I don't think bitcoin would collapse. Though it is currently in downtrend, but I strongly believe it can easily recover soon. We'll just wait and see.

Do you understand that the market of gold is one of the biggest around the world, if bitcoin becomes big enough to rival gold I would consider that a huge success, also if the market of bitcoin becomes so big that means that the market of any coin trying to surpassing it will need to be even bigger, something I do not know if it is possible in your scenario.

Over time you learn that bitcoin is still in infant, hyper-growth stage. You can see that Bitcoin is getting stronger so price will have to catch up. It always does. Your charts are making you hysterical ;-)  You just need to zoom out to see more clearly. You are still dealing with a super trendy top technology so you have to learn to filter out the short term noise.

Wall st is trying to dilute the conversation with altcoins and ICOs but bitcoin will successfully emerge as the top store of value coin and the world will then start to embrace it mainstream. If you want to help out promoting btc, you have to stop talking abt altcoins and focus the discussion on btc. That's my takeaway. Institutions are heavily accumulating btc and  are investing in the technology if you haven't noticed. That's your best long-tern guidance of where btc is headed.
 

do not worry and do not panic because the financial market conditions are like this maybe if you new players you will feel worried over the price decline when this is a very reasonable thing later also the market will improve we just keep watching how the development while making new strategies for the future.

I would not also be panic much as well with the way things are going with the market. A lot of traders expect a huge break out below $6200 which would be a speedy move downwards and that is not a possibility as things are going, and no one right now with the volume in the market and the false breakouts will even want to be taking any major risk. I guess we have a lot of days to see how things would end up going.

With some technical analysis, I am predicting market to take a U turn from here as $6600/$6400 levels are too strong support levels, you can check lots of buyers there in most of major exchanges. If you consider price levels under $10k a collapse then bitcoin market already got collapsed. If below $5k is a collapse then that will never going to happen. 

It will have to take something too crazy or too wild for bitcoin to just collapse, a quite big number of people use it and as long as it is used for transactions, it will continue to survive.
You cannot really compare bitcoin to gold and I am pretty sure that bitcoin will continue to be a forerunner on cryptocurrencies while eth seconds as a lot of coins that just pop up are just frauds and heavily manipulated.

Collapsing means the price is very cheap and few people are only are still investing in bitcoin and many people are leave bitcoin and sell their bitcoin. But until now bitcoin is still alive and more stronger to all cryptocurrency.  I think it is good to buy more bitcoin instead of saying to collapsing.

It will not collapse obviously, there will be a lot of people who will be interested on cryptocurrency because there are a lot of icos today who are starting their business and because of that, we can always rely on cryptocurrency that it was very profitable.

The market today is turbulent but that doesn't mean bitcoin will collapse. precisely, this moment will be used to invest both bitcoin and altcoin. just waiting for time to go breakout.

we must remain optimistic and do not be pessimistic that this bitcoin will never collapse in fact until now there are still many users who are hunting bitcoin through mining, And I think that other coins can be said as a maid to make a profit because when bitcoin is bleeding, and we also trade in other coins.

Price struggling in bitcoin as always be but will not collapse. Everytime the price goes down people tends to say bitcoin will die nor going to collapse. Yes the moment to buy cryptocurrency that we may hold rather than selling.

Something totally beyond imagination to see everyone trying to dump the coins they have and in that case, who is going to be collecting the dumps, and bag holding ? Those are selling right now with the expectation of upcoming collapse might end up with big disappointments for sure and who are all making use of these dips to buy more, will become millionaires in coming days.

I do not see any reason for bitcoin to collapse anyway, it is a market, which is evolving and increasing in growth and development, with a lot of people seeing the real value it creates and a means for storing value as well. All these things would be a reason why the sky is the limit for bitcoin.

Unethical if bitcoin's said to collapse because the prospect of bitcoin will continue to be promising and tantalizing, as has been the case in previous years, to date there are still many whales and entrepreneurs, who own and hodl large amounts of BTC. Therefore I definitely believe that bitcoin prices will increase again this year.

Bitcoin price is already trading very stable, although there are a lot of bad news in the market but still it is getting a very good support from the people, i think that if they will continue giving support to bitcoin it is expected to see the price increasing very soon, because still bitcoin price has too much potential to increase its price .

I think the negative speculations did some worst outbreak with the current price. We have no control over the current situation but for now, the right idea for your holdings is to wait for the right time when value will become profitable. Never lose hope and panic because it may add up the chaos same as what happened recently.

Bitcoin can survive and will not collapse so easily, bitcoin will be able to rise at a better price, and remain in its popularity to be the main crypto coin.

Well, they only see exactly what they want to see and I do not know why someone would think of a collapse when indeed we are just in a bear trend. A lot of people are the main reason why they panic and they do not even need FUD news for that. If we are to count the number of times since the beginning that stuffs like these have been mentioned though, we would not stop counting.

We can go lower than this and there is no doubt, but we can bounce from anywhere at any point in time and that is the reality. Instead of worrying about the collapse, we must work on how to make use of the market to buy more. Collapse may occur but it will bounce back very sharply for sure. If we are not aware of that then may miss a very big opportunity of our life time.

there is a possibility this is a competition in the world of crypto but what distinguishes the bitcoin with the others? I think the other coins follow how the bitcoin price develops? or indeed there are other things that make the price decline.

Bitcoin has crossed the level that we may think it will collapse and what is happening now is as a result of the pumpping bitcoin has last year.  I think we should keep on holding in other to be able to maximize profits in future.  I have been trying to said otherwise but when we go through the event that happened in 2013 we would understand what is happened.

In reality no one know about the future of bitcoin but still people keep talking, either good or bad but they talk about it and I think these are just negative thoughts of some people about bitcoin that its price is going to decrease now. This roomer not a new one, from the very first day some people were saying that the price of bitcoin will decrease with time but it didn’t and I think the same thing will occur in the future. 

No the market of bitcoin is not going to collapse because bitcoin is much stronger currency in the world economy of digital business. People are spending their money in it and they want to support it more because they know that in this currency they will see a more brighter future. They will not leave it and they will hold their coins. These are some points which is making the coin more stronger.

Bitcoin is not going to collapse if see that bitcoin is decreasing it doesn't mean bitcoin will collapse it cause a contribute of  panicking of people to sell their coins. Bitcoin will not collapse because people will not allow that to happen even the whales in the crypto market.

Many altcoins collapse all the time, but we are not going to see a collapse of bitcoin at all, it is true the market of bitcoin has experienced a decrease in its price that has been significant but even in this difficult moments you can still earn money if you a are a trader and have the guts to trade and short bitcoin, I know it is not easy and it is a risky move but if you do it and master it you will no longer care about the price going down and you will only care about the direction and the magnitude of the movement.

I don't think so. Every crypto trader or person that have been in crypto from a while have complete faith on Bitcoin. It's been the history of Bitcoin that it's price fluctuates a lot. If you look on the graph of 2017 then there were many ups and downs during the whole year and similar pattern is being observed this year. P.S if you exclude January from it 

      I am always optimistic that bitcoin's value will not reduce.    instead it will increase at huge amount by the end of this year 2018. Many investors have fated with bitcoins future ,that it can survive this challenge, though this past few weeks it was fluctuating. And I strongly beleive bitcoin will be on top in this  cryptocurrency.

Ask yourself and you will know if it will collapse
Market goes by cycle, but if one market doesn't move the exact way as before, it may be a sign to see how the market will turn

Let us just say that what is currently happening is the cycle of life in cryptos and to be more specific, this is the cycle for bitcoin. Looking back, we will see that bitcoin had started at a very low price and then as time passes by it had managed to reach its position as the number one crypto. You will also see that the market price is not always going up, there are times when bitcoin needs to crash for it to gain more investors. Bitcoin price falling right now is creating too much noise which I am sure that the whales or possible investors are very much aware. The dump price will be a good opportunity for them to use pounds of money as well as for the potential investors who are waiting to enter this community.

As I have said, this is just a cycle so no matter how low bitcoin price go, it will not die. Eventually, it will start to recover again we just have to give it time.

The market of Bitcoin is not going to collapse and the reason is its work and function it is responding well to people living in this world for fast transactions and investment with huge profit.

So it will never collapse and this is just a down in the market which will recover soon so be optimistic about the future of Bitcoin. It has recovered in the past and will be recovering and will be improving in the future as we know that the crypto market is improving with the passage of time.

At this phase that we are, when we are just starting the moving train, collapsing should not even be in anyone's dictionary. If we ever get to a stage like this, then that means there is a huge fire on the mountain and so many people are trying to get out as fast as possible, and as I am right now, I have not been able to think of any scenario ever that can end up leading to that.

Most probably the term collapse used by OP must be in wrong sense because bitcoin market is highly established the one and it will never get collapsed for simple reasons like some countries banning bitcoins nor some big whale's sell off. The collapse may be possible only when there will be a fundamental failure of entire bitcoin systems.

What is your confidence based on? I don't see any positive signals at the moment. Users do not want to sell coins cheaply and buyers do not want to buy coins more expensive because the period of optimism is over. We need some kind of impulse to warm up the demand, but I think that this will not happen before the end of autumn.

Bitcoin market will not collapse because cryptocurrency will just continue to grow, the volatility of the market will make the price of bitcoins to grow even more due to the demand in the market that keeps on decreasing whenever a dumping time like today occurs.

Increasing of numbers of cryptocurrency is just fine because not every coin in the market does have the capability of increasing its own price if people will not choose to invest on their coin.

I don't think bitcoin market is collapse although bitcoin price is at the low price, I am sure that soon, bitcoin market will rise again and the price will reach the highest price. just be patient and enjoy the ride and make sure you can buy another bitcoin or at least you are trying to collect more bitcoin from many ways. don't forget to always check the price in all market and make an analysis of the price so you know where the bitcoin price wants to go and you can make your decision.

The market is crumbling but will not die and will grow again, The fall of the price of crypto is normal, and it will not make crypto die, be patient and do not panic, the red market will surely pass soon.

Bitcoin will not easily collapse easily. Bitcoin is the strongest coin and will survive in the long run. Do not be too negative about bitcoin, because it will hurt you.

Being negative in bitcoin won't actually hurt me but shall give me a sign to take heed in any action I am in with bitcoin. I, personally am not against bitcoin or what. But we have to be careful as well and be prepared. Of course we don't want to just wait for bitcoin to recover, upon waiting, we have to make actions so that we are  sure to earn at the end of the day.

The market today is turbulent but that doesn't mean bitcoin will collapse. precisely, this moment will be used to invest both bitcoin and altcoin. just waiting for time to go breakout.

the bitcoin market will never collapse even though the price of all the coins is down and if it is oriented at the current price as if the market is going to collapse it is wrong because something like this is a reasonable thing there may be some thing going on that makes the price of all the coins down.

No it is not true.Price is very low but that does not mean that bitcoin market will collapse.We should not have a negative view regarding bitcoin.In coming days or months it will definitely do a come back.We should try to have faith in BTC.Actually it is the best time to invest .Price is low so try to avail such opportunity and buy new coins and save them for future.We should invest in bitcoin as well as altcoins.Bitcoin market is highly established and surely it is not going to collapse so easily.

I think no. Bitcoin market will not collapse. Bitcoin will only decrease but will not collapse because there are many other bitcoin users who remain loyal using bitcoin. Bitcoin will go rise up very high again. Just wait.

I like what you said, bitcoin will go up again we just to be patient. At all times in the market it is high and low prices even decreasing it will not collapse. This is true many users are still using bitcoin and loyal until now.

While no one knows with absolute certainty what it is going to happen to bitcoin in the future at the same time there are things we can see very clearly and bitcoin is not going to collapse in the short term, there is no other coin that can rival the technology and popularity of bitcoin and this means bitcoin will keep begin very valuable for a very long time.

When bitcoin was just starting after satoshi created it bitcoin could have been destroyed by governments if they want it by dedicating a few computers, becoming miners and do a 51% attack, but bitcoin grew to this point and now such an attack will be very difficult to implement so I think it is safe to say that bitcoin is not going to crash at all now that it has reached these levels of adoption.

Bifcoin will only collapse if there are no more buyers or the demand for bitcoin has stopped. Although the price of the bitcoin continues to go down, there are still more significant investors in the market ready to buy the top coin. Bitcoin is experiencing a prolonged correction or accumulation but it is not necessary a collapse of the cryptocurrecies.

I don't think it will go collapse although bitcoin is sometimes low and sometimes up but to collapse I don't see anything why it's going to collapse. When market collapse surely altcoin will follow to collapse too.

the moment where market conditions are like this there are up and down there because last year was a year where the price is so very high and maybe now headed where the price is so low it is a very reasonable thing.

The market status wasn't very high until the last quarter of last year though. To think that a collapse will occur because the value is around 6k is foolish considering that by most of last of last year's standards, btc is still at a decent value.

Yeah you are right. Most of the people around the globe do not know anything about crypto world and they will take long time to learn about bitcoin and Altcoin. So we should not be worry about the decreasing price of bitcoin. The future is bright and the investment cap will increase with the passage of time and thus the price will also grow, Just be patient.

No I don’t think so. Fall in the price I think is for the time being and it will grow again in the near future. We just need patience to hold our coins for some more time. No doubt 2018 gave deficits to many people but those who hold their coins will make good profits in the future. Don’t be panic about the price in this day and be optimistic about the bright future.

People should wait instead of panic about the present situation of the market, by observing previous Bitcoin price it is impossible to predict how long it will take to recover but Bitcoin market will not collapse because there are many people who don't want to decrease the price of Bitcoin by holding Bitcoin.

 All ups and downs in the market are all normal even the worst crash that happen to us never mean anything more that that like a collapse. Just think of the current crush as the opposite of the all time high in December and it's part of the flow so you won't feel any worries anymore.

yes, although the bitcoin price is down too deep, it will keep trying to go up. this will happen too often and not just in this week or in daily, but it will also happen in the next months. what we need to do is only keep trying to make a profit from the price because I see that our chance to still make a profit is wide open especially if we can do a good analyze in the market. but don't forget, bitcoin price suddenly gets down without any warning so you need to have another plan to prevent this.

This would lead to panic selling for some who lack knowledge and it's not strategic enough on how to deal its volatility. It has been a normal trend and we should be aware of it. Despite its price moving upward or downward at unexpected time, it still has great potential for great opportunities, growth, will bounce back and generate huge profit. Each passing day, its demand is increasing, more development are expected to arrive in the global market, and the support system is getting stronger, so I don't think it's going to collapse easily.

I don't believe that the market will collapse just because of the downtrend of the market, many people support cryptocurrency only trusted crypto that they like to buy, I think only the scam crypto will collapse.

No, bitcoin will not collapse for now. Bitcoin will increase from its current fall. Be patient and reassure yourself of bitcoin, hold the bitcoin you have, then you will get a good profit in the future.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and a part of its system, so no question of collapsing because cryptocurrencies will be the new future of financial system, be it Bitcoin or any other altcoin. Bitcoin being the primary it is and will be used as the primary currency. Easy availability among huge no. of users will never let it go down or collapse.

It never gets collapsed, at times when there is a price manipulation the market gets shattered. This will generate a panic wave among the user community creating a downtrend of the market. This is quite common thing as people were not in a situation to accept this when price falls steep in a short.

Yes it is possible to happen what you've above, but i don't think it will happen easily unless there is a massive fud propaganda from the whales.

No it will not collapse, the price of other cryptocurrency that are being rejected by the investors will just die because the platforms are the reason why ico's should be competitive in terms of long term investment in order for their own project to be chosen by different investors in the market.

In my opinion, neither Bitcoin market will collapse nor will the prices fall again. We are already in a point in time when the prices are down but look a bit stable below the low level of prices.

The collapse can only occur if all the people abandon on Bitcoin and completely stop their demand for it which I think can never happen because the currency has spread a lot and a very huge amount more than billions of dollars have been spent in the technology.

thats true, it's too early to say bitcoin will collapse, while bitcoin is still in the development stage, there are still many potential users
in different parts of the world who will join, bitcoin will still continue to grow and develop, we have not reached the golden age yet

The market conditions of Bitcoin is not good these days but only for those who have invested in a normal market so selling market will some only after long term hold. The market will never collapse and if it had to collapse then it would have collapse in the past or in the start of crypto market. Bitcoin has given its survival assurances and now it is our time to get benefit of this market.

that is true, I am sure that more people will join with bitcoin and they will find that bitcoin can give them the opportunity to make money. besides that, bitcoin will make the price increase so high and this will makes people which are not joined into bitcoin will be amazed and shocked to see the price. in the next year, bitcoin will grow fast with the support from the technology and of course, the internet gives much information about bitcoin so it will make people curious about bitcoin.

Well, despite all the negative news and comments against bitcoin, I don't think it will collapse soon as it's main value is yet to be reached not minding the current market decline. 

Agreed, and what is happening with the value of bitcoin is simply the market fluctuation. At times the fluctuations were taking place in large scale generating panic among the users. If this is to collapse on price fluctuations, the cryptocurrency industry should have faced it years back. Because similar growth pattern has happened in the past. Now as the price is found to reach a higher price and the sudden downfall looks like a collapse.

After a huge bull run the bear run comes. Don't worry - it will go away and the bull market will return - when tho nobody can tell.

We can not say like this and it is totally irrelevant as we know that the market of Bitcoin recovered after down falls and this showed its potential and strength as well the support of people due to the response of Bitcoin. Now situations are not favorable for sellers but favorable for buyers, as buying rate is increasing so we will see a better value in the future.

There is nothing about the collapse. This situation will be recovered soon and the upstream will be seen in the price in the near future. You should wait till that time and be patient. If you want to make money then hold your coins for some more time and when the price rise again you can sell them for higher price. Patience and courage is necessary for bitcoin investment.

Pretty optimistic huh? A lot of us here like that as well especiallly after april proved to be a good month but short termers' hope were dashed when we plunged again, this time clocking an all time low for 2017. Though i'm sure as hell bitcoin will endure, this market may take a little more time like this

I dont think this is possible right now that nothing is created a kind of cryptocurrency which can surpass the essentials of bitcoin. The market is experiencing a price depression and this is not the first time actually this has always been the trend but just as before it can surely recover.

I think With the advent of technology and the impact of the chain of blocks it will continue to evolve into a better platform to serve the nation and people. The downward price trend is only normal, we have lower prices in the market than this February this year is 6k infact.
I just observed that whenever there is a price trend down many posts or subjects to post say and ask the same line as this "Will bitcoin collapse?" Good people need to understand that from the beginning bitcoin up to now has struggled in the last 9 years but remains and dominates. If in time it will collapse then I think it will take life time to do it.

Price isnt a determiner of the market collapsing or ceasing long term, its really related to efficiency and in comparison to alternatives in transmission of value.     

So for example, gold has the positive in not requiring any energy upkeep or backing in order to continue.  Its efficiency is in the very long term transmission of value.     Alt coins have to have some key unique feature to them or suffer in comparison, so I see the main contrast as the protocol itself.    Which other blockchains have a greater efficncy and utility then bitcoin itself, the fee problem with BTC did elevate many alternatives as cheaper but that effect has declined.

The main reason to doubt BTC and believe a collapse or takeover by a rival is from the cost of running ASIC.   If they cannot profitably confirm each block then it could cause a ripple effect - no pun intended.  There is a true test ahead in terms of cost per unit of data vs speed vs security and various factors valued by consumers.

I think it is the other way around many of the projects that currently exist will disappear in the future and when that happens then all of that money going to those alts is going to return to bitcoin so if anything it is likely bitcoin recovers some of the market share it has lost to other coins, it is not something that will happen in the next months but it could happen in the next 10 years.

No I don’t think so because if you are thinking about the fall in the price and share your worries about the coming situation it will be just a panic for all. I think that this situation is for the time being and the price will increase after some time. But I think that this price is not bad and is according to the market cap. We have seen big price of bitcoin and that is the reason for our worry.

The market will never collapse because the price is still very profitable even though it might go down sometimes, every time the market price is dropping there will be more investors who are going to hoard coins so definitely the price will still grow up, volatility is the reason why every traders are getting rich today.

why are you so pessimist about what is going on the market? I think that it all will be recovering sooner or later, so there is no need to be so worried about this, teh best thing that you can actually do is try to buy as much bitcoin as you can.

Well i'm not going to say never because you can't remove the chances of it anyways. But it's unlikely though because you're right, one, it's already an asset that many people consider very profitable. So much that price drops are considered opportunities to just buy back. Also, once it settles, i think it'll be more than an asset and will be used more as a transaction method.
