Bitcoin Forum

Bitcoins losing meaning and value is natural, its not capable to manage the worlds economy, you freaks dont understand that because you dont want to face and consider the complexity of the worlds socioeconomic structure, thinking you could replace all currencies with a currency that is based on a race about installed computation power without imense social, cultural, and economic consequences was a ridiculous idea in the first place, that drove the ponzi scheme hype and was nothing but a naive illusion, wich you used to collect followers.

nevertheless some good thing remain, of bitcoins shortlived existance

an online kapital market, and a more decentral kapital market where the influence of the national banking cartel is reduced,

exactly what satoshi wanted.

i doubt satoshi was so stupid to actually think that he would replace all currencies with bitcoin like all his followers did.

satoshi was seeking to reduce the influence of the banking cartels, and i think he achieved what he wanted.

i feel sorry for all those who bagholded altcoins thinking they can become rich and now that their dreams are being shattered they are starting to point the finger at bitcoin just to have someone or something to blame for the mistakes they have made...

hopefully the illusion you have built for yourself also bursts with the bubble bursts.

good altcoins will become the future, as we will through bitcoins short existance and the now existing cryptoindustry get a better capital market, and people working int he economy get a more stable demand on their goods and services,

I think Bitcoin will hold its value simply because it's used as a sort of Digital Gold in my opinion. I agree that Satoshi has proven his point by disrupting the financial sector. The real value for the economy comes from the underlying blockchain technique that becomes more and more adopted by publicly traded companies worldwide. Probably 90% of all crypto's will end up being worthless in a couple of years, but i think there will be some that survive and settle in.

Nothing new that bitcoin fluctuates a lot, we moved from 5k to 20k in no time and then we came down hard, I firmly believe that there will be another bull run sooner or later

We should remember BTC is volatile and can reduce it value and also at the same time shoot up like never before. It will never loose its value permanently but temporarily.   

i like these corrections

those that stocked up on the last one are now enjoying the rewards

just dont stock up on 2017 icos because they were always going to oblivion and beyond

find the gems

jes because the early icos were imitations, not really much progress

Bitcoin will never lose its value remember this is a volatile market it swings back and forth so expect Bitcoin rise very soon

not thats just a short term, calm down, to hold the lines of the bitcoin developers, they dont consider more longterm effecting market forces, even deliberate,

Take long term investment in bitcoin because it needs more recovery. Do not contribute on this fall for it to have reason to drop more but that does not mean that it will lose the value. Wait patiently and it will worth all the wait. Invest on other coin when you want short term which you cannot depend on bitcoin for the meantime.

At the beginning of the fall, people always showed confidence, but once they fell and the fell couldn't stop, people began to complain, just like we saw in this post. ;D

I completely agree that Bitcoin won't be the sole global currency as many would like to believe, but that doesn't mean that it can't exist as a global alternative. It already does cross-border transfers better, it can do fees better, and being different from fiat means owning some is akin to diversification, among other things. It hasn't lived up entirely to its potential yet, but I see no reason to declare its death just because of a little crash. It's going to survive for as long as it has a workable niche.

You're right though, I don't think Satoshi ever meant it to replace all currencies at all.

Now there are no coins that grow in price. Most altcoins repeat the charts of bitcoin price fall. It seems to me that now there is no free money to invest in cryptocurrencies so they all show a stable decline. Bitcoin was growing steadily in price to 7700 but I saw how whales stopped this growth. This means that the potential of bitcoin is very large, but someone is very interested in a low price level.

The market just continues to struggle to make any significant moves up for a few months. I never thought we'd see this price again, time to clear out the savings accounts! All major support levels got broken, down we go. Is the price going in the wrong direction?

If I`m not mistaken it`s even not the second topic with such predictions. But as time flies by cryptos only get more and more influental and widspread.

Supporters of Altcoin cheered when I saw bitcoin sink, I think it's natural. So I want to ask, what coins do you mean will replace bitcoin? What is a ripple?
Do not you understand, supporting bitcoin is the same as maintaining the continuity of the crypto world. You hope your altcoin is superior but you want bitcoin to die, is not this a joke?
Bitcoin is still used as a benchmark for altcoin values and if people lose confidence in bitcoin, then altcoin will not survive the destruction.

Yes this is quite saddening and gloomy for us, though this is time for the buyers to get as many as btc they can get, hopefully soon enough the price would go back once again as the price may be very low at the moment, let's continue our paths and may the price grow once again. Stop stating BTC is dead and if it dies then altcoins would definitely not function that good as well.

the price will not go up again,

the market reality has changed.

if you cant get my message it will be your own loss.

stop trying to short bitcoin. shorting will come back and bite you in the ass eventually. if you don't believe me do a little search about all those newcomers like you who tried shorting bitcoin and lost. this market is not kind to people like you. don't say we didn't warn you...  :-*

I think altcoin will take the lead in the next few years. There will be a coin in place of bitcoin in the future.

I read about korean exchange attacked by hacker in
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jun/11/bitcoin-price-cryptocurrency-hacked-south-korea-coincheck
There explain why bitcoin and other cryptocurrency losing the value.

we live in a complex world when something happens there are lots of reasons,

I wouldn't call bitcoin shortlived, it has already been around for 9 years now and will continue existing even if the value drops.

Also, I think you are pretty misinformed if you think that most people want bitcoin to replace currency.
I would say that only a relatively small amount of people on bitcointalk say such things.
In the professional crypto world, there is no one saying such foolish things.

Blockchain tech itself will be incorporated into the mainstream and will transform how businesses, organizations, and governments run.
There is nothing speculative about this, the technology is just better and faster.
time has also shown that the development of more advanced blockchains is occuring at a freakishly fast rate.
There is no reason to think that the inherent challenges of using blockchain won't be addressed and resolved.

To me, someone calling bitcoin a fad, is like someone in the 90s saying the internet is just a fad.

Do you think this is the end?

This is a reboot before a new start to the moon. I believe in the future with crypto and blockchain. The market will recover by 2020

Definitely. It's a risky adventure. We'll should be prepared for it.  Don't forget the golden rule :invest with amount you can actually cope with if it turns out otherwise

the fact that you and OP who are possibly the same person feel the need to make dumb statements like this in the bitcoin board shows how much you believe in what you are saying ;)

i am not the same person as "cryptogott" are you getting paranoid? how is my statement dumb? i told to see the opportunities, thats not dumb.

Probably the end for Bitcoin.  But not the end for blockchain.  Ethereum will probably take over after they start up the high scaling solution. 

Sometimes altcoin is a coin that can replace bitcoin at any time. I know that bitcoin is the first electronic currency, but that does not mean it's a coin worth long-term investment

I agree with you. Altcoin is the future of electronic money. ETH is created after Bitcoin. ETHs have many advantages over Bitcoin. Other coins like the ripple, DASH and ADA are better than Bitcoin

well spotted

Haters will hate...

Have a nice day too :)

who says that it is not clear layers that if bitcoin can be the world currency since it is auditable that is the bitcoin key that no country in the world has on its currencies that is why I am bitcoin to the world to remove the financial borders that have been inoculated in the minds of the people the dominance of the world economy that left it to the bankers and the federal reserve of the united states have the power and they are going to lose it I get bitcoin a consensus and auditable nadi can cheat and there are only 21000000

i hate no one and i dont hate bitcoin, i am helping you

We must not forget that the crypto currencies are still at the beginning of their journey. After the exaggerations and price explosions at the beginning of this year, this price correction is completely normal. Nothing happened.
The BTC rate is still higher than a year ago. Over time, all the excitement will set. The BTC will be used by many people around the world as currency, the prices will rise again and everything is fine.

Do not worry for the price as it drops a little at every Eid (Muslims Festival) they all need money to spend for celebrating it and for that reason they withdraw their money from bitcoin but it will not continue as after Friday the price will again start to rise as after that they will not withdraw. It happens every year which I noticed as all of the Muslims withdraw some of the amount for spending.

People should just accept that bitcoin rules crypto and spreading bad news about bitcoin will not change that. It is sad how some altcoins feel that the only way that they can succeed is to spoil bitcoin and take over which never happens.  They should accept that many have tried these methods but it didn't work so how sure are they that they can win?

It's not new to us of downfall thats business strategy strike back while bitcoin is still here time to start or else you feels regret if it is vanish oooppsss  with the new trend of technology launch by bitcoin we will continue to rise dont let fears put in your mind where on top see you in the winning time good luck.

if what you say is a truth I think the most important thing now is to take advantage of the opportunities available to capitalize on the opportunities available to make a profit while bitcoin can still be for investment

wrong

none of those have solved any of bitcoins limitations at all they have simply given up the trustless and decentralised ideology to certain degrees

none are a big advantage over btc and are actually a step backward

eth is the only other project that has some merit

you look to much for the big ones, there are countless projects that are good, nevertheless there is an issue with to many thinking they want to replace the entire economy and all world currencies.

Yes it is very sad for us and all the crypto community is very sad and frustrating. However, this time the buyer buys Bitcoin and buys it. I hope that soon its price will come back.

Yes, the crypto currency is unstable. And many people do not think about the future buying this or that crypto-currency. For that the world received a push in a new direction of development. Thanks satoshi

Its nothing surprising because at the past of bitcoin, it always drops it value, and it will increase again. Bitcoin is unstable currency, because bitcoin is volatile, it means that its value is rapidly changing and its unpredictable if its going to increase or decrease. For me buying now is good because the price is lower, later it will rise up again. Bitcoin is used to these situation, so dont panic and just wait for its time to increase again, because it will, maybe before the year ends.

No I do not think that this will continue.Bitcoin's value is increasing slowly and steadily and this will continue grow in the coming future.The value of all the cryptocurrencies including bitcoin has risen a lot over the years.In the last nine years bitcoin has faced a lot of ups and downs and has always emerged victorious.Bitcoin is used to these kinds of situations and so there is no need to panic about the fall in price.I think bitcoin can also give competition to fiat currency.

Yeah, bitcoin going through these situations for the past years, and still bitcoin is still with us, helping us and many more people that believe on bitcoin to earn profit to support our needs and wants. For us long time in the bitcoin, we are not affected by the dropping of its price and the bad news spreading, we just let bitcoin do the things to make them wrong everytime. Bitcoin is a living legend in terms of crypto currency.

what do you mean that bitcoin has a short lifespan? do you think that bitcoin will die quickly after seeing a bad market today?

what is your reason?

There is one thing you don't realize, bitcoin can co exist with fiat currencies and other financial networks, I don't think bitcoin needs to replace the existing currencies at all. Countries want and need currencies they can control themselves, so quite logical.

I've seen a video in youtube that BTC price started to go down from Dicember 2017 because of BTC-futures. Big gamers make it because they want people panic and sell their coins. Because they want more control. And, as we know, Ethereum is next (CBOE: "there is no barrier to Ethereum futures anymore"). What you people think about this? Can the Ethereum price go down same as BTC after ETH-futures announcement?

Bitcoin may not replace major world economies because of some obvious setbacks, for a start,there are some cartels currently running the bitcoin price manipulation.That being said,bitcoin is in my opinion an added advantage,not a total replacement of fiats.

The movie "The rise and rise of Bitcoin" motivate to believe ;)

Some times it happens  market goes down, that doesn't means it's over, after sometime it regains its pace, so it's normal phenomena

Well, we all know that its price goes down sometimes and it will get higher again in the future.  I believe that this will be an opportunity for us to be bitcoin at its low price and hold it for a long time.

All markets are keep on moving and sometime decline big. Like stock exchange it also drop sometime. I think it is also like crypto exchange. But bitcoin will not continue to drop.

You speak like one of those haters of Bitcoin, but you may want to remember that at no time was Bitcoin aiming  at replacing all currencies, instead it came to correct and strengthen those already far gone and debt ridden money.

For me, I consider  Bitcoin as valuable thing or an asset to people for they want Bitcoin. For lile any other currency, Bitcoin follows the rules of aupply and demand of the economy. This helps people to make trade easier, enabling holders to convert goods into a widely tradable commodity through the business sale and then it uses to purchase nearly anything they wish to have. The most important thing that makes Bitcoin valuable is that, Bitcoin is different from the other. It has its own capabilities to people's want, it shows its uniqueness to people.

Well bitcoin price going down is not a surprise at all. It has been like that for years. It goes up then it goes down drastically, it recovers and most of the time price goes up beyond recovery. Well its not gonna be a surprise at all. We know bitcoin will recover everytime

We can't neglect these things happen with crypto, in fact since from the start isn't quite just like these and people enjoying the moment bitcoin grows. But as crypto getting into its popularity, crisis may come and people we're getting into troubled then. It gives losses and feel bad having with crypto investment, I may think it is not a good experience for them but that is the reality, we loss and we gain.

Bitcoin already have great achievement in past 9 years. From dont have a value and bitcoin price right now at $6500, highest price at $19k. I am believe bitcoin is good long term investment and still valueable investment

Bitcoin losing value because of greedy people who are trying to manipulate this market. Of course every market needs to dump so people can buy at a cheaper price and sold when it reaches the moon again. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are both great in the future, so better to keep on holding and become rich in the future.

i think btc will recovery again soon,now BTC is so effect to crypto market,if BTC fall down continues i afraid the crypto market will broken,so i think there are whales control the market,i think BTC will grow up again and pull whole crypto market grow up together

Fluctuation.is a part in crypto world. It cannot remain stagnant. Bitcoin will gain momentum sooner or  later.

Just ignore the bitcoin price, there is times of struggle and there is a time of success. We need to be patience and open minded. Think positive and believe that bitcoin will make things possible.

And I think 6k is around near the bottom because this is a major support level on the charts. If we break this support anywhere all the way down to 1-2k is fair game. Let's hope 6k can hold now :).

Yes, it is not surprising. But the media, the topholders and even the scammers are there to reinstate and awaken the popularity of bitcoin. Of course, it will not replace fiat (as of now) because people are starting to adopt bitcoin in many countries. And we have to accept the fact that it is uneasy to adopt this kind of technology in a short period of time.

Yeah that's true, the price will rise soon we just need to be patient and take this a good opportunity to buy more if you have enough money. We can see a good bull run coming after this correction.

Yep, it’s quite normal that bitcoin has drop. We all know that bitcoin is extremely volatile coin. Hence, it fluctuates incessantly and well it’s never in dip forever, anyway it will have a rise again. In addition, the fluctuation of bitcoin always provides us the opportunity to buy it with low price, this is one of the most benefits that we should capitalize on bitcoin market. All we need to do is keeping our head, getting away panic and let try to have a good strategy so that we can gain profit.

The market value of as this moment is quite bothering because of the continuous decrease it occurs in the blockchain market therefore many new investors are glad in this moment since low mprice.

If people are just seeking to speculate in the encrypted world, bitcoin will slowly increase its urban value. But the good news is that communities are growing. If more industries use bitcoins, bitcoins will be more valuable.

Bitcoins price has been changing a lot lately. Many people say that it discourages others from buying it and cause a huge panic sell. THe only problem is that whales are buying a lot of BTC in order not to be late for the party. Thanks to the changing Bitcoin price it is fairly easy to earn a lot of money if you buy a dip and then sell it at ATH. It sounds easy, but many people don't do it or fail because they panic. THey have no faith in Bitcoin and that's why they are not ready to use it yet. They should have started with studying Bitcoin.

Neither can it continue indefinitely in any one direction, so at certain time it would be up and down at some other time, that's exactly how the market works. Any trader should know that much and start panicking every time the market starts to go down. Instead of running for cover, most profitable traders relish times like this, because it represents an opportunity to buy an asset at a cheaper rate again.

Bitcoin is losing values nothing surprising because bitcoin is always fluctuation in its price, it  will continue  if many bad news come to the bitcoin is like this one https://news.bitcoin.com/mt-gox-creditors-legal-victory-enormous-assets-to-be-returned/ but we don't be worry about it because price of bitcoin will rise again and today is good time for buy the bitcoin in discounts price, we just need long term investment strategy in down trend market.

Good that there is something good from Satoshi's concept that has affected the whole world. I am  also glad that you were able to identify the unfair financial system that is prevalent and being perpetuated by the banks cartel and their owners. If Bitcoin will fail atleast the cartel influence are being reduced at the moment by the decentralized concept of Nakamoto. I am thinking you suggest the burial date for bitcoin so that our mourning will end.

Go read Satoshi's Whitepaper, because I think you missed some of the core ideas behind this technology. Satoshi saw a problem where current financial payment systems were based on trusting centralized third parties. <Banks / PayPal etc.> He wanted to provide a alternative to these types of payment systems, because he saw the flaws in these systems.

He solved some of the problems that are associated with these payment systems, like non-reversible transactions and biased mediating of disputes by centralized authorities.

Bitcoin was never meant to be a replacement, but rather a alternative solution to a payment system with problems. If it was the perfect solution, then people would migrate to it naturally.  ;)

We only need to be patient , wait for the time that bitcoin rise . We need to be think positive . Always remember bitcoin is a volatile and not stable .

We all know that there is a fluctuation in bitcoin price but this time bitcoin is at its lowest price of 2018. So in my opinion there is no strong increase in its price this year we will have to wait for 2019 at least. This year is buying year for bitcoin so buy as much as you can.

I just think how gold and silver are sliding by banknotes.
and I also think that later the world will no longer use fiat money and switch to digital currency whether it's bitcoin or altcoin but I think the changing times will make it happen.

Yes this is the part of bitcoin that's why bitcoin is losin value i don't care that also is not suprising it. base on my observation do not worry people who investing in bitcoin or people who trading its a part of the job if the bitcoin not losing value what is all about in bitcoin? you need to understand first before you enter in crypto or research by your self the answer is at your you cannot blame bitcoin if you dont want to invest do not try it.

Value of bitcoin is not losing anymore, bitcoin is volatile. The price is only affected but not literally losing it will be decrease and it back again. Falling down of price is normal anytime the price can change, Don't afraid if that happen.

Yes, I agree with your idea. Even bitcoin losing its value or the price of it is raising, I still will continue with it  ;D

it is true that it would be impossible if bitcoin aims to replace all the world's fiat currencies with bitcoin, because not everyone knows about bitcoin and not all areas can be reached by the internet network.

WHEN Bitcoin crashes, the altcoins are going to lose value because people will panic (or take advantage of panic sellers and "short sell" their own stack) with their entire portfolio, not just BTC. It will have nothing to do with the fact that there are so many BTC-altcoin pairs on so many different exchanges.

Well, why not? Bitcoin fell by $ 450 per night, to 7850, and this scenario was begging for a long time. The bear diver is being worked out at 4H, the price has reached the level of Fibo 61.8, the RSI indicator is unloaded after a record value on the diaries this year. In the news fall is associated with failure SEC the brothers Winklevoss in the new ticket on the ETF, it is doubtful. But the failure of the cboe exchange will be painful for sure. I do not rule out the final growth to 9000, this may contribute to the upward channel, now we are at the lower limit, and the hike to 78.6% of fibo, where the correction has the final point. But globally are waiting for the fall, possibly on the news SEC on the transfer of the decision on the cboe

Losing value and volatility are two different things.
I can't agree that bitcoin is losing value but it is highly volatile and from time to time price corrections are happenig, it's inevitable. That is the scenario that we can see now. First we have seen rather high and quick jump and the price has jumped back a bit again.

First of all,bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme and also it was not created by Satoshi as a substitute to all currencies.Its very unfortunate that people have started to recognise bitcoin only as a high ROI giving asset.So most of bitcoin users are not ready to spend it and they just want to hold it.It seems that this mentality could not be changed and bitcoin would be continuously manipulated by the big whales.

if it is true that the initial goal of btc is there, just to minimize the negative value of banking may be true btc has reached its goal but there is nothing wrong if we want more than btc as long as it positively impacts the world economy, indeed if to replace the flat money completely with btc I think it will be very difficult to realize but at least btc and flat money can complement each of each deficiency, it is true very difficult to change the habits and the influence of flat money, because during this flat money is enough to control the system or sale and purchase transactions even be rejected measure the success of a country's economy, indeed our dreams can be said too high but if there is a way to make it happen why not, as long as it is positive and still running using logic instead of fantasy alone I think it does not hurt not

Its true,the up and down btc price is isnt surprising.This year is started in a low price but look at now it seems the price is getting higher.And hopefully it will continue to grow by the end of the year.

I don't think that Bitcoin losing value.
Yes, price BTC dropped and begin recover last days.
This is main crypto currency and BTC has superiority.

can you explain why bitcoin price will drop and eventually go near zero if you say "will continue"

The bitcoin value is beginning to rally and the markets are beginning to show potential hopes and aspirations for both holders and traders of cryptocurrency. To opine that the coin will further lose value is to speculate and to walk in the dark with your eyes covered. Many factors, seen and unseen affect the way the market prices will climb, stabilise and rally.

Now the price started to go down as i think profit takers start to sell in the market but still the price of bitcoin is bullish as if ETF confirms the application then the price can spike up with short term.

Bitcoin's value is not even fully defined if you ask me. It is not fix so if you say it lost it's value, you are pertaining to it's value or face value in the past so as to have a reference of losing a value. Bitcoin is not losing it's value, it is being defined day by day.

Yes, there is nothing to be surprised or scared of when the btc value drops and they make us lose, keep going and hold on to them, I believe they will grow stronger in the future.

I agree in what you've said that people creates fake hope that Bitcoin would replace a fiat currency of country. I also agree that Bitcoin has achieved something that it was intended to do. Because of Bitcoin, a part of the economy has changed. I know that Bitcoin will never replace our current currency because it has so many flaws that could not be fix. But I know that in the near future, a new cryptocurrency would be created to surpass Bitcoin and be the cryptocurrency that the people want.

There Different factors in declining value of bitcoin. As long as the government imposed limitation on this. It cannot go forward. The volatility of bitcoin or the major cryptocurrency makes this a good thing for trading enthusiast.

you cant imagine the comming value loss when crypto will severel damage the value of national communal currencies, the us dollar might completely dissapear its actually even likely same with euros,

no gambling banksters will be left or gambling citizens people will then carefully review the utility of your bitcoin,

and i am afraid you will be considered nothing but a populistic pow sect.

you will also be a convenient scapegoat in third world countries for officials to blame. and to grow their own power,

i am writing with one of my teammembers an article about this comming issue (https://www.cryptoproductivity.com/single-post/2018/05/30/Mark-Our-Words-On-next-food-price-crisis-the-empty-proof-of-woork-cryptos-like-bitcoin-litecoin-etc-will-be-the-welcome-scapegoat-everybody-is-looking-for-and-everybody-will-use-out-of-opportunistic-reasons).

PS:
something i stumped upon today
russia selling us debt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDsaCIjTYbo

us dollar is gone you and your pow sect will eb evaluated then by the utility your token delivers, and you will be considered a pow sect

I, in principle, agree with the view that the age of the bitcoins may be short-lived and that good altcoyins will emerge into the arena, which will no longer be under the price dominance of bitcoin and then this will be a good period for the development of the crypto currency. Many types of crypto-currencies, which are humiliatingly called altcoins, already have very good functionality and are very useful for a person in many spheres of his life. They are durable and promising for the future.

[offtopic] are you part of adab  developer team? [/offtopic]

When the markets rally and the bullish run begins I hope some wiseguy will comeback here to acknowledge they were dead wrong in this kind of statement. If you think, the bitcoin is going to die, you had better thin again!

Pumps and downs are always in some period of time so if we were in down price of bitcoin was going down if we will be in pump like it was for last few days we will be in this pump again in some time so till price will not be stable moves of price will continue for some period of time.

If you think that Bitcoin isn't worth it than why are you still here. If Bitcoin was a ponzi then it wouldn't had lasted this long. This post just looks like a frustrated rant from someone who most likely invested at the top of the market and is now panicking. You aren't the first one to call Bitcoin a ponzi and likely wont be the last, people like you come and go in the Bitcoin world.

The author does not believe in bitcoin and his future, but he willingly spends a lot of time on the forum devoted to it and bitcoin. It's strange, is not it?) I'm sure that bitcoin will please us repeatedly with its growth

Everything has a life cycle. There are ups and downs. Nothing will be keep falling or keep increasing. Look at the price of bitcoin from last December. Btc was rising too fast. It was gone from $6000 dollar to $19000 within a month. I believe bitcoin price will increase soon. Please keep patient and stay focused.

But crypto-alyut is not just one bitcoin. Moreover, why not discuss the existing shortcomings of bitcoin and how to correct it, instead of constantly writing about various serious questions concerning bitcoin that bitcoin was and remains the first crypto currency, it is an eternal leader and other common phrases. Do you think that in such a miserable condition, bitcoin can really become a universally recognized global crypto currency for making various payments for goods and services, even if there is a developed infrastructure for this? Do you think that the bulk of bitcoin holders will give up the idea of ​​earning on the growth of its rate? What is the solution? After all, the current situation is a deadlock for bitcoins.

really, they misunderstand about bitcoin.
they think they can get rich quickly, today invest in bitcoin then sell it tomorrow. then it will get a big profit.
I think that's what they think, they do not really know what the difference is between investment and trade.

bitcoin will regain its status gradually in the future. I think if investors want to get business business bitcoin because it will never disappear

The value of bitcoin now is now increasing and not losing anymore because the trend is now reversed and from the downtrend, it is now on an uptrend and it is a sign that the market is now recovering and it is now stronger than before because the weak hand people are now gone from the market and only the people who have the courage is the one who are left.

I, too, have the same opinion. Bitcoin will continue to strengthen his position, and this will happen due to lower prices for altcoins, money will all flow into bitcoin. At the moment it's better to buy, and not to sell bitcoin and in the future I think bitcoin will grow very much, the price can reach 150k$ before the new decline.

I guess bitcoin losing value is over. Right now, $8,100 and steadily rising. Just as the experts/analysts predicted, the 3rd Quarter will be the start of the ascent to another record high.

Just wait for the bitcoin to increase the price so there's a word HOLD in bitcoin to wait for and check that when the bitcoin price will rise again when you do this way to make money.

We all aware to what was happen on bitcoin, we are very happy that as of today the price of bitcoin is continue increasing and now that we are happy because in a long period of time waiting to increase its price even in a small value i hope it will continue to increase.

Nope, surprising was that day when I woke up and find out that bitcoin is getting $1000 up from the yesterday's price, and it gave me the additional hope that we will be ruling the Kingdom at the end.

The problem with hodling bitcoin (if you are going for long term) is that the future is not yet certain. Who knows if bitcoin would go all the way down to 0; very unlikely but not impossible. Hodling, in a sense, is not a secure way of making money.

Ups and down of the value is normal that is why whatever happened it is not suprising. Let just accept the fact that bitcoin is unstable which we can't totally predict what will happened in the furure.

the political shifts that bitcoin causes are irreversable with the us dollar gone, you folks bitcoin will become a worthless toy. no value measurement here,

dollar destruction is also exposing bitcoin

Bitcoin will always remain unpredictable. Its value spontaneously change each day, it's nothing really new. We should really stop beating the topic that is already long gone.

BTC is indeed losing value, every short-term peak is getting smaller and smaller, and the bottom getting deeper

This has been a good time for the traders, very few has got the ability to predict in a precise manner how the price moves will happen. Traders has the mentality to buy when low and sell when it is high. When it reached around $8400 the buying trend was found high which was the profiting of traders. Now the downtrend has got low circulating supply, which describes it to be the time to buy back.

Bitcoin maybe lose its value when you look at the price in last 6 months. From peak in December until now price is dropping more than its rising, but that is nothing more then trading. Bitcoin doesn`t lose meaning like op says, its foolish to think something like that. What you think that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can take the world over night? Like you buy bitcoins now, go to sleep and when you wake up bitcoins worth a lot and you can use them anywhere?
OP lost the point why he is here. He came here to make profit, but things are not so easy as they look and now he is pissed off and he wrote this nonsense and he expect someone to believe him.
What we have with bitcoins now is alternative to banking system and we have decentralized market, this will take time before it reach all the people in the world, it will take time for governments to adopt it, but what future is bringing will need to have some crypto mark.
If he is so disappointed in cryptocurrencies and bitcoin he need to delete account here and convert all his crypto into fiat and to deposit all that in a bank, why he bother to wrote this things here? What is a point?

Its not solely about the circulating supply because considering the popularity of bitcoin which is still very much less here the supply is tremendously high. If you were to put circulation in the calculation then its right thing but currently we have enough supply and the demand is somewhat decreased which means no movement in the positive direction. The direction will be upwards when this stuff goes vice versa. Bitcoin losing value, thats correct, but its best thing because everyone gets the chance now to jump in and stop arguing about the whole dam bearish thing.  ;)

Obviously there is nothing to surprise about if bitcoin is losing its valuation, I think we kl should know and should accept this thing very well that bitcoin is a volatile crypto currency and apart from being volatile, it is a kind of investment so both these factors plays a very crucial role in determining the valuation of bitcoin that how it will going to flactuates so there is nothing to worry about towards the deflating valuation of bitcoin, I think we all should continue with our investment.

I completely agree that Bitcoin won't be the sole global currency as many would like to believe, but that doesn't mean that it can't exist as a global alternative. It already does cross-border transfers better, it can do fees better, and being different from fiat means owning some is akin to diversification, among other things. It hasn't lived up entirely to its potential yet, but I see no reason to declare its death just because of a little crash. It's going to survive for as long as it has a workable niche.

You're right though, I don't think Satoshi ever meant it to replace all currencies at all.

I am not agree with you on this matter. For me the bitcoins value not going down, actually it is stayin strongly in the market. Look at the last 6 months, all the coins have lost in the cryptocurrency market but bitcoin. The price never went down from $6.000. But if you look at the Ethereum the price went down from $400 to $200..

surely, the value of bitcoin always goes up and down at any time. so I will still trust bitcoin and I will maintain bitcoin investment. Low prices are good to start investing because you can get coins at low prices.

As bitcoin continue its downfall and the unstable condition of marketplace make more and more people, investor and bounty hunter become doubtful about the authenticity of bitcoin and we can't blame them to feel this way.. let's just wait what will happen in the next few years for this bitcoin because there are still hopeful to make a profit out of it.

Of course, it’s frustrating that many altcoins are disappearing and leaving the market because many projects are dying because of the low cost of coins Bitcoin also drops, what will happen next? bitcoin too burst?

Sure, but it is not about coming from 5k to 20k, but rather (if you look at ~2-3 year period 2014-2017) it is about coming down from 1k to 200, staying there for a long time and then going up to 20k.

Just the same, recently we have come down from 20k to 6.5k, and probably we will stay there long time, but we will move to 100k eventually :)

Bitcoin is a digital currency, which every one need to know, like wise other alt-coin in the industries, base on that, many trader and investors are into the system, where we have Demand and Supply structures towards the crypto trade platform, Hence, is not a surprising case, while market keep on fluctuating, Very soon bitcoin we go back to moon.

This is actually what I have realized since I've joined and known bitcoin for quite some time now. Bitcoin will decrease it's value and will surely still increase its value no matter what. That characteristics of bitcoin makes it more special and volatile. It is a natural thing considering it as a cryptocurrency.

I do not see the greatest fall of Bitcoin. It shows a very small volatility. The holders are ready to meet the bull run period already. I believe that we will not wait for it for long.

It is too early to tell about the failure of satoshi nakamoto,and as far as i believe its not hes plan to replace existing currency but to help the whole world in making transactions specially when payments are involved.look at japan they are using bitcoin ss a country currency but YEN(local currency)remains with value,its only that bitcoin and yen together helping the community.

However, bitcoin does have a lot of followers and more people and companies are starting to use it. Therefore, I think that bitcoin can be fully realized as a currency and be actively used in the world.

And I believe that we will use bitcoin as a currency. Yes, maybe it will not be on such a global scale as everyone represents. But some countries have already adopted it, and many countries are on their way. So bitcoin can be used as intended - as a currency.

I still believe that bitcoin will remain relevant and evolve. This is a very successful technology that can be useful for the modern economy, despite all the skeptical protests. Bitcoin will not lose its value, you'll see.

I don't see any practical reasons why BTC should lose its price, it has its brand and people want to own/use it, I think that its price will only grow.

I am believe satoshi vision is not replacing all currency is the world. I am believe he introducing a new monetary system thru bitcoin system. I am believe bitcoin will not losing the value because most country already recognizing it and allowing bitcoin as payment in merchant

losing value in bitcoin is a very ordinary thing in the bitcoin trading, we can see there are many times that bitcoin lose their values, but we can see too that the price of bitcoin or bitcoin never gives up. the price of bitcoin back to normal in some days, so bitcoin is the strong currency, it is very good for us as the bitcoin user

It is the matter of believing in bitcoin whatever it is losing its value. The important is that bitcoin is still the number one in cryptocurrency. I understand the market value that should go up and down.

Do not worry about it. Bitcoin will not vanish from the market. This is the cryptocurrency that has the largest support. The number if BTC wallets is constantly growing.

I think everything created has time and will end and lose value. But there is no denying that through bitcoin popping up a lot of coins that alternate will have value. It depends on our own thinking by using it well and how we store what we have got and will continue to try to find the best.

It is not really surprising and I think we need to continue to gain a huge amount of profit in th e near future this dip is maybe just am opportunity to earn in the near future because buying on this dip is really a big advantage because we can buy more coin in a verry small capital for good.

I agree with this. Bitcoin may be volatile and we cannot blame the bitcoin for the ups and down but then it is the nature of it. We can expect that it will not continuously going to happen soon enough the bull will be seen and this is for sure, this is based on the past market.

I think even if bitcoin os losing value ,but it does not surprise ,because the characteristics of bitcoin and cryptocurrency is so volatile ,this makes cryptos moving in the marketplace and the price vslue is not stable and always changing , we just continue to work and wait for the right time to sell our tokens or coins.

i agree with you. I think bitcoin will keep its down trend this year but it will soon recover in 2019

Every single time Bitcoin tends to lose value. A sharp dip in both USD and BTC value tends to have such an effect in fairly quick succession.There are still some interesting developments taking place behind the scenes which may cause things to turn around fairly soon, depending on what happens to Bitcoin.

I think we're going to swing it at 1000+ for 1 cue ball, speculators very much (he is). But what will end, it is difficult to predict, in any case at the moment the best popularity, but not for the faint of heart.

Bitcoin's volatility is so natural. Most of us know especially the higher rankings and the veteran in comes of investment and the one whose knowledgeable about bitcoin knows that there comes a time that bitcoin holds a less value or nothing at all yet they aren't sad nor panic whenever they heard it due to they know well that it will bounce back at the highest possible value that bitcoin can obtain.

If the price is marking time in one place and does not grow, then the influx of money is over and it will soon collapse. Bitcoin is growing only due to speculation, the arrival of new money on the exchange.

Well It happen sometimes, the coins that we think has value at the end of the day it loses it value because of the decrease of bitcoin in the market place, its really frustating to see after waiting for so long and expecting for a profit only to find out that its gone.

A decrease of quantity would probably mean a surge in price right? Since that would mean people picking up the available bitcoins. Though it's a common happening. How else would the price be volatile if it doesn't devalue every now and then?

  Be an optimistic mate, pumping and dumping must be take as part of a high volatility of the market and it is not surprising at all. We are individually experience about this, just be a positive thinker and all this risky scenario will desist by the meantime.

I think bitcoin will retain its position because most people use it as a means of saving their money in the long run.

Yes, the crypto currency is unstable. And many people do not think about the future buying this or that crypto-currency. For that the world received a push in a new direction of development. Thanks satoshi

yes I agree with you, that is indeed the characteristic of bitcoin. he always goes up and down like the market. something will definitely experience a tide and there will be a time to recede. so I will always be patient waiting for the right time to sell

I have seen bitcoin value up and down several times and for the whole year i was watching crypto market after last year rise i have seen that bitcoin show a growth up to $9000 in the middle of this year and it is expected again that it will grow more in the future like for December again the bitcoin price will rise and i am not surprising when the price fall but i am curious about my investment when the  market fall and for me these investment are everything so i say that bitcoin growth will continue.

Dont mind those stupid noob that has not understand whats this market.is all about,they don’t even know why or what’s happening.

This is volatile market and the value is normal either grow or fall,whats important is how this recovers from the fall..and this is part of proving how healthy the market is

Yes bitcoin value is losing but it is not surprising for me and i think it should not be suprising for anyone else also. Bitcoin flickers alot and is totally unpredictable. Downfall and upturn of bitcoin can take place anytime. No doubt bitcoin's value is decreasing these days but last year also it raised all of sudden. Nothing can be said about bitcoin value so nothing should be suprising even.

Bitcoin reach the highest value on 2017
Yes, I find it's too difficult for most crypto able to uptrend once again because there are many regulation has been made against crypto.

For me personally, I keep hold as long as possible , at least until 2020
When impossible become the chance for us to achieve profit,right ?

In this times bitcoin is losing its value, but no one knows , bitcoin has its down times and up turns. Totally unpredictable, but I cam say now that its loses its value. As time goes by.

This is Always we here when there some people who need to blame because of the failed investment on altcoins, they think holding altcoin give them a lot of profit but when the time comes that it doesn't it will be always bitcoin gets the blame. but its expected because of the bitcoin show recently but this is not a reason to blame bitcoin on what investment failed most of it is altcoins. 

I would like to stop further investment at this time and now the people are investing and it is not surprising that bitcoin show a good movement but it happens in the past several times and now the crypto market is good bitcoin reaches up to $6,571 and it is stable for a month so i am not surprised with this rate of bitcoin and it will continue.

It's true bitcoins is already dropping and not good better enough to hold bitcoin in a long-term from now.
For my strategy its better to conver you're bitcoin to usd to avoid lossing profit from now.

I also agree, the market will definitely recover, which only takes time. on the other hand we must be right not to be too easy to sell if the conditions are already like this, which will surely regret it

I think you are downplaying bitcoin's prospects and opportunities. This unique currency will be able to achieve all its goals, despite all the obstacles that it comes across on such a difficult path of development.

Nevertheless, we all already see what scale bitcoin has reached and realize what growth prospects it still has. It is difficult for him to develop as a currency now, but he does it, and quite successfully. A falling price-not yet an indicator.

Despite all the skepticism that revolves around bitcoin, it is still developing and people's trust in it is growing. And the day will come when the whole world officially recognizes it as a currency and it will be used everywhere.

While some of the points in your post I can agree with, then Bitcoin losing its meaning and value, I just can't agree. I think it is still gathering momentum and more and more people and businesses start accepting it. Each day more people become aware of Bitcoin and aware of the possibilities that come with it. I don't think Bitcoin has peaked and accomplished what Satoshi envisioned. And it is nowhere near losing its meaning or value.

As far as I know, Satoshi just wanted to come up with a new tool for payments. Satoshi was not the inventor of the blockchain technology. But the invention of bitcoin, he suggested to others the idea of new features of the blockchain technology. I don’t think that the creators of new projects want to force national currencies out of the market using cryptocurrencies. Different projects solve different problems.

Bitcoin is not lossing for me it's better and good if the price is lower and its surprising for me also to buy a cheap price of it i can bought.

I really fell that Bitcoin lower price do not give me crazy but definitely give me one think surprising. Because low price right time (holding)& (trading), investment.if we need to good profit,so lower price also give me one surprising for our investment opportunities.

Most have misunderstand about bitcoin and always get panic due to the bitcoin high volatility and naturally they end up being frustrated and uncertain about there investment so they sell but one thing most haven't understand that in bitcoin if there is a fall in value there is a increase too but this time due to the high price fall it might take some time to recover so many think it will never recover so my advice is there is still time no matter what others have to say be little more patience and wait god times will definitely come

I really appreciate about your positive view regarding bitcoin market and without a doubt bitcoin will definitely rise again so the smartest move is to buy more and hold for the future while the price is cheap but many doesn't do that because today bitcoin trading market is filled with newbies and panic sellers who have no proper understanding about core basics about bitcoin and its true potential and most of the time they make negative impact on bitcoin than positive so even experts loose essential opportunities to gain considerable profits by trading bitcoins but I hope these things will change with time

I really do not understand your point! Bitcoin and the altcoin are on the decline, but the market will recover strongly in the near future!

Really it is very shocking to all crypto lovers. Last one year it is very panic to me. One year ago i believed that there some fake news that some people flow in crypto industry and investors sell their BTC or tokens in low price. As a result price go down. But last one year there is no fake news that can demotion BTC price. So what is happening in future that i could not think really. No prediction is working as well as.

Don't lose heart. Be patient and wait some times. This is not a crypto year. Last year was a great achievement of the crypto currency. Hopefully we are going to see the green market again. For this, we should support crypto currency. This the right time for gather crypto currency for the future.

Definitely impossible to say. Bitcoin can grow and break its record, it can also fall.

It is true that bitcoin can't replace all fiat currency in the world, but at least bitcoin can be the best investment to generate profits, and because I feel the benefits of bitcoin, I believe in bitcoin.

Yes I agree that it is not surprising for those bitcoin risk takers. It is just temporary of the market and let us continue to believe it.

Bitcoin price will bounce back and hit higher than the $20k price mark. The history of Bitcoin prices has never been a smooth rise, however, it has proven to grow in price and value cumulatively. Never lose hope, Bitcoin will rise again.

Yeah if there are a lot of regulations still against in crypto, maybe we will still find it difficult to reach that price again in the near term, but once again fluctuations make prices rise and fall quickly, so I myself believe that sooner or later the value will definitely strengthen again for whatever reason..

this also happened several years ago even before the price of bitcoin rose to the month in 2017, bitcoin was already volatile. so it's not supposed to panic, because if the current price of bitcoin is falling, there is a high probability of rising again.

We already profit with bitcoin. In my opinion, the price of bitcoin is still high and reasonable. Remember many people in the past year are only expecting bitcoin to reach the 1k USD and that's the highest they are expecting. And See how bitcoin gain and got to the top. So for me, these situations are still okay to handle and I will still HOLD bitcoins.

When we invested in crypto we assumed that the market is very volatile. When you think you didn't make a wise decision remember the pizza bought with 10k btc.
I think, hey ... it has worse, I could have gave up 10k btc over a single pizza.
Regret is a strong word, but he didn't have how to know that btw would reach so much high value.
However, if you were hungry to death, wouldn't you give them up to eat?
Maybe he was hungry to death lmao

Bitcoin prices rose sharply or fell sharply not surprisingly, because the price of bitcoin was formed by the supply and demand of the bitcoin market players, it cannot be intervened by the government. It is different from fiat money which can be intervened by the central bank, so that money market shocks will not occur. Meanwhile, bitcoin speculators with large capital can at any time pour bitcoin to shake the market, and profit.

There's still tomorrow for me to wait that theres hope to loof for.Maybe for a year bitcoin is losing value now but l believe this coming months bitcoin will survive and everyone will surprise of bitcoin price increase.

From numerous points of view the global financial system depends on trust between people, organizations and governments. One idea to kick around is that we trust in all the computer bits that indicate what number of shares of an organization we possess, how much money we have at the bank and the Mastercard charges and installments for the stuff we purchase. To a vast degree these are computer bits stored as different locations. Bitcoin and different CCs are comparable in this regard. Be that as it may, if the trust in CCs falls apart it will prompt a fall in their prices.

The value of bitcoins in the market is showing signs of growth over the middle of 2018, and it will continue to grow at this level and I fully believe in that. The price increase will cause a new breakthrough for BTC in 2019, I believe in it  ;D.

for the problem of holding and holding and maybe it's a strategy in investing every investor, those who feel confident and have patience, of course, will continue to hold back and wait for opportunities to gain profit in investing

The price is unstable so we have to expect that this kind of situation can happen. Its really sad to see that some of us are losing hope. As an investor we dont only invest , we also need to believe. Never feel hopeless because I know that bitcoin can handle this kind of situation.

Thats right mate bitcoins concept is not a replacemant of different currencies in the world nor an alternative one that can gave us choices on what to use.Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that has alot of benefits but disadvantages as well so we need to be open for every situation since votality were always there.

I do not see any factor by which you can judge that bitcoin is losing value.You just look at bitcoin through the prism of quick profits.Remember how much it cost in the beginning and see how much it costs now?Its value is growing every day regardless of the current market price.

We know that bitcoin price is  unstable so we dont have to be surprised whats happening now. It was on a big down of a price but dont judge bitcoin,  it will recover soon.  Think postive and never doubt  it, those who truly in bitcoin will earn a good result.

Some day in the future fiat currencys will be replaced, not sure if it will be bitcoin but the world's constantly changing itself. And I think that the development of bitcoin an other cryptocurrencys took and take part in that change. It started something. And I believe that there is a future for bitcoin.

Price and value are not exactly the same, the price of bitcoin and most of the other coins in the market has gone down, that is undeniable, but the value of bitcoin has not go down, bitcoin is as valuable as it was before, this may seem odd to some people but it is the truth, the utility of bitcoin remains unchanged despite the low price you can still send transactions without a third party and that has value.

I agree. It cannot replace what we we have before and traditional currency but still it can help to improve our living. There are many benefits that bitcoin could bring that need to see by everyone for them to realize that it is good opportunity that the price us down to buy more volume for them to hold and get profit in the future.

Bitcoin will always be attractive to users, including when prices fall. Some of the bitcoin users expect prices to drop to USD 3,000 because bitcoin will be easily accepted by the public worldwide if the price is not too expensive. After that the price will slowly rise, but not too volatile.

i was right half a year ago and you gimmicks still are too corrupt to work and develop the cryptoindustry in a systematic and consequential manner.

in half year more i will be even more right, just keep observing the changes. when i wrote this topic in jun 03. bitcoin price was at 7600 now its less than 4k we see again at 2k the next halving.

I hope bear market ended and market start to recovery. Its very hard to see market drop more than 90% and i am believe investor portfolio decrease the value and suffering big loss.

I am not surprised by the decline in the price of bitcoin, because it is indeed unstable so it increases rapidly, decreases too quickly. As a bitcoin owner must always be vigilant and analyze the bitcoin price movements because the information that raises the issue of bitcoin can have an impact on the price of bitcoin.

well i bet that as soon as the traders start trying cashing in profits the price will dump even lower than before they did that now around a year over and over again

We are in a bear market and this is normal bitcoin is losing price but why big company and names are starting to get into cryptocurrency? Because they know the value of it and how it will help to run their business in a more convenient way, let's look at the bigger picture and not just on the price because technology is evolving for a better future.

Playing with bitcoin is indeed heart gymnastics, sometimes it rises as fast as lightning and falls down like water, but this is the situation that exists and no one knows predictions every time. For investors who are experienced this is not surprising because they feel familiar with the situation, for new investors to feel shocked and loss because they are not ready and do not have the mental steel in dealing with the situation.

It is true that many big companies that are just starting to join in cryptocurrency. Maybe these companies consider now is the right time to join because the price is also quite low. It also proves that bitcoin is still popular hopefully better future.

jes bitcoin is just in a "bear market".....................  ::)

indeed the current value of Bitcoin is very far different from the end of years 2017 ago and this is currently the worst decline ever. some people have started to not believe in Bitcoin and say Bitcoin will die. I think this not will continue again because the bear market is over and I'm sure Bitcoin will return to its highest value it again.

I agree. Traders may crash the market because that is there strategy to gain profit  in short time. Bearish market will continue and get more lower but still it is opportunity for us to buy at cheaper price again. It will take very long time for price to grow up again.

Yeah it is very possible that prices can drop again to $2k if conditions like some time ago where oversold occurred, demand weakened, supply was too large. of course prices will fall again. before next halving maybe we will see prices going down, but its just my predictions, keep being careful

bitcoin never losing money just now price dumping again come back high price hold your bitcoin come future huge up bitcoin price i belive

Being sceptic is one thing and being absolute about your opinion based on speculation is another thing.

Yes the price of bitcoin falls does not mean that bitcoin will die just because it loses its value, for those who assume bitcoin will die they only spill their disappointment about the crypto market, maybe. But we can see that the market is slowly increasing, I hope this increase will continue to make many people regret bitcoin for leaving it.

There are many people are worrying because of the abnormal movement of the bitcoin in the market. The price of the bitcoin is still down but it is not a mean that it will die because of it. It is true that the market is now recovering and we can now see a lot of good changes.

It's not the worst decline ever. People's expectations after that 2017 run made it seem like the worst decline ever but it's not. Bitcoin will eventually regain it's value and possibly even beyond but it will come in due time.

So how much did you lose on alt-coins?  ::)

Indeed. Bitcoin is volatile and it really reduce its value not the coins. Maybe people thinking that when the price is down it also reduce their money. No its not. Sometimes a suddenly drops surprise us and we can not do anything but to make a decision whether we will sell our coins or hold it for a while. As you said Bitcoin value is never loose its value permanently which is true. Lets just wait and see when the price of bitcoin increase again.

It came into the interest of the people to invest crypto just because of its market value which is high compared in our local currency. Cryptocurrency investment is totally different from any form of investment, in this field, market value is very important to make profit.

Nothing only "altcoins" I hold is waves (doing good) and cpro (stable)

It's true bitcoins is already dropping and not good better enough to hold bitcoin in a long-term from now. For my strategy its better to conver you're bitcoin to usd to avoid lossing profit from now.

jes go on with your "hodling" you have to feel pain and suffer, before any reforms will be possible. 3k is still too much.

that's really true bro. because I myself have seen a lot of people who become millionaires because investing in bitcoin is a lot. and likewise vice versa people who become poor because investing in bitcoin is also a lot. especially in 2018 .

Bitcoin after losing value will rise again, don't be afraid to lose because you can get it back.
Patience and waiting for time to return the loss. And now slowly it will have a good improvement.

I am agree. Right now, people think bitcoin is speculation asset. For some point, i am agree that people can make money from bitcoin volatile because its a market where people want to make profits. I think maybe someday people will realize about why bitcoin created.

What altcoins are you telling?those coins on your folio?lol

Bitcoin will dominate the whole world in future,and about altcoin ofcourse they will stay aslong as they have a originality,good service or product

But i doubt those shitcoins that i am sure will die is sooner time,they have no future instead has been created to mislead people and to scam cryptonians

Things are changing and bitcoin if losing value it is not sure that all the time value will fall and we should move a head like for now people who have crypto they are more good. Bitcoin is the good way to invest your money and if not recognized to the people now soon we will see the permanent use of it in the world.

I think bitcoin will survived and to say short lived might not be really true. The system used by bitcoin was really good except for people who have turned everything upside down. I think satoshi had forseen this and the possible hype that people had about earning money the easy way which was the case when people are not mindful about the real scenario of prices moving up or down. I believe Bitcoin will continue to exist and will be used not for anybody to just hold but for somebody to use on a good purpose.

In the cryptocurrency world the changes of value of bitcoin and other cryptos are no surprise for the bitcoin holders and other people who are veteran on the business are no panic and no worry for bitcoin ,if it will rise or falldown for this is the life of cryptocurrency full of surprises and no permanent standing.

Price is dropping and nothing is new about that. Every second bitcoin price is changing and no one knows if price is falling or rising. Also this year on going mid of the year price rise up and now is dropping.

The one who bought the bitcoins at the prices where lies between hundreds of dollars have no worries but the one who entered with the greed of making money at short time lost everything now,they need to wait for the prices to increase other options will be permanent loss.

i think you are wrong.bitcoin price correction is not new.its going with its circle and you can see price is recovering though still correction not ended.but bitcoin price will definately rebound :)

I agree with you bitcoin never lose the market value. Bitcoin is very unpredictable the value is volatile. We know the value is up and down so that this is normal in one business so don't worry about it bitcoin will rise soon we just wait for it.

it's normal to have dips in investments... but now it is gradually moving up again.

i have hit you freaks so hard with my prediction problem is its still not over. you are in a deathspiral now, bad investor confidence will lead to losses

Sorry, your prediction is now failing, Bitcoin is now starting to rebound, and I believe the green market will come back. Those who maliciously short the bitcoin are only making panic, but this does not scare those who really believe in bitcoin. For crypto, lie and panic can't stop it from moving forward.
I am very confident about the market in 2019, it may be the real bull year.

lol in your dreams i am predicting a long term trend, when i predicted this bitcoin was worth 8k so you have still to double back lol.

This is certainly very surprising because from the beginning of the year prices could decline quite large to more than 50% because that in my opinion we should be able to avoid this. because the current market is down

its not the market, its social support, investor confidence, you are not dealing with a market here but with political and social support.

thats not something periodic.

you want that to believe but are you guys hard and honest to yourselves? nope you arent, you lie to yourselves because it feels mor comfortable.

you bet on it?

You cant say that bitcoin never loose its value because it does actually loose alot of its value ever since we hit january 2018 but you are right this is just normal due to the effects of market volality .

Its no surprising but it is anonnying and verry depressing  to see the price becoming stagnant in 3k and below .

Lets just hope that btc and other cryptos will still make a good comeback before christmas and new year because we all need cash in order to celebrate for these once in a lifetime events .

bitcoin is certainly not going to lose market value, but what happens to bitcoin is only a decline that often occurs. but even though the price of bitcoin often decreases, the increase is certainly still there. so we don't worry if the price decreases. this is also common

indexmafia will crush their entire market, they controll.

Although I disagree with OP's opinion, there seems to be some truth in OP's words. Bitcoin loses value because of the market cycle. The bull market and the bear market always alternate. We can't always encounter a "long-term bull market". It’s like day and night, the sun will always fall and rise again.
If we can accept this considerable fact, we will not be surprised or frustrated. As long as we remain patient and wait for dawn, it will come.

Well.. Bitcoin is in a very unstable period and its price has decreased for some time , but this is what balance means, in 2017 the price was very high and now it's very low..I really hope that the price will come back at least at its normal value and things will get better for investors..

I don't think bitcoin will really be able to replace all national currencies around the world. It sounds like a utopia,. But I see bitcoin as a great alternative to Fiat and other national money, which is already significantly outdated.

It is not necessary to consider the price of bitcoin to the main indicator of its success. The most important thing is that it will continue to evolve, improve and integrate into our daily use. This suggests that bitcoin will recover and return to its previous price position.

Yes, bitcoin price fluctuations and such a decrease are natural for him. But this does not mean that bitcoin is dying. This is part of its development, which we, investors, need to survive. Nothing negative in itself is the fall in prices does not carry.

Every market has times of struggles. But as other people said it does not mean that it will continue till it die. I think if bitcoin surpass this trials. It will be more better than before.

I fully agree with you. Cryptocurrency  market is very volatile and as i repeat and always believe that this volatility , is an opportunity for traders to gain. Sometimes bitcoin is losing too much that its painful to see but yeah, we can survive of this.  ;D

We all know that since the beginning of 2018, Bitcoin has experienced significant price reductions. From my point of view, the strongest reason for the decline in the value of Bitcoin is the large volume of sales in December 2017. At that time, many people took "take profit" because Bitcoin experienced ATH in that year.

And hopefully this price decline can stop after Bitcoin halving in 2020.

people who have experienced price changes up and down during bitcoin life (2009-2018) certainly think that this is a natural thing and have happened several times before, so they certainly already know and anticipate if this happens again, losing value is normal and maybe in the future it will happen the same thing again, because bitcoin has fluctuations so anything can happen right?

Bitcoin is good for investment but people should just stop saying altcoins will die its not true ,many altcoins surpass bitcoin already ,the usefulness of bitcoin is not like those of altcoins ,the difference is there,I will keep investing in both though

Loosing value now in the market would not be surprise to us bitcoin and other crypto holders ,for crypto is very volatile kind of cryprocurrency ,so anytime the coins wull rise its cslue or sometimes also loses its value , and this is crypto, while bitcoin is the leader in the chart for the crypto market , the same also happens to the different altcoins just like bitcoin, but it does not worry for it recover soon.

I believe it recover soon, we all know that the valus is continuing loses. Theres nothing change nowadays we see the movement of price. So inconsistent its better to hold and wait unstead putting your investment in a bank its better to put in in bitcoin and its in top of all coins so bitcoin will never end.

it is a known thing that the bitcoin and blockchain related financial commodities always have their prices going up and down and as such it can not be said that one of either of the bitcoin or altcoin is loosing its value. it is just for a while. we have been through this phase before.

I sometimes don't get people when they get worried and start with all these panic selling. From the creation of cryptocurrency that has actually been the trend from day one. It value keeps on fluctuating just like that. Its time people accept what they are into and cope with it.

Yeah, when reality sets in, most of the time it's really hard to swallow it and find the logical solution to it. As for people dependent of it, we can't blame them, 2017 has open the doors for a lot of noobs investors to try their luck on this market because that time it's very lucrative. Just imagine that year alone, a tremendous leap ~$7xx in the beginning and ended up almost $20K at the end of 2017.

But when the bubble was burst, man it's really frustrating to see the price going on a downward spiral and more people got burned easily. But I always say to myself that once we hit the bottom, the only thing it can do after that is to really go up again and bounce back. Bitcoin is very resilient so I won't be surprised that after this bear market, the price will slowly recover and there will be renewed interest and sentiments will eventually change as the new cycle begins.
