What escape path for Bitcoin?
The value of Bitcoin is still very high . Some problems of bitcoin are difficult to solve as :
- Slow transaction speed
- consumes a lot of energy
- It is banned in some countries
- Price manipulated
Is there a sustainable future for bitcoin and cryptocurrency ?
Bitcoin will become the coin of payment as its purpose is created. Or is it just a game of whales? A financial game with winners and losers

What escape path? What do you mean exactly?
The price is what people are willing to pay for it, not more not less.

I read that shops/stores sell Bitcoin immediately and get cash because of fear of price change.

As Bitcoin is more accepted at shops/stores, Bitcoin selling will be more and bitcoin will come down to $2000 or $1,000

It's not slow. Don't mix up transaction speed with confirmation times. I would even say that Bitcoin is faster than it has been before. As long as miners aren't trolling, the average block time of Bitcoin will remain below the 10 minute mark.

It does and it should. Plenty of this energy is renewable. :)

Still doesn't prevent people from using it. :) Also, the term banned has been subject to heavy abuse by news sources. Bans aren't always bans.

It has always been, just like every traditional market is being manipulated.

Bitcoin has a sustainable future, where I am not really convinced in other coins, but they aim to serve other parts of this industry. Good luck to them.

Perhaps you should start spending Bitcoin in order to see how fast or slow it is. Blocks are coming through like it's a summer sale.  :D

LOL @ 2k or 1k NO WAY is that price ever happening again unless some sort of disaster happens in the crypto space. Just because shops will sell immediately doesn't mean the price will come down, there are plenty of people selling immediately all the time (look at miners). I think more liquidity would actually be a good thing for the market in the long run I mean that's what it's purpose is supposed to be a currency that will be traded 99% of the time....

What do you mean slowly. I think bitcoin is fast in the process and promises only occasional site builders that are less quickly coping with their transactions. And counting working hours so that's the delay

I think bitcoin is an investment that may be very profitable, some of the problems that exist only the value of how much effort we do.

We can have get more potential from bitcoin but it depends the people how to earn more profit. It can help to support for our daily  needs of life because we can have un extra income that s why bitcoin have a very big value to all bitcoiners.

what do ı do?  Complex

Every crypto currencies have the same tendency we all know the bitcoin is anonymous and volatile in nature. For this only we are investing our hard earned money into this crypto currencies. I see you guys are really feel panic about the price dump on bitcoin.
I hope you guys are started into bitcoin by 2017. That time bitcoin rapport is only big spike by taste it these things may be bitter for you but accept it and invest more to taste the profit again.

Did you read about the bitcointalk.org member (wongjack) who wants to sell 8000 Bitcoins because he wants to get out with his $60 million after 2000% price rise.

I believe that the main problem of bitcoin is the lack of relevance of its status in many world states. The absence of legality hinders the growth of the price of the main crypto currency. The unresolved issue of regulation does not allow investors to make major contributions to the development of this coin. Once this problem is solved, for bitcoin, the path to further growth will open.

we hope the government will have a bitcoin policy, especially now that there are many news that the government is fighting cryptocurrency, but we hope this technological innovation can be further developed for a better life.

"high" is so abstract. high compared to what? i can say price of a Lambo is high, i want it to be worth $1 but it will never happen!

value is a concept that comes from utility and demand. and bitcoin has a lot of utility and its demand is increasing. on top of that its supply is small and also limited which makes it even more valuable.
the current price is too low considering.

transactions take 3 to 5 seconds to reach their  destinations so saying "slow transaction speed" is just bullshit.

again "a lot" compared to what? i can say 1 KWh is a lot too and someone else can say a million times that is small.
bitcoin is not wasting the energy. it is using that energy to provide a useful utility: the one and only decentralized currency in the whole world! if it consumes 10000 times the current energy it is still worth it.

yeah 3 out of 195 (1.5%) have banned bitcoin. this is not a problem. even if 195 out of 195 countries have banned bitcoin it still wouldn't have been a problem because bitcoin is a decentralized currency and that is not just a word. if you don't understand what that means read about it to get how valuable it is.

price manipulation happen in every single market that have existed in human history. you can't say it is a "bitcoin problem".

bitcoin is already a currency that is being used my thousands of people every day. a lot of them are using it also as an investment but that doesn't change the fact that it is a currency.
the future is just more adoption, more growth, higher price, more stability, better features,...

 a lot of conflicting issues on your post...anyway, Escape path? we can really understand this statement.. Bitcoin as introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, had gone thru a lot of things in the trading market, just look at the price value of this coin and compared it to the what has become on today's price value. Bitcoin survived the beating on the issue of Banned,Scammer, and the never ending issue on Regulation by the government agency.

And by "we" you mean who exactly? NOT me, that's for sure. They can go fuck themselves, those governments you talk about.
I hope they will leave bitcoin alone, not a single damn law is needed for BTC benefit nor its users. In fact i have a strong feeling that any law "they" pass will horribly harm us and bitcoin image. Judging based on socialistic trends, they will be after your stuff, your btc wallet but thanks to satoshis pure genius, it wont be as easy as they would want it to be.
As long as we stay anonymous with our wallets, there is sustainable future for bitcoin.  

The absence of legality brought us to $20,000 from $0.10 in 9 years, I am sure that it can easily surge much more than $20,000 if it continues to be out of the radar of governments and regulations. The main reason why Bitcoin took dive downward by 70% is due to increasing pressure by governments on its use. For example, Indian Central Bank has commanded banks in India to stop giving services to local exchanges, henceforth Indian prices fell by $1600. So it is better for Bitcoin to remain outside the legal status and move freely in unregulated markets. Only this can ensure its stability in long run.
What actually requires regulation is ICO and anonymous raising of money via ETH and other cryptocurrencies.

What escape? what do you mean by that? did bitcoin put you in jail or something?

So you mean that the big dips aren't enough to satisfy you?

Enough with these "problems" how about those other crypto's do they don't have their own "upgraded" coin but problems are still existing.

Did you forgot to add deaths of bitcoin?

If it doesn't have, why are you here? you gave the problems of bitcoin and you'll ask this?

Judge on your own.

That's true some of the advantages and advantages of bitcoin value but some believe it will be very demanding because the value is very large and including me who believe in bitcoin.

What nonsense is this. The future of bitcoin will continue, what we are feeling is the technology. Ease in transactions we can feel now. For the price I think it is reasonable because the price always fluctuates, so this is not a problem.

Yes just wait for another world breaking record for bitcoin market price in the year ending 2018. There could be some another break out and we should wait for that as we all know that bitcoin has making a loud noise on social media that even high ranking officials or influence people had some comments on it. Which means that cryptocurrency especially bitcoin is well establish. It is just that people are still looking on the right time to invest in bitcoin.

With what is happening, it is becoming a game of whales. It seems the market is under complete control. I do not even see a chance for bitcoin to grow like last year.

Let's agree that there is a game for whales but these whales will also love to see bitcoin's on high again.
And with the speculations being told for so many times which are basically positive prices, whales will have to do something for them to reach it. If you don't see a chance for bitcoin to grow same with last year, what are you planning then? Bitcoin's value is different from it's price, the value of bitcoin is growing the more people and businesses adopting it which makes the price goes up too so doubt your doubt.

I am convinced that this bitcoin in its manufacture can be a digital exchange tool in the future, and future bitcoin and cryptocurrency will be bigger and growing, for whaling problems, despite having lots of money and plans, I am sure that they will not be able to destabilize bitcoin, let all be alert and do not be influenced on what each whaling do, so what will be done them, will not affect this cryptocurrency

Yes the bitcoin value is still high for me too, even though the market is falling. Those problems should be quickly overcome if bitcoins are the coins of the future, at least make bitcoin transactions faster and give high support to bitcoin in many countries, so I'm sure bitcoin will become stronger as well as its possible price alone will be stable and will increase faster after the fall of the market as it is now.

A lot of the problems that you have raised are perfectly answered by 1Referee. Of course, it doesn't mean that bitcoin is something perfect. Nothing is. However, I think it's probably the best global currency and certainly the most promising cryptocurrency available to us at the moment.

I don't actually think that bitcoin replacing fiat altogether is going to be likely in the future.

But I do think that bitcoin can have a sustainable future serving alongside fiat currencies as an alternative, with more adoption by merchants in the future. It'll also be able to serve a nice niche of users whose main goal is to preserve wealth with BTC, which bitcoin is good at since its supply is decentralised.

Bitcoin is the decentralised concept,So I think bitcoin will not controlled by any whales.Due to the demand and supply the price of bitcoin is varying . Don't worry about the reduction,use that choose chance to buy huge amount of bitcoin.When the price increase don't buy,just sell your hold bitcoin.

This is something not so big. At least the technology is giving great profits to those who invest and act rationally. Besides, with the same transaction speed and in the presence of so many manipulators, many earned and cashed in billions and still are hopeful about the future.

It is not about how hard time you face. In the end what maters is only the money and a lot of people are getting it. However, with the expansion of technology, these problems might also subside.

Maybe this current market condition is just the background for Ethereum to became the number one, right now bitcoin would fall, and after that Ethereum will grow up to become the first and only, lol.

yes it is not a fatal problem for me because as time goes by the more sophisticated there may be improvements that can solve all the problems in cryptocurrency, I am sure this will be good in the future then have to be patient in facing this situation because conscious unconscious in this case Rotation there many people manipulate every move that takes place, the loser is a new person in the crypto world and the winner is a very strong and intelligent person, professional in processing profits, so choose to be a winner or a loser.

Bitcoin unstable price is the reason why only a few merchants accepting it as mode of payments.If there's another way that we can established a stable or fixed value of bitcoin much better so we can practice its purpose as payment rather than investment.Anyway,we can earn BTC thru token-exchange from bounty campaign we are joining.What makes bitcoin popular is because of its high value and I do believe that some investors are already losing their money investing in it.I hope I'm wrong saying this that bitcoin slowly loses its value and that someday it is only used for payments and purchases.

Bitcoin will be sustainable depending on how the people are going to react on the drastic changes in prices, cryptocurrency is always profitable because the market is volatile.

The volatility has nothing to do with merchants being interested in accepting Bitcoin or not. Their exposure to the volatility is zero with how they use services such as BitPay to take that exposure away from them.

Currently there are hundreds of thousands of merchants already accepting Bitcoin and it continues to grow further in terms of merchant adoption. The majority of them get 100% of their sales directly converted to fiat, risk free.

The thought of Bitcoin becoming worth more in the next months prevents people from spending. The mentality has always been that spenders are losers. They are technically, but coins can and should be bought back.

it is interesting to find out the weaknesses of bitcoin very clearly what are the deficiencies of future economic development, if only become a new form or as a currency that is converted to digital why only that target, while access and the way to trade still has to be dependent on electricity and the internet, what about or when we are in areas that are not reachable both, and if these are all built by just on the basis of my quick profit we need to be analyzed more sharply and strongly, but here I am just trying to see both the good side of the advantages and disadvantages of crypto when it is only made that way alone maybe in the future there will be more functional innovations from the present, hopefully useful and successful for all of us

I think bitcoin is a long-term  investment. People will see advantages of bitcoins.

I think the future of crypto still widely open, crypto opening a new door to enhance and develop a better businesses, but bitcoin still need some improvement, for now the transaction speed is already good, and with the integration of lightning network the problem will be solved, energy consuming seem won't be a big problem in the future there are a lot of free and green energy source that we can used, I think bitcoin got a big future, see how bitcoin keep on standing tall after being hit with a lot of negative news

As my experience I can not say any problems of bitcoin when it comes to transaction process impact I was amazed because all my transaction done in a minutes. And I feel comportable with bitcoin. And I think right now there is no issues about banning bitcoin in other country's. But I guess this is a fake news.

True, but if one person holds the biggest part of the pie... Easy market manipulation etc.
I agree with the fact that demand and supply the price of bitcoin varies, but in the end, if one of the big players decides to do a sell-off, market prices will go down hard.

Bitcoin should be kept for a long time for quality and development of Bitcoin, when the cost of Bitcoin is low, then it should be kept back and when the price goes out, then it will be sold.Bitcon.

Slow transaction problem has almost been solved by active implementation of segwit 2x.It has been banned only in few smaller economic countries and that would not have any impact on its future.Price manipulation has been a continuous issue but it would exist until newbies selling in panic exists.Bitcoin would be used for payment purpose but only to some extent as its supply is limited remaining unchanged.

When is the last time you did some transfer? Do it again.


Still not a wasted one.


How can this be solved? Let those countries who banned bitcoin remained out of the game. Bitcoin can proceed without them.


It's different than before. Bitcoin are now distributed to different persons globally so it's not easy to manipulate it now. What are we seeing is the effect of the started trigger whether pump or dump by the whales. You need a literally billions to manipulate now the bitcoin market.


I believed.

I think bitcoin becomes more valuable when we consider it as a long-term investment because we can really gain huge profits from holding it patiently.But let's also consider the true value of bitcoin which is to become a global currency in the near future.Remember it's the main goal of having a cryptocurrency and making it as an investment will just fall on the second option.

The value of cryptocurrencies are not in a good state this is due to many reasonss but the investors definitely stable for some time it will be there right understanding from cryptocurrencies because this is my opinion.

If we are going to invest in bitcoin dont look its present value, look for the future value. It's good to have a plenty of patience if we are investing in bitcoin, and we need to take the risk to gain more profit. It's good to invest in long-term. We also need to remember that there's a lot of things we can do with bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital curenccy that we can use trough internet transaction.

I think that in the transaction it is quite satisfied but we are always here in the punch by the popes so we always get stuck in the prediction of the price, we better do the mining than the trade because in trade will make us hurt.

Bitcoin will remain, it will be used as a medium of exchange soon in the future. Some stores are using and accepting bitcoin payment and soon there will be huge demand as soon as it is widely used and adapted by everyone. Countries are banning because they are not yet fully aware of the real scope of bitcoin.

since the beginning bitcoin was created to overcome the economic problems in the world, but gradually its function changed into various forms
I think bitcoin will continue to prevail until 2030

Bitcoin value is very low at present so we can say that it is the best time to buy new coins .Take it in positive sense.I don't understand why people are selling their coins at such a low rate.Don't look at the present market value of bitcoin look at its future scope.Bitcoin is a long term investment.We should see that in coming decades their is a chance that bitcoin will be the most important and global digital currency in the world.Just have patience and just hold your coins in order to gain a huge profit in future.

That's why cryptocurrency is invented and yet people still thinking about just making money here because they thought cryptocurrency only good for that one. Bitcoin will increase its value in the future and if you are still holding bitcoin your futute will be good.

bitcoin ecosystem are more likely for a transaction method or payment. but people looking in this as a investment method in them. if many people are investing in bitcoin and make bitcoin too much out with it ecosystem it can make bitcoin suffer too much

Most of people are talking about the main reason which is the demand rate that controls the value of Bitcoin. The current value is 6k dollar which is still a low value and the conditions are favorable for the buyers. Moreover the low value is a benefit for buyers because it is very easy to get large quantity coins on the usage of low amount. All we need is to collect large quantity coins from this market which will payoff.

I don't see bitcion transaction is slow maybe you've ever send money to someone.Try to use other transaction like pay-pal or bank transfer they'll gives you a lot time while bitcoin has no time limit they're fast easy and send money with more speed than anyone.Anyways even if they banned but people can't stop it its banned in my country but i still using it believe me it doesn't matter

This is not a low value, in fact Bitcoin has been below this value for 90% of its life (maybe more). You're comparing it to its insane all time high and concluding it looks cheap from here, while people were doing that when it fell to $15,000 and $10,000 too. Yet it continued to drop because it wasn't cheap at those levels, it was still insanely overvalued. The point is, you can't arbitrarily look at the price at any given moment and have any rational basis for whether it is over priced or under priced. This assessment is only something that becomes apparent with hindsight. You could be falling into a bull trap with this type of thinking, which is just looking at price trends and concluding that because it's fallen so much, it's about to start going up when in reality it has only paused its descent and will soon resume falling. Trading is far riskier than anyone buying Bitcoin at these levels understands or acknowledges.

The last time I checked, confirmation time is very quick. Haven't you heard about a $300 M transaction with $0.04 fees, confirmation in about 4 minutes? https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/39afcad6c4d0713ed291014315c4dcf2d81334275218c28fd354af45b7395c61.


I don't know when investors started to become very alarm about mining consuming energy. I suspect that this is just another argument to throw off investors.


That's their own choice. We cannot control them.


Debatable. Any particular whales you are aware that manipulating the price from behind?


Of course its sustainable, the last bitcoin is not yet even mine and it will took many years before we can achieved time. I don't think that its a game of whales, because others have used to pay online, including myself.

Bitcoin transaction isn’t slow, whenever I exchange altcoin become bitcoin doesn’t take so long even my transactions are successful under 8 minutes. Maybe you can try to exchange your altcoin into bitcoin or use bitcoin in some companies that accept bitcoin as payment.
Bitcoin also has a good future but cannot be sure because bitcoin’s journey to a good future is still long. There are still many countries that ban bitcoin.
Yes it seems you are right. Most people just want to earn profits from bitcoin without thinking long that the price decrease can make loss and panic to sell bitcoin. Bitcoin is very extreme where the price rise and down drastically. Like a few days ago bitcoin was dropped to $ 5,800 and I'm sure at that price many people panicked and sold it. Today there must be a lot of new investors because the price has rebounded to $ 6,400 and that's where new investors buy from what has been sold by bitcoin holders who panicked seeing the price keep decreasing.

Bitcoin is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it. This is the same for anything in life. At the moment, Bitcoin is valuable, despite its recent setbacks.

 I've heard that til 2021 the last bitcoin would be mined, and then I suppose we would get rid of those problems that you have listed here, but till that time, we can only manage those.

Yes I agree that Bitcoin will still be the best coin to be used for payment purposes and same as having a safe investment compared to Altcoins wherein they are dependent on Bitcoin. Since cryptocurrency is a community based asset then it can be manipulated by big players. I value the importance of Bitcoin because I know that one day it will give you and me a financial freedom. All my Altcoin investments will always be converted to Bitcoin because it is a much safer coin.

I don't know where you got that information from but it is wrong, there is still at least  20% of the bitcoin to be mined and the mining difficulty is adaptive, meaning that it increases if people mine a lot and decreases if there are few people mining it. slow transaction in the bitcoin network are just a result of high traffic, but it is promised that soon there will be a launch of the lightning network technology that will allow sending and receiving transaction instantly, which will definitely make bitcoin great again.

For sure Bitcoin will become a worlds digital currency and will be used all over the world. Many people are taking interest in Bitcoin due to its high profits and value. It is the most stable currency in the crypto market and has a large number of users all arounf=d the world. Surely Bitcoin will be highly demanded digital currency in the future.

Nope. The last satoshis will be mined somewhere in 2140 and we all with a very high probability won't be able to see the shift from block subsidies to complete transaction fees. I would love to see it happen, but we don't even know if Bitcoin or crypto in general is still a thing by that time. I believe that if Bitcoin & co at some point are replaced, then it's not coming from other crypto currencies, but from a whole different technology doing everything in a far better way. I strongly hope that lightning network will work as we all hope it will work, because that helps the blockhain to remain relatively small even when we're decades away from now.

The block rewards will be made up of mostly transaction fees for a very long time before the actual last satoshis are mined. There are two things working together to make transaction fees take up a larger and larger portion of the block rewards over time. The first is the continual halving of the block rewards and the genesis of new coins through this process. The second is rising transactions and the corresponding rise in transaction fees. If the last satoshis will be mined in the 2140s, the transaction fees will constitute the majority of the block rewards for decades prior to that, if Bitcoin remains viable that long.

You know it will be very difficult to sole these problems without the expert knowledge of the developer of this bitcoin. Energy consumption, slow transactions are more technical to deal with lets leave it to the expert. As for the issue of governments not accepting or banning bitcoin, this has to do with the fact that speculations are going round the world that bitcoin is used to fund terrorism.

BTC is now one of the most popular currencies in the world.Many people want to get into busniess with him.The value of the BTC is constantly changing, which is very good.Many people all over the world are constantly following the stock market, because their financial situation depends to some extent on that.

The price right now is quiet dumping again, but still the whole technology of bitcoin really makes a different. Yes, many big businesses now are wants to adopt the whole blockchain technology, and for sure bitcoin is one of them. Lets wait for more years and this dream will become reality.

How do you know that bitcoin transactions speed is slow? Only need a few minutes to send bitcoin anywhere in the world. If bitcoin consume a lot of energy then bank system and other remittance agencies are spend a lot of energy and also money to complete every transactions for their customers.

Bitcoin is a big value for all consumers who join us like this but the main reason is the cooperation of a team such as the value is too much changing day and day the technology is not gain if it will be continued for this coming many years.

Bitcoin value spends on the volume of the investors in a market place it really depends on the. Volume of users and it popularity. So then I believe that the bitcoin will soon rise because of its amazing past growing economy it will really become more trend and more profitable in the near future so let's hold it in this huge di.

I dont think cryptocurrency is game from whales. Its real market with real peoples involve. Bitcoin just 9 years old and i think bitcoin have much time to grow and having regulation. Government must be considering bitcoin if many peoples transaction using bitcoin

bitcoin values occur when there are buyers and sellers interacting with each other, when there is no buyer and seller then bitcoin will never have value.

In my opinion, it is sustainable for the development of the economy. Just think of the positive way because it really has a value. Problems that being encountered is just minimal it can be develop more or enhance.

i think it is completely untrue. whales can still play around the price because they have big funds. and we know that bitcoin prices, purely influenced by the number of purchases and the amount of sales

Bitcoin doesn't have the characteristics that traditional currency should have, so I don't think Bitcoin can replace French currency!
The field of application of Bitcoin is by no means a real commodity such as food, house or industrial goods.
The future positioning of regional chain currencies should be virtual goods.

Volatility is the level of change in the price of a transaction over time. Volatility is related to the level of uncertainty or risk in the value of an asset that is the value of bitcoin we need to understand.

Two years ago, a Bitcoin was worth only $ 5. A year later, its value reaches over $ 1000 and at the moment is around $ 6000 you see that their value goes up to 1000 times the value.

The values of the bitcoin is loss in again and again we called it the last stage of bitcoin but anything can happen with the crypto currency so please wait some more times.

c'mon people, we all know that bitcoin is a continuing process, the op is like he just jumped in a while ago, everybody knows that bitcoin is swarmed with speculators who panic sells everytime they see the market price fall, those people creates a wave that we thought as whales, they create trends, that resulted the downfall of the price, as for being banned in some countries, bitcoin started in the digital world, but now many countries are adapting the technology, and continues to grow in numbers, more and more countries are expected to trade bitcoin and accept it as a purchasing medium like fiats, as for transaction speed, bitcoin is has the fastest transaction, imagine how slower other coins are when you are trading them.

first thing is, bitcoin is slow in transaction speed, because it is not just the speed, but the security.

second, consumes a lot of energy because of the network traffic per transactions.

third, it is banned because of some reasons in each country, some of them are just afraid to lost their country wealth by investing in crypto currency and to be pollute of some illegal activity to be exist when they adot this crypto currency.

and last, price manipulation, whales are the kind of investors who owned a large amount of coins in each project, therefore at their current influence (have wealth) they can takeover/manipulate the price on what ever they want, it is really happen in all crypto currency and not just in bitcoin.




yes, because some of the project are not just related on investment, some crypto-currency projects has their own product to be sold, and the others are can be use onto their own platform like gaming, gambling, lending and so on in virtual.

All of these problems arises from Bitcoin being the first of its kind in the world and also is very very young as a currency in itself. That being said, given time Bitcoin and any other crypto currency will become stable enough that investors will be more than willing to adopt it in their businesses. What matters is time, time enough for Bitcoin to be stable.

What do you mean slowly. I think bitcoin is fast in the process and promises only occasional site builders that are less quickly coping with their transactions. And counting working hours so that's the delay

This is obvious from current numbers that bitcoin is showing such drastic change in people behaviors. There have been so many news things came in market for so long time but people never shown up for anything like they did for bitcoin. Thousands of people are entering in bitcoin world every day. So don’t just worry and time is coming around. Pack yourself up for big profit.

The most used, the most known and simply everyone wants to be a part of it. If you are to buy any other token or coin, you simply will have to get bitcoin first to exchange with those assets which makes bitcoin more like the centerpiece of everything.

We just need to be patience, see how things evolve gradually rather than just expecting some speedy development that ends up being shabby in the long run. Over time, I believe things will get better, mass adoption will kick in and some of the things we keep complaining about now will be the things of the past and maybe by then we will start looking at more advanced problems.

If I think bitcoin is very difficult to be a legitimate payment tool and maybe this bitcoin will deviate from its main purpose because now many of them are using bitcoin as a place of investment not as currency

bitcoin ecosystem are more likely for a transaction method or payment. but people looking in this as a investment method in them. if many people are investing in bitcoin and make bitcoin too much out with it ecosystem it can make bitcoin suffer too much

Do not worry, all the problems that bitcoin has now are solved very soon and I believe that bitcoin will become a national crypto currency and will not just be a whale toy. All the latest news confirms my words.

yeahh it is so clear that for now and   i guess for a while it is not going to last forever its price is sooo much down and lots of users are in panic also sometimes i think that my money is going to fail for nothing but then i realize that it is not going to happen it is just another wave that happen once in a year so i keep calm ...

Yes,BTC value is give some fear. The last few month wasnt really good but it will be change. I hope.

Transaction of bitcoin has become too fast now as it charges fees but the fees is not too high, it is very easy to pay it for such fast and safe transaction, bitcoin is spreading all over the world and more people are now involving it, now bitcoin access is being down all over the world, which is increasing the value and the price of bitcoin even higher and higher, I think soon we are going to see a valuable increase in bitcoin price.

Bitcoin value is now fairly high because it has an official status recognized by international. And bitcoin has been recognized as an international currency. That's been acknowledged and in use transactions in dunia.semakin bitcoin value higher because it is widely used and useful wherever where .

At present, the BTC value decreases more strongly than at the end of 2017, but in terms of value, BTC is still the leading coin on the market and we can see that today's market continuously decreases the BTC value also decrease by.

Very popular as my four year old kid few days ago was even asking me what bitcoin is ?
It is spreading, either with respect to bad news or good news, all over the world, people are getting the full gist about bitcoin and that is a good one.

What we need is further development and most especially when it comes to the scaling stuff, so as to help bring about the idea of real life usability and therefore help with demand. The more we get demand in play without the fear of the network getting congested, the better.

Bitcoin are still get to recover because of so many issues that can affect the price of bitcoin. And I think this issues can not destroy the popularity of bitcoin. Because their are so many people who really give their support and trust bitcoin as one of the greatest future currency world wide.

Take note that bitcoin was first introduced on 2009 and the price value is just a couple of hundreds and look at it now. Time really matters the most same with the timing when buying or selling cryptocurrencies.
Everything will be going on a process which bitcoin is onto now, change is constant just like the price variation.

The value of bitcoin is evaluated through the trust of the user. It will be of great value if people believe in it and vice versa, it will be of no value.

All of these negative speculation of about Bitcoin is not big deal
Because why until now people are still love and still use of Bitcoin. This is enough evidence that Bitcoin is still alive and encouraging.

If everyone in the world does not believe in bitcoin then the bitcoin value will be zero. So the value of bitcoin depends a lot on the trust of the people.

Hello
Have you ever invested in the bitcoin market yet?
  And you realize the benefits and the bitcoin value you get when you invest in them with a certain amount of capital.

I think that at this time it is hard to figure out the true value of bitcoin, you can see the market is constantly fluctuating and it is hard to guess, bitcoin and altcoin prices are constantly recovering strongly in the days passed.

But you can see that bitcoins are still very few in the world, so bitcoins are not controlled by the government and will lead to bitcoin prices being manipulated by whales and sharks.

Bitcoin opens a path for newer innovation due to its presentation of the blockchain technology. That being said, I believe that bitcoin can be more utilized once the blockchain has been more integrated into our lives.

I think in the future the bitcoin and crypto will continue to grow even better because the technology created by the projects of each crypto coin has its own purpose and will be of great use later as well as its own bitcoin, although now there are still many problems which is difficult to solve but I am sure in the future it will be better. in say only the game is not in deny again there must always be a game behind this all, just us as its users do not know who and what their purpose with this game all.

Also one of the things that we need is a time for a bitcoin to develop more and we are definitely up to see New Horizons in the development process soon. It needs to improve.

Altcoins can be a solution for you as well. You can examine the DGB, for example, or the LTC. We are always favored as Ethereum.

Maybe I will survive whatever happens to Bitcoin because with this bitcoin I can be a successful and earn a lot of money and the goal of bitcoin into currency then this will be difficult to realize even now many people are making bitcoin as an investment place

First of all bitcoin is a dream accomplished. Second the main objective of it is decentralization so as far as i see it is for intreat for the comunity, it represent the early stages of a new economy.

Bitcoin is completely capable of becoming a currency used popularly in most  parts of the world. Always, the price and value of bitcoin are much higher than any other coins. You know, most of people here and there who joined in this environment, has gained the benefit from bitcoin and many more coins. This digital currency, appeared 9 years ago, we thus has no doubt that it will have a bright future. Nothing can stop me believing that bitcoin can used for payment widely. If you keep doubting about bitcoin , it's purely the reason prevent bitcoin from getting accepted.

Bitcoin transactions speed has been resolved by the lightning network making it cheap and faster. And mining bitcoins is slower this days and consumes lots of pwer because of the increase difficulty but you can mine other altcoins then convert it to bitcoin. Bitcoin can never be banned as long there is internet. And the price manipulation has some advantages also cause you can buy cheap coins.

precisely this is what everyone expected, with unstable bitcoin prices, then people can take profit. such as buying when prices fall, and selling them when prices rise.

Bitcoin value is now fairly high because it has  an officials status recognized  by international.so the bitcoin depends a lot on the trust of the people.

Bitcoin's value has increased a bit and this is a great news for all the users and investors of bitcoin.Bitcoin's reputation has been going down due to the fall in price.The market of bitcoin has also been reducing.The cryptocurrencies are suffering from losses from some time.The governments and central banks are also not supporting bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as they are decentralised and non taxable.Bitcoin is also capable of becoming a currency as it is used by a large percentage of people all over the world.Due to its value only bitcoin has become this famous.

I want to share with you my latest discovery - Socratus. It is an insurance ecosystem which provides a digital platform with instant claim payment products for insurance companies. It is designed to help insurance companies to save their money and get their business on a new level. For instance, they can help the insurance company to lower expenses from 15% to 25% on claims handling and operational expenses. Basically, they work with different kinds of insurances such as e-commerce, cyber insurance, personal accident and etc. Moreover, they are powered by Smart-contracts & Socratus Oracles. I think this is really cool and it seems like an innovative and demanded project. I hope I helped.

It is even always funny how people get to criticize bitcoin transaction speed every single time and trying to compare it with another coin that is not being used on a large scale. Considering the number of transaction that is going on every single day on bitcoin network, I wonder if we get to see some of these other coins being used that way, we may not end up starting to see some lapses thereabout.

Taking a look at how Ethereum played out during the crypto-kitten saga is enough to let everyone understand this is a gradual process but does not mean we aren't progressing.

Just an unreasonable reason to say the bitcoin’s transaction is slow, try it first to see if it's true that bitcoin’s transaction is slow you can just say it with proof.

The impact of cryptocurrency on society is not yet fully realized and will not be felt immediately. Despite the creation of the cryptocurrency, it hardly came to the surface of society. Most people have not heard about Bitcoin and how virtual currencies work. But a large number of sellers are already beginning to collect bitcoins as payments. And it's only a matter of time, when many others of them do not follow suit.

Escape path? Why? The price is not dropping. I don't see any indicators that the price is going down. Why there is even a talk about an escape path.
And it's very simple, the price of the Bitcoin is the value someone is willing to pay on the market. The Bitcoin is still a very valuable asset on the crypto-market. So, maybe the will fluctuate in the future, but I think the Bitcoin will still stand there.

Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money. bitcoin networks are still relatively young and not ready to cope with payments on a large scale, maybe today we have not been able to see the bitcoin can solve all the problems faced related to the slow transaction. but, did not rule out the problem can be overcome because bitcoin is an open network that is in the development stage. then, related to the legality of bitcoin that is not accepted in some countries. I would say that in general, new breakthroughs are usually considered controversial before the benefits are fully understood by the public.

BITCOIN VALUE IS APPRECIATING ON DAILY AND THEY ARE GAINING NEW GROUND OF ACHIEVEMENT. THE VALUE OF BITCOIN IS RISING WITH GREAT EXPECTATION FROM IT LIKEWISE THEY ARE GAINING MORE FOLLOWERS

Bitcoin has a bright future and it will continue to improve and develop for the sake of all people using using. The value of bitcoin is very significant for every investors and whatever may happen to the market bitcoin will remain valuable coin in the world of crypto.

So many judgement about bitcoin price but even it has many issues claims future still varies from the users. Yes it is high because of bitcoin popularity. Bitcoin value I think of surges high this year so I really beliene in bitcoin future.

The bitcoin value depend on the number of people who are holding it I guess, some of them are long time holders and kept their coins for a long time, waiting for it to grow in the future.

The value of bitcoin depends on many factors. The most important factor is the trust of the people in bitcoin. The more bitcoin they believe in, the more valuable they will be.

Are you really sure about it? Then why are you still in cryptocurrency if all you see is negativity in it. Is there any proof that the Bitcoin price will go down to $2000 and less so that people will believe in you.

The bitcoin value will depend on the process of the community, to its holders and the persons behind the manipulation on the market, it will only depends on the community.

Bitcoin value will always depends on the community who are holding it.

    Bitcoin is still valuable despite of many dumps happened. It's value remains higher and it will continue to increase. I believe there is still a huge demand of bitcoin and it is the reason behind bitcoins value because a lot of people keep on using and patronizing bitcoins even it fluctuate repeatedly.

Bitcoin value is increasing for these past few days. As of today, it breaks into $8,000 per bitcoin. This is good news for bitcoin investors who take rest. Bitcoin enthusiasts are starting to go back with bitcoin seeing the bull season.

maybe bitcoin is banned for daily transactions by some countries that have not received full payment of bitcoin but if used as an asset is allowed. and true even in banned not always banned

The value of bitcoin for me is pretty high because of the features of bitcoin which the other type of cryptocurrencies have and one of the best feature of bitcoin for me is, it is unhackable because there is no case for bitcoin that it is been hacked directly of a hacker and not a hacker that hacks a website to get some bitcoin, i am talking about direct hacking to its blockchain. So it is really secured.

Looking at the start of everything and where we are now, it would actually take someone who does not have any reasoning to think bitcoin has been slow in development process or in value.
Yeah, we may not be where some of us want us to be yet, but we sure are not where we used to be as a lot of things having changed in this regard and rather than being grateful about that, a lot will never just stop criticizing. If they feel another coin can do it better, no one is simply stopping them. Let's see how far it goes before we start hearing some stories eventually.

Because of Bitcoin my life makes me fell better like a brighter life. I can buy anything what I want in my life, I can buy house and lots for my own, I can finish the education of my sister. That's why I can say that Bitcoin has a big value for me.

In my opinion, Bitcoin has changed the lives of some people, to whom for the better, and to whom for the worse, but the whole life should not be tied up in the crypto.

Especially the beginner of this forum. ;D

Depends on who are holding it? It's all depends on the community that support it and how to used it.
Such as using it as a currency but more than that we should consider it as an investment.

I do not believe that bitcoin is a currency for which I can buy bread in the store. I believe it is a valuable crypto asset that contributes to the accumulation and enrichment of its custodian.

The problem with the transaction speed and the fees is about to be solved so do not worry about it, second the issue of the energy is grossly exaggerated if you were to add all the energy consumed by the financial sector and if we were to scale bitcoin to that size bitcoin will be a lot more efficient than the financial sector, third bitcoin is banned in some countries but, who cares about that? And finally the price can be manipulated but that happens in all the markets.

We are thinking too much about bitcoin. As a result, everyone produces a different scenario. In fact, he would have followed a smoother path if he had not heard so much about himself. Everyone has a problem. Some do expensive, some complain about the transaction fee, some because they are not legal in their country. These are pretty normal things. I think the value of bitcoin will depend on how everyone will step forward for the future.

What does this even mean? If you were to add all the energy consumed by the financial sector? What energy does the financial sector use? Second, the criticism on Bitcoin is that it uses all this power for virtually no good reason. It is necessary based on the way it is constructed to consume all this power to run the decentralized network, but essentially nobody needs the decentralized network because it's not solving a real world problem that was needing to be solved. Centralized systems do what Bitcoin does for such a fraction of the power needs it wouldn't even be measurable. That's the criticism on the power front. The analogy to the financial system is puzzling because the "financial system" isn't a defined network like Bitcoin is, and the power consumption by Bitcoin relative to the utility is so overkill that the comparison on the face of it seems ridiculous before you even look at any numbers whatsoever.

It is highly expected that the price of bitcoin shoots to no ones understanding. Currently, investors and bounty hunters are in panic and fear of either selling or hodling the coin. Looking at the market trend, there is the hope that bitcoin will spike with immediate effect.

Bitcoin is going to be the future of our financial system and we are not going to have problems with that.  The countries that are banning bitcoin now are going to regret in future because we cannot or we may not be able to handle poverty,  corruption and manipulation without having some things that government do not have power over.

As Bitcoin is a leading currency, certainty about technology will not be equal to the current altcoin. Anyway, the value of Bitcoin has been accepted by the community, which is undisputed.
If one day, there is a Coin that can replace Bitcoin, I think they will have to make better technology, such as the NEP5 technology.

Every crypto currencies have the same tendency we all know the bitcoin is anonymous and volatile in nature. For this only we are investing our hard earned money into this crypto currencies. I see you guys are really feel panic about the price dump on bitcoin.
I hope you guys are started into bitcoin by last year. That time bitcoin rapport is only big spike by taste it these things may be bitter for you but accept it and invest more to taste the profit again.

Let them panic if they want to.
I never seen that we've lost so much hope for bitcoin. Each year has been so good though not for some newbies but people like OP who are only looking at the very ugly side of his analysis.
Bitcoin's value has grown since the last years.

Anyone who is even worried about things they should not be worried about is just going to be missing out eventually. While worrying about the slow network and how much one would have to pay for transaction at times, is it not better to be worried how one should be trying as much as possible to accumulate knowing the future is certain and definitely in some years’ time, things would not be the way they are.

Yes, the only people seeing that right now are those who simply know the reason why they are investing in the first place.

The value of Bitcoin lies in the trust of investors!
The existence of Bitcoin is reasonable, but for me, it always exists like gold. It does serve as a currency in a certain historical period in the past. Bitcoin should compete with French currency!
Bitcoin is essentially a gold draped in a high-tech coat!

Since nowadays we see that bitcoin price was fall down no like the past years that it will increases so high..it means its price is unstamated that it will never been stable at all time maybe increases or decreases but i can assute that botcoin will last until the next generation.bbecause it will become the future currency system of the world..it will ups and downs to its price but uts still their in the near future.

In my own opinion, Ethereum is the only cryptocurrency that has the capability of replacing bitcoins because most of the altcoins today has a price based on ethereum coins.

Bitcoin for me will always have a value cause there will be always investors whose want to put their money into this project, thanks to that situation this coin can't lose its value.

The main thing is that Bitcoin did not lose the trust, this is a weighty factor in the formation of value.

Bitcoin's value is down these days because of a number reasons.The forces of demand and supply play an important role in determining the prices.It is down as the bitcoin holders are selling their bitcoins because the prices are not rising.Bitcoin has a risk of getting hacked and that is why people are leaving bitcoin.Bitcoin is also banned in some nations and this is also a reason .Bitcoin is decentralised and so no central banks and governments support bitcoin as they have no direct control over bitcoin.

the future of bitcoin is sustainable, the world is gradually moving into adaoption of digital currency, and bitcoin would be the world first digital currency, there is no doubt about it, the value of bitcoin will keep appreciating in value.

So, in any game there are losers and winners and, certainly, trading is a game which adults play in. Let us remember 2017 year when amateurs were winners especially who sold own bitcoins on the highs. You are right that bitcoin has some weakness comparing with other coins but in the current moment of time there is no alternate for bitcoinand it is not just my non-professional opinion because there are bitcoin futures on CME where professionals trade. I am sure that professionals are much more experienced than we are and, of course, they know the situation much better. Consequently they would not work with bitcoin if bitcoin were so bad asset.

I am still believe that bitcoin price will still rising in the future and maybe can reach $250k like many expert said. If issue about slow transaction, lightning network is the solution for bitcoin. I dont believe bitcoin price is manipulated because price determined by market

very good bitcoin value and also very high bitcoin coin price increase, I rate bitcoin well done by society, I believe bitcoin can make me success, most importantly want to learn.

whether one should invest in bitcoin or not depends on whether you think bitcoin will become a long term trusted store of value, if it does become a long term trusted store of value. BTC should trade around 2M a coin. Depending on how many coins are lost and are actually in circulation. That is over 100X the price of where BTC is today. If btc does not become a long term trusted store of value, its likely price will be close to zero unless it become a cool collectible which is a possibility.

The bitcoin value today is more than $ 8,000 today, although today bitcoin price compared to yesterday is about a few dollars difference but that also makes investors feel more satisfied.

(Slow transaction speed) I do not understand what you mean. I think any investment will have winners and losers, but in my opinion, this is the test of patience of the market for us. The near future bitcoin will come back and grow over.

I think that as tone goes on new platforms, security systems and projects are created to better the efficiency of crypto currency transactions. Now more than ever, wallets becomes more secure and more easily accessible. Transactions become an instant activity that you can actually send money in your couch to people half way across the globe.

It means exactly what I said, I have seen some calculations that put the financial sector as responsible for the use of 12% of the energy of the whole planet and if bitcoin were to take its place it will be more efficient, so all of those that say that bitcoin is unsustainable because it consumes a huge amount of energy are lying and are trying to use the excuse that bitcoin is not green enough to stop its adoption, but it is not going to work, and second bitcoin uses all that energy to secure the network so it is not useless.

As of now the value of bitcoin is not as high. The price is in the ranges of decreasing because of some issues. But I think maybe by next month coming the price of bitcoin will recover and back to normal.

bitcoin value is very high and it bring massive income to many...the value of the bitcoin is making a lot if impact on the digital currency, this is making a lot of people trade with the bitcoin more than any digital currency....

Bitcoin value is unpredictable and it is good sign that the price moves up now and a little bit down again and has never loose its value. Indeed investing on bitcoin is profitable especially to people who uses effective strategies during these times and good amount of profit are awarded only to those who have long patience in this kind of trade industry.

It is just normal to see bitcoin that it is going up and down because that is the normal cycle of a cryptocurrency, its price is always up and down because the demand in the market is not fixed and it is always changing based on the news or to their emotion about the movement of bitcoin. It is best to just keep our bitcoin safe and just be patient in waiting for the price to go up.

The bitcoin value is always truly unpredictable ,this is the characteristics of being volatile, and the sudden change of price value in the market, so bitcoin price is changeable from every span of time ,so if you are a trader you weapon is the constant monitoring and ready for anytime transactions, but bitcoin value is always on top among all altcoins.

Bitcon is very useful and helpful to everyone therefore it's worth to be a currency because is has a big value of price, it help users financially, it will use investment and payment, has good quality and quantity that people never disappoint and its a profitable coin.

There will be a sustainable future for bitcoin. Some places where bitcoin is a trading currency, hopefully in the future to bitcoin will be more powerful application.

I think that for the fact that bitcoin is not worth much today, you can see that Bitcoin prices are constantly fluctuating and adjusting very strongly recently, so in order to successfully trade is very difficult. Bitcoin is only a coin intermediate to exchange between USD and altcoin only. And no government or country controls bitcoin.

This unstable fluctuation has been a pleasure for me, values supported by complex rumors make me feel comfortable as a pure business. values that have not found a stable point and positive news that continues to evolve into a sign that this coin is still in the stage to be perfect, because the bitcoin factor that always lasts finally makes people believe to buy.

The main problem about what you have mentioned is the MANIPULATION,but i believe united stes government are doing action towards this and if the outcome is positive then for sure investors will come back and the market will be bloom again and may serve as changes to all the community of cryptocurrency

I can tell you some time hooks and values of bitcoin through each year

2009 at the beginning of bitcoin with 1 USD you can buy up to 1309.03 bitcoin

May 2010 - Laszlo Hanyecz, a programmer in Florida, was the first to buy a real bitcoin item when spending 10,000 BITCOINS in exchange for two boxes of pizzas delivered home.

November - The value of the Bitcoin economy exceeds $ 1 million

February 2013: Reddit (the largest forum in the US) lets you buy "Reddit Gold" with bitcoins.

MARCH 3, 2013: MARKET CAP EXCEEDS $ 1 DOLLARS

MARCH 3, 2013: BLOCK CHAIN ​​BRANCH ("FORK")
December 2013: In early December 2013, the People's Bank of China issued a NO LICENSE for banks involved in bitcoins.
Immediately the price of bitcoin fell to $ 600 and then rebounded to $ 900- $ 1000.

Yes it does seemingly like seeing a fruit that fall on a tree but still you will picked it up because you know it could still be eaten or it still has its worth. The bitcoin value will determine the number of people who does see the value on it. This is why the higher the demand for bitcoin the higher market price it will get.

The value if it keep going high so it will benefit all those who have being stayed invested and bought during the dips. Also it will be a better thing for the traders as they love volatility so that they get a good cushion to trade as bought at low and sell high.

The value of bitcoin will be a part of "games of whales" as long as there will be volatility of the price in the market. The whales will take advantage of this volatility to maximize their profit. Again price manipulation will exists until everyone starts to adopt crypto currencies and knows in depth about the market. And about the banning, there is nothing we can do if the government bans bitcoin.

I find it quite amusing by the saying of the game between the really rich guy, the big men in the cryptocurrency, none of us can be sure of Bitcoin's fortunes, we are just trying to try to legalize Bitcoin between countries.

I will try to answer your important question, whether it is a Game or not. 
Bitcoin is an asset, a tool in the hands of wealthy investors, (whales) it is a way to earn even more than they have. Or is it a means to lower the price and bankrupt everyone they want.
If we talk about other stocks and assets, there are laws that regulate the price movement. If there is a drop of 20-25% of the asset, all the market is closed, trading is stopped. And in the crypto-currency exchange, there is no such principle. Accordingly, for Whales is a great way to earn. )))

Rich people or "whales" can use Bitcoin as a game. That makes the market bitcoin or Altcoin become volatile. I think only people who have money can have chances in exchanges. Either they are richer or they are lost but not significant. What do you think?

In any good thing, if there is a hole that can be exploited, people begin to doubt it whether that was the purpose of creating it. the fact that whales manipulate the price of cryptos does not mean that was what it was intended for. It's just a tiny hole in crypto invention that people are exploiting.

Bitcoin value is depends on demand and supply so after 21 million Bitcoin mined in market. We can predict some value of Bitcoin and many investors are analysing the same way but no one find the result. So we should support for globalisation surely government fixed the value.

You underestimate bitcoin! Its value is that it can swallow all the non-cash money of the entire Internet. It is difficult for you to imagine now, but you will eventually realize that bitcoin is a single asset for all countries and States. When the 1 Satoshi will is worth as today is worth 0.5 bitcoin. I'm probably exaggerating a little bit with the price. But I am sure that one day the price of bitcoin will be about 1 million

Not all countries in the world prohibit bitcoin, bitcoin is banned in some countries but there are many countries accept and permit bitcoin. It doesn’t really matter of ban in every country because it’s a decentralized currency and that's not a problem for bitcoin.

And you want those rules that are against the free market to be implemented? Because I do not, look I know that looking at your investment losing that kind of value is never easy but we cannot stop the flow of cryptocurrencies because that goes against its nature, bitcoin was created to allow you to have access to your money 24/7 without having to ask the permission of any third party, this will be very important when in the future banks go in a bank holiday to avoid bankruptcy, and now you want the same for bitcoin, that is simply not going to happen.

Bitcoin value varies depending on the exchange you're buying it on.Sometimes, the value is high sometimes it flactuates.This has to do with several things, including volume on an exchange.

The value of Bitcoin does not lie in its high or low level of cash equivalents, I think based on the intent of its users to create a real value. Good targets will set the stage for Bitcoin to be positioned in the electronics market.

The bitcoin value is now lower. It is certain that the next year will spread. bitcoin is a world-class coin. People invest in here to make big profits. Although today's value is down, this last year stands at $ 20000. bitcoin appears to be a great value coin. People are investing here because of the value.

When transferring money in the Crypto currency, no one controls your funds and can not cancel the transfer. If money is sent as a prepayment, then it is worth to rely only on the integrity of the recipient. Traditional national currencies are more reliable in this respect and allow all money to be returned in the event of accidents.
For a wider distribution of cryptocurrency, you need to think about the safe possibility of a refund.

Scalability has actually been the major challenge so far which I believe should be solved in time when the developers get a hand on the whole implementation of the lightening network, which I believe will hopefully drive in demand a lot for the space. In the past bitcoin value has been rising up regardless of any of its development issues. Hence, we can be sure about bitcoin to have bigger values in coming years too.
If this can be solved, we will know the next target is real world usage, and if we are lucky as well, the government would have simply accepted the space as a legal entity than trying to fight it.

There doesn't have to be any escape path for Bitcoin because it is safe on it's own. I am sure as more time passes more and more countries will legalize it.

Either BTC value will be high or low, I don't think that Bitcoin will be used by common people in the future. I know that some of online sites/sellers accepting on BTC payments but Bitcoin's low transfer time at high amount stakes (like transferring $1M value BTC) is an obstacle. If rich people cannot use BTC with high amounts, neither common folk will use it.

That is my opinion.

Lightning Network adds more complexity on top of an already obtuse payment solution. Although perhaps technically feasible, I don't see it as a practical solution for the scalability problem because getting regular people who don't understand Bitcoin to a point where they understand and can use the Lightning Network is virtually impossible. Bitcoin has real limitations for widespread adoption due the inability of the average person to understand how it works, and LN compounds the problem.  I don't see crypto serving a real market function beyond speculative investing (gambling), and without real utility in commerce the upside is severely limited.

I mean i know that Bitcoin is the most expensive crypto currency out there but i think that it doesn't have muc of projects or even many uses for it as compared to Ethereum. But then again, for me that is the inherent problem,  more blockchains and uses for the coin will go a long way for Bitcoin.

I fundamentally disagree with you on the account of the payment instrument. Bitcoin has long been a means of asset. Which unfortunately strongly speculate, but it is an asset that brings money. That's OK. And about the speed of the transaction and the electricity, it's not a problem. Banks and the electricity are burning more. There are statistics.

bitcoin currently has no value, bitcoin is currently declining, the value of bitcoin is actually very much, if the price of bitcoin rises the price is unlimited, the value of bitcoin is a lot from now, until whenever I will support bitcoin.

I am sure that bitcoin can solve the problem and I think it will need a long time before it solved. and if bitcoin is really good enough then bitcoin will survive in any situations and I think it proves for now and bitcoin still going to go rise again although it is difficult. I don't think that bitcoin is just a game of whales because bitcoin and cryptocurrency can give a freedom for every people, especially in the finances. I am sure that bitcoin can be back to the right path in the future and bitcoin can help all people in the finances and in that time, the problem of bitcoin will be solved.

The second question is the hard work of the scientist. They want bitcoin mining to take place with the help of alternative energy sources. Soon this issue will be solved.The ban in many countries is a temporary phenomenon.Every day more and more countries join crypto.I'm sure it's not a problem.1 the problem is the speed of transactions.Here of course you need to break your head to find some solution.The world does not stand still and someone in any case will solve this issue.Ie we can conclude that the future of bitcoin will be.If not bitcoin then any other cryptocurrency will definitely have a future.I see unlimited opportunities for cryptocurrency

What do you mean an eacape path because of course bitcoins price won’t go back to what it was 3 years ago and we should be happy it is increasing yearly, although it is not constantly increasing like what we wanted it to be; comparingnits price from January of every year you could really see changes on its price. What we should hope for is the lesser transaction fees in the future and hopefully a much faster transaction though but I’m sure they will soon figure out a way to resolve that problem.

Bitcoin is really a concept and decentralized cryptocurrency in the country, So for me bitcoin does not control any of its compitutions. about demand and bitcoin price supplies are still varied. so No problem with reductions, we will use to choose the right time to buy high amount of bitcoin. and When prices are increasingly customary they do not buy, but when you have a bitcoin holding it is immediately sold when the price rises.

bitcoin value, I think it is created from a very high demand and from a very limited total supply that makes the price of bitcoin has a very expensive value.

The strategy is very simple, always try to invest every time the market prices are dropping so that you will be earning a huge amount of profit when the market price start to pump up again.

many of the problems that are now identified are solvable and temporary, so I think many people are ready to wait for the growth and development of this technology

You can call it anything you want, depending on who and how they use it. But it does not change that bitcoin will have a future in our society as it introduced the blockchain and is still very popular.

Bitcoin will deliver its real purpose in the future, it just so happen that many whales are really manipulating the market but I know it will not last since this market will soon be regulated by the governments. This is not a game for you to win or lose, this is an investment that can change your future for a better.

It varies periodically from time to time. bitcoin is a coin that has a large value. Today, the bitcoin is about $ 7,000. It is a clear reduction. Any coin is changed in time. Last year, bitcoin prices stood at around $ 20000. This coin has a great value in the future. Feel that you invest such a value in a coin that is high. With this value going up one day, you will be making progress. Stay with the bitcoin price. Because it will matter to you.

I'am optimistic that the future of bitcoin will continue as long as the internet and crypto continue to exist. later if all countries in the world have accepted the existence of bitcoin legally, bitcoin will soon be able to provide the real purpose. for now with the existence of bitcoin is the best asset choice that makes your future better.

the price that is manipulated is of course certain to happen especially for matters relating to money, there are certainly many whales who have high demand and want big profits.

As of now the price value of bitcoin is not so good because it's suffer a long time of blood bath. But we have to think also that this moment is good for investment because we can buy bitcoin in a very low price. And can get a big amount of profits if we hold it for a while and sell it when the price are getting to recover.

The value of the BTC is constantly changing, which is very good. Many people all over the world are constantly following the stock market, because their financial situation depends to some extent on that.

The value of bitcoin always moves up or down, depending on the bitcoin market responding to sellers and buyers. Don't ever expect the value of bitcoin to be stable, because price stability actually makes bitcoin has no appeal for investors and traders. By the end of 2017, bitcoin was valued at almost 20,000 USD but now only around 6,000 USD. Don't panic, because panic in the bitcoin business can be a loss.

Bitcoin value, in what case? Bitcoin as a means of money, its value is now starting to boost up, i've read from the news that its value will continue to increase ti december. The bitcoin as one of the best extrat source of income, the value of bitcoin in every users, it serves as the source of money of many individual.

actually bitcoin has several function.first function was itcoin as investment portofolio that could give profit for its investor.and also bitcoin could used to payment sytem in any stores.

Of course bitcoin will be sustainable and will continue to reach its main goal as a future currency. Bitcoin has multiple uses as a currency and also assets, and of course that will make bitcoin will have a bright future.
