Bitcoin Forum

Guys I haven't been here for a while and I'm wondering if Bitcoin is in a better shape than last time I checked 2 years ago.

Thanks

are you kidding me? have you checked at least coindesk - https://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin

2 years ago the btc price was about $6k+ and now we actually touched the $12k level already but still more than $11500. so what d'ya think this chart is saying to you?

Wow, 2 years is a long time, where have you been mate? Bitcoin is definitely getting better through the days, there might be bad days but still, it gets better. The crypto world is thriving I must say.

It is certainly getting better for hodlers. Yes two years ago was the time price dropped after ATH in 2017 but now price touched $12,000 and retraced. Well, I don't know if we are still going to see that 2018 price.

the node count has reached 100k again and the number of nodes with accepting connection is nearly 11k.

there are more than 13k lightning nodes more than 2k of them are over TOR with 37k channels and total capacity of $12 million.

the hashrate just hit a new ATH which shows the growth of the mining operation while the distribution of this hashrate shows a spread of it around the world.

there are a total of nearly 400k transactions being made every day on bitcoin network transferring about $2 billion in total.

number of merchants accepting bitcoin as payment has shown a steady growth over the past 2 years with payment processors such as bitpay showing a steady growth of the number of transactions they process of about 3% per month.

bitcoin clients have been improved a lot, may of them have introduced LN wallets such as Electrum.

bitcoin development has also been hot. we got the Schnorr signatures published as a BIP a couple of months back with lots of other proposals for improving privacy of bitcoin transactions. and we are close to version 1 witness.

Two years ago, the number of users who know about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is low. And the price of bitcoin is half of the price compared to now. It's nearly 6000$ and it raised above 11,000$ even a pandemic time. I had never expected, such things will happen. Because many people suffering to earn from corona, some had lost their job because of it. Even in such situation, the price of bitcoin had reached a peak. It was wondering

Have you checked the market yet? I think that's the first thing you should do.
Well if to give you a quick recap yes the Bitcoin is still in good shape and still more people are trading it and the market seems recovering and now on its bullish.

ya.ya.yo!

Price-wise, we are definitely in a better shape compared to what was last year. Legislation, regulation, and overall acceptance, we're still there, though we have advanced quite a few steps from where we were in 2018. Public interest also is surging together with the price. And even with a lot of people being affected by the pandemic currently, bitcoin still performed unusually better compared to all other assets out there that have established markets and a lot of deep pockets that can literally save their asses if needs be.

Corona virus , the economic crisis, money injection all over the world while bitcoin was halving certainly attracted many keys to bitcoin.
Imo, this is why more people are trusting their economies in bitcoin now.

We will probably have more inflation in the near future. And bitcoin can protect us

It's mych better in every aspect.

2 years ago we were in a bear market now it's bull
2 years ago we had lower market price
2 years ago there were less bicoin users and less exchanges.

What more do you need?

I'm not sure if you've been in a coma or just lived in the wild for the past 2 years because it would have been impossible otherwise to not notice the significant growth there has been in BTC and cryptocurrency in general.

Dude, the latest biggest spike in 2018 went viral... Even today BTC is in a good position and everyone is kinda holding their breath to see the next market price barrier breach... In other words things are looking green

If you are only looking at the price to consider if Bitcoin is in better shape then better change your thinking.

Bitcoin is in better shape since the beginning.

Be involved once again so you are updated. From there you can answer the question by yourself.

2018 was the bear market and we're in 2020. Bitcoin is on its better price than that year. It's a yes that bitcoin is in a better shape today. Check it how much bitcoin you have 2 years ago and see the US dollar value of it.

I'm sure that you'll be happy to check the current value of it because it's higher than 2 years ago.

Last 2 years ago Bitcoin and other crypto have spike their prices that time due to high demand because of the sudden increase of popularity which affects the price of it temporarily. A lot of people lost their money that time when the price and the hype plummeted especially newbies who just got into bitcoin and other cryptos.
So yeah, bitcoin is in good shape right now, steadily going back to it's price point way back when it was primarily hype last 2 years ago.
Other than the price, a lot of technologies, websites, and exchanges have rise and come up for the past 2 years.

Well if we look at the price then we can basically compare the two and would definitely agree that bitcoin is in good shape right now at $12K, but there are still a few months left in the year 2020, we don't still know where the price will end either just as good as now, better, or badly. You should have checked the price from the recent years OP, a simple search will answer your basic question. As I noticed from your username 'boredomking' it seems that you have just get back in crypto, and it is really awful to ask something like this with your first post without reading anything. My advice? read and invest.  :D

Bitcoin has always been in good shape. 2 years ago, the price reached the highest ATH but in the following years bitcoin experienced a significant decline. Bitcoin is currently also growing rapidly, many real sectors are starting to adopt bitcoin. During this pandemic, bitcoin has also become a digital currency that is widely used by people to benefit from investment and also through trade. Maybe Bitcoin will hit a new ATH in the coming years too.

If he literally talk on the same date then we would really able to say that it is indeed in good shape basing of on the price alone or into its comparison.

But we have reached this price point where it did take a really long time and we have been on several events or situations like the halving, pandemic situation etc.

There are lots of things happened along the way but it do shows that this market is trying to recover up in spite on the situation.

Absolutely. Two years ago there was a looming dread still from people who had bought at 16k+, we're in a bull market now!

First and foremost, what do you mean by "Bitcoin is in a better shape" ? are you referring to whether the price of Bitcoin is in better shape or whether the entire Bitcoin ecosystem is in better shape ?  If its about the market pattern of Bitcoin, the price of Bitcoin has always been up and down since it was introduced into the financial ecosystem.

Lots of developments.
Lots of upgrades
Some establishments are starting to accept crypto.
Price of Bitcoin is way higher than it is 2 years ago.

I can't say right now though that we are in a bull market but I'm bullish on it. If you want to enter and buy, wait for a correction first before buying. Welcome again :D. Compare to where Bitcoin was 2 years ago, it has a better shape right now.

Of course, and it's going strong. When it comes to the value, the adoption, the blockchain system surely the progress and development as of today is way better than before.

For the price, let me give you some overview from 2018 bitcoin price vs this year 2020;

Big difference, more stabilized price. If this is what you mean by a better shape, of course it is just by seeing tbe price itself.

Now Bitcoin is at its a good shape, even a few days ago it broke the price of $ 12,000. Even after that the price
down for correction, now the price is back up again. So I agree when compared to the performance of 2 years ago,
now Bitcoin is better. Hopefully it can return to all time high prices.

Well, price and acceptance says it´s in a good shape. If you think about Grayscale, Fidelity, Blackrock and many more now entering the market you could be ensured they wouldn´t do it without the trust to make money with it. Besides, there are the hypeman out there like Pomp and the Winklevoss twins. And that guy here: https://eng.ambcrypto.com/heres-why-bitcoin-at-487000-might-not-be-a-pipe-dream/

Bitcoin becomes stronger from day to day. Check out https://coinmarketcap.com/ if you need some proofs.

If you check 2 years ago Bitcoin has indeed decreased, but if you ask about the current Bitcoin price, the current bitcoin price has always gone up very well, then what will you do after you know the current price of bitcoin, want to buy Bitcoin for your future investment or just want to ask about Bitcoin? because I do not know your purpose and purpose for asking about Bitcoin.

it looks like he was the victim of the ICO turmoil in 2017 and sleeping in 2018, now he is awake to restart his fortune. because 2018 also made me a little frustrated with the state of the cryptocurrency market.

2 years ago meaning 2018?if you are comparing the price from that year to todays then Yeah you can be sure that Bitcoin is in Much Better shape now,so what are you waiting for?
why not just invest now than checking the market and doing nothing.
Though there is a falling season still like now growing more than $12,000 and now here we go again staying at $11,000 level.

maybe He needs realization that if He did not invest now then it will be the bigest regret of His life.

Well, we should also talk about the hashrate of Bitcoin for these past few years, especially on last 2 years.
We really soar high since 2 years ago, and this 2020 year is still the year of all-time-high of hash rate of Bitcoin, even we still not breaking the all-time-high. But this is so positive for Bitcoin, and I really admit that Bitcoin is in an extremely good shape.

for now,  the condition of bitcoin has started to improve compared to some time ago, hopefully the bitcoin market continues to improve and restore investor confidence to invest as much as possible in the world of cryptocurrency, especially bitcoin.

In terms of price, from 2 years ago, of course, bitcoin has had a regular development. The current price can be said to be good because bullish has occurred, but we still have to correct it if we state it.
Many hurdles have passed bitcoin over the past 2 years and at the peak when the pandemic hit where all economies were down in a few months but bitcoin was able to rise until now the price was already in the threshold of $ 11.7k which means this increase is much better than the previous year. .
Maybe also because of the halving effect.

Maybe you are not consistent in checking that market chart, not even seeing for a year or two? And even you check the price since last month, you eventually know where we are now. I don't think it was not bold to see, but clearly we are moving high and is to believe that we are truly in good shape by now than of the last 2 years or even last year.

If you are in crypto space, you've probably known it. We are not yet at Bullrun but it was of big difference as you see before. It could be time to open your eyes and witness the growing market. I hope you don't miss a thing happening around, pls don't get sleep again.

Two years ago? Bruuh, you missed out on a lot of opportunities man :o.
So I guess you’re one of those people that decided to quit after the price of bitcoin decreased to a low rate after going for a huge bull run?

Well, you can see that for yourself by checking exchanges for the price of Bitcoin, the price is already back up and currently chasing $12,000. If you were around February, the price was way more less than this and that would have been a better time for you to start reinvesting. Although I don’t think that it’s late at this time, because I still believe that there is going to be further increase before the end of the year.

Bitcoin is always in a better shape to trade or invest in. Whenever you meet bitcoin is the ideal time to buy into it. Investors know that to get into an investment as Bitcoin, no matter the time you meet it. it is never late. So, If one is waiting for a better deal on the of time before investing in bitcoin. it is now.

What do you mean? If you are talking about how much bitcoin is worth now and how much its price has changed, then it is easier for you to look at the charts and compare them. And if you mean how secure or volatile bitcoin has become compared to 2018, the situation has remained unchanged.

Bitcoin has gone through many ups and downs in the recent years.It was near about $7500 in December 2019.In January 2020 a decent rise was observed in it's price as it crossed $9000 mark.For the next few months it kept on fluctuating.The price was dropped down to $6500 in March but in July a huge hike was observed in it's price as it crossed $11,000 mark and it is still growing consistently.So if we compare the price then it is quite clear that bitcoin is in a better shape than before but we all are familiar with it's potential to grow.So I  hope that it will grow more and will  reach a new all time high value probably in the next year.

Bitcoin remains in good shape to retest $10K while a BTC price pullback to as low as $7Ks may provide a good opportunity for buyers.
 
The price of Bitcoin (BTC), the top-ranked cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is acting inside a narrowing range, still hovering around $9,000. Meanwhile, we’re also seeing a decrease in volume, alongside an increasingly shaky stock market, which is likely to impact Bitcoin as well.

Of course, it's better than 2 years ago because bitcoin is now on its way to the next ATH and 2 years ago, Bitcoin was on its way from 20k to 3k. Take a look at the chart and you will immediately see the results. There are now more people who want to own bitcoins than ever, look at the number of bitcoin wallets on 1 bitcoin.

Yes, in the last few months bitcoin was at a stable price, so it's possible that the price of bitcoin will go up again, unlike last year the price of bitcoin has dropped so much, this is the right time for us to buy bitcoin again

The bitcoin shows a good marker movement at the middle of the year which is a good sign too because it's already reaching out the market price of 12k price but still, the market is volatile we cannot assure that it will become more stable on that price right now the price of the bitcoin falls down into 10k rapidly in just a few weeks there is a lot of chance it will drop again or it will pump no one knows.

Many rumors are taking with and some of them talking about when the bitcoin goes up into 15k and next is the 20k but still it depends on the investors if they will keep it.


If the bitcoin falls down again into 9k mark for sure it will drops immediately into 7k and takes time for another wait to pump up again.

what you asked about 2 years ago is the same as the date you asked, or what during those 2 years. Of course there will be different perceptions even though it can be seen that if it is a matter of price it is clearly better and more convincing. and the possibility of going up is always going to happen even though it continues to break the $ 12K several times but falls again. for me it is a natural thing because the tempo is still far away and the possibility to move up again will occur. the momentum for that is yet to be seen for bitcoin

Yes bitcoin right now is a good shape I heard that bitcoin now have a high value in market.And the other supermarket,restaurants,mall etc.They receive payment thru bitcoin.Especially they offer good opportunities in you.

Yes because we made a new high at $12,000 this year.

This signals a good future ahead and this year we have some DeFi hypes that gives some contribution to the market to turn it into bullish mode.
I don't want to tell you that bitcoin is in bad shape because it is always in good shape if you only know how to find some opportunity on its price movement.
Bitcoin could be bullish and bearish, let's say in the last 2 years it was more bearish but there were times it pumped, so that could already give us an opportunity to sell for a good profit if we have been accumulating when the price was dumping instead of getting panic.

Investing for long term is good but not so good since we also have to take the opportunity on short term movement while we are waiting for a bigger goals in investing.

This year Bitcoin was reached 12k $. Now. Its price 10k $. Bitcoin is volatile. 2 years is so long time in crypto world. Because crypto currency price change everyday.

Bitcoin shape is not determined just by current price, it is the number of people adopting crypto currencies at the moment, increase/decrease of that number throughout years and perspective projects that are here to support faster adoption

price is volatile, but that is kind a normal to young industries, although BTC is not that young anymore

I do not know why you deceive yourself and others with these numbers.

Bitcoin made an average of 350 thousand transactions per day a year ago. Now it makes 350 thousand transactions per day. And in a year it will make 350 thousand transactions per day.

This is all you need to know about improving Bitcoin.  All the above figures have zero value before this fact.

Yes it seems to be great right now, I remember it around year ago, it was worth anywhere around $4k and now it's around $10k but it drops slowly.

Oh! You missed a lot from bitcoin. 2 years of being quite in bitcoin has a lot happened because bitcoin is volatile and value of it keep on changing from time to time and from last two years bitcoins value already reached $12K dollar again. You missed it but it's not too late, invest now so that you won't regret someday when bitcoin will grow more than now.

with the current market movements that have started a lot of significant changes, from the interest of people who want to invest in bitcoin and also people who are trying their luck with digital money..

yeah, I suppose, bitcoin in overall is in good shape looking to me just take a look at its market dominance it is above half that means bitcoin contributes above half of the crypto market. I guess the OP meant to ask if bitcoin is in good position for an investment since he asked this question while comparing to bitcoin's price 2 years ago. From the recent fall of the price of bitcoin, I must say that this is a good opportunity for an investment and long term holding.

Take note of this first, asking here in forum about the price, when to enter, when to exit is very uncertain though people here like me is kinda old to this scene we are still not sure of where the price is heading next.

     Lol. You clearly didn't check after you checked before. Haha. Seriously though, overall, I think the whole industry is in a good shape as of the moment and not just bitcoin. But if you ask me, I really do prefer the prices last 2 years ago. Nit that I don't like the good status of bitcoin today, it's just that it was quite fun playing with shit coins at those times and was a really good time to stash as much bitcoins as you can for upcoming price spikes.

Two years ago  :o Dude I do not know how you managed to remain ignorant of all that's happened in the last 2 years because a lot of crazy stuff happened. In any case, BTC compared to 2 years ago is now in somewhat a better place. I say this because of the many projects that have span off since then and the new birth of DeFI.

Nonetheless, right now there might be signs of uncertainty in the market where the crypto market is undergoing another price correction and because of this there' s some uncertainty about its immediate future.  Though, this is part of the normal transition - at least that's what most hope...

Its currently on a correction market though its not as bad as it can be, since in market its all green from the alts while bitcoin is somehow struggling to maintain its 5 digit value and then there's the holiday season which always directly affects bitcoin regardless of the situation. In conclusion bitcoin would be at a good shape until mid December but I don't see it falling off too low.

That was really pretty too long since you have been gone checking the shape and behavior of Bitcoin. At the span of 2 years Bitcoin have undergone many ups and downs and faced many struggles that challenged the people to continuously believe on the capacity and capability of Bitcoin to regain from the loss it have suffered on the past years of its existence.

Good thing that even you were gone for 2 years, Bitcoin still remain on the top most and still the reigning crypto currency of all times. There just really times that it was being tested due to correction and other related issues that affects it price but so far and so good, Bitcoin is still doing so well. Better not to miss out other information now that you are back for you might be missing more opportunities in the near future if you would be gone once again. Better now to let yourself be updated on the latest news and happenings regarding the development happening in the crypto world so you can get along with the opportunities that may come on hand.

What will happen if we answer your question?are you investing if it is in Good shape?if not then whats the purpose?and you should have not come back
 because of curiosity in prices because we need Investors and supporters and now added Fud.

You are not here for 2 years because the Hype is over and you leave the market since there is no profiteering?meaning that you only entering here just to make a quick bucks.
Correction that took more than 3 days?
and the price is going up and down in short period of time,i believe that there are some whales that making this movement to gather income.

I had been pretty down on bitcoin and the cryptocurrency ecosphere. I just didn't think that there was much advancement gong on with bitcoin, I wasn't seeing enough merchants accepting cryptocurrency and it just seemed like there wasn't much "hoopla" for bitcoin going on like there used to be.  However of late I've seen a pickup in all these areas.  Bitcoin/cryptocurrency has been in the news a lot more often, I've seen a spike in ATMs being put up and companies such as Walgreens/CVS etc that have changed ATM systems so that they new ones have Bitcoin options.  More merchants seem to be accepting it.  With worries over the value of the dollar it's become a much more prevalent hedge asset, etc.

It did went below 10k again but the support is strong above 10k price. So I assume it will be a good week and coming weeks since bitcoin show that the market is really claiming for another bull run season. Wish it could be true.

Thats normal, correction doesnt end up on one day affair. The thing happened is normal and this is really a good rally pulling either we go on bear or bull situation. Whales normally tricking the market especially if they are using leverage trading.

Bitcoin development is not too different after its highest price in 2017,
instead, what is developing very far is the cryptocurrency ecosystem, very quickly the market trends change, such as IEOs and now DeFi,

Bitcoin is in a great shape. Better than ever!

Good part is BTC over 10k once more. Digital money getting more mainstream, and this thing will benefit the market. Everyday new people and investors are entering the market. You and I can hopeful of a better market value for bitcoin.

Why don't you go look for yourself. Since you are back after 2 years, maybe you should start reading what events took place so far and update yourself with all the latest bitcoin news. It is not that hard to do so.
And also look at the charts and you will know if bitcoin currently is in "good shape" (not sure what you mean by this, but I guess you are talking about the price?) or not. The price did reach around 12,000 USD for a while, but couldn't hold it for long enough unfortunately.

There has been very big changes in Bitcoin price in 2 years. In fact, this year could be one of the best years for Bitcoin price I think. It has been over 10k dollars for a very long time. Bitcoin use is also increasing year by year. So yes, Bitcoin is in a nice shape. :)

The value gain went up to $10k after that long years, and if you are aiming to invest for long term then it's in a good shape. With many new
investors now who are bringing new invested money, you can assess that there are a big chance that it will go high and reach the next ATH.


Bitcoin indeed still in good shape, you can invest then wait again for your set target. As long as you are willing to take the risk and willing to
wait for the next bull then your money is safe.

Hey. I think that now Bitcoin is in good shape, not only relative to the position of 2 years ago. He's in very good shape. Now there is a correction after a steady growth, but there is no good growth without corrections and I think that the growth will continue.

Bitcoin started from scratch and usually has been ignored. They think nothing and it was surprising how it gets hypes and reaches $20k. Even though we couldn't see it back again, we are still far from where we started, and it was enough to say that we are making good almost every day. Seeing the dumps and followed with the pumps has come to normal in the market and that is no reason we should have to complain.

The year 2018 and 2019 might be a bad year for crypto but I was only to think that we are just tested by our faith. It somehow the pandemic comes this year but opposite it happens to Bitcoin and sees people are adopting it than before which has a huge impact on the price.

we must believe that bitcoin is indeed in very good condition, after the halving, usually bitcoin will experience significant growth a year later. but now it feels even though it is not stable and always comes back down. the end of the year is still quite long and I think that the movement will occur near the end of the year and continue into the next year.

I wouldn't say not but I wouldn't say it is either. Perhaps, you can say it is in good shape but not as good as we were on years ago. I would say that the price now is half of what we have way back before. Moreover, the crypto users are now rapidly increasing, exchanges and everything are now blooming, we have now Defi programs that are now almost comparable to ICOs way back then. In short, the community is getting bigger and there are new projects that had been developed. By the way mate, I welcome you back :).

IMO, if you believe in Bitcoin it is time to join the journey. There is a saying that we say in my country "Do not leave until tomorrow what you can do today." Bitcoin is in good shape, don't wait for the price of Bitcoin to rise. Buy what you can, stay abreast of prices, charts and news.
We need more soldiers to put it in a figurative way for Bitcoin to remain the leader, we need to maintain a strong community.

Bounce back is what shows that bitcoin is doing well. We have seen it took time to cross 10k but later it went till 12k levels as well and could not sustain the prices above it. But the recent price drops just seems profit booking would have happened and from here the whales again could start buying and we can see price again crossing 11k in coming time.

Bitcoin is really in a good shape in the end of 2017 and in the start of 2018, which is I don't see it coming right now.

It reached $12k last month but it didn't last, people still hold and didn't mind the sudden increase because they know that it will not be the next ATH and the increase is not that profitable for them. I don't think that bitcoin is in a good shape right now due to an economic crisis. I think bitcoin will only become in a good shape in the end of year 2021 due to the recovery of those economy in each country.

Bitcoin is unpredictable and it is really hard to say what will happen next, we don't have any idea but if you are knowledgeable about the market then maybe you will have a perception towards this.

I'm not in the complaint even the times that Bitcoin dumps so hard coz I know and it was to believe that there is no way to make the things good all the time. What we have now is a thing that could prove that bitcoin always be in good shape regardless of its price.
People are started to adopt bitcoin, some establishments are also finding its way. Sooner or later, the demand will rise and so the price as well.

It is not only measured by the price but it is also to consider the benefits that we might get.

Two years is a very long time. I'm sure since you're quite familiar with bitcoin, then you must have known that a lot would have happened as regards the price of bitcoin.
Although there have been a lot of pump and dump from 2 years ago,  bitcoin has been increasing steadily. It is now almost twice the price it was two years ago.
And if you meant stability by being in a good shape, bitcoin has been holding the $11.5k to $12k mark for some time now so I'd say it's stable
I do believe bitcoin is in goof shape.

Yes. Bitcoin is really in a good shape right now even if its price suddenly drops down due to its volatility, bitcoin is still the best crypto at its present times. And even if we are in a pandemic right now, bitcoin has remained firm and strong and has even gained huge popularity from its users and investors.

It looks like you are a typical long-term holder, for two years you didn't check the Bitcoin price development.
If we look at the trading chart two years ago Bitcoin which was priced at $ 6000, of course now Bitcoin is in
good shape or Bitcoin is on the right track to get to an all time high price. Hopefully, the current Bitcoin price
correction will not last long. Because I am still optimistic that this year Bitcoin will be able to touch the price
of $ 15,000.

I long on BTC and also hope to see $15K this year too, but I am frustrated how much BTC has been tracking stocks, especially tech stocks this year and I am expecting another correction since there is really nothing to justify the stock market recovery with COVID impacting almost every sector (devastating is some!)  If anything I would think BTC is viewed as a hedge given COVID has little direct impact (indirect of course since the world's economies are significantly impacted). Anyway, there are a number of articles highlighting the recent correlation, but this one has a decent chart: 
Both bitcoin and tech stocks have tumbled – how much worse will it get? (https://moneyweek.com/investments/stockmarkets/601959/both-bitcoin-and-tech-stocks-have-tumbled-how-much-worse-will-it)

Value savvy, we are certainly fit as a fiddle contrasted with what was a year ago. Enactment, guideline, and in general acknowledgment, we're still there, however, we have progressed many strides from where we were in 2018. The public interest likewise is flooding along with the cost. Also, even with many individuals being influenced by the pandemic at present, bitcoin still performed abnormally better contrasted with all different resources out there that have set up business sectors and a ton of profound pockets that can in a real sense spare their butts if needs be.

of course, today bitcoin is very good, and recovered again after 2 years bitcoin stagnated and made us scared and disappointed, I think bitcoin will fall and end, the highest point of reaching $ 20,000 in 2017 is the final destination of bitcoin.  but that's wrong, bitcoin is doing very well today, and it's creating a slow but steady rally.

In comparison to the previous price rally of 2017, now we're moving with a good pace. During the previous time growth happened in a much faster pace and so is the crash of the market. This way market is prepared to grow steady for a much longer time period than ending up shortly touching new ATH. We should also be ready to accept market changes happening in either direction.

You better get thankful that you are back again so you can witness where we are now today and see the real situation.

Yeah, we are apparently in good shape, you'll be seeing it close to its ATH like the last time you saw it back in 2017. And people around you will surely tell that. Then to ask you, what are your plan now? If you have that BTC's in your wallet, better to let it go now and so you won't miss again the opportunity.

If the OP invested again in btc from the time he posted this thread, he surely did make a good profit from his investments. But at that time, we were still in tight pandemic situation, so don't think he bought some crypto. Anyway, if he is talking about the current situation, we are now in a much better shape and this time, a lot of users I believe are more knowledgeable in crypto as compared to 2017 hype.

It's been a long time for you if it's 2 years ago. If you invest in bitcoin last 3 months ago for sure you already earned profit this time since the current price of btc is already touch above $17k. Bitcoin is in a good shape and if you observe the market it's soaring high and this means those who invest before are earning already. 

I hope you've been back early this year when the price is still cheap and able to accumulate more cryptos. Bitcoin price is now getting crazy and been multiplied multiple times.
Bitcoin has a slow recovery from $4000 (bottom) and it finally reaches its bullish stage, and we are heading to another ATH. It is likely to see that we are totally in good shape this time. If we are investing in Bitcoin early this year, we are making a huge profit this time.

and now bitcoin will break over 18k or break the previous ATH in 2017
if you buy it in 2018 then you are one of the lucky people who can get big profits
maybe at this time BTC is trying to break the resistance line and finally BTC great again

Hopefully, I am expecting BTC to reach $20,000 by yearends. It nearly touches 18k already and its still early. Bitcoin is really in good shape right now, and we expect it to slowly rise not a sudden surge where correction will be big too. Yes, 2018 is a good year to buy as far as I can remember it has a dip lower than $5,000.

Bitcoin is moving faster at the end of the year, chances are your hope will be met at the end of the year which will likely touch $ 20,000, as bitcoin price growth at the end of this year surprised everyone, with the drastic increase in bitcoin price making Altcoin prices still not increasing, at least in the end of the year there will be an increase in altcoin and bitcoin prices to move hand in hand at the end of the year ..

We all know that Bitcoin is very valuable the same applies to gold but the demand for bitcoin is higher than gold. Those who used to invest are now lucky bitcoin has pumped a lot and there is a lot of potential for price increases so it is possible to make a profit even if you invest now. Bitcoin is in a much better position and no one will be able to break it. Will become more popular worldwide and there are also other digital currencies from which Bitcoin is a great currency for investing.

I think you had a bad time in bitcoin 2 years ago and wants to return again for the goodness sake.
So far Bitcoin in in good shape where actually very close to 20k. For almost 3 years of bearish finally Bitcoin hit the 18k mark last two days ago. Btc performance is so impressive calling all investors to invest while not yet in surge.

It looks like the history of 2017 is repeating again when Bitcoin reaches the highest price in history. I hope that this kind of trend will happen again so every crypto users that is having a bad situation during the pandemic will regain some of their investment.

In the crypto world, there is nothing stable. BTC passed its life by many ups and downs. During its lifetime, it carries many shapes. I think this time is good for BTC and many people hold for future profit. But is the greatest digital currency in the virtual world, though it is volatile it will try to hold a good shape.

Bitcoin Lab CEO Tetsuyuki Oishi, a guest crypto analyst at Japanese financial company Fisco, shared three reasons earlier this week why he sees considerable demand from institutional investors for cryptocurrencies post the pandemic.

Bitcoin today were in a real good shape, and finally after two years where the time that he lost too bitcoin made its way back up to $17000 market value. He probably missed out the first flight of bitcoin this year, we can actually asks him where did this man have been but Well its not too late for him to invest in bitcoin i guess but the idea that he would probably give out a huge amount for investment especially aiming to get bitcoin.

Yes, now bitcoin has a good market and this is the time where some investors or people chose to invest in bitcoin and even some converted their altcoins to get bitcoin as shown in some.cases of altcoins in the crytpo market in red or falling down in terms of its market price. However, this could not a problem at all because everything will be back to normal with the altcoins after the bitcoin bullish trend.

As of now bitcoin price are building up due to sudden changes cause by the pandemic. The demand on Fiat money have decreased drastically these past few months while the demand on digital currencies continuously increasing. Cryptocurrencies are getting and getting popular and everything is hype up, so its better to invest while the price still low.

That's how it's  moving right now, the volatilities still present.

But with how quick and strong the market pumped up, seems that it's more likely to reach another peak we may see new ATH
with this bullish movements. But always remember to do your DYOR if you are planning to ride with the market then adds up
more patience it will lessen the chance of losing your money.

Yes, bitcoin is still improving in the market, that is causing other cryptocurrencies to reduce in the market. During the pandemic many investors think bitcoin will not go far in the area of pumping which bitcoin has prove since we enter lockdown with steady pumping without stopping in the market, that is making other cryptocurrencies wondering how powerful bitcoin stand in this season 2020. many are still holding their coins if bitcoin will still increase more than this before they can sell in the market to make a good profit. Bitcoin is still in a good position where you can sell and make a good profit because the price is still rising every day by day in the market.

I don't that's a good idea to convert your altcoin to bitcoin as of now, it's a big risk you will take on if you do that because as you can see the price of bitcoin right now, already pumps and if you do convert your altcoin to bitcoin since we can't predict the movement of the market, we all know that the changing of the price is constant and dumping can happen anytime but we are not hoping that it will happen, we are hoping that the price will continuously pump and reach its highest peak.

the price of bitcoin is already very expensive compared to the price of bitcoin in 2017. beginners have difficulty investing in bitcoin because it is very expensive, in my opinion investing in altcoins is the best solution for beginners.

Yes it is in a better shape compare to the last 2 years we are now near the ATH price.
Just another $2K and we could see a new ATH it is being pump now are we going to expect a new ATH in December?
Is it going to repeat what has been done in 2017 where almost every expect it to continue on flying?

true now bitcoin is in good shape compared to 2 years before the price of bitcoin is fantastic. This year, the price of bitcoin is the highest compared to the previous year.

I am not convinced that the common hardworking general population will invest during a pandemic as things were hard and many lost their job and some are not getting their payments on time and with all these difficulties it is hard to sit around and think about investing in a highly volatile currency, but institutional investors and the elite class might have invested in bitcoin.

If we talk about the raising of value of Bitcoin it can say unquestionably in distant an improved compared to past. We’re still there, in spite of the fact that we have progressed but mostly BITCOIN is in trouble about legalization globally.Open intrigued moreover is surging along with the cost.Indeed with a parcel of individuals being influenced by the widespread right now, bitcoin still performed abnormally way better compared to all other resources out there that have built up markets and a parcel of profound pockets that can truly spare their asses on the off chance that deserve.

It is foolish to ask about the state of BTC today, even those who do not understand cryptocurrency can clearly understand that BTC is now in very good shape and besides this is not the limit, it can still pick up, and besides, it’s very good to pick up the form) Besides BTC allows you to improve shape and other cryptocurrencies which is very good for many. After all, the growth of the entire cryptocurrency is an opportunity for development and good growth both for companies and for us who are working day and night about crypt and apply it in practice to make money

The attraction of bitcoin has been central to the past 24 hours.  it's special and makes anyone who can look at the moment feel passionate.  but no, altcoins are almost at fault.  I don't see any good response from ETH, didn't it come out of the 1k5 wall? Except, Doge, TRX have a transformation. 
Bitcoin was in very good shape to explode late January and I expect it to cross the $ 40k barrier.

Compared with the previous two years, the price of Bitcoin has risen a lot, but the price has been adjusted recently, fluctuating greatly, and it should rise after the adjustment.

I agree. Most individuals I guess pull out their assets on stocks when they noticed that crash is about to happen due to city lockdowns caused by pandemic. And thinking about what would be the best investment I should get into at this period of time where economies are crashing? That would be bitcoin. That makes bitcoin to be in a good shape last year.

2020 is a turbulent year, even according to the standards of the cryptocurrency market. The panic caused by the new crown virus caused the traditional market to fall in March, and Bitcoin also fell along with it. The claim that Bitcoin is a safe haven asset was therefore questioned. But soon afterwards, with the advent of the third Bitcoin halving, the argument of digital scarcity prevailed and Bitcoin prices rebounded.

You arrive at the perfect time. I know 2018 was the most exceedingly terrible year for the bitcoin and digital currencies market.
But now bitcoin, as well as all the cryptographic forms of money, are bullish, a few tycoons contribute their cash and now we're raising.
Covid profoundly influenced on market and individuals quit sitting around idly in stock and placing their assets in bitcoins.

In my opinion, Bitcoin's credibility was during its stagnant time during the year 2018-2019 before receiving a surge of users in 2019-2020. That time really showed that even though Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies are being left out, it is still possible to earn in that time because all you have to be is a hard working person and work within the Cryptocurrency Industry. I really believe that the potential of Bitcoin is now being utilized by millions of users and its just a great time to be part of something that would be beneficial in the future.

For me, Bitcoin is and will be in an ever-increasing curve.
So no matter what period we enter the Bitcoin environment, it will be better than two years ago and will be worse than the future state of Bitcoin and the crypto world.

Yes, bitcoin is in good shape price-wise compared to the past 2018, but bitcoin price will not sustain for an extended period. It can face a bear market in the future.

The reply above is pretty much what happened. I actually am also not updated from 2 or 3 years since because of some personal reasons but then all of my friends are talking about how the bitcoin's price improved, and I think to myself, I never expected bitcoin to reach the price this high, as we are experiencing it today, and now I am back, I also observed that people are getting more and more interested in bitcoin. Good for everyone.  :D

This is actually very funny. Bitcoin was very low in price two years ago. Two years ago, bitcoin was less than $7000 and now, it's over $50000. I believe that's all the good shape that you need to know about Bitcoin.
Trust me, bitcoin is way better in all ways than what it was two years ago. It's better in price, it's better in adoption. It's better in everything.
I am sure of you come back here in another two years, you'll be blown away by how big and better bitcoin will be then than what it is now. You'd be amazed at what the price of bitcoin will be then

Bitcoin shape isn't decided fair by current cost, it is the number of individuals embracing crypto monetary forms at the minute, rise  and fall of that number all through a long time and viewpoint ventures that are here to bolster speedier adoption price is volatile, but that's kind a normal to youthful businesses, in spite of the fact that BTC isn't a mystery but known to majority of young generation.

All matters with the demand and talking about good shape is unidentifiable because of this very volatile market or way of changing too much.You cant determine
if this is the peak or if this was the bottom but the solid thing that we can rely on is to see that it did really able to grow up on a decades time.
Demand and acceptance or simply the adoption rate would be a good indication for us to presume out that we are really on a good shape.
it does take some time and we shouldnt really be in a hurry.

The adoption process after this pandemic influenced the most, with digital process Bitcoin able to adopt and now it's being use as token for investment, lots of big and small players are now here, it's better than the last time high the growth and popularity increases, you'll see known individuals inside finacial institutions who are also now involve investing with this asset, everything is continue progressing and future still clear for this valuable investment.

Bitcoin is still doing well despite many negative comments about bitcoin as its price continues to rise until it reaches its current high of $ 58,330. The news about bitcoin that will continue to fall is of course still very intense at this time, as evidenced by the significant decline in bitcoin in recent days.
However, some positive news about bitcoin has also emerged. The year 2021 is a new history for bitcoin, this proves that bitcoin can still continue to grow.

Of course bitcoin is in better shape now than it was 2 years ago. Now that bitcoin has experienced a new ATH, try to check the market,
maybe you are very sorry if you do not follow the development of bitcoin, especially if  you do  not  invest in  bitcoin. But  if  you  have
bitcoin from the past in 2018, it's already making a lot of profit today.

You can look at the chart of the Bitcoin market, and you will answer for yourself the progress over the last 2 years of Bitcoin. I think you are returning to cryptocurrencies just in time, because this year will be quite interesting.

Hello. Bitcoin is having the best of times :D.  I believe the price of bitcoin will be $ 100,000 in 2021, but I also read an article (https://cryptogeek.info/en/blog/new-btc-surge) that claims the opposite.

Those who suffered big losses back then for sure are feeling sorry for themselves, seeing how the development now and how
big the grow in value showed up.

But everything should be left from that past and you need to focus for the future, if you intend to continue your journey, dwelling
from your past won't help but instead moving forward will do.

Many hurdles have passed bitcoin over the past 2 years and at the peak when the pandemic hit where all economies were down in a few months but bitcoin was able to rise until now the price was already in the threshold of $ 11.7k which means is increase . many are still holding their coins if bitcoin will still increase more than this before they can sell in the market to make a good profit. Bitcoin is still in a good position where you can sell and make a good profit .

Early to bed, early to rise. Better make hay while the sun shines. This is the right time to invest/buy Bitcoin. Do not wait for the bear market it might not come. Bitcoin is getting better by the day.

Bitcoin might be at his new ATH again but I guess this is not yet over and say that it is in the good shape. There will be more coming of red days that market might drop again just like what happen 3 weeks ago. I think we can say that bitcoin is in a progressive move in that scenario we can say that it is very good move for BTC and a lot of things happen right now in this scenario. People might be shocked in this news or new ATH but those who been here before thinks that it will be more good in the next few days. I think bitcoin will reach 70 to 80k dollars. Who knows? And I wonder it is so possible to happen.

Yes, Bitcoin is now good shap and her price increase day by day. If you really cheak 2 years ago you saw bitcoin price highly increase and after time it price fall down. I hope same day waiting.

I think the reason why bitcoin price now is good is because more money people who use it, because the many people use bitcoin or buy bitcoin the highest chances that its price will goes up, base on the law of demand.

In my own experience I regret of not joining bitcoin community since my friends told my bitcoin can makes my life better.

Digital currencies are now being recognized and used by more people around the world than the past 2 years. Its noticeable growth and reputation in value has caught the attention of potential investors which in turn created a surge in the number of users. Now, it is recorded that about 1 million users transact bitcoin per day. Amidst the pandemic, the bitcoin price even spiked to 50k dollars which is a lot compared to the price of 4k dollars back in March 2019.

For sure bitcoin is in a good shape it's just keep getting better, look back to the old days of 2010 compared to the present state of bitcoin then you would know its really in a good shape. More companies, financial institutions and entrepreneurs are now investing in bitcoin and for sure the price would continue increasing, people are getting to see the benefits of bitcoin and are actually jumping in. Investing in bitcoin is an opportunity everyone needs to grab because it will surely pay off.
