Can we live Without btc?
I think we Can so then we Don't need it.
For money Transactions btc its a Bad choise.
Stable coins are good for Transactions.

So btc is Pure speculation its Only the matter of Time When government Will ban Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not needed You Can breathe without btc and you Can live uour daily life without btc.

There is no reason that government Will let the btc to stay alive.

Tron Ethereum are different those blockchains government Will use it for stable coins.

But Bitcoin?  What for is it? 

Yes, I definitely agree that we can live without bitcoin. Bitcoin existed for how many years yet people hundred years survive life without bitcoin and even the traditional money (cash/bill). But the point why traditional money and bitcoin made is to help the people to make the life easier. It was started from the digital money which from ATM and that makes people store money and transfer it without contacting the person in person. It have a lot of advantages I think you should try in your own to experience what I'm saying.

Stable coins like usdt trc20 is Solution. Its stable and you sleep well night time.
I really cant send btc to someone  and in 30 min price Will be lower and I have to pay fee Again to send full ammount.
With usdt the ammount is fixed.

is cryptocurrency a basic necessity? If you know the answer, then you don't need to find out any further reasons about stable coins, speculation, government bans, etc. You will stay alive.

Apart from private companies that make stable coins, I have never heard that there are govermetns that actually implement blockchain on their fiat officially, am I missing something here? do you mean CBDC?

They Don't Tell you this off course.
But cbdc Will be used the blockchains we all ready have it.
If they Tell you you not gona belive it so they together their cousins and own people know and Will buy the Right blockchains coins to be rich future themselfes.

You cant just create the CBDC lol it has no value no liqutity it has to start from somewhere.

In history

First there was wealth  then to give More value to wealth and keep it sustainable the governments was created.

Every revoulotioin is just way to Move super rich wealth smooth ways into the New system on the name of Revolution.

Yes we can live without BTC or cryptocurrency just like before when we even know about it.
But crypto specially Bitcoin is source of income for some of us specially during pandemic when most of the companies decided to close down or cut off some workers.
There is difference between centralized and decentralized crypto and you should also known that those centralized coin or alt-coins wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for the Bitcoin.

In the grand scheme of things, yes we can live without bitcoin but that doesn't mean that bitcoin is a bad thing. Just because it is unnatural doesn't mean that we have to not use it, remember that a lot of things are already synthetic and I don't think that you are going to abandon those things for a natural living too.

This question is very clear. It is impossible for any sovereign government in the world to give up the control of currency issuance.

Why not? There are millions of people that never touched any crypto yet and they live just fine. Crypto is fine but its absence wouldn't affect us critically. (unless you are a holder) If one day BTC (or something else) becomes as big as MasterCard or VISA and be cheaper than them, then we can have this talk again. Till then, the answer is "yes".

The answer is yes, we know beside us there are a million people who don't know about cryptocurrency yet. And they still live normally until now. But maybe we who already know cryptocurrency, must be grateful because some of ours life is better than they who don't know about cryptocurrency yet.

yes if we think there is true. if we look at the ancient people. Our ancestors also did not live with BTC because it was not a primary need that was very important for life.
but let's see from the other side because this btc is like secondary for me. because in addition to dealing with my future btc, I also keep it as my asset for now because we need to make a plan for our future life. and for me btc is one solution so that I can enjoy my old age in the future.
maybe some people think I am too naive because for the future it could be with fiat or other things.
But btc is a choice and everyone is free to choose and I choose this path

Cryptocurrency/Bitcoin hasn't got listed as the essentials of life. Right now food, shelter and clothing is the basic essentials. You may ask, for food, shelter and clothing who'll give the money. For this purpose one is supposed to develop his knowledge and make his essential needs fulfilled. Even now there are millionaires and billionaires without a single penny invested on cryptocurrencies/bitcoin. So, anyone can live without bitcoin.

Crypto has been what? just existed in the last 10 years. So obviously prior to that, people are living in pure fiat world. It was designed though to a micro payment, but what can we do it evolved itself to be an an speculative asset.

However, it seems that you contradict yourself, if you say that we can live without bitcoin then why government needs to ban them? Is bitcoin really growing that it becomes a financial threat today?

Many adopts BTC nowadays but doesn't mean we can't live without it, those who take advantage of this usefulness as a job or as a way to gain profit were lucky enough to know it, maybe if they dont know btc yet they were too focused in their careers or life as usual but since they discover and make the most out of it they were able to have a easier life in terms of making money provided they are knowledgeable in crypto trading.

Weren't we live once there wasn't any BTC? So why not can we live without BTC? Who knows BTC will be created and it will gain the market? Same we don't know what will happen after 10 years. Who knows if something new discovers after a few years and BTC becomes useless? Then peoples will run to new technology. You are comparing BTC with a few altcoins. But you should know the difference between technology and security. Many altcoins still facing 51% attack. Different coins have different configurations, we can't compare that. A stable coin is a centralized coin, BTC wasn't created for that.

Most of your topics about btc don't seem deserving, what ever gives you the impression that anyone can not live btc or eth you are trying to promote so much! if chose to live without crypto in general it is a choice, hating on btc won't change a thing, many have tried and give up eventually, am sure you will soon be among the list, between there is no need to shill eth, we aare well aware what eth is capable of and what btc is, for the majority to support btc more speaks volume, besides, eth is as speculative too.

I think many people forget that the real pioneering technology behind cryptocurrency is actually the blockchain. Where you can see the whole history of a large amount of transactions spreading back decades in an open source and decentralized way. Bitcoin is the first currency built on this tech and will has grown a huge name for itself for that very fact, however it might not last forever and may need to be replaced with a more environment friendly coin. The relatively low circulation amount (21 million) is both a blessing and a curse and its theoretical max amount of transactions per second is also extremely limiting for widespread real world applications it is trying to beat (aka card payment systems). I think in the distant future it will be regarded as a novelty and a special collectors item, but who knows how much value it will be able to retain for that purpose. We're seeing a bit of a tide change against it at the moment and if governments start taking heavy actions against it then we might just be a small way into the drop.

Live ? Definately, we can live without Bitcoins for sure, humans are able to adapt themselves to any situations and Bitcoins is more like a luxury right now to most people.

-Transactions can be more beneficial in Bitcoins too, considering you belong to a country where they widely accept Bitcoins and at the same time if you are transferring funds overseas it does have more advantages when they are done in Bitcoins.

-The fee is high ofc but you can still keep them as Investment.

-The scope of trading is definitely a plus point here.

•••••••
We can live without Bitcoins but they are providing us with additional benefits then why not use them properly?
•••••••
The whole idea was to give people an option against the decentralized economy because day by day we are having corruption being more and more integrated in the system plus its all controlled by rich and powerful people.

Of course, we can live without bitcoins. People, for example, lived without cars. However, they appeared, and people felt comfortable, although they can still do without them. The same is true for bitcoins. Having appeared, bitcoin provided us with almost complete freedom in financial relations. With him, it became possible to send our money to almost anywhere in the world relatively anonymously and without any intermediaries. You can live without bitcoins. But why give up comfort?

This is such a bad statement!

Can we live without sweets?
Can we live without fast food?
Can we live without alcohol?
Can we live without travelling?

There's so many things we can live without and it doesn't mean we don't need them. There are things that are essential for survival like food, warmth, a roof over your head, but it doesn't mean we don't need all the extras!

I could live without Bitcoin, but it doesn't mean I want to.

I'll let you know after this bubble finishes inflating.  :D

The answer to this question is easier than it sounds. Of course we can and at the same time of course we can’t. We can, because Bitcoin will not go anywhere in spite of all the prohibitions in the information field on this matter, in spite of all the prohibitions and restrictions, in spite of Elon Musk and his twitter! My parents still do not understand what the fuss about cryptocurrency is about, since they are not interested in it and it does not affect their lives in any way.

We do make our own choices and even without  bitcoin, we can still continue live freely.

But if we want to live with more value and meaning, living with bitcoin is definitely a life changing. If we want to live the best things in life, bitcoin can definitely give it provided that we also take chances and work hard to have even a single on it. I believe everything in life should be worked for and even with bitcoin, we do take the risk. It is by taking the risk that we learn how to value life.

Although we can live without bitcoin but it will not be as easy as there is bitcoin. I usually use cryptocurrency to pay something in some website. I have difficulty to use paypal, not so difficult but just not as convenient as bitcoin. I don't like stable coin because it doesn't give me profit. Bitcoin is amazing it can be the best medium of payment and investment at the same time.

If you do see bitcoin to be that way then why you do still hang out yourself into this place? All of your post is totally opposing bitcoins existence. lol

Its not that being evasive about the issues but its up to someones choice neither they would tend to engage with it or simply skips out.

That's very true. Even up until now, a large population in our world has not even touched nor transacted bitcoin. Maybe, they have heard it but dealt it with, nope. Still small percentage are into crypto. So basically, the answer is yes here. Even other members of our families don't even know that we are into crypto. But for those who know bitcoin/crypto and earned from it especially during this pandemic, will be very thankful that they encountered bitcoin. But for others, they can very well live without bitcoin.

Can we live without fiat?
What If I tell you yes? Would you believe that?
You seem to forget that Bitcoin was the first Cryptocurrency, without it Eth and those stable coins you have mentioned that runs on their blockchain don't exist.

Now, let's get down to your argument. Why do you use crypto for monetary transactions when you can easily use your bank or fiat currency? Traditional monetary transactions is far less complex than using crypto.

Why do you need to use stable coin if you have a wire transfer lol. Crypto is not only how stable the stable coin is. I thought that if justin already told you about the history of crypto.
Is it difficult to pick trc USDT if you are not even interesting to use bitcoin?
You're always making nonsense things and you have been making your own life is complicated.  :D

life without bitcoin for a long time may still be possible, but for now more and more things are developing digital and adopting blockchain technology that is owned by bitcoin so today it can be said that it is impossible to live without bitcoin, because bitcoin parent of all cryptocurrencies in circulation.

This is same thinking process that every government will have that banned cryptocurrency trading, the market is less than a decade old and why would they need anyone to trade in a new market :P.

 What are the stable coins you can trust. Why use them when you have fiat.

So list me a few coins, forget a few just tell me one coin in the market that are not mere speculation.

No one forced you to use BTC, if you think it is not for you who asked you to use them. Tron and ETH are different in terms of scam facilitators as the amount of scam these created are huge :P.
Government will shut your favorite coins first for facilitating scam FYI.

You can live without bitcoin if you didn't need the decentralized economic system and you can go back again to the centralized traditional economic system.
We are here to get into the decentralized economic system like bitcoin.

Your question is actually clueless. People need food but it doesn't mean if there's no an important thing other than food.

We can still live without it, maybe those who gain and depend their income in Bitcoin cannot live without it because it is hard for them to start again from the start. It doesn't matter because gaining income or profit  can be done easily as long you have perseverance and you are hardworking.  Bitcoin is just an add on of your investment which is not totally stable. Talking about other coins will be somewhat critical because we all know that Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency.

it can happen when the crypto market already has other big powers like bitcoin.
for example, if later ETH or USDT take over the domination of the crypto market as a whole.
because this market is actually in the hands of traders and investors. it all depends on the deals made by the crypto market.
Even I myself dreamed, what if BTC was frozen completely. no BTC trades in a certain time. they can own but cannot sell for a certain amount of time, like 5-10 years in the future.
then how will this market still work? we will see a solution.

I can still live without BTC, but BTC and altcoins already help me to make more money from the increased of its price. I can still live without BTC but stay on the old house and driving on old car, but BTC helped me to buy bigger house and new car . So, BTC was make my life much better and more happy.

Yes of course why not.. As the matter of fact there's a bunch of crypto currency in the market so perhaps we can live without bitcoin and we can find a substitute for it wherein while there's no a good project with the same technology and etc.  So in my personal opinion no need to worry if bitcoin suddenly dissappear because everything here can be replaced.. Indeed every year there's alot of good project emerging on this crypto space so why not?

It is true if people do not have other jobs, of course it is very difficult if faced with the condition that there is no bitcoin,
but back again to each of us if we continue to want to live I'm sure we will work hard to earn a living,
with bitcoin it can be said to be the king of cryptocurrency, of course it will affect other coins

So silly question bitcoin is the thing that started it all, even though it's more of a precious digital goods or digital gold than having any utility other than having remmittance functionality nowadays it's still essential, most of coins also paired against it
Yes ETH, BSC, or even TRON that you keep glorifying since like a month ago have better features than btc but do you think a coin is just that? just because those features the coin deserve to have high value? definitely not BTC could become so expensive nowaday because most of people always recognize btc first.

You already answer your question. We can live without bitcoin, and we can still search for another way to make money. People seem not to care about the speculation of bitcoin because as long as they can make money from bitcoin, they will still do that. The government seems to want to be involved in bitcoin, but they need more time to realize the benefits of bitcoin. So I think the government will let bitcoin grows.

Can we live without you (cryptoboss2020) ?

"I think we can, because we dont need YOU" and your topics. It looks that you dont understand what cryptocurrency was created really for. Crypto is not about simply making transactions or a "digital money" as you think.

If you think that the only reason of not having something, because a person can breath without it, then you have a prehistoric thinking or a logic of a kindergarten level. Al you need is air and food.

So you're against Bitcoin staying here? so why not consider leaving since this is Bitcoin forum?
if government will ban bitcoin then so for altcoins right?
But we can live more without SHITCOINS like what you are pushing.
Lol , If the government will really wanted this out, then why not they stop it 10 years ago?

and also why government are investing also in here.

So those are the Shitcoins that you wanted ?

BTC gave financial freedom, cash is controlled by the government but we cannot erase the fact that fiat will remain as the main medium of exchange. BTC on the other hand made transaction easier and gave financial freedom to people by decentralization. Even if we can  live without BTC it doesn't mean we don't need it. People and also the government is just afraid of what is new and innovative. In time cryptocurrency and blockchain tech will be widely used by everyone.

Literally speaking, we can live without Bitcoin. Many people are still living even though they aren't using Bitcoin or they don't anything about crypto.
You can say that we don't need it but for some people, they need it for some reasons.

This is true at some points but Stable coins aren't being used for transactions either.
I'd rather transact to others using digital fiat currency than Bitcoin or other coins.

Unfortunately that isn't the case right now. There might be some countries that will ban it but most of the countries will just be rather not involved themselves into it than banning it.
We can live without Bitcoin of course. We can breathe without Bitcoin of course but I don't see any reason too that Government will ban Bitcoin :).

The Question is Not I want You want.
The Question is what the government want.

Yes, we can live without bitcoin. But if Bitcoin will not be here so crypto market can crush very hardly.. because many investors like only BTC and there are many pairs of BTC with other altcoins on exchanges. If BTC will be no here then the crypto market will fully change.

Silly questions only reduce your credibility. We already have a POLO7, at least we see something interesting in him when the knowledge he shares is a bit interesting.

WE CAN LIVE AND LIVE WELL WITHOUT BITCOIN IS MY ANSWER AND I'M SURE ABOUT IT.
The world still has billions of people making a living outside of the cryptocurrency market. So whether or not Bitcoin does not matter. Without Bitcoin, there is no altcoin.
Without Bitcoin, there would be no Bitcoin billionaires and millionaires.

It depends per individual I think. If you consider money as something that keeps you alive and surviving and you somehow rely a lot on bitcoin, then you probably would have a hard time living without it. Some people consider money as life while others do not really pay attention to it. Bitcoin was never made to  keep people alive, instead it is made for people to have their financial freedom whilst independent on the government's grip. Bitcoin can be an effective way on how you can escape from poverty if ever you can outsmart it and it can also help you in securing your future financially.

We have been leaving before bitcoin invention, and so many can still leave without it, we have many people on this earth that leaves without having money in their pockets for about a month and they still leave and survive, bitcoin adoption to masses will take longer time than expected and so it's best to have the knowledge and understand the purpose of bitcoin to be a decentralized assets.

Along the way of bitcoin making the society a better place, a system of exchange and other commercial platforms could be created for the benefits of decentralization.

And tell me, if governments could get rid of bitcoin as easily as you make it out to be then why they have not done something about it? Can they ban bitcoin? Of course but that is not going to be enough to make it disappear, in fact they know that which is why they do not take this step and instead are trying to regulate it, I do not know that happened to you, if you sold your coins for a bad price or if you got scammed but you need to stop this, not because of us but for you as this negativity you have against bitcoin will only backfire on you.

Yes obviously we can.
Its just a currency. There is a lot of alternatives in the field.
So It's doesn’t seems that btc is everything.
Yes its a big crypto currency but not that big that we can't live without it.

I agree that bitcoin is just a currency and people can still enjoy living life even without it. But for those who are used to making profits with bitcoin, it's hard to live without it. There are a lot of big opportunities brought by bitcoin and if we are aware of that and  create some actions, then we can also enjoy the best in life with bitcoin. Most of the people cannot relate with it but for bitcoin ethusiasts, bitcoin is a big thing.

Yes we can live without bitcoin, because before it was invented we were all living our normal lives, but that doesn't mean the price is purely based on speculation, the price is comtrolled by demand and supply just like other commodity, governments ban bitcoin because they don't want their citizens to make use of a decentralized currency which they can't control.

This is a pretty silly topic honestly, because I can't recall where it was stated in bitcoin's whitepaper that bitcoin was going to be the air we breathe , so why talking about things that does not relate to bitcoin?, also you think government will place a ban on bitcoin and make use of Ethereum and tron, you're dreaming right? Cause those coins are also decentralized if you don't know  :-\

Bitcoin is Pure speculation many People Don't understood really about this wonderful Technology.  To be honest I Don't understood also all I know It's just digital gold but Bitcoin creators should say it its just digital gold.
No need to say that is truly needed thing.

First If You want to Exchange btc in money You need to pay all that high fees.
But with bitcoins You cant do much You need always to convert it to fiat currency.

And price is going Up and down Up down...  Like some flashing lights  lights off lights on...

Bitcoin is community value control while stable coin (FIAT) is centralized value control by government.
I agree that Bitcoin is not a goodc choice for transaction, but theres many another alternative like EOS or TRX that already adopted in Venezuela as payment processor.

If you were pertaining to the fact that if we can still go on into our daily life routines even without concerning the existence of Bitcoin and still do make it to survive everyday, then of course we can obviously. Bitcoin is not really a need to be exact. It might be a want which makes us strive harder to acquire and possess it for we are wanting the benefits we can acquire with it. But that want can also be a need depending on the individual's perception of what is Bitcoin's role in his life. I can live without Bitcoin in my life but since it becomes a part of my daily life, it will be something unfamiliar vibe if ever Bitcoin will be gone.

Crypto money has become such for people that now yes, it can be lived without BTC. Does it affect the market badly in the long term? Yes. But after a while, people can live without btc. BTC is the starting point of the cryptocurrency market, but as technology advances, replacements will of course someday rule it out. We will see this in a better way in the future. This is completely dependent on the direction of the market and governments.

Of course we can live without bitcoin, its not an essential thing that people cant live without.
Many people are still not using/investing in bitcoin but doing fine even without it.
However for us, it makes our lives more convenient especially in sending money.
The opportunity to earn is also one of the reason why many of us are engaging ourselves in this speculative asset.

Agreed but in the long run, Coin like TRX and EOS which value is very volatile will not be use for payment. Stable coin will still govern in the long rung in terms of payment industry. I believe typical altcoins with volatile value are only meant for investment purposes only because they are only utility token on there own respective blockchain.

We all can certainly live without bitcoin. I was even born before the arrival of Bitcoin and recently got introduced into the industry. Bitcoin may not be a life sustaining asset, but it's certainly an economic advantage for those who are willing to hold for long term. I can only imagine if I had gotten some bitcoin 10 years ago, I probably would be the richest person in my neighbourhood.

It is obvious that we can still live without bitcoin and any other cryptocurrencies. Just look at some people that are not able to buy it or can't still embrace the use of digital currencies, did something happen to them? How can a scarce asset become a necessity?

Bitcoin is only an investment, it is our choice to buy it or not. It is not the traditional payment currency unlike fiat so living without it won't be a problem and I don't see bitcoin as the global currency in the future as its price is very volatile.

live without BTC? why not, many people around me have never owned crypto assets and they don't even know what crypto is. Crypto is not the only thing that sustains human life, with or without the presence of humans, they will look for ways to stay alive.

I think it is irrational if questions like this are made in bitcointalk threads, because the bitcoin is a not everything in the investment, because there is still so many investments out there that can give us benefits, the evidence is that there is so many people in this world who doesn't know BTC, but can reap the benefits of other investments,

True, Having no bitcoin in cryptocurrency now will change and how the market works right now. It will alter the market flow of crypto and could make people confused on what to trust on crypto.

In reality, Anyone could live without crypto. Just sticking to the traditional way of finance could make you through the day. Up to now, There still many who has no idea about bitcoin, and yeah they could live on what the world has to offer right now.

You were said "there is no reason that government Will let the btc to stay alive", then could you explain to me why BTC still alive, even is growing day by day. Can you image if BTC die now, does still exist any of the crypto alive in the crypto market. The answer is clear, BTC will live and die with the crypto world.

true. Bitcoin may be considered imperfect as a means of payment due to unstable costs, but bitcoin makes a new technological era until now, bitcoin is more suitable as a means of investment, following the development of existing technology in bitcoin. If thinking for a stable coin transaction is a good option.

Bitcoin is called a bubble because there are no guaranteed backups, but the technology is in high demand, making everyone who wants to learn new things interested in learning bitcoin. I don't blame the person who is in this bubble, so that's true for him, until he misses the great moment of bitcoin.

There are lots of people out there who don't know crypto like BTC and they are living just fine. it indicates that the crypto world is an option, if we want to dive into it then we can get income even big profits if we are good at managing it. There are several countries that have not been able to accept crypto because of the policies of the government itself. so we cannot insist that everything must be crypto, it is an option.

Yes, they are fine without knowing about bitcoin. I am sure we can live like them even if we do not know bitcoin or bitcoin is never created. Bitcoin is just a part of our life and that is an option for people to know or not to know bitcoin and there are no forces to know bitcoin. If the government does not accept crypto, that will be okay for their people but we hope that the government is ban and block bitcoin because bitcoin is the chance for people to make money.

I think that the cryptocurrency market will die if bitcoin will disappear, because bitcoin is the basis of all cryptocurrencies and we all see how many big players invest in bitcoin and in general for manipulators bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency for pump and dump, so I don't think that at least one cryptocurrency can replace bitcoin either now or in the future, so let bitcoin always be at the first place because bitcoin is the basis of the entire cryptocurrency sphere.

Btc is the parent of crypto, without BTC, crypto will not be able to develop until now, for some people who depend their lives on crypto it might be difficult if BTC dies, but for people who use crypto just to increase their income it will not matter much because surely they don't depending on the income on the crypto market.

We only need food and air to live life as a human being. And still we won't a lot of other things too. Bitcoin is one of those things in my life that I want. It was the first big crypto currency and no one can take that away from Bitcoins. For many people when we talk about cryptos they actually mean Bitcoins. Even if other coins are better it doesn't mean that Bitcoins are going to disappear. I will fight for Bitcoins to survive. And governments might not like them and try to ban them, but it is not their decision. Long term there is no way around bitcoins.

That is the problem if people who don't have other jobs, of course it will be difficult if they imagine bitcoin will die,
I completely agree with your opinion because the fact is that without bitcoin cryptocurrency would not have developed this far,
I hope bitcoin will not die because of course it will be a nightmare for everyone

That is why bitcoin is a really popular coin because if ordinary people talk about cryptocurrency, they are talking about bitcoin,
which is clearly difficult to be sure if you hear that bitcoin is dead,
especially for people who do not have other jobs and depend on bitcoin for their lives it will be complicated

sure, but with BTC is better :)

10 years ago Bitcoin was only at the price of $ 1, haha it is amazing the development of the Bitcoin price so far,
and it seems that this year is indeed a very extraordinary year for cryptocurrencies, to the point that many people say that they depend on Bitcoin,
huh all jobs are now on the internet, just imagine without the internet we will definitely feel difficult, its not about live without BTC but im sure we cant

Basic needs of man to live is food and air but in our current life here in this world, to be able to have a food in your table you also need money that you can use to purchase foods and other eesential goods in life. Also money is need to purchased services. In basic aspects of needs of man we don't need bitcoin but since we are kow dealing in a most advance world where sooner all the transactions will be made through online we need a digital asset too. Bitcoin is not essentially need but it is a wants.

It's true you don't need bitcoins when you breathe, the same way you don't need an iPhone or android to breathe. What's more, you also don't need the internet to breathe and to buy vegetables or bread, you also don't need the internet.
So Bitcoin is the result of human creativity which is also an innovation in the future so that it can be developed to be even more perfect with a clear goal of getting a convenience and security and ease of transactions. Life moving forward is a choice, and if you choose to remain primitive human, that's a bad choice and won't change anything for the better.

Yeah, go away and do not own bitcoin. There is someone else who wants to have without any doubt. You can have your own set and choice of cryptocurrencies.
But no matter how you do not like it, bitcoin will continue to thrive without you.

The answer is very clear, of course we can live without BTC, because we can also live before the existence of BTC, but for now, if BTC is eliminated, major countries will feel the impact, for example, such as Russia, United States, Japan, and other countries that have started using crypto for everyday life

You will always search for a better place where you can put your money. Our demand is always increasing, but Tether price is fixed, so supply must be increased. Tether is free to print more and more USDT, so we don't have any privacy and benefits. We won't use Bitcoin without any benefit, Bitcoin supply is fixed. You know that our money isn't safe in the bank and the government can't track our Bitcoin.

Simple as that! you can do whatever you want as there are always someone who will continue to support and believe to this system.

If you don't nobody will care about your personal insight, you can own other types of crypto or any other investment that you like, there's no need to discuss this concern you can live a life that you choose.

Bitcoin will continue even without you, there are many who loves ro work with it and enjoy the benefits.

Yes. I can live without btc but not like present. BTC isn’t part of my life. Btc is help me for living. I use btc for trading and sending payment. It’s make easy my life. But, i believe i can live without btc. If you saying about other cryptocurrency, then my answer is btc is best from others.

Life without bitcoin or altcoin of course you can, Many people use bitcoin or altcoin not for transactions but they use bitcoin as an investment, while transactions are used as an alternative to paper money, in essence people get a lot of benefits from investing in the world's cryptocurrency.

Of course we can live without bitcoin, it’s far from impossible to live without bitcoin. The question is if we want to live without bitcoin though & I certainly don’t. Bitcoin has made my life, I can’t thank Satoshi enough.

It is true that most people use Bitcoin for investment, so that it can be a source of income. If for financial transactions most people still use paper
money, and Bitcoin is used only as an alternative. Also, not all countries allow using Bitcoin as payment, so we can actually live without Bitcoin.
But for me now who has been using Bitcoin for 5 years, it looks like Bitcoin has become a part of my life. So life without Bitcoin is not perfect
and something is missing, so I don't want to live without Bitcoin.

A decade ago, there was nothing known as bitcoin. But people were still able to live without it, right? As of today, I guess less than 50% of the people in the world owns bitcoin. The rest 50% are still surviving right? But, it looks like you are talking about bitcoin existing in the crypto market. If bitcoin never existed, I doubt any other altcoins we have today would exist. Again, if bitcoin dies, I am sure other altcoins will die too. People will lose confidence in the crypto market. Just look at what had happen when Tesla stopped accepting bitcoin.

Agree, also many mining hardware would became useless and damage peoples economy.
For country like Venezuela which damaged by hyper inflation, cryptocurrency is already adopted so well to resolve the issue.

of course you can if the internet dies, but if someone decides to live without bitcoin it could happen, but if I ban mass use it will be difficult, unless there is no more internet like I said earlier, actually it all depends on people's response to If bitcoin is good, it will grow. If it's bad, it will be abandoned.

of course not ;D

You are trolling right ? Your statement look eaither you are trolling or you dont know what bitcoin all about. We dont need stable coin bevause it could easily printed out of thin air. There is no different between stable coin and fiat. Bitcoin making it fair for everyone because you can not easily mint it.

It was begun from the advanced cash which from ATM and that makes individuals store cash and move it without reaching the individual face to face. There is contrast among incorporated and decentralized crypto and you should likewise realized that those concentrated coin or alt-coins wouldn't be here the present moment if not for the Bitcoin.

OP is already shilling around the forum with his favorite stablecoin. I would just advise to put OP into ignore.
Stablecoins are different from Bitcoin. It's like comparing with apples and oranges.

That's for sure, bitcoin is thriving despite all of those negativity that it has absorbed and thrown to it for several years. But where are those people now who have said of the same thing about bitcoin? I don't think that they're here to be talked about because most of them have a regret now that they should've bought bitcoin when they've spent their time talking negatively about bitcoin.

Before BTC created, all people can live without it. Bitcoin and its blockchain is new kind of technology that will changing the world. We know now, how many people get rich from BTC, although the world in financial crisis, war and pandemic. BTC given solution for our life much better.

Well, many people can live without BTC. Simply because they have not heard of it. Also others are not too concentrated in money making via crypto so they always do crypto only as a side hustle and not as a full time trading or career. Other cannot live because they have no money therefore they have no interest to concern themselves with trading or investing of crypto. So in a sense, yes, we can live without cryptocurrency in general, and not just Bitcoin or ethereum.

people before there was bitcoin or altcoin will definitely continue to run a normal life, but someone will continue to look for convenience throughout life for example with the existence of bitcoin and altcoin we can make payments or exchange money quickly between countries and even the world if we don't know bitcoin and altcoin there will be no stable coins or other coins and we will continue to hold on to fiat money, which means that we are facilitated in financial transactions today and in the future with the existence of bitcoins and altcoins that exist today.

It was begun from the computerized cash which from ATM and that makes individuals store cash and move it without reaching the individual face to face. There is contrast among concentrated and decentralized crypto and you should likewise realized that those brought together coin or alt-coins wouldn't be here the present moment if not for the Bitcoin.

Yes of course we can live without bitcoin. Why? because it's not something major in our daily life yet. It's not like bitcoin has replace fiat and has been used as tool for transaction. No, even if bitcoin is gone, things will still go as it can. However of course things will be different now that bitcoin is gone, many people relied many of their lives on bitcoin, we need the technology to advance further to the future too, and there are still other benefits of bitcoin. Just like that, then we can also live without eth, that's just the same thing.

ofcourse we can live without btc, its just that we need to make money, profit for using and keeping btc, remember before, you don't know bitcoin, but you still live , but for now we need it, also during this time where there is a pandemic, botcoin and other crypto is where we can earn.

this goes back again to primary needs and secondary needs, because basically if seen from now on bitcoin could be a secondary need (for me) and I'm sure a lot of people think of it that way because if we look at it it's true bitcoin has no effect on life in social but to see bitcoin useful we have to look ahead at least there must be planning for a better life, well here bitcoin is needed because for some people bitcoin is like a treasure and will remain that way, at least for the next few years

the world will always accept Bitcoin, even though the government doesn't like it especially for United states,
because Bitcoin is considered a threat, but for the community, Bitcoin is a friend and very useful for life, like gold, silver and other assets,
10 more years we've been together with bitcoin, and its results are simply extraordinary, cannot be underestimated

bitcoin not totally adopted in our life, so it doesnt matter if we live without bitcoin. but we will missing opportunity to work in crypto space which is give us more freedom in place or time. we could work anytime anywhere we want if bitcoin or crypto market exist in this world. so we hope real adoption will coming in next periode.

Living with Bitcoin is the best decision I've ever made so I think, I can't live without Bitcoin neither without cryptocurrency.
We are living in a growing market and bitcoin change the game plan of many people, from an ordinary cash transactions now we are using an online platforms to make a faster transactions and we all love that. If I choose to live in the past with a poor financial system, I'd rather not to go back.

Of course, we can continue to live without Bitcoin too. There are already better alternatives for it when it comes to transaction fees, speed etc. . But Bitcoin is still the most preferred cryptocurrency now. I think that one of the biggest reasons is its being the first coin in the market. Because of that, people have extra respect for it and they believe in it more than the other ones.

Thanks for this.
I read some comments and it was as if everyone was ignorant of what he asked and are going on his side.
This things are simple things we shouldn't be asking, should be asked by a kid though
Can we live without btc?
Can we live without a phone?
You forgot these things where not there in ages ago, civilization brought them. Even the btc is not up to 20years and you're asking if we can leave without it. We've been living without it for long but now that it's here we can still leave without it but I myself don't want to, maybe you may not like btc but everyone likes are different. Btc is important to some people and not important to others.

We can like without BTC, many people in this thread point out how BTC ain't something necessities to our daily life. But it also up to each person's attachment to BTC because there are people who can't live on without something that ain't in the category of "necessities". I've read some news ages ago about a guy who killed himself because of losing investment in BTC or crypto. That kind of thing makes you realize there are people that can't live without BTC.

In past year BTC is everything who know this crypto and I am sure everyone should love this project from start. Every Exchange has btc trading pair. Around the world people got something from btc as well. With limited supply and current rate BTC will grow much more then previous times. At present time we can definitely say that we can not live without Bitcoin.

I live without BTC when i was a kid,but since i have known about BTC,BTC is closely related to my life and never leave,so that i cant live without BTC now. Besides, i don't think government can actually ban BTC because of it is decentralized and have a strong consensus around the world.

Your post against bitcoin because you explained Bitcoin as your bad choice. Binance coin also very good for transactions. As I can live without food but can't live without cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin is generally more popular in the world of crypto for those who know the proper use of bitcoin surviving without bitcoin is a little impossible but not difficult. Bitcoin is a very good currency for investment but in many countries bitcoin is not yet in circulation in which case they can survive without bitcoin you need to use bitcoin as well as other currencies.

I feel like the cryptocurrency industry would be greatly distressed without bitcoin. Bitcoin seems like the legal tender and a universal currency in this space. This explains why every centralised exchange lists bitcoin and have a bitcoin market, where other cryptocurrencies can be traded for Bitcoin. I really don't know what it would feel like to have bitcoin out of the market, but it would bring about a massive lacuna in the industry.

the government will indeed have difficulty banning bitcoin because of the nature of bitcoin itself, no one controls and runs it. but the government can do something, if it is felt that bitcoin is being misused for purposes that are not in line with the government, for example for money laundering from corruption and drug trafficking.
With strict regulations and legal sanctions, it is certain that people will be afraid to violate government rules.

Bitcoin is already known in almost all countries that are familiar with the use of the internet, because everything is related to the internet. but there are still many countries that do not give permission for bitcoin to be used as a legal medium of exchange and can be used freely. It is clear that until now bitcoin is indeed suitable for long-term investment, although today daily trading is also quite popular because of the difference in variance that occurs between rising and falling which is quite attractive and the movement is quite fast.

I believe the question was, Can we live without btc? Were we not living without BTC before its invention? You will never worry about something you do not know like we never worried when we didn't know anything about Bitcoin. But now that we know what Bitcoin is and how much we can make from investing in it, it might seem different to us.
 

for now I think there are many people who know bitcoin and many people have put their money or stored it in bitcoin so I think bitcoin will still be used by many people and of course if bitcoin is removed from human life in my opinion it is not possible.

At the moment, bitcoin is used as value for everything else, there are other coins. Yes, we can live without bitcoin, but it is better to have in our portfolio at least 10% in bitcoin than stablecoins 40% at a time when the government only prints US dollars.

For that I agree because I'm not sure bitcoins will be deleted,
but if we try to imagine that bitcoins are phased out it looks like it will be difficult for some people who don't have other jobs,
this is certainly not easy to pass and requires patience

Of course we can live and survive without bitcoin as our lives were never dependent on bitcoin. We still need fiat for our daily livings. Bitcoin has disappointed in terms of buying items of daily living like bread, coffee etc. Its still mostly used as an asset of investment.

when bitcoin was not yet invented by Satoshi Nakamoto we leave peacefully and survive making our own transactions using traditional fiat or stablecoin but things changed so fast because of innovation and technology it happens they formed Digital currency and that is "Bitcoin"through its uniqueness being a decentralized curreny which create a noise in the digital world. Through its payment method which are easily adopted by many followers because of its high profitability many people invested in this coin and now they are most leading coins in the cryptoworld.

15 years ago people were convinced they can live without smartphones and laptops. Does this mean we don't need them now?

To start with, Bitcoin is not oxygen. So, why not. The only thing we can't live without on this earth is Oxygen! Again, we had our life and led it well before Bitcoin or the idea of cryptocurrency was introduced. I don't see why we can't live without it now. Quite alright, the concept and tech of Bitcoin is phenomenal but we can't say it's indispensable. Who knows, may be another tech may displace it completely a decade or more from now just the same way Fiat displaced cowries, and cowries displaced Barter.

Most people are not visionaries they do not know why they need a product until the reality hits them right in the face, we know why bitcoin is valuable as it is going to be a way to protect your wealth against the crisis that is coming, but for the rest of the people this is not a cause of concern as they do not care about the future as much as they like to believe, but once the crisis comes then they will finally understand why we need something like bitcoin and they will use it even if by then they have lost most of their wealth.

We can live without bitcoin, but it will be more difficult than it is now. When I need to make a payment on a website, I normally utilize cryptocurrencies. I find it tough to use PayPal. it's not impossible, but it's not as convenient as Bitcoin. I dislike stable coins since they do not generate profit for me. Bitcoin is incredible. it has the potential to be both a payment and an investment vehicle.

I totally agree, we can live without it especially when we have a job that can surely provide things we needed. But, this was nice also because it will help us and gain additional income for us during those times when we don't have nothing. To those who depend their income to bitcoin, I guess they cannot live without it especially when they don't have something to sustain without bitcoin. But if you learn to be an hardworking and have a creative mind to solve the problem especially on financial needs, then you don't have to worry anything.

I think it depends on your outlook in life like for example people want to live in the province and live without internet, plant vegetables, etc, but the thing is are you going to live your life like that as we know in the future there are things we can't ignore like, internet, cellphones or gadgets, these things are now needed to live life even when you are in rural areas, sooner or later you have to face the truth that it is needed and it's very important that you know this early because if you will ignore it now and then have a change of heart in the future you might regret those decissions.

I don't think that's what was meant. will the crypto market survive when bitcoin is no longer in the crypto market?
I think it will destabilize the crypto market. because we know how BTC dominates in the crypto market. coin stability may become a benchmark that can control how the crypto market runs. but obviously, it will require a very long stabilization. it's just a matter of agreement.

Bitcoin does not exist in 2009 and before I think but we live without it, of course we can live without it also with more than a hundred cryptocurrency now in the market of course if the Bitcoin will be gone (Which is impossible) I think there is a coin out there that will replace Bitcoin in not time probably it's fork or other similar coins.

Life without BTC is certainly very possible and that has happened before Bitcoin was created, but for now it is clear that the global BTC exchange has been so extensive that it has created such a large commodity that currently BTC is used as an investment tool, so is it just a ban on BTC will disappear? Of course it will be very difficult.

it is true as alternatives to fiat for everyday expenses / transactions there are better solutions than bitcoin such as eth, tron, bnb and stablecoins but i don't know i am masybe nostalgic to me bitcoin would be missing if it suddenly disappeared it is the point of current reference of all crypto markets and also a symbol, the symbol of possible financial freedom and independence from the banking system

There are a lot of people who know BTC and use this coin for their own goals, but to tell the truth there are still some people who don't know anything about BTC and can not imagine that there are several digital money. For this reason, to live without BTC can be hard for people who know about BTC and put their money in BTC, that is why if BTC is removed, that means you lose all your money because there is not anyone who you can say your problem about your losing money in the crypto world.

It's hard to imagine a market without Bitcoin.
Everything will hold on to it, if suddenly bitcoin drops to 0, the rest of the crypt will do the same, because if bitcoin could fall, any other currencies will be able to. Therefore, I believe that no, we cannot.

That was also evident from the recent bear run. When BTC collapsed/dropped there was not a single coin that survived and they went down by an even higher value as compared to Bitcoin. As much as can criticize bitcoin that it is only a payment option and provides no value and transactions are costly blah blah, we cannot underestimate the market cap it holds and the fact that everything started from bitcoins and then these altcoins were created.

We can live without bitcoins or cryptos of course but for me, personally, bitcoin and cryptocurrency have become an integral part of my life and I guess if BTC is suddenly collapsed or anything like that happens, it would be a really traumatizing event for me. Yes, I can live without crypto but because I have been part of this community for such a long time and I have earned so much with it, I feel like it's a big part of my life now.

Yes indeed we can live without bitcoin but in my opinion bitcoin is not a bad thing because from bitcoin some people get a source of income, even for people who know bitcoin should be more grateful because there are still many people out there who don't know about crypto

yes, with or without bitcoin, we can still live because surely people will still look for ways to survive in any condition, but with bitcoin, for some people who understand it, this can be a field to find additional income, as well as an alternative in investing because of its high value, and can also be used as a transaction tool because many have accepted bitcoin, bitcoin is not a bad thing to coexist with human life.

every development will certainly become a necessity later, just as money is transformed from the barter system. for now I think we don't have a problem if we don't have bitcoin, because it hasn't been legalized like money, but it's different if we don't have money then we can die, especially if we live in the city, all of which need money

Bitcoin has 40 - 45% market dominance, so it is not possible. We usually see the altcoins bull run mostly inter related to bitcoin. When btc rise, every crypto asset rise. If we want to live without btc, than dominance should be in between 10 to 20%. So it is clearly that we need strong altcoin asset to grow at the btc end.

This is a funny topic. I will try and answer all the funny things asked in OP.

Of course, we can. Bitcoin is just 10+ years old but humans are know for living on this plant for at least 5000 years ;D.

Can we live without parents? Of course, we can but that doesn't mean we don't need them.

That's your personal opinion and due respect I disagree. I think while stable coins are good for the ecosystem, they don't offer any benefit in the long term as an investor.

They tried and failed, you cannot ban something that is decentralized.

I guess governments will rather create their own blockchain and stable coin instead of using an already running blockchain

I can't understand how a guy with 322 activity, do not have ample knowledge about how Bitcoin works and its potential, obviously, you are creating a FUD, but it will not work it's already over ten years and people already have established their belief on Cryptocurrency it's impossible for them to give up their belief and be like you who do not have believed even if he is active in this forum.

Of course we can live with or without Bitcoin. We shouldn't connect fully to a cryptocurrency. None of the cryptocurrencies guarantee you that they will exist forever. Besides, Bitcoin is not the only crypto in the market. If it didn't exist there'd be another coin in its place instead.

The influence of cryptocurrencies in our lives is increasingly evident. I think for our lives, the future of cryptocurrency will be more applicable to many industries as well as many different fields. Personally, I have been involved with this market for many years and I have found that it has actually made life so much better.

Yes, I agree. Our lives are influence in cryptocurrencies and it really makes our life so much better. But, if you will be asked if you can live without btc then I guess its a yes, its just need a hardwork and patience in it. Try to find a stable job for you to gain profit and sustain your needs.

We can actually live without Bitcoin I strongly acknowledge that fact and it's really so unstable and can't be used for transactions but on the long run it's one of the most preferred coin acceptable by all for major transactions, a few are actually drifting to altcoin but we still have a huge player who demands Bitcoin and would even prefer holding than transacting with it

do you see any other coins like BTC? which has the dominance and market power as strong as BTC?
for now I it will still hard to market this without BTC. quite the opposite, if I lose BTC very suddenly, I'm afraid the crypto market will crash. does not mean lost, but this is like we have to build from scratch related to the market and the losses received by BTC holders.

of course we can live without BTC, but do you mean BTC is used only for transacting? obviously not
Bitcoin is an investment in the future and not a stable coin whose price doesn't go up

Very true. There are people that even know about Bitcoin but are not engaged in trading Bitcoin and there are still leaving. I believe that because Bitcoin has brought a lot of financial gains and supposedly freedom to people that are engaged in investing in it makes it look like, Can we now live without Bitcoin? when in actuality, many are still living without engaging in Bitcoin.

I can't. Not because I spend bitcoin everywhere I go or I trade and make profit that way and so forth. However I work and I earn bitcoin, sure if you can remove bitcoin from crypto list and all other coins still stays then I can keep getting paid in other coins, which I usually do these days because bitcoin gas fee is a lot and there are free gas fee cryptos so why not pick them.

However if you end up removing all the altcoins along with bitcoin then all of my life would change, I would have to start working for other people again in offices and I hated that, don't get me wrong I would still do it because the alternative would be poverty, but I would hate that. I love my job currently and I am not going to change that anytime soon if I can keep going. That is why I think crypto makes my life and if I end up without crypto then my life would suck big time.

we are still alive altough we have no bitcoin in our lives, but without bitcoin we loss opportunity to earn additional income from this market. since covid 19 pandemic alot of people start working from home, and ofcourse their income could decrease alot. So finding new opportunity from this market will help our condition to face covid 19.

Of course we can live without bitcoin just as we can live without smartphones, curved OLED TV's and social media but all those things are part of most people daily lives. I know you can't compare those things one to one because almost everyone is watching TV and calling people but only a fraction of the population is engaged with cryptos. But even within the crypto space i think we don't really need bitcoin anymore because to be honest nowadays there are other projects out there that are just offering way more like Ethereum, as you already mentioned. Does this mean though that will disappear? 100% not bitcoin was the first of it's kind and paved the way for all the other cryptos and will most likely be the no. 1 crypto for a long time if not for ever.

we can live with bitcoin, but can not have the financial freedom as it is today, therefore I am very grateful to know bitcoin is very helpful to me, also in terms of the economy it changed my life a lot, when I have nothing, now I can buy whatever I want.

Why not? In times of correction like this mentality is tested. There are quite a lot of choices to invest in, but one thing BTC is that it is a rank 1 coin that has the best advantage and when the market correction occurs, the negative response from social media is very high due to many despairing, various strange predictions are written there. you can read this:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_bank_digital_currency

That means this will make crypto will still exist.

but I'm sure you are not using your bitcoin functionality. because bitcoin is still not widely accepted as a means of payment.
Many benefits have been obtained by bitcoin traders and investors. but the development of bitcoin as a means of payment is still very small.
in another sense, bitcoin actually has not really entered the scope of our lives.
but what if the crypto market existed without bitcoin? can you imagine it?

Even without bitcoin, one can achieve financial freedom but it's going to be harder since most of us in here bitcoin helped us to be financially free or at least got some nice profits from it.
That's one of the many success stories that we've got and you're the same with the other bitcoin folks that have changed their lives through it. Right now, if someone has to say it and he's a bag holder of bitcoin for sure he'll say that he cannot live without bitcoin.

@OP, BTC is not the only thing that people could survive. In fact, we can still make use of fiat money until today. If BTC will die, we have no choice but to get back from the old stuff (or if you want to go together with them).
What they just worried about is money. People are now more dependent on BTC as their money-making and they'll think that they will survive if there is no Bitcoin and that was wrong.

Then, what I am thinking what will happen to those people who are relying on Bitcoin as their main source of income? I feel they get hard to find another job like this. I mean, Bitcoin gives them financial freedom, and once this stuff is gone, that gonna be hard for them.

Bitcoin is a mother of all coin, and there is even a country who even trust it as a payment system. i dont think we crypto will be good without bitcoin even though bitcoin really influenced the market price. but even there is no bitcoin there will be big coin such as eth that will influence the market as good as what bitcoin does. But with a lot stable coin and support from goverment maybe it possible

I think so, although it would take some time to recover and the community and people choose a replacement. Finding this replacement is also a challenge because today there is no one who can replace the Bitcoin brand, it's not easy. It's easier for all other projects and cryptocurrencies to disappear than the BTC itself. BTC has developed to the point where the people themselves determine their destiny, there are no controllers.

before the existence of BTC and the crypto world, we were living as usual, but for now, if BTC disappears, it will definitely have a big impact on companies or countries that have integrated with crypto

Maybe it will be very influential for people who have depended on their crypto income for their lives, but for people who are not interested in crypto it will have no effect even if bitcoin is lost, but for me personally, when bitcoin disappears, I hope there will be a coin that is able to take on the role of Bitcoin because it is very if crypto dies because of it, because the benefits of crypto in my life are very large.

indeed there is a possibility of a crypto market without bitcoin. but what happened I believe was a severe downturn of the crypto market due to the loss of bitcoin. And that's bound to happen in the long run. because we know how strong BTC adoption is in the market.
but what we expect is not like that. BTC is increasingly seen by many industries. and in the future, we all dream of BTC not only for investment assets.

Of course why not? We are already lived in this world before bitcoin was created. But, there's a lot of changes in terms of financial freedom that we got by using bitcoin. Bitcoins bring a lot of changes and opportunities for everyone who believe on it and now are using and investing this valuable digital currency. So, I think it is better now to live with bitcoin for a better lifestyle.

Everyone knows that we can survive without the Bitcoin. We can survive from everything that we were created. I noticed that only new members thought they were the same. We don't use Bitcoin only for transactions. The coinmarketcap now has more than 10K altcoins, but the only trusted and privacy coins are Bitcoin and Monero. Last thing, stable coins are totally dependent on USD and the supply infinity, but Bitcoin is different.

At the moment it is not a significant issue whether we can survive without Bitcoin. Because before the creation of Bitcoin, people used to edit their necessary transactions and conduct other activities with conventional money. But people will gradually become technologically advanced and the invention of bitcoin instead of paper currency as a medium of modern transactions has taken place. Now people are trying to identify the means of using Bitcoin in performing their economic functions. Although the use of Bitcoin as a currency is not currently accepted due to widespread volatility, it has emerged as one of the main sources of investment. So it is enough to discuss the necessity of using Bitcoin rather than discussing whether it is essential for us.

Of course, that works. But without bitcoin i would think strongly about breaking out of the system and trying to live independently.

Buy as little new as possible and repair a lot. Growing fruit and vegetables in your own garden. The focus on essentials so that you can make it self-sufficient. Also buy chickens to have your own eggs. A solar system for electricity. Minimalism is also important, for example swapping the car for a bicycle.

But I don't think that it's going to be gone or if it is then that's far from happening. It's been proven that bitcoin has helped a lot of lives to be financially free.
As long as you know how to do it properly and you're not buying your emotions as you trade and hold.

I can leave with out football, but I find it exciting and I watch it, I can live without so many things I like now and so many things that makes complex Life, simple, in fact we but only need nature to survive, amongst the basic of them are water, food and oxygen.
So even if I will still be late alive, without Bitcoin, I find it of inestimable need to me, changing times has caught up with the universe in present, and Bitcoin is what has come with it, I think it's not quarter way into it's changes of things we found difficult before it came, am excited any time I think about it.

Look at more than ten years ago, when Bitcoin had not yet appeared. People don't know that there is Bitcoin. Later Bitcoin began to develop, but there are still people who don't know Bitcoin. He hasn't become as popular as everyone knows, but he is still the same as before. In contrast, more and more people are aware of cryptocurrency. People used to think that cryptocurrencies were like "tulips." Because Bitcoin has now developed into the legal tender of some countries. So they gave up this idea. In a few years, Bitcoin may have a greater impact on us, and we must use Bitcoin in our usual transactions.

Yes of course we can live without BTC even we can live without fiat currency. We are all given the choice to do so. But if you ask me, I prefer to live with BTC.

The OP himself is not understanding what to need from bitcoin and what bitcoin brings. If you can't see the connection, don't force your negative thoughts on others.

In this space we all have to admit that it is like a vast sky and needs to learn a lot. It can be good or bad, necessary depending on your purpose and life. It would be like I couldn't force an earth guide of the tribes to accept it, necessity and knowledge would give us different answers.

fiats and btc are only currencies and they are not the primary need of humans but in order to live we need a food and we can aqcuire it in exchange for work or we can trade something .
people that are here in the forum will also chose to live with btc because they are already attached .
 btc provides them income , they use btc over fiat as a currency . its difficult to accept if btc will be gone in their lives

yes, totally agree with you on that, we all understand and realize it should be seen as a tool to help you do everything in life.
We the people on this forum have met and accepted that BTC is really important to the people here, but not to the extent of relying entirely on it.
As I said at the beginning, see it as a tool for us to improve ourselves in life.

Let's make it interesting.
How about in a parallel universe where fiat is the alternative while BTC is the primary currency around the world?
Pretty sure it sums up that it is now a need. One cannot buy food without BTC and food is obviously a needs. :)

In life, we can have no Bitcoin, because Bitcoin cannot replace legal currency for the time being, legal currency will be more stable than it and more suitable as a daily payment transaction method, but as many people mentioned in the comments, I think that in the crypto market, there cannot be no Bitcoin. It can be said that other cryptocurrencies are extended on the basis of Bitcoin. It provides a technical reference for other various cryptocurrencies, even without the emergence of Bitcoin. Similar cryptocurrencies have also appeared. This is an irreversible trend of the times and a manifestation of people's desire to have autonomous control over wealth.

i like this world better than we have now because btc will be the primary currency and there will be no need for fiats because btc can provide it all  .
btc was more than a currency but fiats ? fiats is stable and only built for payment purposes  .
if we are on that world we dont need to worry anymore if what future awaits with btc because it will surely live forever and will remain legal .

Hopefully we'll get into that part where BTC is now all legalized globally though.
I have my doubts in believing that BTC will replace fiats though.
BTC is made to be decentralized and having government to regulate it to be primarily used kinda defeats its purpose though.

Yes, I agree. Like you also, I can live without the things that I want, I can live without gadgets, I can live without my favorite sports but I watch it instead. Life is just simple, if we have food, shelter, water and oxygen then we can survive. We can live without btc but for us to live we must really need hardwork to sustain our daily needs, we must need to be wise on the decisions we made and also determined for us to get what we really wanted. Btc helps every people a lot, maybe it was hard when your into it for how many years but when you open your heart you will gonna accept everything.

True that. Many of the things we believe we need now are because they are now available to us. There was a time when some of our communities never had electricity even when it was no longer a thing in other places and today I believe most of us that are now used to having electricity for our daily activities might think we cannot do without it.
Did we think of Bitcoin in this manner before we knew what Bitcoin was? I guess not and we lived then. Even now that we know Bitcoin, we can still choose to live without it cos we have seen some posts here where people have chased out and left crypto.

It's true, everyone here does not depend on BTC, but everyone here feels happy if they always have BTC even though it's not even one unit, meaning BTC is a tool that by having it everyone can always feel their own pleasure because of it.

Actually bictoin or fiat is not the primary need that a person really need in life but it is necessary to be able to get or to purchased the primary needs to live like food. There are only certain previleges that having or owning a bitcoin could give to a person and that is the previlege to achieve a financial freedom which everyone is dreaming to achieve at a young age and also in a fast pace if and even if the person really know how to invest or trade because it is achievable but risky.

People can live even without these luxuries as long as his basic needs is met.  People had been around  thousands of years even before BTC had been created so I think the question about whether  people can live without BTC is quite idiotic.

People have been living for a long time without various technologies that have appeared recently. Life around us is developing at a high speed and what seemed unrealistic before is now available to many on the planet. And the technology of cryptocurrencies has firmly entered our lives and now many are engaged in this, especially those whom you call the government.

Your question is "Can we live without BTC? Absolutely Yes, our lives were not tied up in a sort of digital currency or assets because we people already exist before any digital asset was invented. But I believe that because we are living in the digital age and we see how Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies giving us the opportunity to develop and enhance our digital side of being, that's why Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies affect our life especially in the field of digitalized financial aspect that's why without Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies Our digital life is boring.

I think we can yeah,meaning keep using fiat,but with bitcoin is a much more happier living i would say,
second,i don't think they can ban btc,it can still be used in p2p,and people will always find a way

there are still a lot of people out there who don't live dependent on Bitcoin...

but personally, right now I can't live without Bitcoin. Bitcoin has become my investment asset. maybe I can find another job out there but not as happy as when I make money from Bitcoin.

Of course without bitcoin it doesn't matter, it must be admitted that bitcoin is pure speculation, there is no guarantee that it can last for a long period of time, the factor that makes bitcoin continue to prosper is a strong global community, as long as the community continues to actively use bitcoin, bitcoin is still alive even though there are many country banned bitcoin.

When you can meet up our needs its called a great life and which is possible by earning btc .It has changed many life who were surviving their life .Myself ,I had nothing and i was really surviving my life to change it up .At last after getting this crypto platform and earning btc now i am a happy person and i always try to earn it by trading ,gambling etc .Sp for me i can not live with it .

I can live life without a lot of things. I know because it happens to me about 1 or 2 times a year when I go camping out in the village and then there's nothing but the nature and not even much food or water except what we can find. No work, no internet, no football, no girlfriend/boyfriend:)

I wish we could say we cannot live without BTC but we all know that's not true at all. My life would have a huge hole in it though.

It's true, even without BTC everyone can still live as usual and normally, but life will be more memorable if everyone can live by having some BTC in his wallet and can invest regularly in the exchange he likes.

Yes, it's possible to live without bitcoin, especially for few moments like a weekend, vacation or holiday, but if we think about all the years of our lives without btc it will be really painful to imagine we couldn't have access to it, because bitcoin already fulfils an important part of our daily routine, that are the personal finances, indispensable to live in a capitalist world, which allows us to have access to more confort and life quality.
I believe to live without such confort and welfare couldn't even be considered to live, but just to survive and in very precarious situations, similar to a lifetime camping as you said, where food, water are scarce and another resources inexistent.

Nobody ever said you can't live without btc only desperate people like you can take things overboard,  and when things don't go as they imagine they create a thread to type shit,
Btc is like every other assets you decided and chose to have  or not to have, of course people can live without btc and it won't affect their daily life routine so don't exaggerate

Frankly, we know the opportunity better than many people, when bitcoin has brought many sources of income to serve life, I think a lot has changed a lot of lives when joining this field. Maybe many people think it doesn't deserve such values, but I still think it needs DYOR.

This question has been repeatedly posted here in the forum. However, you should not worry because you can still get more answers.

Yes,  we can live without btc or other crypto that we like that much. Crypto is not a basic need in order for us to survive compared to food, shelter, clothing, education, water that coule help us survive especially in this pandemic.

People find it hard to see the future when the present is totally defined by the past.

The crypto ecosystem can definitely live without bitcoin, it just isn't clear yet exactly what that looks like.

Bitcoin is the pioneer of cryptocurrency, all exchanges make bitcoin as a pairs trading, so the influence of bitcoin is still strong, if there is no bitcoin then cryptocurrency is difficult to be accepted by the public.

Well as I just explained yesterday, it's so easy for me to think of life without bitcoin, I just need to rewind to 4 or 5 years ago. Same thing as today, except now I do have a small side income from Bitcoin and it is slowly growing to a small savings that I would never have been able to collect in the same 20 years without it.

That's good enough for me of course I am not complaining but... let's be honest and say Bitcoin hasn't changed the lives of the majority of people in a truly useful way.

Sure you can ! Moreover, you have lived most of your life without him and did not feel even minimal discomfort :)
And then you can live absolutely without interfering with Bitcoin. For example, you want to choose Ethereum or Avalanche, or USDT, or ... Or any alternative of the nearly 10,000 existing on the market! It's like in reality - EU residents can live freely without owning fiat dollars, despite the fact that the world economy relies on the dollar

Probably the majority of people didn't have their lives changed, but at least bitcoin gave this opportunity to everyone, although only few were able to make good use of it, that was by simply holding for several years.

With the term life change I don't mean only people who became millionaire, but everyone else who somehow had their lives improved due to the help bitcoin provided them and still provides.

It's true, in fact, as you say, because there are many people whose economy is better off thanks to bitcoin,
of course it can't be separated from their hard work too because it's not easy to make a profit in cryptocurrency,
so if imagining life without bitcoin doesn't seem easy for some people who don't have permanent jobs

maybe anyone can live without btc or crypto but this is a job that is indeed shaped like a business, like we save or save money somewhere, but this tends to be in a business where sometimes the profits and losses will be listed clear in it, therefore we only set aside a little of our money to invest it in a business if we are interested in that business

Did you just say governments will use tron lol seriously?  Governments are already started to look into bitcoin and using it as a choice currency.  They are working with bitcoin.  Would love to see anything remotely related to them working with tron

I think you can have bitcoin or not,

no Bitcoin has no impact on us. We didn’t have bitcoin more than a decade ago, and now it’s possible that no one knows bitcoin or doesn’t understand bitcoin,


nbut Bitcoin has made it easier for us to trade, and decentralization has made us freer,

Sure we can because we have lived all our life without Bitcoin so how much the next same years of our life.

But We don't Need? maybe because you cannot afford the value that's why you can often say not needing but we? of course we need it.

LOl Stable coin is a BS coins and just a hiding currency for those who afraid to lose but for investors

It is speculative but proven to be profitable , And that is what you cannot see because you are a FUD spreader and not capable of buying bitcoin.

And even without crypto, we can still breathe, and therefore, we can still live.
But apart from that, we are moving to the betterness of our lives, and sounds like Bitcoin makes so well unlike fiat can provide. It is good to see how the crypto runs, Bitcoin becoming more valuable almost every year.

If ever Bitcoin has gone, we might feel the emptiness of our lives, and another adjustment will have to start.

without bitcoin we can still live, like now where even the government has not legalized it. but there are some people who depend on life looking for money from cryptocurrencies, so if without bitcoin they have to look for other sources of income in order to make ends meet.

I also feel the benefits of a bitcoin in my life, maybe if bitcoin disappears but it doesn't seem like it will happen, I will go back to work in the world of photography like I did before I know crypto, it's a shame if Bitcoin disappears, it will definitely have a big impact on my life.

It might be difficult for me to live without BTC, because for about 3 years I have known crypto, I have made a lot of profit, so I can buy what I want and fulfill my daily needs.

It's almost the same, because since I've known cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for the last 4 years, I've always benefited through trading, and also others, meaning that living with Bitcoin is more able to meet the needs of life and eliminate a little burden in life.

I don't think that someday bitcoin is going to be gone. We'll be the first one to be gone than bitcoin I guess but they say that until quantum computers are there, it will be the decoder. But AFAIK, there's already one in China and yet did nothing to the network.
You can always do the same thing, pushing your crypto trading career and photography as a business.

don't fall into the OP trap, he's unhappy with bitcoin because bitcoin has high rates, but that doesn't mean it's the end of the world. but for OP he kept his grudge and is spreading bitcoin poison all over the forum, Is very sad that he is doing that. look at the OP post history you'll understand what I'm talking about


 ???

for people to be on this forum discussing bitcoin Is precisely because bitcoin has such a big impact on our lives. look at how many things were created because of bitcoins:

1 - this forum was created thanks to bitcoin (see impact this forum brings)

2 - there are dozens exchanges that were created thanks to bitcoin

3 - there are dozens of online casinos that were created thanks to bitcoin

Yes, there was no Bitcoin more than ten years ago. Without Bitcoin, it would have no effect on all of us. But now Bitcoin has changed people's lives. Many people have realized the freedom of wealth through Bitcoin, and it is convenient for us to conduct payment transactions globally.

Perhaps, we still live and exist but that is not life, satisfaction, freedom, attachment, complexity, ... pressure, death of justice,  ... I ask myself, what is the motivation when you do well and prove your ability but don't get the response you deserve.  The damn thing still revolves around your life, your work.  I am thankful that bitcoin was born!

The basic reason why everyone is attracted to the cryptocurrency market is the hope of making money in a short period of time and it is a possibility and i would like to see a time when people actually start using them rather than hoarding the coins, even i am a culprit as i do hold but i am using them whenever i am doing purchases online.

No doubt there is a trillion dollar market world wide dealing in cryptocurrencies that employees thousands and many new businesses revolves around the cryptocurrency market.

Of course, we can live without BTC because in my opinion BTC is just an investment that can give us profit, and I think there are many people out there who living in luxury without earning an income from BTC, but if we know BTC then the pattern of our lives will change.  Even more, because it can get the income easily,,,

Bitcoin was the first crypto so it was so popular, it became the standard of crypto performance, so the price of altcoins depends on bitcoin. if TRON or Ethereum is the first then we don't need bitcoin, as long as there is crypto I'm sure bitcoin will be difficult to replace.

Live without BTC is okay for me, so many other life aspect that not related with BTC, just say if we wanna make investment, we can buy gold or diamond, not always buy BTC. It is not our primary need like food and water, so it will be fine when BTC disappear tomorrow. BTC is just one from thousand life tools, some of us can use it, and some of us not use it or even don't care about it.

But if you asking me to live without BTC at this time, ill say no for next 10 years.

Both yes and no. BTC is the big trend around the world right now. Yes, we can live without BTC, but I don't think we can live without crypto anymore. Maybe one day BTC will disappear, but new and more useful coins will always be in our lives.

Before crypto was born the world used to use fiat but as the world continually changing into the edge of digital technology the mindset of newly generations is all together with the flow of digital technology, we're all like of having at ease for every thing that we do much more on in terms of financial transaction, buying goods, services and even working for money. Crypto currency is now plays a vital role of the world's everyday living.

Bitcoin is just part of a new modern way of trading where less effort can give you some good profit. Although if Govt banned over it. No matter because there are so many other options we can choose for trading.
Live without bitcoin is possible.

if you hope that Bitcoin does not exist and the government will ban Bitcoin, then of course cryptocurrency will also disappear, have you forgotten that altcoin (cryptocurrency) exists until now, it's because of Bitcoin, so without Bitcoin you will never be able to use Blockchain, DeFi, NFT, etc., therefore I think Bitcoin will always be useful and survive, because Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrency, so if Bitcoin dies then of course altcoin (cryptocurrency) will die too.

Of course you can live, even though btc sometimes makes us confused in life the price or value changes, but for the sake of convenience in investing crypto money is necessary and very much needed also for those of us who like to invest in crypto, bitcoin if in my opinion personally can be for investment and also very need crypto money for modern transactions

life is a choice and Bitcoin is also a choice we are free to determine what we want to choose.
if you say can we live without Bitcoin of course the answer can be because basically Bitcoin is only a small part of the life we live. so that we feel safe in the future of course there must be a minimum long-term investment plan so that you are not miserable in the future.
and Bitcoin is one of the long-term investment options that I think is very profitable, in fact, there are a lot of investment materials in this world, especially in my country, which is still related to government investment and real estate but again this is an option and Bitcoin is like that too why don't I invest there by getting to know more about investing in Bitcoin because this is my choice and I think it's very profitable to invest in long term

yes of course we can live without bitcoin but many people changed their lives because of it. Bitcoin is not just for transactions, we can also earn from it because of the volatility that's why people like bitcoin. I don't want to quit doing bitcoin because it's an opportunity to make money.

We can live without anything, even water, but the matter is time and service. We were here in our world without Bitcoin. I know so many countries name those who couldn't provide PayPal service in their country. Bitcoin made our life easy and that's what Bitcoin was created. Still, now I don't find any single coin ( including stable coin) which can be trusted more than Bitcoin.

Simply put, Bitcoin cannot be legalized globally so there are still many ordinary people who do not know what Bitcoin is.  most people in the world are still comfortable transacting using their local money because they don't know about this technology, so if you ask if we can live without Bitcoin, of course you can, because Bitcoin is just a new breakthrough technology that most people still don't know how it works.

I absolutely agree, people lived without it until 2009, moreover it mostly has only one function now: people make money on it. But initially it was created as an unregulated means of exchange.

Nevertheless,it is allowed to pay using bitcoin almost nowhere. But I think it is an issue of time. To my mind, digital money is our future, so we shouldn't retreat. We already have bitcoin, so let's take all the benefits from it.

Maybe for those who are not aware of cryptocurrency but for those who know such as traders and investors, they seem to be aware that the future is towards digital currency. For those who already have knowledge of cryptocurrency, this is part of their investment. It is already a source of income for traders. This is part of the cycle of traders. In my own opinion, this is part of the savings that has the potential to grow and earn big.

Btc plays an important role in all online base marketing and e-commerce transactions. so obviously we can not live without BTC.

of course possible, to live without btc because all our daily needed don't depend on it because its use isn’t acceptable in our country as like this fiat money, it’s illegal through government. btw if now i stop to work in crypto, i have to difficult to survive financially and need to another job. my 70% earn come from in this source.

without BTC?, hmm for myself Bitcoin and the Internet is still my job as a cryptocurrency trader,
and of course I also invest in it, if life is without Bitcoin of course I don't accept it will happen,
keep supporting Bitcoin as long as possible and still believe Bitcoin will go to the moon again

the fact that it's just a currency yes, it's true, and yeah, you are quite right about it.
It already changed so many lives up until now, even me I was able to afford meals that I really can't from the past lol.
Seriously, if crypto and Bitcoin wasn't there I won't on my place right now.

Even the government are not in favor to Bitcoin. It is impossible for them to stop it now since Bitcoin is part of people's crypto life. And another strong basis is the El Salvador who adopted Bitcoin. We can live without Bitcoin but altcoins cannot. Because Bitcoin is the founder of cryptocurrencies ecosystem.

I believe without altcoins bitcoin is dead and the price will never be $100, the thing that makes bitcoin popular is that it is used to trade with altcoins pairs, if bitcoin is alone it will not interest anyone because there is no comparison.

Yes, because people who are ordinary and don't know anything about Bitcoin can also survive until death picks them up, but if you want to become a millionaire, then the choice is Bitcoin, because the more we have Bitcoin, the richer we will be in the eyes of society.

Now, is it possible but after some days we will depend on full technology then we can not afford our life without BTC cause Day by day we are going to virtual life?

The only challenge bitcoin is having is its scalability problem, and this can be seen in terms of high transactions fees and longer transaction confirmation time. But this can be solved using the bitcoin lightning network apart from the two shortfalls in the Bitcoin network, stable coins have nothing to compete with bitcoin.

Of course we can live without using BTC because for now the government in each country has its own currency, and also using BTC is not the dependence of every individual or society but they use BTC to facilitate the transaction of digital money and they can also get a big profit then that's the reason many who use BTC for now ,for those who already understand about the crypto world then it is very difficult to leave just like that.

Bitcoin will never be in line with the government, but bitcoin itself can live without its help, isn't it the beginning of the emergence of bitcoin everyone is against it, but now people are competing to invest here.

Bitcoin has been able to give birth to new billionaires in recent years, how many rich people have been from the results of investing in bitcoin, I think it's good for the government to let bitcoin grow and all the government needs to do is supervise.

We only see one side of bitcoin, so we forget about the overall benefits of bitcoin, I don't think it's a big problem if bitcoin continues to grow and run by itself, Bitcoin is a solution for young people, especially in developing themselves, learning to invest to ensure their needs.

Social value also arises when people have their own income, meaning they are able to help anyone who needs help, so how can we say that bitcoin is bad, what is a more logical reason for bitcoin.

before i got to know bitcoin i was living safely "lol".  but i still think that it's an honor and good fortune for me to know Bitcoin.  Bitcoin makes me excited and love to invest.  if Bitcoin doesn't exist then i'm not sure there is will any really good investment assets will emerge.

Of course sir, what do you mean live? If it was live in a real live of course we can, but talking about in crypto, may be it could, bitcoin may be the biggest asset crypto, with highest prize, btc is the first crypto
But Now it's just one of crypto, no more, so It would be fine if btc gone

There will be the other type of investments that we can invest our money that are also good. But as long as bitcoin has existed, we're sure now that there's a better investment that we have been introduced.
As it's the reason why we're staying on bitcoin because we've been holding it and right now, we cannot say if we can live without bitcoin. It's hard if there's no bitcoin.

for now yes, but I'm not sure in the future, when bitcoin has become like the internet. maybe humans will make bitcoin one of the most important. we will need bitcoin and use it as a means of payment. so in the future we don't really need FIAT because there will be bitcoin as an alternative. it's only a matter of time until it becomes real. bitcoin will take over our lives, and eventually we will need btc the most.

What is clear is that bitcoin is not needed in our everyday real world, but we need bitcoin and its forums for us to interact in the digital world, the development of information technology and crypto money exchange and long-term investment and the government, there is no reason to let the reasons live btc but many of the officials are investing in bitcoin lately

Of course we will live without bitcoin, but we will miss one of the money making opportunities to improve our lives more actively.  I think in the future bitcoin will become more and more popular, then we will see that bitcoin will be really needed.

Of Course anyone can live without BTC, but the question is would you continue to ignore the capabilities this state of the technology has?

Of course BTC is the most representative of the entire crypto market, to me BTC is something for the future and we will never know what they will do with it. I am at peace because I am living, working and accompanying this field, without it, I am not sure, I could have the life like now.

Btcoin does not have any special or important importance for us because bitcoin is very bad for the transaction, its fee is very high, so its existence is not so important, but if we save some part of it for the future, it will be beneficial for us.

Yes, we can definitely live without BTC but it can really make your life easier. If you have BTC and the value increases more and you can gain profit from it then it realy make you live on easier way. It was not our basic necessity like foods, water, house etc. so we can live without it. It we are planning to have a better future, investing in BTC is a really good choice.

Yes, we can live without BTC. before BTC there were ancient people who could also live without it. Even today there are still many people who don't know about BTC and they can live without it. Plus, currently there are still some countries that prohibit the use of BTC for transactions and the residents there also look fine, they don't depend on BTC. for me personally BTC is not the main or primary part because I only use it to invest for savings in the future not to use it to meet the basic needs of life, so if the BTC is not there I will not be too affected because I can invest in other things.

Considering at this point in time, I'm not sure I can live without bitcoins, watching, reading updates, seeing prices every day even while working.  When bitcoin moves up, my emotions are like a child's, it's like my spiritual food every day, I change my way of living and working when I know the world of bitcoin and crypto, bitcoin really taught me  patience, determination, direction... it's like a part of my life right now.  Humans are high-level animals with compatibility with circumstances and living conditions.  In essence it has always been and will not change.  But in reality, without bitcoin and crypto, my life would be extremely boring.  Lol

With that factors where there are many people who already acknowledge the existence of this industry and already valuing the worth of this system,  probably they are gaining decent compensation and they are living now alongside with this asset.

But literally, you can still live without bitcoin as there are many people who still don't have any idea about this system, but not the reason not to accept also the fact that bitcon already changed life,

Those who adopt it first already gained financial freedom, most earned a lot to live a good financially stable now.

Definitely yes in my 33 years of existence in this world i live without knowing bitcoin. It was just a new experience in life when i knew about bitcoin, because of bitcoin i learn to earn profits through the internet. And i think that bitcoin will never get ban by other governments because most of them gets benifit from cryptocurrencies.

In general, I think we can, if we remove the speculative nature of the crypto market.
All the same, bitcoin is too expensive and too slow, it is difficult to imagine its usability, but it is the main bridge of the market in terms of investments.

Have any see some strange things happening in the market recently?
Ethereum volume is now competing with bitcoin and I think ones the proof of stake goes live, there is likelihood that it will pass bitcoin in volume.
While institutions prefer bitcoin over other altcoins in the market, the smart retailers and whales are accumulating Ethereum, the moment Institutional investors step in, it will be so bullish.

You need to know that BTC is not a basic need for us but BTC is for investment in seeking profit. if we want to make a transaction can change BTC in the form of altcoins that have low fees such as BSC, TRX and other stable coins.

that's not the main thing. but I believe this market really needs BTC.
just look, you can see how the dominance of BTC in the market. and this will be bad if BTC is not in the market. or even when BTC is simply eliminated, it will be very bad. although some assets are currently doing very well in the crypto market. but BTC will never be replaced.

Of course, we can live without bitcoin or cryptocurrency because we are already born without it and we have become aware of the use of fiat currency. But now that we are facing the covid pandemic and I am one of those people who lost a job, I can also say that I can't live now without cryptocurrency because currently I'm earning just through crypto.

will be okay? I don't think so because you forgot that bitcoin is the benchmark of altcoins even though not all coins are connected to bitcoin but that doesn't reduce the essence of bitcoin as a coin that is the benchmark of other coins.
and if bitcoin disappears it will certainly be a shock for altcoins because in essence if the core is lost then those who follow it will also become extinct and this is not a good thing.
and I always remember the words of Barry Silbert, CEO and founder of Digital Currency Group and Grayscale Investments who said that "besides bitcoin, I don't believe in most digital tokens and believe most of their prices will go to zero".
and from this alone it is clear if we look roughly at Barry Silbert saying apart from Bitcoin, the majority of cryptocurrencies will go down and eventually become worthless.

It's unfortunate that you lost your job, but it all depends on the people, because people like you rely on it to buy food. Those who only make money through crypto currency could still leave; this isn't to say that if you don't have bitcoin, you'll die; this was just a metaphor; it's not like breathing air, which would kill you in less than a minute. You can live without a bitcoin, but having one makes life easier because you earn more money and can do it as a side hustle.

We could, even before 2007 we could live really a good life with just fiat but it could make some of us losing income source as we are doing right now.

Define "stable coins". If we are talking about coins then there is no such thing as stable coins, each coin has its volatile and if coins are stable and how in the world we can gain profit from trading then.

Some of the countries banned Bitcoin, but the rest not and they are using cryptocurrency especially for the bank security(Blockchain)

Yes we can live without Bitcoin. But i think new generation who growing up with bitcoin.,they won't live without bitcoin. Because people changing their life/occupation for cryptocurrency. Personally i can't live because i take it my profession.

yes, sometimes BTC is also a benchmark for other altcoin price increases. although this is not a complete guarantee but the fact is like that. when the price of BTC goes up then some other altcoins start following the BTC price movement and vice versa. but the point is that the increase in the price of the coin/crypto market cannot be predicted accurately. as investors we can only follow market trends and don't forget to re-examine them.

The question shouldn't be can we live without btc it should be can you live without BTC because without crypto you won't be on this forum writing trash mate People have found ways to make money and crypto is becoming more valuable day by day so basically I will say at this point we can't live without btc...cola cola Amazon etc are all pushing various corners into crypto...even villages have Coke...so yeah crypto is getting wild day by day

If I am getting you correctly, you insinuated the Governments of the world would be utilizing stable coins on Tron Blockchain. Okay. Lemme assume governments would shut bitcoin down, why would they use Tron based Stable coins and leave such on Binance Smart Chain or Ethereum

When we ask people who don't know bitcoin of course they will say no problem,
but on the other hand when we ask people who are looking for income from cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoin, I think they will find it difficult to accept it

if bitcoin falls then it would be causing a market crash, but I think that would last for just small amount of time and then the market would bounce again and will most probably make ethereum the king of cryptocurrencies. The people who make their living from bitcoin will definitely find other alternative cryptocurrencies for earning their income, most people on the forum here also earn from the altcoin board rather than other boards, just my two Satoshi.

although there are many assets in the market that are convincing bitcoin is the most influential crypto asset. the absence of bitcoin in the market can make market opportunities very uncontrollable. maybe we will replace it with other assets such as ETH or other stable assets. but the adjustment will take a long time to get stability. I hope that won't happen.

When you take a look at the issue of bitcoin and when the world started embracing it. We will all agree that it is not something that we can not do without. We all have been living our lives very well and people are doing so good even without these digital currencies. Total eradication of bitcoin won't cause much damage. But it will only affects those that have acquired it and those that put are life savings on it. But to answer your question in one word. WE CAN DO WITHOUT BITCOIN.

The question can we live without btc ?
For me the answer is yes!
The son do live without his father.
It will be a bit defficut reason being that it's the father to all coin. But they will definitely solver for those that have gain ground.

A gem will not be able to make your stomach full. Gems can't make your brain smart either. But with gems you can exchange them into money because all humans agree that gems are the most known stones to have a high exchange value. Everyone believes that
Likewise Bitcoin, everyone believes Bitcoin is jewelry in digital form. And you will only get it at a price that is not cheap.

It will never go away.

There are a lot of FUDs that have been said before that btc is going to be away and it's the one that will replace bitcoin. But many of those didn't found no success at all.

BTC will stay no matter what happens and we cannot live without it.

Bitcoin will continue to be a commodity and as a tool for investment, although currently Bitcoin has not been officially approved by the government but with a large community of course the state of this coin will still exist, Bitcoin has not become an official medium of exchange especially now that several countries have also developed their banking systems. With the blockchain system, Bitcoin will continue to exist to be used as an investment tool.

I can not tell about other people but now bitcoin is one of the most important part of my daily life. Not only bitcoin but many of the crypto currencies.
I use in my day to day activities like in transactions and in shopping also It is one way of earning for me so it would be very hard for me to survice without bitcoin.

really? I believe we can live without bitcoin, before bitcoin appeared, we also live without bitcoin. wouldn't it be an exaggeration to say it would be hard to live without bitcoin. I think bitcoin is an asset, and it's just like cars, houses, land, gold and more. and also bitcoin can be traded like the stock market. people can live without having it all if we can sort out what we use to live.

It's definitely true that we can live without bitcoin because not only bitcoin the produced money. But the truly fact is, when we have a bitcoin that is the biggest chance to be a millionaire someday.

Of course we can do without it, we had been living without it. There are people who haven't still heard about Bitcoin they are living fine and happily. But it has improved our economy as people who deal with it on a daily basis. It has empowered people, such people can say they can't do without it.

I am one of the people I cannot do without, but I can live without Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is not the air that I breathe, but it is the currency of the era and its investment is better than all the investments that exist today, so this investment has a great importance in earning a living and getting rid of it is difficult because there are people who do not have jobs or any source of income, Bitcoin has become their source of livelihood.

Yes! We lived many of years without btc but it is modern world and new currency is introduced it called Crypto and btc is most valuable coin in this currency and there are many chances in future that all business deals are paid through btc because it is digital currency. Tesla company also started payment through crypto currency. It is part of success of btc. We can live without btc but in future it will hard to survive without btc.

yes, even according to observers, the widespread use of bitcoin will make the fight against climate change end in vain, Unlike the dollar, pound sterling or other currencies held by central banks, bitcoin is 'dug' by computers in large data centers that consume energy .
According to the Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index published by Digiconomist, that much energy is sufficient for the energy consumption of 3 million US households.

BTC is still one of payment option right now, also people are buying it just for investment and trading purpose, not for doing transaction. So it's reliable if there are no BTC, we still can live like normal. But if in 20-30 years everything in this world turn into blockchain and BTC is the universal currency for doing transaction, there will be a different story.

Bitcoin is king and without bitcoin there is no idea for crypto. Many view BTC as a representation of the crypto market as a whole. When it rises, investors are more likely to buy other crypto tokens/coins because "the market is doing well." The opposite is also true... if BTC starts to fall, investors in other cryptos are more likely to pull their money because "the market is falling overall."

Yes, we can live without btc.
BTC is not daily essentials like food, but it makes a better world. To break the old traditions and establish a well-organized decentralized financial system.

Actually Bitcoin has become an integral part of our present economy. It seems like a joke? I also considered Bitcoin and other crypto to be like dummies, but my economics teacher said that Bitcoin is the reserve currency in China today. It provides offshore yuan. Chinese government started using it as a reserve one year ago and since then, Bitcoin has been growing.

I think that the time period has already passed in which it was possible to refuse from him and to live on, now it is impossible both for economic goals and for political ones. I think that we will never know what would have happened if the world had not accepted bitcoin.

Yes, obviously we can live but bitcoin has made a history in crypto world and its getting famous day by day that’s why everyone is trying to put their investment in bitcoin. most of the governments has band bitcoin in their countries but they are unable to stop bitcoin trading in their countries .

Have you ever read the Bitcoin Whitepaper, here you can see some translations of the Bitcoin Whitepaper

You can use Bitcoins for investment and payments, if you don't have Bitcoins, that's fine, because all the choices are yours and as I know, if bitcoins aren't created, then you can't see stable coins and altcoins.

of course we can live without btc.why?because btc is currently too expensive and also not many projects that are in btc as owned by etherum, binance, and tron that have their own smart contracts so many altcoins are sheltered with them.currently many new projects in crypto for example nft, we can buy or sell artwork using bnb or eth and also projects that come under it.similarly with the new hype that is with games in crypto that make the price of altcoin games increase significantly all of it is under bnb and eth coin.I think we can very much live without btc.but in the world is still berpatokan with the price of btc, they should be able to stand alone without having to be affected by the price of btc.

Life without BitcoinBTC will be easier and more possible. Not all people hold Bitcoin. Some never touched ??? or traded any cryptos yet, and still, they are alive and doing better. Crypto hasn't been part of life's essential things yet, and many countries are keen to ban it.

Yes, buddy! We can live without BTC because it's just a coin and not a heart.

But I think BTC is not that bad to those people who will take some time to learn it, understand it, and invest in it. I am saying this because I had a very tough life back in 3 years before I started investing in Bitcoin, but since 2019 things started to change after I learned the basics of Bitcoin and decide to invest in it. That is why I believe BTC is a good source of income if you will decide to learn it then start investing.

Of course you can, because before there was BTC we could also live like people who currently don't know Bitcoin. But keep in mind, Bitcoin is the mother of all current Cryptocurrencies. Although the Coin price is stable not affected by Bitcoin price fluctuations, but I think many people are more interested in holding BTC, Ethereum, BNB and others. 
Because our goal here is to make a profit, And BTC provides a very high potential for that.

I'm can live without BTC and that is a choice.
I don't have Bitcoin but I have several altcoins, this happened because the price of Bitcoin was expensive and I chose another alternative investment, namely altcoins.

Bitcoin is good for large scale transactions, we have seen Tesla accept BTC even though they decided not to accept BTC for other reasons, even though it happened, Bitcoin still has a great price and until now it is still accepted by everyone

I think I mean, is there life if there is no bitcoin. But this is a big question, because if bitcoin does not become, and this cannot happen quickly, most cryptocurrencies will also disappear.
What are we going to do then? After all, most of the market is Bitcoin, it's money.
