I will agree if tou say outdated, and there are many flaws in bitcoin, but that  is acceptable for me, and the market is still dominated by bitcoin and the fame of bitcoin still very big, if you are talking about using the fork coin then I completely disagree with you, for me those "upgraded" coin like bch, btg, bcd is a joke for me, the coin is not better than bitcoin

Outdated ? Lol.  looks like you'r new in crypto world bro.

Bitcoin seems outdated because you are American. I don't even have to ask. You want instant gratification and do not care able everything that is involved with making consensus happen on a universally immutable ledger that benefits everyone. You want your coffee, with your low fees. You probably love alts too. Get outta here with your impatience, and find balance in your life. The world still doesn't even know about BTC yet...

Why do you think that it is slow at the moment? There is only one answer to reply to your thread. Bitcoin is now slower than before because it is being under attack from the bcash network, there is nothing more to say.

When it went up to $2800 and bitcoin dropped to $5200, the network fees were about $24 for each transaction, everybody was complaining in here because of that.

And now you are complaining because you need to pay $5 for a single transaction?

Yes, if you want lower fees then better to move out to bitcoin classic, fees are lower than $0,15 and they can get confirmed in just seconds

Bitcoin is still the king.

High fees in terms of USD value because price is increasing. Remember that BTC0.005 satoshis today have different value to BTC0.005 in the past. When it comes to fees, Im looking at bitcoin value and not on bitcoin USD value so still Im fine with the current fees but honestly we need a changed. Forks are meant to development but no doubt bitcoin still has strong fundamental to support the stand to the crypto world. ETH or any other alts are being created to changed how we are used to be on bitcoin but still even how good their coins are, bitcoin still prevail.

High price always associated with high fees so whether we like it or not we just have to deal with. Much way better rather than going back to BTC0.0001 fees with $500 value of BTC1.

When you think of these issues and look at Bitcoi's market cap, do you think it is overvalued? It is not, because it is the network with the highest hashing capacity backing it and it has the most number of users.

There is a very simple explanation for this.

Hardly anyone uses any alt. Most alts are controlled by a small group of people or one person.

With those two factors they can change what they like any time pretty much as no one's going to oppose it and their blockchains are guaranteed to be empty.

Bitcoin is maxed out 24/7 and there are multiple factions fighting to control it. Bitcoin's job is to resist that control and only advance if enough people mutually agree. Being hard to change is a virtue though it may not look like that from the outside.

Development is absolutely not dead. There are thousands of people working away on different things.

Outdated, maybe, but the market is making a very strong statement that bitcoin is still highly desirable.  As a currency?  Not really.  I've been saying that for quite a while.  The fees and confirmation times are ridiculous--I'd much rather spend doge or anything else.  As a speculative instrument it's pretty damn good, and it's got more of a community than any other coin.  But I wouldn't say it's past its prime by any means, and the market at present would agree with me.

I don't think this is FUD at all, just an opinion that may differ from the hardcore bitcoiners here.

You are saying that you use bitcoin to send regular payments, but then why dont you try to use another altcoin in order to make those micro payments?

You can send money with ethereum, it is the 2nd biggest altcoin that has been created, and you are always going to be paying $0,25 worth of eth for all the transactions that you make, doesnt matter how big they are, or how much are they worth.
I have been using eth for a long time to send those kind of payments who are less than $100, and i have never had any problems with this coin, and it has increased a lot during this year too.

Do you really think that bitcoin is a dead project? Waves is a dead project, i dont even know why are you mentioning them, because their devs are retarded as hell, they are always saying pure speculations but the price has not been increasing for more than three months.

Then get the fuck off, we dont need people like you trying to spread fud over bitcoin, why dont you just buy bitcoin cash? maybe it can fix all your problems.
