I never expect that they would still push this through. Bitcoin is really becoming unusable today because of the increasing number of transactions that slows the network. I just hope that they just don't make these coins for profit but for the reason that many people are burdened by the slow transaction confirmation and high fees in the bitcoin network.

I believe that they're popular mainly because well it was the first of all cryptocurrencies to be made. Honestly most of the other coins are scams and greedy ways that the developers make money. The only other coin I can think of that isn't a scam are dogecoins! What do you think?
Bitcoin is considered to be the most popular because it led the whole crypto world to expand. It is the first crypto and the fastest growing currency in the history. Many people support it and it is still growing. It's core purpose at first is to make a currency for the internet but the hype exploded later on when the price starts to grow.

Have you guys ever think to how long is bitcoin will survive in this world ? Well, I mean is there anything that can make bitcoin bankrupt or low price, then possibly will make bitcoiners doesn't want to invest anymore. And also is there any solution to avoid those thing. Just wonder to know.
As long as the demand is high and with a growing support from the people, it won't die. Bitcoin will just continue to grow. The whole crypto world is growing and expanding and bitcoin leads the growth, if the many people would step back from bitcoin, the price would go down and another larger set of investors will step in because of the low price. It is happens every time bitcoin's price would go down, after some days it will recover and increase greater and the pump and dump continues.

Yes I said it. John McAfee (the anti virus software Billionaire) bets that Bitcoin will hit $1,000,000.00 (One Million) USD by year 2020. OR he will eat his own dick on TV! https://diegorod.github.io/WillMcAfeeEatHisOwnDick/Comments should be fun on this one! He can be true but it's very far from the price today. I think it could happen some years after 2020. He should start eating his dick right now if bitcoin fail to reach that point.

Anyone bought drugs with bitcoin and what are you thought on the subject ?
i know i have used bitcoin to buy psilocybe cubensis thank you bitcoin i cold have not done this without you now i can trip watching corry & eastenders in the evening its such a sight.
In the early years of bitcoin and even until today, bitcoin and other cryptos are used in the blackmarket, in the deep web where there are a lot of people who sell drugs, guns and other illegal things. But asking this in question in the forum makes no sense, no one will support you, it is a complete misuse of the currency and why would you even buy those things, just learn how to grow your money.

Hello everyone, I have been witnessing an ungodly amount of bold predictions as far as bitcoins 2018 price these past few days. I have heard people say anything from "the bubble is going to pop in 2018" - "we are going to see a 1 Million dollar bitcoin." So people are all over the board here and in my video I weighed in on the subject as well as I discussed the "Bitcoin 2018 bubble talk" so please let me know what you are all thinking about my prediction and what do you predict we will see for bitcoin this coming year? Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLsNXWxUEB4As always, thank you! For many years, many people said that the price would fall down, the bubble will pop, and bitcoin will be forgotten but it did not happen. Now bitcoin surpassed many milestones, it is the most expensive and the fastest growing crypto currency, it broke many expectations. And still many people believe that it will fall down. I think bitcoin would continue to grow but in a faster rate. I expect it to reach 100k usd.

now you will see lot of comments about investing on Bitcoin, ethereum, monero, litecoin. But i will tell you my own opinion. All alts are rising, but as for me, you can invest this money to Dogecoin. Chinese like their traditions and year of doge is coming. So as for me, I would buy dogecoins for these 5k$. Already bought 100k for 250$ 3 weeks ago and now have 550$ Dogecoin does not have the capacity to increase so much because of its unlimited supply. And these coins, ethereum, bitcoin, monero and litecoin, has a great community and team of developers. Dogecoin's developer already retired and there are no latest improvement done on the coin. The increase is just a result of the growth of the crypto world that affects every coins especially those bitcoin dependet coins which also shown some growth in the past few weeks.

Hello ppl, what do you think, we will pass the threshold of 30,000?
We cannot say it exactly but there is a possibility. We have seen bitcoin increase 1k+ in a day in the past few weeks and the rate is still growing. If it failed to reach 30 000 USD by the end of 2017, maybe in January of 2018 it would. The market is growing very fast and this is good for all of us who holds some bitcoins.

I just woke up this morning and saw the recent price of bitcoin and its really alarming high! so i wanted to know, could there ever be a crypto that surpasses the mighty Bitcoin??
We cannot know. But in my opinion it is a NO, bitcoin would always lead. Almost every people who are new in the crypto world first knew bitcoin before other coins, that thing explains how bitcoin is much bigger than other coins and comparing the price of bitcoin to the alts, it is completely far.

If btc was more popular than usd then we would be sitting far higher than 450 dollars right now. So to answer your question, no. Not by far unfortunately.
But it is better today. Comparing the price of the two and the benefit that it gives to people, I can say that bitcoin is better and more popular to people, many people around the world uses bitcoin and those number of people is still increasing. The price is very far from the time that this thread was created and looking back, it seems so long but it just took less than two years for bitcoin to grow this big.

Bitcoin has pass through many stage, limitations, attack and forks issue but its price keep on increasing from inception till now. At this time Last year bitcoin price was $450 but today it is $1245 that was over 180% increment in just a year. This is what we call blessing, that is making progress in the face of strong opposition!!
Yeah! Bitcoin became a great blessing for all of us who have known bitcoin in its early years. The growth continues as I write this text and I hope that it would still continue to grow and benefit the person who supports bitcoin. The price increase this year is huge and completely unbelievable, the predictions I made in the past months were half of the price today.

That sucks. It's not Bitcoin we enjoy to use because of low transaction fees. It does not work the way it used to be. And for me, $25 for every transaction you've made is totaly hurting me. People want a cheaper fees are now bound to wait for days in able to get their Bitcoin. That's very inconvenient. All you can do is to use only one-time bitcoin transfer and don't transfer to often unless it's important. Also im a bit worried about putting my fees into low amount of fee because there's a possibility that it might get stucked at the process. That's messed up if that happens.
This is the problem nowadays, the slow transaction confirmation is forcing people to set higher fees in order for a miner to accept right away the transaction on the network. The average price is getting higher and higher as the number of transactions are also increasing (higher demand). I hope something would change, many people are affected. The purpose of bitcoin to be an efficient coin for sending and receiving coins is slowly fading away. A high transaction fee really hurts.

Although we're already half way to achieve that mark ($12.5k) , it's still a long way to go, and there might be events which might occur that will affect the rise and fall of BTC price. Imagine, in just a couple of months, it already reach $10k were people most predicted it will happen before the end of December or 1st qtr. 2018. Nowadays, its really hard to predict because of its movement which is kinda gradual. As Bitcoin continue to increase its popularity and expanded its purpose, to which more people will be influenced and accept this digital currency, it might reduce the time frame needed to reach the $25k mark.
I agree with you, the popularity, the increasing reputation and usage of bitcoin is proportional to its growth, the price moves faster and faster every month. Bitcoin's price can go up or down $1k usd in a short time unlike the gradual movement or close to stagnant price in the early years of bitcoin. The price is experiencing these instabilities also because of the rapid increase of bitcoin users, more people pump and dump their bitcoins.

Hello im using bitconnect for 6 monts now and everyone is trying to scare with scam this and scam that. Some dumbass journalist said that uk was going to ban Bitconnect and showd a old company house registration. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10948031 Here is a link for there new one to proof everyone wrong. And call it a scam, so far i made 10.000 and received my money back plus extra. In crypto nothing is guaranteed right? Everyone was also laughing about bitcoin, i the beginning as well same scam shit. But in the end it turned out the other way, and i will continue on bit connect. If they can reveal the whole process on where the money goes, I would believe that they are legitimate. I know people who also say that they earned much from bitconnect but I cannot guarantee that it would not fail, their promises are unrealistic, if you do all the math you will realize.

There is no way to get it back. It's a big amount, I hope it serves as a lesson for you and for those who can read this post. Be careful as always when using your wallet. I use myetherwallet for a long time, I have encountered people who had the same issue as you and I also can't do anything about it.

I don't know what happening now. I have some transaction pending for 2 o 3 days until now and nothing. A friend of mine told me that some kind of new virtual cat that use the ETHERIUM blockchain is the problem.
From what I've red from some posts in this forum. There is a game called cryptokitties and this is their site cryptokitties.co/There are many users of this ethereum based platform, it uses metamask as the main wallet for ether and the transactions. The game is about breeding and selling cats for a defined price. And because of the large volume of transaction in the network, the result is an increased number of unconfirmed transactions which is getting worse day by day as the number of users of cryptokitties increase.

what are the benefits you get in bitcoin? And how those it affect your daily living?
Bitcoin can affect many things especially when you become obsessed with bitcoin and cryptos, you will spend more time in cryptos, it is you who will decide if it will become a positive or a negative effect. In the other side, bitcoin can affect how you make big transactions especially for long distances, the use of bitcoin and cryptos, simplifies the work for everyone.

Given the year that 2017 has been, what are your predictions for 2018 for cryptos? will Bitcoin continue to rise? I think governments will be involved more in cryptos in 2018, more regulation maybe?
From my point of view, yes the government might get in the way. The increased volatility of cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin is becoming a threat to people and the whole country that has a large volume of bitcoins. The bitcoin is turning away from being a currency, it is very inefficient today to always transact with bitcoin because of the higher fees compared in the past.

I am using hitbtc as my trading site and it has also a feature for exchange and withdrawals. It is not decentralized but this is one of gbe reasons why it is good to use. Advantages arise from this matter which is very useful for traders. https://hitbtc.comI also use hitbtc, it is fast and it has nice features. You can also start trading on big alts on this exchange. It also does not require Identity Verification so you can withdraw and deposit by just making an account with your e-mail. I have a nice experience with using hitbtc and never encountered a problem so far.
