Happy to judge a site from a general user perspective.

I agree that LTC offers little innovation however they are an established brand deeply entrenched in the history of crypto and will destroy its alltime high when the bull regains traction.
There is a reason why so many traders prefer LTC. The volume is still incredible on virtually every exchange and the least risk of any altcoin.
LTC will go past $100 next bubble easily despite the advent of asics.
Death of LTC not gonna happen.
This (and $100 could be very conservative, depending on how far Bitcoin will go).

It's more reasonable to expect a policy of going in and out of deflation picking the winners (TBTF banks) than outright hyperinflation. The latter destroys everything.
|
|
|
the key question is whether Bitcoin can withstand the deflation.
personally, my bet is that it can.
Love to hear your arguments.

Dollar up, everything else down - - > deflation
It looks as if the next phase has started. Awaiting central banker panic somewhere next year.

Freedom from government-managed money is what makes Bitcoin important.
I am afraid the average guy does not care.

Very well said, and I am fully agree with you, what you wrote all. People think here that when new big merchant accept the Bitcoin as payment, price will going to moon because merchant is very big and new people start using bitcoin [...]
To add to this: Bitcoin in terms of payments in the first world is mostly about cutting fees. This will (not could, will) be a major reason for the large payment processors to step into this arena. Problem: you can't compete with (near) zero, as Amazon is slowly learning in their line of business. Margin compression all over, and I think this will happen with payment processing as well. However, this is not the most interesting part of Bitcoin. The real innovation (from my perspective) is Bitcoin's programmability. Programmable money that - in a far future - can even be used by autonomous machines without central interference. That's a far more promising feature than shoving some 'value' from A to C against the lowest fee possible.

Apple pay is a further step in getting people ready for mobile payments. It takes a long time to change people's behavior. The same applies to payment behaviour. Whether Apple Pay becomes a success remains to be seen but it prepares the mind of people. Once they are hooked, they will certainly be charmed by lower payment fees of the Bitcoin network.
But alas, this whole thing needs more time than our enlightened brains need to see it. It could take a generation....
That's why my view on Bitcoin, any view, only starts of 2018. HODL...

The cheapest Android phone can sufficiently operate a Bitcoin wallet, as long as it has a camera. Apple Pay will be on the newest devices only and which third world bum has a credit card (compared to each first world bum ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) ).

I am really looking forward to the days when various ease of use apps become more common in the bitcoin space - whether it is for buying, selling, trading, purchasing, storage of value, transferring, etc.
^^^ this. i feel we are getting there though. Everything that is happening over the next 12 months looks pretty bullish to me It's certainly moving into the right direction. My thoughts are that Apple Pay prepares the masses for online digital payments. A crucial step to reach the Internet of Money state..... What I'm wondering about: what is taking Google so long to properly get into this arena? Android and Bitcoin are made for each other.

Exclusive: G20 finalizing flexible 'bail in' bond deal for big banks
you mad?
not yet?
ok.
Only when the bail in materializes. Now get me some Game of Thrones....

It's slowly heating up (like Doge)....

Very good. A logical conclusion for deflating a bubble. Meanwhile, Bitcoin development is steadily progressing.
|

Nobody talking Bitcoin means we are moving steadily towards capitulation. Maybe MasterLuc's prophecy is not a bad call. Be patient if you believe in this technology. Scream if you are just a speculator. Troll if you are a troll.
For me, it cannot become silent enough for Bitcoin. Eventually, the tide will change.

Bull markets are born in pessimism, grow in skepticism, mature in optimism, and die in euphoria.
There is no pessimism yet, so I do not expect any fireworks soon.
|
|
|
The rally won't come before 80% has become bored and no longer thinks about Bitcoin's price. That's when we hit bottom.
