Why would become antiques? Just the opposite, when Bitcoin reaches this limited number I expect for demand to get even higher and the price will rise significantly. Reaching the 21 million will not stop the use of Bitcoin but it will be much harder to get to the coins. At this moment it's hard to predict exact scenario but I expect the explosion of price.

Right,maybe they were not aware that bitcoins value is unpredictable it can soar anytime.Those capitalist take risk and still invest in its highest value,its what they want to take chances and stay positive that it will continue to rise and would might surpass to $20k or even more.

I think these is true. But not the well know cryptocurrencies in the top twenty. I think the most other coins. There are so many shitcoins and tokens arround, who are traded for money, but they are absolutly no value behind. The most of these coins even dont have a project behind. Just a one men dev team who has created these token project to make some money with it. So watch where you put your money int. Because you can loose it very fast.

I understand for the past years, Bitcoin has been the king of cryptos, but why is that so? I have been for several months now reading a lot about the whole crypto ecosystem, i even bought several bitcoins back in August (sold them all today, for 4x returns and am keeping all the money in the broker account, and maybe i'll buy BTC again just as soon as i manage to retrieve my belief in BTCs future viability -i am trying really hard).

Enough background, now on to the topic at hand. I am now all too familiar with the challenges BTC has in front of it, and i sincerely can't see a solution.

1. Slow transactions - If you pay a high enough fee (at the moment over $15), you'll get a 10 minutes confirmation for your transaction. So at the very least it takes 10 minutes for a transaction to pass through, which really isn't so much assuming one is willing to pay the high fee. If one doesn't want to pay over $1 (i mean why should we, since the original idea of cryptos was that they should be cheap, fast and anonymous!), then one will wait indefinitely, probably for days or even damn weeks!!!

2. High fees - Now over $15 for high priority on the blockchain. Imagine if the price were to multiply by 5x. The fees!! $100+ per transaction maybe? This is insane. Satoshi Nakamoto has/have probably unfortunately died (i mean he/they WOULD by now have come forward and said enough is enough, miner cartels are ruining the BTC system and these high fees are outrageous insanity) turning in his grave with the hell that is happening to the BTC's ecosystem.

3. Lack of solutions - The major solution everyone is currently clinging to is the Lightning Network. Really?? It is still theoretical. Will it ever be effectively implemented and integrated into BTC and its blockchain? We don't know. Will it be practical, and effectively reduce costs substantially? We don't know! When will it be ready? Sometime in 2018? With a measly small team of developers? 2018 maybe! If it ever becomes pratical. Right now it seems the WHOLE BTC ecosystem hopes that the LN will work and solve ALL of BTCs complex problems. This is a very big and risky assumption. If it doesn't, i sincerely don't see how the BTC is going to navigate ever higher demand and users. It will bottleneck even more and the result will not be pretty. Besides, the whole concept of creating off-chain direct channels between users doesn't seem very practical to me, but perhaps i am wrong.

4. Miner cartels? Have major miner groups taken over the BTC? I haven't studied it deeply enough to make this conclusion, but this is the feeling i am fetting, maybe i am very wrong. Why isn't a solution to this DAMN OBVIOUS BOTTLENECK PROBLEM being chased with the urgency that i think the BTC community should have? Maybe i am missing something, or many things, i am by no means an advanced and very knowledgeable member of the community. But is the theory that major miner groups hijacking the BTC ecosystem in order to keep their high fees absurd? Maybe it is, but at my current understanding it seems like a possibility.

5. Bitcoin considered solely as a store of value. Right now, the only use of BTC is functioning as a store of value. Let other cryptos serve the more mundane task of serving as cash! BTC is digital GOLD! So the argument goes. Is this enough for the BTC? This isn't what i thought BTC was supposed to be. It SHOULD serve as a srote of value as well as a means for making fast and costless daily transactions. You see i am not against a system that serves solely as a store of value but i WONDER if it will be enough, will BTC present enough utility for people once they realize they can't use it for small transactions, but instead they should see BTC solely as something akin to a long term investment, that isn't useful for small transactions? The way i see it the more utility a crypto currency presents to its users, the ore value it will have, and right now there are a dozen CRYPTOS will a lot more utility than the Bitcoin.

So i ask again what makes Bitcoin the King? Network effect? The fact that it has been time-tested longer than any other crypto? A supposed community that supports it (what support they give eludes me too, i don't see much support actually)? Right now i see the BTC as a bloated, outdated and overvalued ecosystem that may survive and continue to thrive just because it has the first mover advantage and biggest network, but i am not sure of it and would really appreciate if it actually kept the edge in it's design and technology too over other cryptos. Right now i don't see it at all.

The future of bitcoin is look like a new tehcnology.  Maybe it will be modernize and become more amazing in the near future, many people believe and trust bitcoin today thatvis why I believe that we can considered that this bitcoin has a better future, maybe it will have many more improvement that can make anyone gain a huge amount of profit that better than today.

if this is true and put in reality would you think how much be the ico price of fb? expect lot of investors will flocking in this coin considering ut jas already market and so many companies uses facebook as source of advertisement.

Get an offline wallet and keep your coins secure

The best way to earn bitcoin for me is here in signature campaign, especially if you are in a highest position you will paid also a highest stakes. But some also say that trading is good source of bitcoin but i did not know how to trade.

I also suspect that this could be the case as this crypto market space is changing rapidly and bitcoin could be the IBM of crypto.

i hope so too

I am with you in this one, but what do you say about the Livestars is not revolutionary, about replacing middlemans with their platforms?

My opinion is that with blockchain technologhy models can get paid easily and steadily, customer can get what they want more cheap due to deleted middlemans.

Considering 1043 ETH that raised, people seemed to convince with the idea.

You must figure out about that coin carefully. You need check develope team, is there anyone that had a bad review or fake information. beside, you need to research what that altcoin will apply social. Checking its community, is it positive or not ?  And finally, it must gain targets in roadmap
