If fleas were refer to dump, negative news or being controlled by whales then it's not really going down as they may come anytime since the market is tend to be that way. The market is volatile and will have it's way to up and down due to economic changes that happening not just in crypto but in economy of a specific country adapting crypto. Hopefully before halving btc will not encounter any flows  before that.

How can bitcoin be underutilizing? I don't understand it.

As of right now people are using Bitcoin as a placeholder for things like gold, silver, ect. I don't think bitcoin has the framework to be used in day to day transactions. You look at Visa which processes millions of transactions a day and  compare it to Bitcoin. The network can't handle that amount of volume, especially when factoring confirmation times. I don't think people are under utilizing BTC. It's a matter of the fact that BTC can't handle the load.

I really can't use BTC or altcoins to pay bills or purchase anything at my place. Cryto for me is still an investment option although I know blockchain is a powerful and cheap method to do any type of financial transaction. BTC due to its volatile nature is hard to be accepted as currency in my country, as as people are more concerned to save their money instead of taking risk to grow it and that is right as per their risk appetite. Lets see if things get changed with time.

I understand why a big company may need to do something like this but if a small business accepts bitcoin then why not take the risk and keep holding it, I know businesses have expenses and bills to pay but unless all their sales are on bitcoin and they need fiat then they could hold some of it, after all if they already took the risk to accept bitcoin in exchange for their services they might as well take the risk of holding bitcoin as well since it is a risk that could pay dividends in the future.

Alas, I do not use bitcoin in everyday life.And this fact is not due to the fact that I do not like bitcoin,but to the fact that in my country very few services not accept bitcoin for payment.

Hey Tim, I've seen some of your posts and of course, respect you as a fellow freelancer, we're all trying to make a living here, and we all want to try and share knowledge -- but I've always had my doubts about marketing for crypto, done the way most digital marketing is carried out.

I think actual engagement is still very difficult to achieve in the short term, and there's only so much that so-called growth hacking strategies can do for organic growth and "real" engagement.

I personally like a few brands I follow, and you can see perhaps a couple or more posts with comments in a week, but these generate a lot of further comments but they're useful and guys like me go through the entire length to read.

But overall, statistically, they have shit, close to 0% engagement. But zero spam comments.

My issue with paid marketing and growth hacking (I've tried them in the past for various small projects) is that they seem to give me the #s, but not the staying power, non-sustainable impact. And in fact, the long-term repercussion for many projects who try paid marketing is that they're left with thousands of followers who probably aren't real people OR aren't people who will ever be invested (time or effort) into the project.

OF course, I know you're talking about free marketing, and not paid. But my point is, maybe taking short cuts ends up getting you lost in the wilderness? As opposed to not marketing and just getting stuck in obscurity? =)

We can use Bitcoin to pay someone services then in some transaction also worldwide but you know volatile price of it is a big deal like this is really more often use for an investment by many users another thing someone really accept this like in cards but we do hold or save this still for an investment,Moreover Bitcoin can works as a payment method worldwide

I think this is good news Coca Cola company uses the blockchain. most companies do not yet accept bitcoin as a means of payment but they will always accept the blockchain as a new breakthrough in technology. and I am optimistic that with the increasing number of large companies using blockchain it will encourage the adoption of blockchain and this will also encourage them to also accept or use bitcoin as a means of payment. there have been many large companies that accept bitcoin as a means of payment such as starbukcs, burger king, and others.
