The question is for how long will human. Being exist, or for how long will the internet exist? I think the internet will exist for centuries, therefore bitcoin will exist for centuries just like the internet, there is what people say that bitcoin will seize to exist when miners cannot generate new coin but they ten d to forget that miners also earn money from transaction fee of users.
That's is what we call stupidity of the highest rank, or maybe the person was having mental issues from the effect of smoking too much weed, how can one commit suicide for a currency that haven't even collapse yet, pleasewe need to start informing the people we bring into the crypto sphere not just about the benefit of crypto but even about the risk.
I don't think anyone here can stop the downtrend of bitcoin and crypto as a whole , this is a free market where anyone can trade his or her coin for any amount they choose too, all we can help doing is trying to curtail every form of FUD news in other to prevent panic sells, because this is the major challenge of what is affecting price of bitcoin and other crypto currency.
Wow, this is a great news, they kept to thier word as promised that they would give everyone who owns a coin the bch equivalent by 2018 , this is a good news to my American brothers who left thier BTC in colonnade when the fork took place, it's also a good news to those that don't even know that they was a fork going on in the Blockchain August 2017.
I don't really that think we can consider Bitcoin as the equivalent of dollars: $ belongs to the government whereas BTC is completely decentralized. Their systems are completely different, bitcoin works on the principle of free market, while cash works on the principle of centralized market.
