It is great to see the Poll getting used and 'No bitcoin wont burst for years it will go up year on year.'

Although I understand what makes Blockchain different I always feel that the community behind Tech like everything determines its success.

Bitcoin has a massive community and following not to mention all the innovative Alts that are valued against Bitcoin.

Bitcoin may enter a 'bubble' at times however it looks like this new digital currency is here to stay and this pole would resemble the same.

 

Bitcoin and the rest of the Market seem to be bouncing back nicely.

Does everyone think it is likely to go way up past the rate it will eventually settle at or is it more likely to rise and fall and the reach it's eventual rate before stabilising.

Not sure if that makes sense but just wondering what the general opinion is on how it will reach its eventual rate.

Pump will not take bitcoin to 20,000$. It is a slow and steady process and it may take 4 to 5 months until we see 20,000$ again. During this time we may see increase in prices followed by decrease in prices. The prices can not always move in upward direction constantly.

I agree with this and think this will be the most likely outcome. Do you think it will go past and back or just upto evtual stable value. (Obviously I am just speculating that it will eventually find a stable value like all commodities.


 

I truly hope this is this case and we can all benefit greatly for years to come

Well said, this is also my opinion however I think it is great that Bitcoin talk gives freedom of opinion and the poll allows an honest open gauge for what the majority feels.

Thank you for wide variety of opinions on if bitcoin is a bubble or not?

Please use the pole to submit a vote on what you feel bitcoin will do so that we may see the overall opinion on if Bitcoin is a bubble?

 

Thanks for all the great opinions, I love this community - finally we can talk freely and have an opinion without the man trying to force his view.

Looks like Bitcoin is bouncing back once again, is there a way to tell when it is next likely to 'correct'? or indicators that can be used to move to tether during correction times?

If bitcoin is a bubble it looks like it has several more cycles to go yet. In my opinion I can't see how it could permanently vanish given the major traction and adoption not to mention the other obvious advantages over other modern currencies.

HBOS

A friend just sent me this: I have just had 4 of my HBOS bank accounts closed, reason is they suspect Bitcoin purchases and sales and as such: 'I do not align with the banks risk policy.'

Just thought I would let potential HBOS account holders know to help avoid account freezing.
 

HELLO community,

Thanks for letting be part of this community and hopefully getting to that stage where I am learning to separate the FUD and noise from the fundamentals of what and why Bitcoin is.

Hi,

After reading up on the lightning network it would seem this will make Bitcoin price go bullish again.

Just thought I would start a discussion to see what the community thoughts on this are??

It gives me confidence to see that no one has voted ' it will burst permanently' or 'it will eventually burst and die'. The general consensus throughout post is bitcoin will last long term.

Hi Community not sure if you have heard about the following so thought I would share:

Germany Approves Cryptocurrency As Legal Means Of Payment

The German Ministry Of Finance would exempt tax payment from bitcoin and other cryptocurrency transactions used as a means of payment.

On Tuesday Feb 27th, the German Federal Authority issued a statement announcing its decision to consider purchases with bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as tax exempt, citing the 2015 judgement of the European Court, which set a precedent for all members of the European Union.

With the newly introduced tax laws, Germany will regard cryptocurrency as equivalent to legal tender when used as a means of payment. The German Tax statement reads:

"Virtual Currencies (Cryptocurrencies, e.g. Bitcoin) become the equivalent to legal means of payment, insofar as these so-called virtual currencies of those involved in the transaction as an alternative contractual and immediate means of payment have been accepted"

According to EU's directives, a conversion from crypto to fiat or vice versa is classified as "other taxable services". This means that a tax exemption benefit shall be implemented for transactions that involve exchanging cryptocurrencies to fiat currency and vice versa.

Under this provision, cryptocurrency exchanges operating in the country can also benefit from tax exemptions acting as intermediaries for exchange transactions. The court's ruling also states that the minor's fees will not be taxed as their services are 'voluntary' under these tax laws.

These set guidelines by the German Ministry Of Finance are in contrast with the US government stance on cryptocurrency, where the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers Bitcoin as property and therefore subject to property tax.

Hope you found my post useful.  Merit

It is great to read alternative points of view on this. I heard Germany are legalising Bitcoin. Hopefully this will help with long term sustainability 

Thanks Zin-Zang,

I had heard that although the general public claim that that Blockchain is not energy efficient it is actually more energy efficient than the banks networks? In other words if you scrapped all the banks current server rooms and networks and replaced with Blockchain the world would be more energy efficient, is this the case? On this basis could proof of work still play a major part of Blockchain in the future?
