Bitcoin ‘Died’ 90 Times In 2018

[Stedsm]

There's just one simple statement for such articles:
"It doesn't really cost these news websites more than $50-100 (maybe $500 if too much reputed and a PR) to make their writers present such piquant and peppery articles which influence their subscribers to an extent that they don't even think before selling their diamond-like precious asset (BTC) for the price of peanuts."

people will always have different opinions, this is normal. Bitcoin is not dead but it has many challenges to overcome and the greatest challenge is to have utility in the real world, to leave the online world to be in the real world as a means of payment, we can not be happy just because we are selling and buying in a exchange or staying limited in the online world.

Bah, don't think it will ever be the case.

I mean what could possibly be the point of BTC in real life?
Paying for daily things? Thanks we do that already with fiat and it's just perfect.

Bitcoin is here to store value, gamble, trade, exchange value anonymously or by large distance.
That's all, and that's pretty impressive already.
There is no need to find something else, for me it's enough as a use case.

2018, was a bad year and that is why many posts come out in saying bitcoin is death but I do believe that this year 2019, is a great year and bitcoin is going to surge Very  high.

It all depends on what side of the road you stand. If you thought to become rich in 2018, which applies to most people, then 2018 was a pretty destructive year for your "investment" in terms of its fiat value.

If you know how to play this market, mainly because of what you have gone through in the previous years, 2018 was an amazing year for you, because you had the opportunity to buy back your coins at way lower levels.

The good thing is that you can learn from what happened last year if you got burned, and use it in your advantage during and after the next bull run, because remember, the price always tanks after pumps of that magnitude.
