Bitcoin: Should you stay or should you go?

[krunox123]

I'll definitely stay and will never let go of Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is the future.

I will survive use. Why ? because I know it will continue to grow.

I wonder how can you survive with just Bitcoin.
Well, in my city, I cannot buy food with Bitcoin. So, I still need to depend on fiat money.

BTW, How about bitcoin<->fiat (online) conversion? (indirectly dependent on bitcoin).

Probably they just need have it convert to FIAT for it to be used in buying foods.

I think i will stay, i have earn and enjoy things from bitcoin, so i want to stay and watch bitcoin until its grow bigger or even if bitcoin crash, i think i have earn profit from bitcoin

[harizen]

staying would let you earn some money if the price grows

Yes, the potential is quite big if you want to earn money. For the past year, bitcoin served as a extra money-maker for me. Though it is not that much, still I can somehow depend on it whenever the need for extra expenses arises.

for the quite some months my monthly expenses are fully depended on Bitcoins which i am earning through signature campaign and trading in bitcoins, some i am earning through sports betting. I am totally staying with Bitcoin and i am seeing a bright future for all who are with bitcoin.

How much months  you could have survived with the earnings got from bitcoin and also by selling your earned bitcoins. Hardly you could have survived for 3 months. The price of bitcoin was somehow high in the past, so you have survived. Now you try to live with todays price of bitcoin. Can just agree bitcoin will grow in coming months.

In my case, my bitcoin earnings covered some of my general purposes in my life without my real life job salary used. The price when I started is around $250 per single coin. Imagine today's price is around $370 so imagine how much money I saved now than before.

Same is here,
I also want to increase the bitcoins in my wallet, as the price is now increasing but I have nothing in my wallet to increase with. Currently I am doing a number of online jobs to earn some bitcoins, and when I noticed that the price is increase at a boost then I will buy them with fiats .

I am one of the holders and I am feeling comfortable with doing that I also hope bitcoin will contribute to a better world together with the rest of us IMO.

Without a defining killer app, I am confident that Bitcoin will, in fits and starts, inevitably return to its 2009 levels. It would be pointless to guess how long that process will take; or when that killer app will appear although I am also confident it will appear at some entirely unpredictable point.

I'm easily old enough to remember the very early days of personal computers. I remember a story from The Wall Street Journal in which a reporter interviewed a small-business owner (I think an auto-repair shop) who had bought an Apple II. The reporter asked the man what he thought of his purchase. The man stared glumly at the Apple for a moment and then sourly commented: "The damn thing just sits there."

Exactly. The world was just never going to buy into a command-prompt environment in a really big way. But the Mac came along and then the world began to change. (Be like the Mac! Bill Gates commanded his troops developing Windows 95.) And so it will be with Bitcoin. The world will never buy into it until an environment comes along that makes it easier, safer, and a lot more fun to use. Until then, the price will suffer periodic whale-dumps and then sort of bounce, spurt, and finally just roll along long enough for people to start talking (again) about "Bitcoin's recent price stability." And then yet another whale-dump will splash the water and the retroactively obvious cycle will begin again.

If you decide to go, then you will miss out on the killer app that will send Bitcoin to the moon and beyond. If you decide to stay, then you will watch the value of your stash just ebb away before your eyes. That choice defines your control.

As for me, for now I'm going to stay. But I've got Coinbase and can go in a second. That could happen at any time too.

My conclusion: stay. The blockchain itself will be the killer app upon which all other apps and bitcoins' fiat value will depend.]

There are a lot of physical tools that will severely aid in bitcoin's adoption and success. Bitcoin credit cards, ATM's, physical wallets, etc, all of which are already springing up. As for the value of bitcoin, why would it go low in the long term when it is of fixed amount? The price should increase proportionally with adoption at the least.

i'm just in, still a newbie but i'm here to stay

Well, honestly, I personally don't like the bank to be involved. Because I prefer to directly purchase my foods with Bitcoin instead.
But that is the only way to buy foods indirectly with Bitcoin though.

That is the truth.

Bitcoin today can never be lived without banks... somehow..

Without banks, converting bitcoin to fiat will have a hard time in most of the places.

Maybe in the future. But it will take a deep brainstorming.

i'd prefer stay , even my income from bitcoin still a little in a month but it can be 2-3 times more than my salary in real life,
bitcoin change my life to be so much better

You are right, bitcoin is going to be a mainstream digital currency for online use as well as for physical use and it would definitely have some good value. We should stay with it. It will benefit us in near future.

[Armando]

It's impossible to stay somewhere all the time, and you'll be pretty tired on the go 24/7  So my choice is sometimes stay and sometimes go

Yeah if you want to get rich you can stay, and if you don't want to get rich you can leave straightway, its an individual decision either to stay or leave, a wiser man would surely stay as he knows that he will be grabbing some benefits from bitcoins in future.

Well leaving or staying is a personal choice.

What's for sure though, is that you still have something like a few weeks/months to decide yourself. Cause after the halving, btc will either die or skyrocket so you gotta chose before then! ^^

Yeah the better decision would be to stay at a moment, as we have waited so long, so leaving at the final stage would be something foolishness to do, I would surely stay until the halving occurs and hope that everything goes fine.

[LarryHocks]

Let's face it. bitcoin is here to stay.
The price can go down or up but in most cases it's just temporary.

Long term prediction for bitcoin is very positive.

I am 100% agree with the first point. Although I'm not so sure in the last one, at least for this/next year when the market is relatively small and miners "cash out" lots of coins every day
