I don't like about bitcoin that its price is constantly changing and it is very difficult to predict its behavior. Also I don't like the fact that very few proposals on trade with bitcoin and the high price of transactions.

The biggest disadvantage of bitcoin for me, is when it is very volatile, even though there is a lot of people that are wanting for a very volatile price of bitcoin but for some of the users it is an disadvantage for us because it can trigger doubts for bitcoin and it will lead bitcoin for gaining low trust because the price of bitcoin is dumping and pumping.

I think the most important things is to accelerate the transaction speed, it can't be implemented by store if the customer need to wait hours to purchase a things and then there is still a lot of people doesn't know what is bitcoin and also the unstable price makes the store difficult to predict the profit
The most important thing is how to accelerate the transaction and also can not be implemented in various stores and if the customers have to wait too long to buy something, many do not understand the bitcoin because its unstable price becomes They lack understanding and difficult to predict

Digital QR codes make bitcoin vulnerable to theft. Transmuting digital Bitcoins into a paper medium means the QR code reveals your underlying location. Scanning that QR code means anyone can anonymously steal Bitcoins. That’s the bad part about anonymizing a currency. Masking ownership means no audit trail to recover a thief’s digital fingerprints.

I believe it is in its infancy stage and needs many changes to be done. Such as improvements in blockchain technology. There are many holes in the tech and which is making the process very slow. Miners are getting difficulties. The disadvantage of this? Increased mining fees, increased transaction fees and drop in price time to time.
It's an obvious thing that everything has its advantages and disadvantages. As bitcoin has helped the public a lot, still there are some certain thing those needs to be changed. One disadvantage of a bitcoin is that it isn't accepted widely. Some particular merchants provide such on online facility for users. We have to widen the circle of bitcoin if we want to make bit coin’s future safe for long period of time.

What's preventing Bitcoins from being accepted as mainstream payment forms? I'm working on a new blockchain and would like to learn what drawbacks of Bitcoin urgently need to be improved ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) The first disadvantage of bitcoin is only used in developed countries, and in other countries not much is known. The second disadvantage of bitcoin is that it has not been widely used yet some countries have not yet recognized bitcoin. The third disadvantage of bitcoin usually fluctuates, so users have to be smart in the buying process. But that disadvantages will not stay forever, eventually improvement will happen in the future because bitcoin's success cannot be stop anymore. It's very simple to use it and we are on the digital world so as long as you have the internet and your country has not restricted bitcoin it will be possible for you. for sure that’s not a big disadvantage of bitcoin. As bitcoin changes its value every day and bring good change in it the prices increase every day and put some more in it instead of decreasing. Conformation is now has become very fast so there are more advantages than disadvantage.

I'm working on a new blockchain and would like to learn what drawbacks of Bitcoin urgently need to be improved ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I see only two concerning matter which actually hindering the growth of bitcoin as well as making it harder to be accepted as a mainstream currency. 1. The slow confirmation time. 2. High transaction fees. These two roadblocks are actually discouraging people to accept bitcoin in their business and until it is fixed, I don't see any good reason for the bitcoin to become a mainstream currency. It will remain as an investment currency as of now. If a person wants to buy something with bitcoin, he will have to wait for minimum 30 minutes for the transaction to get confirmed. Also he will have to pay a high fees over and above the price of the goods. So it is a lot easier for anyone to use fiat and complete the trade.

I think the disadvantages of having bitcoin is first, bitcoin is hard to understand for many people especially those who live where bitcoin is not yet legalize because even the government cannot recognize the real essence of this cryptocurrency to have a great impact to its economy and people. Also having a bitcoin to countries where it is not yet legalize is hard because it is still not accepted as a type of payment. The transaction confirmation really takes a long time that gets its consumer down to their nerve or simply got a little bit mad because of the long waiting.

You do not need to let everyone use bitcoin, there are people who can understand and we should be focusing on educating them. The biggest disadvantage only for me is the loaded network and the high fees, but in terms of education it's good and easy to understand since it's transparent, and anyone who knows how to use the internet will be able to understand bitcoin.

I don’t think the legal status of bitcoin has to do anything with whether people understand bitcoin or not, in the technical side bitcoin is complex and most people in this forum, including myself, do no understand completely the way it works, but bitcoin is very easy to use, make no mistake about that.

What are you talking about? QR codes are for public addresses. If I'm going to send my bitcoins to you and we're together physically, then I can just scan your QR code instead of copying the text of your address. I don't see a private key that's in QR code. Maybe it's just me or that it doesn't really exist at all. And, if someone can really just steal your bitcoins, then that should have happened a lot of times. Most times people get hacked because their computer is infected with virus or that they accidentally gave their private key to someone. QR code is not in the situation. You want no audit trail or any public ledger? Then go ahead and use black bytes from Byteball. They don't have any of that. It's completely anonymous.

I don't find anything that prevent major mainstream adoption which is happening day by day, the biggest original difficulty is the price of bitcoin but it doesn't matter since it can be broken to as many small pieces as necessary. Even the confirmations isn't an issue IMO, Few minutes are within acceptable waiting time.

You said it yourself, the problem is not in bitcoins but in you. It's not that you doubt bitcoins, what you doubt is your survival skills in bitcoin. If bitcoin price goes down, you're panicking because you don't know if you're going to survive that dump. Bitcoin can't do anything about that. It's all on you. While bitcoin has a lot of advantages, it has some disadvantages too and what I feel is it's (bitcoin's) not having a physical form is also a disadvantage. There's no charge back or reverse transaction in bitcoin which is also a disadvantage you can't reverse the transaction if someone doesn't send you the goods already agreed upon. Another disadvantage which has emerged recently and which might prove to be a threat to the entire bitcoin ecosystem is concentration of bitcoin in hands of few. There might be a few more but these are the ones I wish could be removed.
That's why you have to use escrow or only deal with people that have a good reputation and no negative feedback. Be responsible for yourself. Don't just blame the technology. Everything will always have flaws. No charge back is a very useful feature for sellers. In Paypal, a lot of sellers lose money because the other end dispute their money. There are even tutorials out there about how to dispute money on Paypal and be get accepted by Paypal all the time. Paypal seems to do no action about the matter.

What's preventing Bitcoins from being accepted as mainstream payment forms? I'm working on a new blockchain and would like to learn what drawbacks of Bitcoin urgently need to be improved ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Because bitcoin lacks security rigor, bitcoin management becomes difficult. And the payment by bitcoin because of that there are many obstacles. Criminals can attack to steal at any time because the internet does not restrict anyone You might as well claim that assassins will kill us because they can walk in the streets freely. One thing, hackers don't care about us. If they are going to hack someone for money, they will hack someone that has a large amount of money. You've got 1 BTC? You've got 10 BTC? No hacker would want that. With the security of bitcoins, they will have to infect the PC of a user before they can ever hack someone. It's really hard to hack someone so they are going to hack someone that is worth hacking. Criminals can attack anytime but that doesn't mean you will be the target. Fight for yourself and make sure that you have a really clean PC. I would recommend using Linux as an OS because it's much more secure than Windows.

No, there are no disadvantages with the Bitcoin. Somebody feels like that the code will be hacked by hackers, then our bitcoins will be stolen, like that. No worries at all, bitcoin is complete secure system.

"Explain the fact that you have to pay more than one dollar for a one dollar transaction." "Explain the fact that everyone's uncertain about what's going to happen to bitcoin after August 1." "Explain how mining bitcoin is only profitable to people that are already rich in real life." "Explain how we have to wait days before out transaction gets confirmed despite putting enough transaction fee." That's just the very limited questions that you will have if ever you make a thread out there saying that bitcoin has no disadvantage. Everything has a flaw and bitcoin is not an exception.

A few minutes is a lot if you are buying something in a vending machine, or when you are buying groceries at the store, bitcoin right now works very well for payments over the Internet where you have a few hours to get a confirmation, but it is not ready for the real world.

The disadvantages which you mentioned are not the bigger one and they will be solved sooner without any hard delay. the price varies widely it is because of its initial stage and the more people will adopt it the more stability will occur in bitcoin. the transaction will also be more better than today. whenever a person join bitcoin they start to get the knowledge so we only need to inform them about bitcoin and they will get the knowledge themselves. In the future because of the benefits of bitcoin almost all of the countries will accept the existence of bitcoin.
