- energy needs will raise questions for  the whole thing (it will be a huge effort for the last million to be mined - i doubt that they will ever mined till the end)
- proof of work concept being questioned as of efficiency and by that time other more flexible and less energy consuming  cryptos might emerge. that doesn't mean that btc will loose it's strong appeal due to 21 million hard coded thing

-also the security thing is something that will follow us for a long time it seems  but it will be settled down one way or another

for the moment ride the  wave, no questions asked ....lol

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

in my opinion, bitcoin price fluctuations suddenly rise and fall, high transaction costs and slow transactions can also be a factor causing bitcoin can not be accepted as a primary form of payment
indeed this is the nature of bitcoin. when prices can not be controlled and because of an information alone bitcoin prices are able to drop 50% this is very make orag...

Bitcoin is a victim of its own success, far too volatile, but also too slow and expensive for transactions.

I think I'm most tired of my friends and family asking: "Isnt that illegal?"

LOL, same situation here, it's why i even stopped to talk about bitcoin.

- "Hey do you know bitcoin ?"
- "Yes sure, it is the currency of the darkweb"

(¬‿¬)
Last 2 years ago i start using bitcoin the price was low, yes i admit i have lost hope in the past i want to stop the bitcoin, i think that's because my family will not live in this way but i did not lose hope i continued and now here we come what a surprise the bitcoin price is getting more higher Smiley thank you bitcoin Smiley

BTCBTC Price is very unstable. Even BTC price is rising , that also a symptom of a very unstable condition. Anyway It is a profit to us. But we can surely understand one day that process will be reversed.

I think it's the slow process for confirming Bitcoin transactions. Imagine waiting for hours to confirm your purchase. Maybe, it's possible for online purchases but still it's something that needs to improve.

The biggest disadvantage of the bitcoin is that high price fluctuation and probably people still do not trust him, believing it is an economic bubble at this time.

i believe one of the drawbacks impacting bitcoin right now is the higher fees  we need to spend if we want our transactions to become verified faster and their is also some division within the crypto on working out what is best for the cryptocurrency due to some personal daily activities tied to it

To use bitcoin, you need to create a bitcoin store, which must be done on the computer. For those who are technologically unattractive without guidance, it is difficult for them to do this themselves, and there is a risk of fraud.

Due to the anonymity of bitcoin and uncontrolled crime, criminals can use this currency as a trading method. Hackers may be trying to attack multiple bitcoins to steal large amounts of money and money laundering can happen easily. Angry

As for me, btc is not approved by the state as legal currency, other than that btc is very likely to be misused for money laundering and illegal transactions  Sad

despite bitcoin has many advantages but it also has disadvantages like it can be used by bad person to do bad things, the amount of transactions are too many that make the process slow and heavy, moreover the fee charges  for bitcoin transactions are still very high, and finally bitcoin price is very unstable.

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
Being volatile and being not legal to most of the countries are factors which serves as the disadvantage of Bitcoin and ither cryptocurrency. But these problems are not permanent since by the time that Bitcoin is already legal to most of the countries, it will also be less volatole since the femand will be high and its market value will continuously rise making it highly stable. Let's just hope that things will b3 in favor for Bitcoin in the future.

For investment side the time frame for transfers and fees is a turn down. Anounymousity is both good and bad. I understand why the goverment wants to regulate btc. As it is fairly easy to launder money. I think that is why it will be hard to make btc a mainstream currency.

Bitcoin now is the first decentralized digital currency and due to everyone who became successful in earning using bitcoin some people now are encourage to try it also. Even other countries are implementing the bitcoin now as their one of payments. But there is also a disadvantages when in bitcoins. Bitcoins are somehow only accepted by few people even it is now in different countries. Also the value of bitcoin goes up and down, it doesn’t have fixed value. And it cannot use in physical store.

Right now, the high charges and long time of verification.This way we can't use bitcoin to buy at some point-by-day time coffee.
For me the biggest disadvantage of bitcoin is its open for all the people, why it becames disadvantage? It becames disadvantage because there are many scammers have been known bitcoin and so in that way there are now many scammer have been scam many people here in bitcoin, particulary the newbie in crypto world.
