Hello guys, To me, it seems pretty strange that people actually continues buying btc now... I understood why they wanted to invest in btc before, after the Chyprus crisis, and all the articles in the media. But now? I don't get it. Bitcoin is useless, and will most likely never be used as a currency. I spent hours trying to get my first bitcoins (satoshi actually), and after working for ages, I only got 0.002 btc, which does not even allow me to proceed to a transaction (the fees are higherthan that amount ). When you compare it with CC or paypal, it seems that they are free to use in comparison! Not to mention the time required to actually proceed to a transaction which can be anything between 1 minute and ... 1 year (or more?). The only possible reason I see people are buying btc is that they (truly) believe that the price will increase, and want to make more profit. I think that 99.99 % of the bitcoins exchanged are never withdrawn from the exchangers, and the people are only waiting to make some profits. What makes them believe that the price will rise? Because the amount of bitcoins is limited? Because lost coins can never be recovered? I have no clue. An other problem is the "mining" part. Soon, the difficulty will increase, CPU and GPU mining will be useless. People will stop mining bitcoins and try LTC or something easy to get... The interest in btc will decrease. Other issues: - security. Not a single company was able to provide a "professional" service. Bitcoin-24 has a serious problem ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=174600.0 ). Even mtgox was critized for the lags, problems with missing coins, money, delay, and so on ... The hacks are countless (you can see new topics about that every day ...). I can't see anything positive about btc, and still can't get why people are buying it. Can any captain obvious explains? Thanks. Because having a bitcoin is possible to make a profit, and therefore people continue to buy bitcoins to gain profit to increase income.

Some people still do it because they have their faith on bitcoin and they know that it will make sense in the future. Some buy bitcoin because they thing it is a great time to do so knowing that bitcoin's value has been very down lately and it will grant them plenty of benefits if ever it rises up once again.

You can't blame if they are still hoping that bitcoin would soon rise again. They have their free will and they will be the one to suffer the consequences if ever things gets more messed up. Many people are already claiming that bitcoin's end is very near so those who are still buying bitcoin are the ones who thinks oppositely on what pessimistic bashers say.

These thread has been for how many years and I think, these questioning mind had already got the answer. Yet I want also to add something. The people of this world has invested in cryptocurrency specific in bitcoin because of different purposes and reasons, some thought it as an investment, like stocks or real estate where prices can go increase for a certain period of time, some had research it and some did not. Others, because it is the trend, they went to that flow, some are just for the purposes of its original purpose, the remittance or transferring of funds. We cannot predict people but I hope, in everything we do, plan and educate ourselves first.

Because they still believe in Bitcoin, so they continue to buy Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a digital asset that is able to give us hope, therefore I really like and and if there is money I will invest my money again to buy Bitcoin. indeed besides Bitcoin there are also some good investment tools, such as Gold and Land. but I think Bitcoin has the advantage of it.

People continue to use bitcoin because they see it as profitable. Maybe it will never be accepted as a common currency, but it does not matter. As long as you earn it, nobody will think about it.

People are invested in bitcoin in many ways. They see good reasons to stick with it and most of them are thinking long term. Things crash from time to time, it doesnt mean they are dead. And besides that profit isn't the main focus for most of the old dogs of bitcoin.
Actually, many people invested in bitcoin in a lot of reasons. The main reason why people keep on buying bitcoin is the opportunity to become rich or millionaire. In addition to that, bitcoin is very profitable so that many people keep on buying it.

A high ranking member of the bitcointalk.org a community of bitcoin lovers can post this about bitcoin, that show you lack of knowledge of what bitcoin really is aside seeing bitcoin as just an investment platform or a get rich quick scheme. But bitcoin is more then that bitcoin is a currency which can be use across border and free from any interference from government or any institutions.

People are still buying BTC because it has certain positive characteristics which enables the global community to attract bitcoin for their investments and the daily requirements.Through the block chain technology all the transaction records are stored perfectly unaltered.The credibility of the bitcoin is ensured by the global investors and its popularity has widen so more people are attracted to it ,also it is a new form of economical theory which is against the present financial concepts

If people still buy bitcoin they still believe in bitcoin for the future. And perhaps more and more people want to know bitcoin from their colleagues who understand bitcoin.

I can't see anything positive about btc, and still can't get why people are buying it. Can any captain obvious explains? Thanks. Here we are five years later and many original complaints are still relevant, while some others we can look on with the benefit of hindsight. Bitcoin is useless, and will most likely never be used as a currency. Five years later and this is more true than not. I wouldn't call it useless, but it's certainly not being used regularly as a currency. Much more as a speculative investment and gambling medium than anything else (gambling both in the sense of speculation and as a token for internet gambling games). I only got 0.002 btc, which does not even allow me to proceed to a transaction (the fees are higherthan that amount ). When you compare it with CC or paypal, it seems that they are free to use in comparison! Transaction fees have come down significantly, but it was true that for over a year the network was crippled by high sky-high transaction fees and a perpetual backlog of hundreds of thousands of unconfirmed transactions. The network was pretty unreliable during that time period. Now, PayPal is potentially cheaper (depending on how you transact), but for your standard transactions Bitcoin probably has a slight advantage, although PayPal wins the speed comparison. An other problem is the "mining" part. Soon, the difficulty will increase, CPU and GPU mining will be useless. People will stop mining bitcoins and try LTC or something easy to get... The interest in btc will decrease. This didn't really pan out. People still mine and generally haven't lost interest, although I don't think anyone 5 years ago would have predicted how fast the difficulty would rise. Even mtgox was critized for the lags, problems with missing coins, money, delay, and so on ... Lol. This was still about a year before Mt. Gox shut down. If only people had any idea of what was to come.

Buying bitcoin is the best strategy to make a profit, I'm sure that bitcoin development will continue to improve so that users can get big profits like last December.
People still buy Bitcoin because we assume people are rational in the market and have perfect knowledge and information about the technology. Having said that, they will invest in an asset that is of good future return and Bitcoin is since their favorite coin, it can be said Bitcoin is of great future benefits. Besides, the real market charts and graphs also depict the said concept graphically.
