Bitcoin Is DEAD Again!!

[iamTom123]

Today, Bitcoin is declared to be dead again as BitcoinCash is surging so high into the atmosphere as many people are expressing their complaints on Bitcoin's astronomical transaction fees and questionable speed. There is a movement right now in the market expressing a big dismay or disappointment on Bitcoin as this is not the Bitcoin that we are supposed to have. Bitcoin enthusiasts are recognizing this problem and hoping that soon the problem can be given adequate and acceptable solutions. Have you already said your goodbye to Bitcoin and hello to BitcoinCash? Do you think the Lightning Network does have the chance to save Bitcoin even temporarily?

Why you think its dead? Its just a price drop, pretty normal in crypto world, If this you consider a dead then bitcoincash stays dead 99% of the year lol.

[TheQuin]

I agree Bitcoin is dead *places large buy order at $14,000*

Lightning Network is far more than a tempory solution, it's the only feasible scaling solution in site. Bcash is only cheap to use because demand is so low. The recent tests of LN on the live network show it is almost ready to launch. Bitcoin is far ahead in adoption and the furthest ahead in developing a scaling solution. That is a very good reason to back Bitcoin in this race and not get distracted by the noises around.

[onetimemoney]

Even if 1% of online transaction(shopping etc) in future happens to be in bitcoin then it's network will be dead.

don't think it's coin for future. Just reap in benefits till it's alive and mooning.

[MrCrank]

Don't panic!
Bitcoin is not dead 
Bitcoin has huge potential to rise now.
I think it's time to buy it.

[Ledy Alise]

Huh, not only Bitcoin Cash is threat, but also Segwit2x relaunch (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2595620.0)

[tiggytomb]

This is a testing time for bitcoin right now, as there are a lot of new people coming in and discovering bitcoin and the crypto world, it is a shame that this is the time when bitcoin is suffering the most with crazy high fees and slow transaction times.

It is an ideal opportunity for bitcoin cash to start getting themselves across with faster transaction times and so on, they are not shy about this and we can see now that it has been added to Coinbase it will only increase.

I would not say bitcoin is dead at all, bitcoin will move out of daily payments where transaction need to be quicker and cheaper and move over to a store of value, bitcoin cash can then move into a currency for daily payments.

There is room for both.

[carriebee]

There is someone saying bitcoin is dead, if you have notice the price of btc it is pump and dump. Bitcoin has always the ability to pump its value anytime. In bitcoin cash Im not sure if the price will stay on top or eventually it will dump to the price it is.

[13abyknight]

More reasons to buy the dip as Bitcoin cash is pretty evidently being pumped by Coinbase's move. Soon enough, get ready to watch the rolls being reversed as the hype train derails and Bitcoin cash begins plummeting.

As TheQuin stated above, Lightning Network is a solution for the longer run to resolve scalability issues that the core is hurdled with and is focused on delivering much more than a temporary way out.

[Dapper]

Btc at its current prices is still a dream come true.

[synapsisxxx]

TIME TO BUY!

This should concern us to look about raising the blocksize? If not to much at least little, even Andreas (https://youtu.be/vPnO9ExJ50A?t=5m58s) talks that raising the blocksize should be concerned even with LN. I don't know why some people do the things they do but they are costing this industry billions of dollars. It's strange we get over 200k unconfirmed transactions and suddenly we enter the "flipping process" for BCH, if nothing changes we can't wait for LN for ages to come BCH or any other alt such as Dash or even Ethereum it self will crush bitcoin in the long run. Bitcoin has brand let's make it something that we all can use and enjoy using it.

I mean if everyone switch to another alt I may do that in future as well, since we all can agree that bitcoin is not that much usable, it doesn't really have big use as network is overloaded with transactions... this has been here for like 2-3years I think. Let's take action? No? I doubt that people will care about my opinion and opinion of others all they care is price... there's more meaning in all of this rather than just money.

[TakeTheTrashOut]

The first question anyone should ask when something like this happens is "What caused it?"

As you now know, in this case it was Coinbase transferring BTC holdings into BCH for those that had requested it prior to the fork on August 1st. This means that despite what many will believe, it was NOT a major sell-off. Of course, now that Coinbase is offering BCH there may be many more buying into it, especially having seen growth of over 50% in under 24 hours, but these people will be doing so because:
a) they didn't know what caused that sudden hike, and
b) they buy what they consider to be most popular, and never take advantage of the dips.

I don't know if BTC will recover and hit the $20k mark this year but it is very likely to do that in January. BTC still retains the largest market cap (over 5x greater than BCH) and will undoubtedly rise to incredible heights in 2018.

Roger Ver may claim his product is superior, and that may well be true, BUT he has not understood that you do not have to have the best product in order to win the largest market share. Just look at the auto and technology industries if you don't believe me.

[Marileno]

Dead? Forget the daily fluctuations. Just look at the long term trend. When something goes up so damn fast it is natural for there to be pull backs and profit taking starts to incorporate itself into the dynamics. All of this is just noise.

[bitbunnny]

Dead again? How many times exactly we have read such stupid announcements this year?
I'm getting tired of such posts and fullish Bitcoin cash promotions, endless complainig on fees etc. And I have very simple solution for such users - if you don't like Bitcoin just stop using it and all your problems will be solved.

Why would coinbase transfer BTC to BCH for holders that requested that? They and everyone else who has priv key got an equivelent of coins on the BCH blockchain since it split, they do not need to do this.

exactly let them sell us cheap bitcoins, There are alot of fud bitcoin cash pumpers now.  bitcoin price will only triple once the Lightning network is on track with Bitcoin.  Wait and see.  Put ur money into ETH and Bitcash and then dump once u make a feasible profit and put it back into BTC once the price reaches low enough, you are going to make a killing

[kiboloves]

Today is a good time to buy, has fallen from the high point 15% this is the normal adjustment of the market, there is no need to be too panic. About BCH, there are not many investors to enter. Now the pull up price has great funds and independent operation. We should not enter BCH at this time and stick to our BTC. I believe our choice is right.

[ogini]

what make you feel that bitcoin is dead,this a volatile coin we all know it will raise and fall at anytime but this dose not mean that the currency is dead ,it happen so many times.

[aannnttoo]

bitcoin not dead
BTC is headed down for correction. Be careful trading in this market.
Buy whenever it deeps

[SUDARMONO]

I still still hold bitcoin, I know this is a reciprocal game of the cukong, when bitcoin price down the BCH price will go up, and vice versa like that so on.and whatever kelabanya bitcoin remains the main in society.

[gribble]

No due to the price of bitcoin went down doesn't mean bitcoin will be dead again, couples times many people always said like this just based on the price of bitcoin, but the fact we can see bitcoin is still alive until right now should the people doesn't makes opinions about the bitcoin just by the price of bitcoin, due to in all of cryptocurrencies are always fluctuating in the price and the price always goes up again, so do with the price of bitcoin even the price of bitcoin cash BCH is always fluctuating in its price.

[kevoh]

Roger Ver may claim his product is superior, and that may well be true, BUT he has not understood that you do not have to have the best product in order to win the largest market share. Just look at the auto and technology industries if you don't believe me.

I quite agree with the above. Roger ver and his Bitcoin cash might be better than Bitcoin but Bitcoin Cash is yet to experience the amount of users Bitcoin has. Only a matter of time the 8 MB block will have difficulty to clear transactions.

[Hariz]

You kidding right? Bitcoin is not going anywhere at least for the time being - Not sure what holds in future but its still the undisputed coin for all crypto trading. Sure, there are better alternatives out there but just the market cap, scale and community of BTC is long ahead of the alts.

[TakeTheTrashOut]

Why would coinbase transfer BTC to BCH for holders that requested that? They and everyone else who has priv key got an equivelent of coins on the BCH blockchain since it split, they do not need to do this.

I don't know. Perhaps they were simply paying out a dividend? Whatever, that was basically the message I received when logging-in to Coinbase this morning.
Coinbase is absolutely useless. I wanted to buy the dip but BTC was rising so fast that the price kept going up. Every time I got my purchase confirmed, up came a message "Buy Failed due to unknown error in processing script. Please try again later."

You can't even contact support because they have a standard reply informing you they will reply within 7 to 10 days. Not very helpful when you want to buy the dip!

[zxl912157]

this is just an excessive disappointment, I can not say that Bitcoin is dead.
it is very difficult to drop the bitcoin, and there are many people who have tried to do that. like Jp Morgan he failed to do so.
still believe in bitcoin.

[Willitivity]

Bitcoin address a not dead and can never be. That the price dropped doesn't mean anything, it happens all the time in Crypto. The price will soon surge up again and break more barriers. Your comparison to Bitcoin cash is inconclusive because Bitcoin cash can never out run Bitcoin.

[zhinaivan]

Its is not dead the bitcoin now its time to buy bitcoin because anytime its is getting high value again thats the world of cryptocurrencies thats why dont panic just only normal low buy high sell.if i have big money today i want to buy bitcoin to trade and wait to get high value to sell

[soham]

I won't say that bitcoin is dead in any way. It is still thriving and still number one among all other cryptos. However, there are two problems we are currently facing. One is the slow bitcoin network, due to which a lot of transactions are pending and secondly the high transaction fees. I just tried to transfer $370 from my online wallet and it is asking for $67 transaction fees which makes no sense to me. If the bitcoin transaction fees remains the same, people will certainly move to other currencies like ETH or BCH or Ripple for faster and cheaper transaction. However, on the other hand, the recent dip in price will give the investors an immense opportunity to buy bitcoin at a lower price. Dead is not the correct word to describe the current situation of bitcoin. It is just going through a hard time and nothing else. I believe we will soon see the end of such issues.

[tegarp90]

i think you mean "sleeping" , it's just temporary, bitcoin will going up again when the bch drama ends

[mylestan]

Today I declare that bitcoin is alive again!

dont listen to the FUD NEWS (fear, uncertainty and doubt)
Just buy and HODL.

The media would love to focus on the bad side of bitcoin by sharing the BUBBLE and the price drop but look at today it just rebounded.

On second thought please sell all your bitcoins so I can buy more at a lower price

[zikabra]

Oh no, it is dead! Again!

Have you already said your goodbye to Bitcoin and hello to BitcoinCash?

Of course not, there are 200K unconfirmed transactions and logically people will use alts to make any kind of deals, which will cause less bitcoin transactions and people will switch back to bitcoin.

I agree Bitcoin is dead *places large buy order at $14,000*

As usual 

[wndrbr3d]

Roger Ver - is it you?  

Some gossip say that Roger swaped all his BTC for BCC, as conclusion - he dont have any BTC now and he promotes BCC very hard.
Yes, BCC was pumped now (as it was added to coinbase). But BTC will exactly remain the main crypto for some years...

[Kirja]

I heard about lighting network, if it will work, Bitcoin will grow exponencially. This is big IF. If implementation will fail, BTC will be probably not dead, but something like GOLD in comodity market. It will still have his prime, but his usefullnes will be limited and price will not bounce up too much.

I think, we will see some consolidation too. Lot of coins will die, but BTC there will be always. His price of course could be very volativ.

[Chris314]

Damn, a dead coin worth more than 15 k$? What would it be worth when it'll resurrect?

[Dzernej]

Huh. If it's dead, than pls donate all your BTC to me

[PPleaseman]

Hello. Dont worry bitcoin will be back again. It was pronounced dead many times before and always recovered.
Full disclosure i think bitcoin will only be a store a value in the future, there are better projects in the future

Cheers

[JohnB31]

You still can buy a lot of pizza's for one BTCitcoin!

[CoinFoxs]

Bitcoin is not dead, bitcoin give chance to other currencies to go up Bitcoin drops to reach the highest price of all time, just wait and watch

[patt0]

Do you think the Lightning Network does have the chance to save Bitcoin even temporarily?

What do you mean temporarily? As soon as Bitcoin gets the Lightning Network up and running, it's death to bcash for good. Right now they are ahead because they know the only chance they got to try to succeed, is to go all in on the short term. They are planning to increase the blocksize again, they have a credit card, they got listed on coinbase, so everything is working fine for them. As soon as Bitcoin gets the LN, and it's scalability problems get solved, it's goodbye bcash, because it will no longer have any advantage over bitcoin, and it's short term strategy will no longer work.

[LogitechMouse]

I can't say that bitcoin is dead already however, with the problems of bitcoin like the high fees and the never to slow transaction many are considering it as dead. For me it isn't because I think bitcoin as a storage where we can put all of our digital currencies like a savings bank. In the past few days, we see bitcoin decreasing its value and its normal already but some of the investors of BTC maybe pulled out their investment and bought another coin like BCH or other alts.

[Mr.Smithers]

Why you think its dead? Its just a price drop, pretty normal in crypto world, If this you consider a dead then bitcoincash stays dead 99% of the year lol.

It is not only about the price of a coin. It is about the transaction speed, the confirmation time. People ask "why do you speak of the micropayments?". OK, let us not speak about micropayments. Do you think that transaction fee don't apply to people storing bitcoin? What if the price goes through the roof (or the floor if we are at that) and you want to quickly sell your assets and you CANNOT do that not doubling the amount in fees ?

[EmmaAllen]

But it will be increase very, very soon

[Advicerabi]

Calm down bitcoin is not dead, it is just temporary. And I think now it is good time to buy bitcoin.
Form the history of the bitcoin price, when price wall will surely follow with increases at the higher prices.

Bitcoin is still the king of all cryptocurrency.

I really would want to know if there is another definition for the 'Dead' because the way its being used concerning bitcoin makes it seems like just any other word with another type of meaning than what we know. BCH has witnessed its surge before when bitcoin retreated in price before going an all time high and now its happening again, I dont know what the fuse is about considering the surge in BCH can be largely due to the crediting of BCH by Coinbase.

Bitcoin is still very much alive as this is just a minor drop in price to have been enough to use the adjective 'Dead' in qualifying the current position. When the whole hype is over, we will then know which one is stronger than the other.

[SamReomo]

No, Bitcoin isn't dead, and it won't be dead anytime soon. It is the standard of the crypto industry with new updates and implementations every year. How can a coin which is a fork of the Bitcoin can kill its own master? It seems strange to me.
I know that the high fees and slow speed of the transactions are downgrading the mighty Bitcoin in the eyes of professional businesses, but those problems will be sort out very soon with the implementation of the Lightning Network.
BitcoinCash is also very good with some amazing features that could easily attract investors and businesses, but it wont be the vehicle to kill the Bitcoin. Bitcoin will rise back and will be used by everyone.

[Lucius]

Even with this big problem of scalability BTC is still keeps its value,and it is just having bad time in this moment.It would be very strange that BCH crew does not try to use this situation to say that BCH is new BTC,and we all know how it ended last time.

I do not know when LN will be available,news say it is in the final testing phase and that proved to be successful.That would be great solution for today problems,but how will miners&exchanges react on this since they only profit from high fees.We have SegWit enabled but almost nobody uses it,can a similar situation be repeated with Lightning Network?

[BumbleBeast27]

Why not look at this as another buying opportunity instead of just blindly saying that it's dead? For you to survive in this kind of business you at least need to know the basics of trading.

[gfalcon]

you do realise that when btc price drops it is seen to drop, mostly, against the usd (or whichever your residential fiat is, by which you track your investment) don't you?

the big fiats, like the usd, also fluctuate, which will affect the price of btc ...

it's normal

[farhan28]

Last 2-3 days bitcoin is remaining in the same position...It is decreasing day by day...I think bitcoin is reached its limit..its growth is over now...so Bitcoin is dead

[Kingofbitcoin12345]

Those who leave bitcoin and invest in bitcoin cash are the one who will feel the death and that is not an speculative thought but a real scenario that will soon happen in due time (a month or a year).. Trusting a new created crypto then abandoning the one you’ve trusted since then is a big mistake,, that will surely makes you regret at the time you’ll find out that you’ve been encourage to loss..

[Mr.Smithers]

I have read that even with Lightning Network you will have to pay the regular fee twice - to open and close the Lightning Network tunnel, so if you engage with the particular service provider with only one or two transactions, there is no difference than it is currently in terms of all total fees you pay or it can even be worse.

I am not sure if this is a correct understanding.

In general, there is not much known for sure when it comes to Lightning Network (as you noted, by the way).

[antuankek]

 BTC will grow, its not dead

[giveen]

Lol this might not be the reason for bch getting pumped. There is a new fork announced which goes with the same name as B2X some people might have misjudged this as the actual fork which got cancelled in the past.

Another reason could also be coinbase finally crediting it's users and getting listed on gdax. Btc fees is surely high but simply using bch can't be a solution.

[Dexion]

yes, I try to think critically against BCH and BTC, we know that BCH is a fraction of BTC. but today BCH is able to make everyone shocked. like going to kill BTC. does BCH rise because BTC down? I do not know it.
I am optimistic that if the year-end goes, BTC prices will rise again. we'll see, if the end of the year is gone, will BCH also rise?

[dejan_p]

not sure if the op was made due to a ~10% price drop but the thing about transaction fees/speed is (currently) true.
that's why i see both of them (forks and the main btc) succeeding at least short term.

so, don't panic too much, "enjoy" the ride, wait until the "storm" passes  - or, sell at $16k, rebuy at $18k  

[maimainguyen05]

I see your opinion is wrong, Bitcoin never dies, just the rate of decline instead of increasing as usual, which is the very normal phenomenon in the market cryptocurrency. The current time when the sharp drop in exchange rates is a great opportunity to invest in this potential currency. I believe that the next two weeks the exchange rates of the BTC as well as other currencies will rise sharply because Christmas is coming. So you should not have negative thoughts on the BTC so should try to buy BTC right now.

[Mr.Smithers]

Lol this might not be the reason for bch getting pumped. There is a new fork announced which goes with the same name as B2X some people might have misjudged this as the actual fork which got cancelled in the past.

Another reason could also be coinbase finally crediting it's users and getting listed on gdax. Btc fees is surely high but simply using bch can't be a solution.

well I thought it were the same fork, but with one particular change which is very important: they want to implement replay protection (original b2x was going boldly ahead without it). With the replay protection in place, catchy name (even if it is different people, as you say) and bitcoin network completely stuck for more than two weeks now, I predict they may be very successful...

[Noctis Connor]

Dead again/?? so how many lives bitcoin left? lmao, bitcoin is not a cat and bitcoin is not dead. It's just its decreasing because of the movement of the market. A lot of investors and miners move to bch. And also kiddy investors go with the flow of the trend that's why it is decreasing fast. For us it's a good news 'coz we have the opportunity to buy bitcoin again and wait for how many days and count our profit. lmao.

[dificanovi]

Today, Bitcoin is declared to be dead again as BitcoinCash is surging so high into the atmosphere as many people are expressing their complaints on Bitcoin's astronomical transaction fees and questionable speed.

bitcoin not yet dead, takes quite a long time to bitcoin off. although the number of bitcoin worldwide continues to decline. right now I will not say goodbye to bitcoin because bitcoin still exists.

[UAE Seasider]

Sensationalist headlines I guess you must work for a tabloid newspaper. I think Bitcoin is far from dead it is just taking a breather you will find the previous all time high is history in about 7 days time.

[jayram]

I think its just normal for bitcoin to drop since it has increased so much in the past month, this is just normal for any crypto or even in the stock market. The reason is that people who previously invested are taking their profits. I think this is a good opportunity for people to invest since bitcoin price drop is actually followed by a good rise which is based on bitcoin price history. Bitcoin is not dead, its alive and kicking.

[Tavarez]

not so sure, I draw these conclusions, first Btc goes ATH, then some alt coins, then Bch goes up while btc dips low, then it starts over again...all driven by whales and amplified FUD articles. Hodlers reamain calm and composed. Then a fork comes to shake things up again. All the while BTC getting more resilient...welcome to Crypto world.

[ehrz22]

Yeah, well-explained. This is all because of those whales who manipulated the price. This was already happened a while ago but btc finds its way to rise again, after this Im sure that btc will rise again more that ever before. Just hold and relax

[nguyenkhanhhung14]

Based on what you say Bitcoin dead again. I see that is not true at all. Cryptocurrency will be the future of the monetary industry, which may later have the crypto replace Bitcoin but in fact, it is possible to see that Bitcoin is currently the most valuable currency that can completely replace the offline currency. the present moment. The sudden drop of Bitcoin is a normal thing in the cryptocurrency world, and it will soon rise again within a few days.

[goaldigger]

Dead again? I think youre wrong again. As my observation on the volatility of the bitcoin price, it is normally dancing from between $15k to $17k and become different everyday. I think it is just normal. Lets just become more observant on its fast unstability and take advantage from it if possible.

[bitcoinman93]

How can you call it dead? Just ridiculous...

[ademily]

Bitcoin just down not dead any more. Don't be panic and sad. Now bitcoin is the most popular online currency in the world. Every currency is up and down in any time. So, i think bitcoin is back up to top. 

[wilhb81]

Bitcoin's once reached $20K ATH and right now, it's only a portion of retracement back to $15.5K level (if anyone here know about the "Fibonacci Price Projection", it's roughly about 23.6% of retracement, which is kind of "NORMAL" for such a huge move)

My conclusion - Bitcoin is not dying (at least for now  )

[chadtn]

As we can see it was fake information. Also we can see that this market still very speculative so try to make right choice and not panic sell or but

[Estrath]

While many people make fuss about death of btc, smarter ones make profit on this hassle.

Bitcoin is not dead and always not dead. This happens because I think, bitcoin cash are being manipulated by the whales. From the perspective of bitcoin, it is impossible to be drop dead that easily by a small FUD that are being thrown to it. Since the transaction are very traffic this past few days, I think this was a manipulated one. If some whales are providing so many small transaction that will affect bitcoin confirmations, I think its the bitcoin cash group was behind all this pumps.

[malibubaby]

The price drop is natural for the ATHof the bitcoin market, we see the correction now of the price and it will be stick to $16500-$17500. This is SEASONAL.

[bloodyvio]

Do not panic,
it could be the price correction because sometimes this bitcoin continuously surpass the highest price.

but it could be bitcoin dead again
because the number of the unconfirmed transaction becomes very high (more than 200,000).
people are starting to lose interest in bitcoin (due to the extremely high fees and length of confirmation time).

LOL. Why you guys think that Bitcoin can be dead or killed? The price of Bitcoin dumped just because the whales are trying to do it ). They sold all their Bitcoin at the highest price then they switch to invest in Bitcoin Cash and that make Bitcoin price dump a lot ). Bitcoin price just dumped from over 19k$ to under 18k$ that not mean Bitcoin is being dead, you just need to wait few more days, Bitcoin price will rise back soon

[Silenox]

The death of the month has arrived! Seize to buy more before he resurrects. Total manipulation of Jihan and his team to try a pump on the BCH.

[fulmetal08larz]

In my opinion, it's just a price drop and I see it as a Christmas Season Discount Sale for 3-5 days, so, do not miss the chance to buy and accumulate more of BTC. Although there are many flaws in early stages of BTC development, many investors are waiting for the price to dip just like what happened today and in the past.

[_noname_]

Today, Bitcoin is announced to be dead again as BitcoinCash is surging so high into the air the same number of individuals are communicating their grievances on Bitcoin's cosmic exchange expenses and faulty speed. There is a development at the present time in the market communicating a major daunt or disillusionment on Bitcoin as this isn't the Bitcoin that we should have. Bitcoin aficionados are perceiving this issue and trusting that soon the issue can be given satisfactory and adequate arrangements. Have you as of now said your farewell to Bitcoin and hi to BitcoinCash? Do you think the Lightning Network does have the opportunity to spare Bitcoin even incidentally?

[mOgliE]

Hi,

Sorry but no bitcoin is not dead. It is just a normal reaction from the market after a period of crazy increases.

Today, some people are selling/exchanging bitcoin for other crypto-currencies. No worries, it will rise again.

However, you are right, there are some things that should be dealt with if we want the bitcoin to last!

[Slow death]

Today, Bitcoin is declared to be dead again as BitcoinCash is surging so high into the atmosphere as many people are expressing their complaints on Bitcoin's astronomical transaction fees and questionable speed.

bitcoin is not dead and will not die, just see the price and how many people use it and the price of bitcoin cash is probably increasing because of this news " Coinbase Probes Insider Trading Allegations with Bitcoin Cash Launch "

Have you already said your goodbye to Bitcoin and hello to BitcoinCash?

I like bitcoin and i hold my bitcoin

Do you think the Lightning Network does have the chance to save Bitcoin even temporarily?

People are alive, always have a solution to some problem. the millions of years did not exist computers and social networks and today there are computers and social networks

[Siren]

Whenever there's a price dump, everyone says that bitcoin is dead. I think its normal that we need corrections along the way. We have seen this numerous times in the past, but then once it recovered, bitcoin price surges to another all-time-high. As for bitcoin cash, all alts have been, ETH, LTC and others. Bitcoin Cash is an alt so therefore its logical that it is the next alt to pump right now.

I agree though that the fees is the major reason why people can't really used Bitcoin as intended. LN should be implemented so that to at least alleviate the growing issues on high tx fees that we have been complaining in the past couple of years.

[scottykarate]

How can something be "dead AGAIN?" Lol!
Zombie Bitcoin!

[cdog]

it is unlikely that a parent coin will die from his son's coin. Just look after hardfork Bitcoin even more craze the price

[Hellcore]

Bitcoin has a high price value, it's normal that it will drop a lot(in $$ not in %), it doesn't mean it's dead. Move on.

[woffingshire]

I think you're haters of Bitcoin who doesn't have any Bit in your pocket and just want to give away as much hating as you can.

[chuckblocker]

How can something worth 17k be dead? It will be dead when it will be worthless. The only thing that is dead is the network processing power and the dicks of the jerkoff miners that cannot get confirmations happening for anything less then 50$ a head.

[Taskford]

There is no sense for you to just tell that bitcoin is dead again because to be infact, bitcoin is not a dead investment or cryptocurrency because it is all good because of the continuous support of people like me and other people that giving a great foundation for the market of bitcoin to not fall hard and lose a lot of money in the cryptocurrency market cap.

It does not make sense and it is impossible if Bitcoin to death just because BitcoinCash soars, I do not think Bitcoin will ever die. Bitcoin will die if the price is stable and if the internet network dies, and BitcoinCash will not exist without support from Bitcoin. About transaction fees in my opinion is very reasonable because follow the increase and decrease in bitcoin prices.

The very title of this post is ridiculous, bitcoin was never dead a first time and it's not dead now. How can something die twice? I accept bitcoin is less than ideal right now and hope LN can improve that, even just increasing block sizes right now would seem suitable but let's see what happens.

[cryptorusin]

HODL, guys! Dont let sharks outplay you. Golden rule, buy low sell high. Dont even dare sell at loss

[naufals4]

Bitcoin never dead, its because the demand of this coin really really high. yeah maybe you think the price of bitcoin drop right now its doesn't says its dead thats just normal in this cryptocurrency world. maybe the price will go higher again a few days later.

[illusioNiZt]

Every time the price of Bitcoin goes down a bit these threads show up to create even more panic, I am sure it will go back up soon but yes I agree with the transactions fees and time.

Bitcoin cannot die easily and if you see that the price was too high now
I see that Bitcoin cash was pump now. We know that it is hard to use the bitcoin because of its price so we need to find the new coin like bitcoin that can be experience like bitcoin before.

even we can go to the past to invest by bitcoin, we can create a new bitcoin to experience to go from the back year.

We also heard bitcoin first. so, bitcoin can be pump over than $40, 000 on next year if it not be died.

I also heard bitcoin on youtube then they advertise what is bitcoin.

[ronypro]

We can see the fib .38 is at almost 12k usd ,so if this goes on bitcoin can really drop to 12k and then we will see a major trend reversal.
I am actually happy i can buy bitcoin again in cheap...

[uslfd]

Yes BTC is dead again, better pull out all your money so new people could buy cheaper 

[poliy1219]

Not like this, it should be recovered in a few days. We have no doubt about the potential of BTC. BCH may be supported by some of the miners, but most people are not optimistic about the future of BCH. I think it can become a way to improve bitcoin, but it can't replace bitcoin's status.

[Getbdnews]

Dead means finish or seize. But the price of Bitcoin is little bit low, its a part of business. So Bitcoin is not dead anymore.

[pankowri]

I think that Bitcoin is never dead until the world destroy. Because,it it the mother of all crypto.It has good security system. It is profitable. For those,I want to say that Bitcoin is not dead again.

It is not worth writing such things sometimes. Sometimes you can mislead people. Everyone has their own mind and everyone should know when to stop investing. In my opinion, Bitcoin does not die at all but is still growing in strength.

[ahmadhidayat27]

It's too early to say goodbye to bitcoin. I think the phenomenon happens is still within reasonable limits. For now BitcoinCash is in the madness. Of course more and more day is paying attention to this coin. But for me bitcoin is still number 1 even though the current transaction cost is quite large.

[DrGuns4Hands]

Just because the price of the bitcoin dropped doesn't mean it's dead. The demand of the interest of people is still drastically increasing that's why i know the price will come back up again and continue to rise again.

[ICOgenius]

Why you think its dead? Its just a price drop, pretty normal in crypto world, If this you consider a dead then bitcoincash stays dead 99% of the year lol.

 Agree 100%.  Those who have been in crypto for any time know this is typical push down before huge rally.  Great oppertunity to get in.  Many will make mistake and follow the herd.  Oh well.  There loss is others benefit!  Making the CME investor pull out their hair.  They are not accustomed to such wild swings.  Love to see them now.  Panic, confusion etc...LOL

[WSDN]

Just because the price of the bitcoin dropped doesn't mean it's dead. The demand of the interest of people is still drastically increasing that's why i know the price will come back up again and continue to rise again.

Yes, I agree with you. This is just a adjustment of market when the investors sell their Bitcoin to get profit or they wanna shift to invest in BCH. Bitcoin is not dead. It will recover in 2018

[Getbdnews]

Why price fall is treated as a dead? Price drop is the sign to come forward for investment and keeping patience for existence investors.

[ManaMan]

I do not know whether BTC will die, but why DASH increased by 30%, who knows?

Many altcoins are raising it comes as a result of people wanting to earn quick buck, their understanding that they are late for bitcoin run but see opportunity in altcoins. Many people are comming in the cryptocurrency in hope of investments.

Dash is another altcoin, it is used by some merchants and services but in my opinion have lack of big community, one of the driving forces there is that their dev team or whatever they have money to do ads campaigns and organize some events etc so that they can spread the word about Dash.

Its always been their among top cryptocurrencies and in my opinion will continue to hold its place within first cryptocurrencies

[xhoondilan]

You can't say so easily that bitcoin is dead, if you say that then you don't know what bitcoin is, because for those someone who knows alot about bitcoin they know that bitcoin won't stay on its value, sometimes high and then suddenly drop low, its normal on bitcoin because thats how bitcoin works it depends on the demand on the bitcoin market will be the value pf bitcoin.

[moamin77]

Since I joined that 'crazy' Crypto world....I've read and heard that same message like thousand times for different reasons and it's never dead!
I agree with the OP, the transaction fees/times are currently insane but that will be cleared soon (I am sure) via LN or anything else

bitcoin will never die.
this is the moment that is inwaiting by some people.
to have it at a price that is currently declining.

[Baoo]

Honestly, It's wrong to say that bitcoin is dead, there's just a small fall in the price (in last 24 hour value decreased by 4%). Due to there are many transactions in blockchain and the majority of them are unconfirmed. Furthermore, the fee is very huge (more of $20).
In fact, Bitcoin cash has a crazy advance in the market cap and the price has become $ 3480.

Hi there iamTom123! As I observe the market, when the bitcoin fails or price drops all of the other altcoins including the famous bitcoin fork you are talking about steps in a higher new price. As I see it, it is not just one specific coin perform well during this time. Top coins out there are performing very well at the moment. I don’t think the lightning network could do a better job at this, but one factor that affect the price is the opening of the bitcoin future market by those big trading company. This problem I think is just temporary issue, and the price could sky rocket after several weeks.  

[Zuilhsa]

Bitcoin is showing high levels of volatility, those who believe strong in bitcoin can buy at this moment, I think it is the moment to buy as it is anticipated it will still grow higher in 2018. The recent pump in bitcoin cash can also be a reason for the price swings in bitcoin, this don't indicate that bitcoin is dead, anything going too fast can be stopped a while which doesn't mean that it has gone down, an opportunity is given for us, the thing is we have to utilize it.

[Handsome Boy]

do not worry it's just a minute, because bitcoin is very strong

[Lintel]

Why you think its dead? Its just a price drop, pretty normal in crypto world, If this you consider a dead then bitcoincash stays dead 99% of the year lol.

How can it be dead if only it drops the price a bit? Bitcoin is still number 1 and we know in the first place that bitcoin is in cryptocurrency world so meaning it is volatile. It may increase or decrease in value . But I think it will go back to its peak again and rise high compare to its highest price days ago. So don't think that it is dead it is very far from being dead.

[Sasuke102001]

Many in the past have said that bitcoin would die in the near future like when the price fell to like 3000 dollars from 5000 dollars, but Bitcoin value increased by a lot. Bitcoins recent high transaction fees and time for the transaction to be complete is really worrying many people to be the reason for bitcoins failure in the near future but maybe it gets solved in the near future. The growth in BCH's value is said to be a problem for bitcoin in the near future I don't know how much would that really affect Bitcoin prices. Conclusion: It is still to early just to say Bitcoin is dead again.

[skorms]

Bitcoin is very much alive and will always be.... let's make money

[iostreamhs]

It's just a price drop which has happened with Bitcoin before it will recover. It's not dead yet, but it can be in the future as many new fast and better technology as LN is coming, Bitcoin is replaceable but not dead yet.

[Shenzou]

Many times the bitcoin price have fallen and many times peopel were wrong about it, and many will regret switching to bitcoin cash, it is no suprise for us that the bitcoin has fallen a bit as it is the case every year, and this time it is no different, after the skyrocketing price growth that we have witnessed this year, i don't belive that any man that have a slight sense of mind would ever risk abandoning the bitcoin, may i need to remind you how much was the price mast year, and how it fallen down from 1100 to 700 and people started panic selling and after a month the price started climing again, and those same people were posting how stupid they were for selling it, no need to panic and make stupid decision that you will regret it in the future, bitcoin is always going to be the king of the cryptocurrency and the price is always going to keep going up no matter how others try to be like it they will never reach its level.

[SakinaPrincess]

There is no DEAD phase for bitcoin, corrections are needed for better price returns. Watch this and I think we will end in a higher price next month. This happened many times before in bitcoin.

[buwaytress]

Not sure why anyone would think this is a crisis. A correction has been long, long overdue. The bull was supposed to take a rest a long, long way back but it just kept on going. What's abnormal really is that this has taken so long, and the dip isn't as sharp as it could have been. When it goes up 100% and comes down only 25%, what does it say about Bitcoin? When insider trading on Bitcoin Cash, combined with the double whammy of future shorting and increasing regulatory pressure, all can only do this "damage" to the price, and when its direct adversary of BCH celebrates reaching barely 20% of Bitcoin price... this says volumes about the resilience of the world's most used, most recognised cryptocurrency.

My only regret now is that I received significant payments just days ago on jobs I did a while back. I don't buy Bitcoin so much as earn them, so I'd loved to have earned on this dip. I'm envious of anyone who has the chance to buy now.

[cl37007]

The key word you put down is 'again' it obviously wasn't actually dead the first time it died and it isn't dead now. It seems people flip flop between BCash and Bitcoin. Everything is still measured against Satoshi on so many exchanges it would be a pretty massive step for it to die

[Shaibana]

This type of confrontation is what brings improvements to the coin, they must solve the txn fees and speed to remain competitive, then tackle the next obstacle. But btc is far form being dead

[Jerusareth]

With the price is going down then you can tell that Bitcoin is dying? what the heck, what was the price of Bitcoin before? $1,000, $2,000, $4,000, $5,000, then its goes back to less than $3,000 so when it reached that point does Bitcoin died? I don't think so because the price of it as of the moment is $15,000 do it look like dead?

[maulana rifai]

Its down to 15K now, whats going on to the bitcoin? I am little worried now.

indeed the fear is in the heart of every human being. worrying about making the mind panic. so hear the news that bitcoin will die. do not worry about staying calm. because the price of bitcoin up or down is not stable.

[Md Faysal]

Bitcoin is not dead. It is just a price drop but I know it will rise again. Bitcoin is still alive not dead as long as there is always a lot of demand it will continue to do in online market. I think you should buy it now.

[btcprospecter]

Bitcoin is very far from dead. If anything invest in bch as well. With bitcoin value falling it is a good idea to buy more in the last month alone it has made serious gains.

[rickyleatham]

that is funny, bitcoin cash can not easily destroy bitcoin for a verly long time from now, rightnow not much people put their trust on bitcoin cash because they think bitcoin cash is just a way to pump and dump, meanwhile bitcoin is well known and trusted by all investors around the world.

[arlinxoha]

I think Bitcoin did not die. Because Bitcoin can never die. Bitcoin has dropped down, but after a while its price will increase again. Because the Bitcoin market depends on the needs of the people. So it does not matter if its price drops because Bitcoin will never die. It has a bright future.

[S.Sandberg]

we are indeed on a trend reversal, and there are also a few corrections, but the whole bitcoin thing is indeed far from dead. bitcoin "not being at extreme prices" doesn't mean "not functional" or anything.

its currently in the top 20 of all currencies in the world.

my guess is the next 2018 lowest price might be in the 1k to 5k range. and an average-low price of 7k.

nothing to fear.

[sopromat]

We have seen this kind of movement on the price a lot of times during this year, are you really surprised about seeing a bearish trend? This is not new guys, just be patient, the price will clearly go up in a few days or weeks.
15000$ is still high enough compared to last month prices.

[kleinkrypto]

Today, Bitcoin is declared to be dead again as BitcoinCash is surging so high into the atmosphere as many people are expressing their complaints on Bitcoin's astronomical transaction fees and questionable speed.

Right now i sent 1.0 BTC from my electrum wallet to binance exchange. It took 35 minutes and costs 40$... Its not the fastest and cheapest way, but its by far not that bad you all are telling

[mayidid]

I think it was a healthy pull back. The price sometimes goes too high too fast and will then show a correction. This correction is very minor and there not any recent bad news about Bitcoin, so I think this is normal. The price dropped close to $16.000 and then increased, but it’s possible it will drop back down. I would not be surprised if the price went below $16.000 at some point and even below $15.000 is easily possible. I just look at those drops as buying opportunities.

[sobriket]

Stop saying that it is dead guys. We have seen this kind of movements a lot of times before, and yes, it was needed, i dont know why you all are panicking like if you have never seen a pullback before.
Just stop crying and see how the market reacts on a few days.
It i still too early to say that bitcoin is dying..

[Webberson]

For the fact that the price/value of bitcoin is going down, does not bring about the death of the currency, it is a normal occurence. The price of bitcoin was never going to be always an upward movement, it is also expected to have a drop sometimes. The occurrence that happened to the currency years back, should not be used to judge its present state, as there is a difference in terms of acceptance and other factors.

[YouKnowMe]

Dead AGAIN?
When does Bitcoin died?
Bitcoin will always find its way around. Though the price is dumping a lot today there's nothing to be worried about, its the perfect time to buy BTC. Earn some BTC for yourself today and enjoy the returns in a few days!

[marcuslong]

Bitcoin is the best and ever be dead bitclin is accurate whichbmean if you choose bitcoin accept the fact that you will risk high bitocin is all about the money making that you don't need to risk because unvestment is already good for usb which is good in trading too i donMt mind the investment which trading is all inwant the ico snd investmentz

Wow, why dont you just relax your fingers for a few hours, would be good for you and us.

[Cryptalking]

Bitcoin is dead, thats what they told me just a couple of months ago when the price was around a (then high price) of €3,200 (Euros) but my spider sence told me to jump in (yes just a couple of month ago i jumped in for the first time). After my jump the price more then dubblecatroupled four times no but for real this is jump one other drop. buy more!

[appiivenkii]

Ya it keeps on dying and get reborn from the ashes ..and every time it does that it does ATH

[Ckjnow]

Bitcoin has already died 217 times  

https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/

[Washball]

Another price drop after incredible price increase. Nothing else than just a normal reaction. Bitcoin is not dead, just because Bitcoin cash is rising does not mean it's over. The price of Bitcoin cash is just being manipulated, it's being pumped.
Bitcoins price will fall a little bit more, time to buy again. Next year the price will increase again, maybe over 20K.

[VIDEOsecure2]

Nothing happens to think that bitcoin is dead. You just wait and will see the real matter.

[Pain Packer]

Fluctuation in price is normal epscially in bitcoin. So it is not dead. And I smell some advertising about bitcoincash here.

[lukmankhan25]

I think bitcoin is not dead, and is it just because the bitcoin feena will die, I think not. because the name bitcoin has been very popular among big businessmen. if replaced could possibly happen.

[darkangel11]

Have you already said your goodbye to Bitcoin and hello to BitcoinCash? Do you think the Lightning Network does have the chance to save Bitcoin even temporarily?

Got nothing better to do than trolling? Bitcoin is having temporary problems due to transaction fees being pumped to the moon by some impatient people. I have been sending transactions just 2 days ago with a fee that was 6 times lower than it is now and they were going through lightning fast, but if you keep bidding up you will potentially be doing it endlessly, until you reach some crazy prices lik $500 per transaction and somebody finally decides enough is enough.

[amih]

bitcoin does not die price drop on the bitcoin it is normal but in the end bitcoin will rise again as investors will again save their money in a bitcoin investment.

[Swoshinima]

"Bitcoin Is DEAD Again!!" (Again?  )

Lets see in 2-4 weeks time. BCash may also increase it's value since then, but bitcoin will be very strong again and it will always be the number 1.

[secondgarlic]

Take a look at the monthly trend. Just at the beginning of the month we were talking about whether $10K would be reached within 2017, and we have even hit $20K before the year is over. It's a glass half empty half full kind of situation. If you look at it like "it reached $20K but now it's $15K", then OK, the price is falling. But if you look at the historic trend, even this significant fall is not a crash.

[katmalo.ak47]

"Bitcoin Is DEAD Again!!" (Again?  )

Lets see in 2-4 weeks time. BCash may also increase it's value since then, but bitcoin will be very strong again and it will always be the number 1.

It can never be happened, because bitcoin has a large number of its user in the world . If you consider the fall in the value of the bitcoin is dead then you are thinking wrong. The fall in the value of the bitcoin is not dead, it is the chance for the user of the bitcoin to get high profit with bitcoin invest because the value will rise soon and it will hit 20k $ value in the last days of the 2017.

When bitcoin price increases - people says its a "Bubble"
When bitcoin price decreases a little - people says its a "Correction"
When bitcoin price decreases more than LITTLE - people says its "Dead"

IMO when bitcoin dies every coin dies - bitcoin is the mother of all coin.

I like and trust in bitcoin it's most profitable currency ever I seen.It's just a fall, not death, I think you should need some study about bitcoin like price chart historical data etc etc 

[Infek]

I want to know when the price stops falling, or on what price it will stop. In my opinion it will go around 13.000
Any ideas?

[Itjoker]

Bitcoin is not dead. Whales just cashing out before Christmas holidays and it is normal situation. You also can do the same or just wait for winter rise of cryptomarket. In my opinion Bitcoin will correct till 12K$.

[screwUdriver]

bitcoin does not die price drop on the bitcoin it is normal but in the end bitcoin will rise again as investors will again save their money in a bitcoin investment.

In addition, there is a great fluctuation in the value of a bitcoin, depending on what is happening on the world markets. Uncertainty has so much influence that even a single news can lead to a change in the course.So that the bitcoin is not dead

[FrenchBTC]

Another death for BTC !...Lol

[Tak2020]

Another death for BTC !...Lol

No this time if different , this days so many coins. Soon 6 more forks is coming to this funny carrancy "market"
Super Bitcoin (SBTC),  Bitcoin Platinum (BTP),
Lightning Bitcoin (LBTC),  Bitcoin God (GOD)
Bitcoin Uranium (BUM), Bitcoin Cash Plus (BCP),
Bitcoin Silver (BTCS)

[CyberR.]

Today's drop in price is probably because people are cashing out their bitcoins before Christmas and New Year to celebrate the Holiday Season, thus according to me the best time to buy bitcoins for new investors should be somewhere between 24-31st December.

I am very confident that Bitcoin will touch 13.5k$ Mark before New Year.

Also, Bitcoin is up almost 2,000% in the past year. This is an unheard of growth rate that even the most volatile of traditional investments don’t reach. Maybe in 5 years, but one year? This is something that doesn’t happen everyday.

So say Bitcoin goes up another 2,000% next year. Then each bitcoin will be worth around $320,000(assuming a current price of around $16,000 per bitcoin).

With each Bitcoin being worth $320,000 Bitcoin would have a total Market Capitalization of over $5,120,000,000,000. Yes that is 5.1 trillion US dollars. You would essentially need a large portion of the money in the world, across all countries, invested in bitcoin in order to achieve these kinds of numbers.

Bitcoin is essentially about to reach its Pinnacle. So yeah, Bitcoin is about to be Dead, not now but in a year or two.

Whenever a price drop takes place people get into a panic state terming it to be the days of bitcoin's death. In reality this is the wrong understanding and people who believe in its survival gets benefited. Maybe the current reason might be the upcoming fork, but such a fork too doesn't have the potential to make it bow down.

[Sadnu]

Bitcoin is, in fact, far further from death than it was all the (many) other times its demise was gleefully, and wrongfully, proclaimed. (Hearn’s central argument boils down to: “Bitcoin is failing because it has grown too popular!

[nick_nick]

Today, Bitcoin is declared to be dead again as BitcoinCash is surging so high into the atmosphere as many people are expressing their complaints on Bitcoin's astronomical transaction fees and questionable speed. There is a movement right now in the market expressing a big dismay or disappointment on Bitcoin as this is not the Bitcoin that we are supposed to have. Bitcoin enthusiasts are recognizing this problem and hoping that soon the problem can be given adequate and acceptable solutions. Have you already said your goodbye to Bitcoin and hello to BitcoinCash? Do you think the Lightning Network does have the chance to save Bitcoin even temporarily?

Price rise and falls are the normal things to expect as an investor in the crypto market. The fact that Bitcoin price has drop does not mean it is dead, trust me bitcoin would rise in no time

[jak3]

Of course Bitcoin network is dead but have you seen the price it has crossed $15,000 and I think Bitcoin cash has not cross that mark till now but it surely has the potential if the majority of population considered that as important. On the other hand if you look at the small price drop today then that's a small location that is common in the market we have seen even large crash in the bitcoin history such as Mtgox exchange crash and so on.

[ahmadakbari]

Today's drop in price is probably because people are cashing out their bitcoins before Christmas and New Year to celebrate the Holiday Season, thus according to me the best time to buy bitcoins for new investors should be somewhere between 24-31st December.

I am very confident that Bitcoin will touch 13.5k$ Mark before New Year.

Also, Bitcoin is up almost 2,000% in the past year. This is an unheard of growth rate that even the most volatile of traditional investments don’t reach. Maybe in 5 years, but one year? This is something that doesn’t happen everyday.

So say Bitcoin goes up another 2,000% next year. Then each bitcoin will be worth around $320,000(assuming a current price of around $16,000 per bitcoin).

With each Bitcoin being worth $320,000 Bitcoin would have a total Market Capitalization of over $5,120,000,000,000. Yes that is 5.1 trillion US dollars. You would essentially need a large portion of the money in the world, across all countries, invested in bitcoin in order to achieve these kinds of numbers.

Bitcoin is essentially about to reach its Pinnacle. So yeah, Bitcoin is about to be Dead, not now but in a year or two.

Yes. You are right. Bitcoin value has risen very much. Why do you think it's a bad sign? This price rise is a sign of its popularity not its dead.
Now now the price is being corrected and everything will go back to normal soon.

True! bitcoin has been going up and down ever since but that doesn't mean its dying. Bitcoin's market is known to be volatile and it is part of its process of growth but we all know that bitcoin's price is far from its peak so I don't think it would die anytime soon.

Exactly there has to be pull back. Nothing can just go straight forward and reach new ATH without falling. This is what bitcoin has been doing from the moment I started to read about it. Every single time it climbs even the fall from 2013 it climbed more and it will continue to do so in order to get to the part where its price is somewhat stable but that's long road ahead. It's not going to be easy but we will survive out of this ;P

[kallen02]

Currently the pricing of bitcoin is not continiously going up but rather falling from time to time. But it's too early to say that bitcoin is dead again, be optimistic guys, this is the time to buy bitcoin and be ready rise again. For those who think its dead, your all wrong, definitely wrong.

[Clos Belmont ICO]

Hope it will rise again!

[ericmalik]

Just because the price of the bitcoin dropped doesn't mean it's dead.
I think it's time to buy it.

Bitcoin is not dead. Whales just cashing out before Christmas holidays and it is normal situation. You also can do the same or just wait for winter rise of cryptomarket. In my opinion Bitcoin will correct till 12K$.

I would rather say ordinary people were/are caching out, maybe those same who joined the market in last months, and companies, pro traders. But I doubt it is just that.

Lot of new guys are neither tech versed nor traders. Many entered because of repeating news about BTC success, helped by their bad situation or greed. Some persuaded by friends or family. People not really willing to risk, and without resources to invest. They 'gamble' little what they have and react nervously to each move. I know guy who sold everything he had first time when he noticed 'bigger' move like from 11k peak to ~10k.

Anyway what would I like to know is why is this first year where 'caching out' is so obvious? Of course before something like this wasn't possible to this extent, but again not to be measurable at all?

[Phantomberry]

Don't worry about it bitcoin will surely comeback because it is winter break some investor sell their bitcoin or buy other alts like BCC.

[kmlkkl]

Bitcoin showed us what he could do in the past. These reactions are normal but need to be trusted. It will be troublesome in this process but it will break your own record every time. The prevention of development will surely be accepted one day. If we go back and look at the past, these situations have always been and have broken their own records each time.

[Walrus1]

I'm getting back in to test the waters. Putting in a few hundred here and there. Already up but I'm watching it for a while

[MkGregor]

Bitcoincash is the same Bitcoin, I see absolutely no incentive to switch, apart from benefiting a small circle of people

[zentdex]

As I watch the market, when the bitcoin falls flat or value drops the greater part of alternate altcoins including the acclaimed bitcoin fork you are discussing ventures in a higher new cost. As I see it, it isn't only one particular coin perform well amid this time. Top coins out there are performing extremely well right now. I don't think the lightning system could complete a superior employment at this, however one factor that influence the cost is the opening of the bitcoin future market by those huge exchanging organization. This issue I believe is simply impermanent issue, and the cost could soar following a little while.
