If you knew Bitcoin would never change in value, would you buy it?

[mkettler]

I personally wouldn’t but I can see why bigger corporates would since it’s then like a security of 100% guarantee it wont fall in price and have a fixed value

[BlackRacerX]

If it were guaranteed that the price of bitcoin would stay the same as it is today, would you still buy it?  My guess is, the answer is no. But if its value lies in being a currency, price stability is essential. And if your answer is no, how is it then not just a Ponzi scheme? In other words, everyone is buying it on the hope of someone paying more for it in the future, not to use it as a currency.

I would stop buying. If the price would not even go up, then bitcoins would not be a sustainable kind of invesment. With the price remaining at a stagnant state, no one would even invest or buy bitcoins anymore. I think some supporters would buy just because of its features alone this time around.

Yes. It's a currency therefore i can buy and spend BTC knowing the value won't drop. I can use BTC when going abroad thus bypassing the need to use foreign exchange companies. Not everyone is an idiot like you who buy and hope to sell higher and make a quick profit in fiat terms. Fiat is constantly inflated and worth less over time.

I’ll probably still buy as it’ll let me buy the alts which vary in value, its not like every is trying to only HODL BITCOIN at the end of the day other alts too aren’t that bad

[endlings]

I think I will hold a few, after all, bitcoin technology may become important in the future.

[rontme]

I think this question is meaningless. If the price of bitcoin is never changed, it is better to keep the money in the bank.

[Sunyoto]

I do not know all that. I know the bitcoin price is always increasing so we always get pretty good results, look at the current price bitcoin with a relatively low price is your opportunity to earn a pretty good income. Because in next month look at bitcoin prices will be higher than this time. So this is very good for  you.

[removebeforeflight]

Probably I would say, I won't buy bitcoin or any form of currency or investment if the price doesn't rise. Everyone would like to have some profit for their investment and I'm also one among them. However, bitcoin is like gold and the price would never be fixed in a certain limit, it would raise day by day as like gold. If you see other scenario, if bitcoin is accepted for transactions everywhere I would buy to make transaction beyond boundaries.

If bitcoin does not grow, why buy it? Do not invest bitcoin want to profit? So if you know Bitcoin is stable and not growing, I will choose not to buy it.

No, i would rather not buy. Whats the point of buying if it wont grow. Who would want to invest in something that the value does not rise?

[johnson4218]

It's not a Ponzi model, there's no money to pay for the previous one. It's just an investment. If the bitcoin value does not change. I still want to invest in bitcoin

[bryant.coleman]

First tell me how you are going to measure the value of Bitcoin. Are you going to measure it versus fiat currency such as the United States Dollar? If you do that, then you may not be 100% accurate. Because the value of the USD is also not stable. It's value declines every year.

[caaaaaaaattleah]

Bitcoin volatility is what investors get interested into it. If bitcoin has stable price I wouldn't buy it. The idea of investing is the risk that you will take. Believe that your investment will grow and do not stay as it is. If you buy a bitcoin with stable price and not grow the investment is nonsense.

[fatema]

Many users are interested in buying cryptocurrency due to the fact that the price of bitcoin is volatile. They thought that the value of Bitcoin would be like a golden deer. Although there is a stable price of Bitcoin. Yet many investors will be hesitant to buy it. Their ideas are suspected in digital currency.

[fulmetal08larz]

The technology behind BTC is a revolution in the way we transact with money. It has the potential to become the digital currency of the future, hassle-free transactions with a click of a button, ability to send money across different countries without exchanging to foreign currencies, no hidden charges and fees, and being able to create an account/wallet without falling in line, etc. If it still offers the same features, It's a big YES for me.

[jona]

Not everyone pay bitcoin for a profit purpose,some buy  it for a business transactions,such as bill payment  but if bitcoin is used as currency worldwide there will be need to still buy

[drukoz2]

Most likely, I wouldn't have to buy the bitcoin in this case. Lost would be the idea of earnings. And as a cryptocurrency, we can not yet use bitcoin.

[Doge dealer]

its being pushed from that perspective by the people who want to destroy it , and they seem to have been making great strides in getting this idea that you buy it to sell back at a premium and that is all its good for  . even in the investment world  you know your not gonna recoup your entire investment over night its gonna take time , but its now become the norm for people to only see it as a buy n sell item because this is how its being pushed , this is why we need someone , something with the responsibility for marketing the true bitcoin , getting the correct information to the public and not what someone wants us to think.

I'm sure that a significant part of people invest in bitcoin in the hope of making a profit by increasing its value. If they knew that bitcoin would not grow in price, they would not be buying it. Now it is still difficult to judge what will happen next with bitcoin, because as a payment system it does not show its simplicity and reliability in use. Bitcoin does not yet have a developed infrastructure, and therefore these two factors greatly influence the fact that it spreads very slowly throughout the world.

[plaintiff77]

No because at the moment price is not good yet. When times comes that price is good then that would be the perfect time to buy bitcoin. It wont happen that price will be stable. It tests our patience and economic strategy in order to gain bigger profits on good decisions we are going to make.
