BTC is struggling. Many people are bullish that it will be strong in 2018.
For those who think that, why do you think that is the case when fees are so high and send times so slow?

What is this - concern trolling?
Bitcoin will go up - and it will go down. There are several reasons, check out google for some of the things it can do. This is the year of lightning network - and a ton of alt coins and ICO's / SEC etc.
Strap in.

We cannot predict if bitcoin will rise or not. Right now the demand for bitcoin is not that much, especially since the new year and christmas. People have spent most their money and have sold their bitcoins to buy presents/ pay bills etc. However, in a few months it should rise, but im not so sure. More people are looking into alt currency and cheaper icos.

Bitcoin right now is not really a mean of transactions or any small trades . It's just like gold you can't carry tons of it by yourself you need a big truck if you are going to move it . You can't buy with it directly . Yet it's still worth so much .It's the same thing for bitcoin it's the base of cryptocurrencies and people are trading with it other crypto not trading it.

If bad news happens, with the loss of dominance of bitcoin, we could see it below $ 8k and potentially people would lose confidence

Because more people have confidence and know about Bitcoin than they do Ethereum and Ripple. Because of this people will buy Bitcoin first and then diversify. Also considering all or most alts are paired with BTC it naturally brings in demand.

Fees seems to be low for now, try to check it out again and I guess bitcoin's ready to rise again. People who get out of bitcoin are the ones who are sick of paying high miners fee but once they have seen the fee is starting to neutralize then it will be the countdown for bitcoin's new milestone for this year. It's still early to say that it will rise but that is expecting for bitcoin every year.

As I see it, I think if there was like one country on planet earth, and if that one country had one money, then that would be not so good for bitcoin.
As it is, there are something like 200 countries, with 200 different governments, with all sorts of different monies floating around in various health and well being. IMHO, things are less likely to go smoothly in all the 200 countries, by all the 200 governments, with all the different monies, all the time. Therefore, the chances of bitcoin finding use in the second scenario is better than the one country/one money scenario.

What do you mean struggling? Bitcoin is above $10k. The price for me is really strong. Maybe you are used to seeing bitcoin having a massive bull run specially in the first or second week of December. Bitcoin is based on speculation so I doubt that we are going to see it like have a smooth sailing or something. I think we can put the Lightning Network as a good case to see what it will bring to the market. Testing is done and its successful are per reported. If people are swaying on bitcoin because of the high fees and slow confirmations then maybe when Lightning Network is implemented and the issues is resolved, then it will again gain traction from the community and the price could go up once more. But we have to wait when LN is going to be activated.

Struggling? The price is very stable right now, it touched less than 13 thousand dollars by today's morning and it is going up again, i dont see why we shouldn't be bullish. BTC is struggling. Many people are bullish that it will be strong in 2018.
It is obvious that it is going to increase in some time, but the fees aren't high right now, well they are pretty expensive compared to last year's fees ($3 in october) but they are lower than what they were one week ago. For those who think that, why do you think that is the case when fees are so high and send times so slow?
20 mins for a single confirmation with a fee of $15, it is enough for me.

The transaction fees for bitcoin is one of the reason why the price is dumped but now I see a sign of life with bitcoin now, yes the fees are getting lower and bitcoin slowly pumping. Bitcoin will rise again because its a great technology that we should support for.

Bitcoin Will rise again, and this is not a bullshit, the problem of Bitcoin now lies in the speed and the fee, I heard that the develops are preparing something to tackle this problem, and once that is done people will back to Bitcoin again, the reason is simple because Bitcoin already got a strong foundation and being used in a lot of store compare to other coin

Bitcoin will rise again because its a great technology that we should support for. It's dumped and many can't take it anymore to transact with bitcoin and pay higher fee than the amount they are about to send. This is the main cryptocurrency and it's the center and heart of the market so it will be pumped for sure. And if you stayed for so long for sure you are not going to miss any single chance of having a great pump for bitcoin.

Of course. In 2018, I'm sure Bitcoin will touch new ATH (highest price). And do not worry though the current price of Bitcoin is not stable and tend to go down. Because this is just the time until the price of Bitcoin back up.

As we know some bitcoiners concern about fee and slow transaction. They think bitcoin will be quick and low fee. But in fact, bitcoin is not quick and low fee. In this case, i am thinking will go down since of that problem. But the fact might be different. I am still support this bitcoin grow much more like before and can solve the problem
