Is bitcoin loses its popularity ?

[rxnlnbndl]

Not yet, maybe not to those net users boggling about bitcoin but for those who seek quick and reasonable money then it is popular for them.

[LudiAAA1]

Not yet, I dont think that market is fully matured. Bitcoin is also gateway cryptocurrency and everyone start with it.

[ibichito]

Yes, If I believe that it is losing popularity, that everything points to the spreaders going to finish breaking the bubble.

There are several reasons why bitcoin loses its popularity. First of all, these are the accumulated shortcomings in regard to long-term transactions and high commission fees. Because of this, bitcoin partially became unusable as a means of payment and some investors lost interest in it and switched to altcoyins. Another reason that bitcoin began to lose its popularity is that during December's sharp rise in price, bitcoin proved to be a financial bubble that grew in price only due to the growth of speculative demand for it. This showed that bitcoin can also start to be blown abruptly in price, just as it quickly grew in value.

Presently, it is actually the opposite as BTC is gaining more attention from different sectors of society. Although some Governments are trying to criticize it, this still leads to publicity (good or bad publicity is still publicity), so it is even more popular now than it was yesterday.

Yeah you are absolutely right bitcoin is gaining more and more popularity as time spends and there are many people who are saying that it is not popular now because of its prices downfall but remember one thing don’t go for the price see its future impact whole world is crazy about it people are investing their whole life savings into bitcoin and this thing is showing that people believe in bitcoin that it will rise and will change their days as it has changed others so stay calm and invest good time will come soon to bless.

Right now there are more coins available in the market which gives you more profit than bitcoin.
Bitcoin price is also not stable.
All these factors affect its popularity ??
What you think, still bitcoin is more popular ?

I do not think that the other coins might affect the popularity of bitcoin. Besides the recent price changes proved that prices of any other coins are in close relation with the bitcoin price and are depending on it.

[Coinlover9]

Well it's popularity is like a swinging pendulum.

[mc.craigsvictor]

I don't think so.I think it is more the fact that there aren't big dumps or pumps , it is staying at the same level more or less. People seem to lose interest fast that way, they are here for the quick money.But I am sure that bitcoin will recover again soon. Maybe in this year. I heard that what is happening now with bitcoin is normal and it will recover soon.

[Ozan9]

On the contrary, BitCoin is becoming more popular. Everyone around me is talking about BTC and everyone is aware that bitcoin will have a greatl future.

[doreraj]

As for me, profit that someone gets not really can say how this coin is popular or not..
Suppose each time when BTC moves down or stay on one place, many people start to think in this way...

[trauchot]

Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency at the moment, because it can be said simply by looking at cryptocurrency market and bitcoin cost itself. A lot of people started from bitcoin and still work with him because they know that in future bitcoin course will grow even more. Every day I see different news related to bitcoin, which means that bitcoin doesn`t lose attention and only gaining popularity.

I think it's not. Bitcoin is still the basis of all altcoins. Bitcoin is volatile and it's downfall of prices is still just a part of it. It won't lose it's popularity because of it's price drop. It is actually getting famous because people are starting to buy more and hold it. It attracts more investors this time.

[robesponja]

Sadly it's losing his utility, mostly because transaction fees

Newbie on cryptos is using ETH due his lower fees

[amzadabir]

Bitcoin has gained popularity in the world. According to me, Bitcoin is still popular. Bitcoin prices are not stable. Bitcoin prices rise. But Bitcoin prices are not always low. Many people have improved through bitcoin. All can use Bitcoin. There is no compulsion in it. Online Bitcoin can be easily achieved by investing. In my opinion, bitcoin is better than other coins.

No, bitcoin is not losing its popularity. Lets assume that bitcoin is just laying to its normal price because of the big increase of its price a month ago. Bitcoin is still popular today and everyone are start to knowing it.

[ace09]

For me it is not. Even if the price of Bitcoin now is still dropping. Why? Because there are so many people talking and waiting for its rise again.

In term of popularity btc still the king. And I think it will not ends on our generation. though ethereum and ripple trying to be in stage of btc but it cannot overthrow the btc as a king of cryptocurrency.

[Btcjunpitz18]

No, it will still remain the same because only bitcoin is the secure digital currency. My loyalty will still be in btc, no matter what the value is. What happened now, is part of changes. btc is already part of innovation and many people used to do btc online payments.

Yeah I think by most metrics bitcoin is continuing to rise in popularity both among computer scientist types and mainstream. This year I believe you will see far more acceptance of cryptocurrency across a number of industries.

It is sad but Bitcoin best years are over   Mainly because bitcoin became so congested and stopped developing itself while other currencies progressed.  It doesn't help also that only big miners can mine BTC and not average GPU/CPU users. This is not what Sathoshi wanted. Mining should be available for everyone.

And seeing as the blockchain's congestion and mining privilege, more alts are coming out to solve these problems. Take for example the ETN, their main target is mass adoption and introducing cryptocurrency in a simplest way. And many more alts will definitely come in the near future.

But now we have hard fork called Bitcoin Cash which is 8 times faster and much cheaper, which resembles Satoshi idea more closely. And many other altcoins to choose from.

I must say that some people say that they are considering BCH as the real BTC as its characteristics are based on Satoshi's whitepaper. And today, btc is being considered as the real btc only because it has the majority of the hashpower. Thus no matter what its name, bch is also considered as btc.

Yes because its built from bitcoin itself and it has the characteristic of bitcoin for sure.
Then bitcoincash can not take the bitcoin place, why? You said all of the advantage of bitcoin is in bitcoincash, it has the hashpower then why it can not do better than bitcoin?
