Bitcoins do not have value as a physical commodity like gold and are not widely accepted as legal tender like dollars.

 Rather, Bitcoin appears to have value for the following reasons: It is popular.

In short, people accept and trade in Bitcoin because other people accept and trade in Bitcoin.
what have you mentioned wasnt needed a bright full technology to adopt,gold and fiats is physical but yet need no good technology to maintain,but bitcoin does..this coins and together with all the coins was created for high breeding technology thats the interface is future.no wonder in 2030 you will finally realize what are you talking now

I do not think that everything is as simple as you wrote. The cost of bitcoins depends not only on these factors, supply and demand, the price can artificially rise and fall.

Bitcoin is very much appreciated by the public, as demonstrated by the high value of Bitcoin in 2017, compared to other currencies and even by Bitcoin. Knowing that there is no foundation forever, but to see the potential of Bitcoin we must have confidence, but investors also have more choices in other currencies but I still choose Bitcoin.

How does a bitcoin have any value? Well because bitcoin is a decentralized cryptocurrency that is useful to everyone and any country around the world, bitcoin is a digital currency that has a value like fiat money and gold, but bitcoin has more potential value than gold and fiat because of its decentralized platform that can be swapped instantly all over the world. Furthermore bitcoin is anonymous and transparent and it has a low transaction fees.

Bitcoin does not have its value because payments usually transact through in internet transaction. Most people accept currency as a payment and then trade to bitcoin.It is a wise and smart think because bitcoin has a capabilities to earn good money and also it has a possibility that your money grow. This kind of currencies which is bitcoin has a lot of potentials and continue growing your money.

Trading BTC in the market following the law of supply and demand is what determines the price of BTC. However, the costs in mining is also what makes BTC become expensive. The people gives BTC value because it was created for the people to enjoy their freedom for their wealth. It is a revolutionary advancement in technology which is different from the traditional investment vehicles we are aware of.

Yeah I think you're wrong, bitcoin has good technology and innovation many people are interested in using bitcoin not just because bitcoin are popular, but bitcoin has interesting things like a decentralized and anonymous currency, you can send money easily without intermediaries and so forth, that's what makes bitcoin valuable even if it has no physical shape, exactly I think more forward the digital-shaped will be increasingly in demand?

Now tell me what are the usage of that certain bright stone you called gold.  Grin
People tend to make something valuable when they are shining and that is all it is.
They picked gold because it is harder to find and that makes it valuable.

Now about bitcoin. It had value because of its usage. I get fast transactions now by sending money at a lower price than but large amount of sums.
It is better than a gold which is just so hard and heavy.  Grin

The amount of demand and supply of the Bitcoin determine the value of the coin at any point in time.

This is the main reason which I really think price of bitcoin has a value. The demand which people continues in buying and has the support in bitcoin. Until now it is unstable because of the demand from the user itself.

For me Bitcoin is created because of technology. It is like gold where you can exchange it to fiat. That is the same with Bitcoin. Its value can also be exchange in fiat. Good thing about Bitcoin is, this not controlled by government Bitcoin is controlled by us as user of Bitcoin.

Everything has its value. As long as the recognized people are more valuable.

An antique, for example, is not really useful, but it is often valuable because there are many people who approve of it.

The same is true of bitcoins, which are now accepted by many people.


Yeah, the example you gave like antique is physical, it can be seen. . . Also with gold and other precious metals in contrary to bitcoin which is just digital currency. You cannot see it nor hold it with your hand.

Yeah bitcoin is created because of technology but the real purpose of it is not beneficial anymore, transaction charges are very high. For example when you transfer 100 dollars it will cost you  around 10 dollars. And by the way bitcoin now adays is regulated by some government in some countries.

Can you think how did the US dollar got its value? How did our currency now got its value? Whatever your answer is the same with bitcoin. Bitcoin has been created to make a peer-to-peer transaction without the use of third party services. People trusted bitcoin like they trusted the fiat money that is why bitcoin got its high price now. TRUST is the answer why they got value.

It is not simple to understand how a currency worth is it is managed through a proper strong system and thus after the initial coin offering the interest of the public and the people trust this for the future make the currency value for life time. For the first time it is not so hard to know the currency future but this happen sometime that the bad news have brought some panic in the market for which the market disturb for little time period.
