Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?!

[Btcvilla]

If Bitcoin goes up 10%, people are full of joy and are happy, if Bitcoin goes down 10% Bitcoin is dead and Bitcoin is useless.

[vrm86]

Price fluctuations are capturing people's imagination, therefore they can't see more important thing: bitcoin's level of adaptation, which remains on steady growth. That is the determinative factor of Bitcoins (and any other crypto) status.

True story. But most of them don't realize the success if not behind the price. Price just means that more people are buying

Price is everything. It greatly impact on miners. I believe most people say bitcoin is dead is actually referring to mining is dead!!

Naw price is not everything, because perceived price is not really objective value. Bitcoin right now is much higher than 300 and time will prove this fact right.

[MrDjAK]

Because they have sold btc

No. bitcoin's price is not everything. We can say that the price deals a large impact on the majority of the users, but still it is not the only reason why users flocked in to the bitcoin community and started using the coin.

I think its because people do not want to take responsibility for their actions that led to a loss and they rather blame the coin itself that it is dead and there is nothing they could do about that so they lost their investment. And yes - most people come here to invest, speculate or hold and not to use it everyday

Because it is dead by design.

[BrianM]

Because people do not understand the true value of bitcoin.
All people talk about is Exchange rate, confirmation time, scams and so on.
All fail to see the true value.

Yes, I will tell it:
The true value is in the blockchain, this is perhaps the biggest invention since the Internet it self.
This is the first time in human history anybody was able to create a decentralized consensus system.


Good example ignorance is in this comment, completely failure in understanding what bitcoin is:

Because it is dead by design.

[Meuh6879]

Because it is dead by design.

Because even people don't see the inflation.
They have seen the depreciate EUR value over USD ? ... No ! They are crazy ! 

But not the holder of bitcoins ... 

[V for Varoufakis]

And the solution to inflation is the deflation? You need to study some economics.

[aso118]

And the solution to inflation is the deflation? You need to study some economics.

Inflation can be defined as either rate of increase in prices or rate of increase in money supply.
The rate of increase of bitcoins in circulations is fixed and known in advance. This is one of the biggest advantages of Bitcoin.
It is definitely not a deflating currency in this stage of its life cycle.

[solitude]

Complete list of people who say Bitcoin is dead:

1. kikes
2. banksters
3. paid shills of the status quo
4. nocoiners
5. people who sold their bitcoins
6. retards too dumb to understand bitcoin
7. Janet Yellen and Ben Lawsy and especially their kike noses
8. Any kike writing clickbait online bullshit
9. Did I mention jewish people who control the Federal Reserve and the US economy?
10. Moderators on every forum on the internet with no hope to get laid, including bitcointalk.org

[dzambodzetem]

In my opinion it is to early to say if BTC is dying or will it live for the next 20 years or so. For one thing there is no government to guarantee bitcoin stability. Also many people do not trust any kind of virtual currency.

[V for Varoufakis]

Money supply should be depended by some factors of economy, like velocity of money, price level, amount of good and services or the value of aggregate transactions. So a fixed supply is totally wrong. You need an equation to calculate it.

The supply of bitcoins is constant. The variable is the value of bitcoin.
You do have an equation.

Thats why bitcoin creates deflation. In an ideal economy there is no inflation or deflation. Balance is the solution. Please, read some economics. Also read this:

Deflation is good because it means you can buy more with the same amount of money.
