Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?!

[DeDordtenaar]

I think people keep on saying that btc is dead by looking at the price volatility and price fluctuations that it holds, as if price falls down, they start believing its an end of bitcoin and will not survive in future.

yeah beginning I joined in bitcoin. when there is a sharp decline that day. and many people are said to sell bitcoin. it make me scare and i said. This might be the end of bitcoin

These are the emotional traders who panic when the price drops. Even Stock market have those type of people plus there are people who are spreading FUD especially those who are supporting altcoins.

of course even though wholesalers, they would panic. because they have a great bitcoin. so that it can make them panic
but the different of newcomers. wholesalers is stil calm and not say that bitcoin will die

People will definitely only mention that Bitcoin is dead is because of continued low value rates. This will disappoint people all over the world for nowadays bitcoin has been all around for business and transaction. If bitcoins value will continue to fall this will be definitely dead..

This is maybe a old topic ? Bitcoin is not that and people say it because the value was low and they are very negative and that is not good.
It is now a little bit stable and that is very good. I hope later that more people will use Bitcoin and that it will be more used.

At first I thought the people who say Bitcoin is dead were just trolling. Then I realize there are newbies out there who buy Bitcoin and the price goes down. Sometimes I should look in the mirror and see weather or not I come off as an elitist considering my Senior Member status

I think that aren't newbies who are trolling, in my opinion are long time bitcoin users (could be senior or higher rank on this forum) that start a new account to troll about bitcoin. They want to buy bitcoins at lower prices, and they will write bad news about bitcoin to down its price.

Exactly. Finally someone that sees things as they are and makes sense. It's a strategy to lower the price.

Bitcoin will never die since it lives on the blockchain and even the banks can not copy that technology. So it is safe from their greedy little hands.
Just as long as it has that technology, then it won't be owned or destroyed by one lone entity.

Actually it could die. But not from being stolen. Sometimes I'm afraid that people would just stop using it and it would slowly fade.

[DeDordtenaar]

lately I have heard so many issues say that bitcoin will be something that is by no means due to the price drops, I guess that's not true, it will only cause panic to investors and beginners, making them restless and sell bitcoin has, while beginners will create issues that do not mean

I think it will not affect you if you are smart and believe in bitcoin. Now many users have already started to be patient and not panic. the issue is not a problem right now

this will not happen, simply because there is not competitor with bitcocin, there is nothign better at the moment that offer centralization and fukl control over your money and also is vastly used(so no other altcoin are not competitors)

[Salny.ArtDesign]

Every time, for as long as I remember, that I go on bitcointalk, everyone keeps posting "BTC IS DEAD" "SELL" etc... And then a few Sr/Hero members come and explain how thats wrong.

I just don't get it.

Aren't we used to the price fluctuating by now? Whats with all the crying/moaning about price bubbles, crashing, inflations, Russia, China blablablablablablaaaaa!

Jeez... Do some research before posting, I saw one post which got LOADS of attention, yet the first post was done by paint, with an unlabelled graph which showed wrong data!

This is getting to the point where we are affecting newer members or gullible people into selling/dumping all their coins instead of keeping them. I mean when I come on the forum, I see that its crashing, why would I buy in?

I think we need to stop giving the panicking people attention and focus more on positive sides.

bitcoin will never die guys and we hope goverment smart bitcoin positif

[justspare]

Because there is some random website that keeps on saying that Bitcoin is dead. It turns out that Bitcoin has died over 100 times. That is really stupid.

[faridkifly]

in my opinion.
people say that bitcoin is dead because they havent felt using bitcoin entirely, perhaps in the country was not supporting or even no.  

[eon89]

People say many things. That doesn't mean that they are true. Think.

[zencomp]

It is clear indication that their are peoples who wanted the negative affect on Bitcoin so that no one enter in bitcoin world, but they dont know that how much negative information is going to circulate that much benefit will go to bitcoin technology, because the mentality of human beings is what you tell not to do that things only they will do, saying who are you to tell me ? hahahheee

[diodio5]

in my opinion.

agree. of course if they are already part of the bitcoin as a full member. of course they will loved bitcoin and would not say that bitcoin will die. of course it would be very detrimental for them. because of course they also must invest in bitcoin

people who say that bitcoin will die of course they are the users who do not know much about bitcoin and does not know about the risks bitcoin. bitcoin very volatile. so it is natural that prices fall and rise very quickly. bitcoin price will not continue to fall

[n0ne]

With the volatile nature, the price of Bitcoin will often increase as well decrease. People accept the increase in price but when price decreases they can't accept as well get panic. This circulate a negative impact which makes the people say Bitcoin is dead.

[john2231]

I think they are just saying it that bitcoin is dead because they are promoting other altcoin so that if the bitcoin is dumping an converting to other altcoin the price of bitcoin will decrease and the price of altcoin will increase.. Just like in ETH thats why the price today is low because of many investors in btc is converting into ETH..

[Watercooler]

People who keep saying Bitcoin is dead, probably do this to influence the price, so they can
buy more cheap coins

Correct this seems like trolling to me. Those topics and accounts talk 99% BS anyway. Best thing you can do is either avoid them or to ignore them.
In the end your life will be better.
