What new feature could potentially make bitcoin more valuable?

[jonathan6655321]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

[Dogtanian]

What do you mean by feature exactly? Something new added to bitcoin?  The only thing that makes the value go up is more demand so we need more people on board for that to happen. Keep spreading the word if that's what you want to see.

[ExpediteStyle201]

As far I know bitcoin already has enough feature and it doesn't need any new feature right now and the demand will rise after the rise from this downfall automatically.

[avikz]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

Even though bitcoin is very well equipped, I think about one feature that will make bitcoin more valuable and more useful, and that is the "smart contract" feature similar to ETH. Today ETH is used widely just because of this feature. A lot of start up companies use ETH to make their own tokens based on that smart contract algorithm which makes ETH is one of the most used and appreciated cryptos of all time, second to bitcoin.

I think, if smart contract can be made available for bitcoin, it will not only increase the utility of bitcoin, but at the same time, make it more useful for the companies around the world who wants to make their own crypto footprint. More utility means more demand and for the same reason, the price can take few more steps towards moon. Just my 2 satoshis!

[davhek]

I don’t think we need some major changes. It’s the acceptance what we need. Onde people recognise all the benefits and start using it more, the value will follow.

[chidrawarster]

The main feature what I would want is the smart contract feature like eth which would make it widely used as an utility coin as well just like eth being used today. So even the more demand will bring more and more people in the queue to have more and more btc so that the present downfall stops.

[Bara420]

I don't find any new feature and I must say bitcoin features are very much updated and right now it doesn't need to add other or any more features.

[ricardobayes]

Couldn't agree more! Otherwise btc will be pretty much useless. There are no use cases for bitcoin at the moment.

[unutbunudostum]

Make sure EFT approval came, the bitcoin will become more valuable. The world will need more digital presence in the near future.
As a result, bitcoin and crypto coins will be valued.

[Velkro]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

This is two different questions, what can make bitcoin more valuable which is topic question? Beign conservative, not innovate too much, leave it to all altcoins and look them burn. Take out best from ashes and progress slowly but surely. This will increase price always.
Price go up from various reasons, most from will to get rich quick.

[bubidan.id]

I don’t think we need some major changes. It’s the acceptance what we need. Onde people recognise all the benefits and start using it more, the value will follow.

Yes, I think like that too. I think Bitcoin has brought many features here, maybe there are some improvements to be more popular and more mainstream. If the confirmation time is faster than the current and lower costs will make Bitcoin more popular and many even merchant will receive and use bitcoin.

[HerbertMarcel]

No new features need to be added bitcoi  is already a popular currency and the demand is increasing day by day, so nothing else to do.

[Gozie51]

What do we also think about the scalability of bitcoin. I think this is the additional thing that will be added to bitcoin that will get it to run on bullish without any further delays.

[figmentofmyass]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

the price will go up when it's good and ready. patience is a virtue.

non-linear scaling mechanisms like the lightning network (once user-friendly) could make BTC more usable and therefore could encourage increased network growth.

but ultimately, there is no "feature" that is going to change things drastically. bitcoin's primary use case is money. it has a limited supply, so as the network grows, price should rise. enjoy the ride!

[Jahmal32]

Does Bitcoin have the ability to cancel a transaction??? Has anyone come across this? Today I experimented with ETH! The transaction which was pending I cancelled it, only paid turns out for gas! I do not know , it would be technically convenient for bitcoin and the system to implement such a function.

[ralle14]

Does Bitcoin have the ability to cancel a transaction??? Has anyone come across this? Today I experimented with ETH! The transaction which was pending I cancelled it, only paid turns out for gas! I do not know , it would be technically convenient for bitcoin and the system to implement such a function.

No, when a Bitcoin transaction is unconfirmed for a very long time there's a possibility that it gets rejected and the spent Bitcoins will be sent back to the address. Nice suggestion however you didn't fully answer the question of OP.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

I can't imagine any new feature that could make Bitcoin more valuable because every feature has pros and cons. Smart contracts would be cool to see but I doubt that it could boost the price of Bitcoin and it's not new if you're familiar with ETH.

I like the point. I think that there is still a long way for mass adoption. The first step will be to improve the UX.

[andrei56]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

We need the lightning network, bitcoin is a currency and the lightning network will make bitcoin overcome its biggest problem which is the scaling problem, once that is taken care of it could be a good idea to have some optional characteristic that made bitcoin truly anonymous for the users that want or need that, and finally smart contracts are a good idea as well.

[hatshepsut93]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

There are different ways how new feature can affect Bitcoin's price. First, there is a speculative effect - when developers announce that they plan to implement a new feature and later report progress on it, the market may consider it bullish news. I believe that the development of Lightning Network is one of the reasons why we had such a big rally in the last year. The second part is when the demand increase after the feature has been released as a direct result of that feature. For example, if Bitcoin will get better privacy, it might get more new users and the price will go up.

The problem with speculative increase is that can be only temporary and the actual usability of a new feature will determine how big the price effect will be.

[h0lybyte]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

This is an important question and only well knowledged members who have been trading in cryptocurrencies can answer it precisely.
Besides the anonymity and fastest network confirmation, bitcoin should be accepted globally including minor business owner, this is only possible if governments will allow bitcoin as a legal coin

[AdamRay]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

I think Blockchain has made Bitcoin famous. That is the only thing that makes technology investors happy and want to spend their lives for Cryptocurrency and learn about this new Blockchain technology.
So I believe Crypto has a great future and Blockchain will always improve. That would make the price of Bitcoin higher.

[Nunii]

It's blockchain technology as a whole. One will be, the effectiveness and efficiency it brings to transactions and costs whether business related or not. Second will be the transparency. Currently, in the business wolrd, it is a factor considered by most of the adopters and investors. Lack of transaparency can ruin the whole thing. And as we all know, blockchain technology can bring you a lot more different and whole new level of transparency. This means, increased in auditability and trails, increased in transaparency leading to increased trust from the public. More adoption, increase in price due to higher demand.

[Sanjida]

What do you mean by feature exactly?it's already added our future and the demand is increasing every day. I must say bitcoin property are excellently updated.i think the best avenue to commit bitcoin more expensive whilst make people realise the genuine value of bitcoin.

[xuan87]

I don't think Bitcoin need to add more features, Bitcoin already got a good feature and got a good fame, the only thing that need to be done to make the price go up is more investors or the adoption of big companies, if we can make more stores or people to used Bitcoin then the price could go up

[Phlaser]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

From my own perspective, Bitcoin needs two features to power it up adequately. These are improved scalability and integrating smart contract just like that of Ethereum blockchain. With scalability it can handle large transactions without any much clog in the network and also allows tokens to be built on it via Smart Contract.

[bitterdog]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

I think when it comes to the security of bitcoin. If bitcoin can make their system more secure than before im sure the price will be rising up due to the the secure of bitcoin that also increasing.

[ExceedBlue012]

I think the present features are perfect and it doesn't need any other feature but the transaction fee must reduced and it may effect a lot.

[easycoin995]

Bitcoin is a popular coin and it is also profitable. That’s why people are investing on this project. For this reason i think bitcoin doesn’t need any extra feature to become more valuable.

[cryptocamacho4785]

Bitcoin is already contained with all the features it wants and already it is more valuable coin in the crypto market. But in case of adding new features I would recommend to make it more secure so that no one can stole user’s coin and money.

[Parodium]

I would like to see some side chain functionality added, allowing Bitcoin to interact with smart contracts, or engage in atomic swaps with other cryptocurrencies. Right now, Bitcoin is a pure cryptocurrency, but I think it should open itself up to possibly expanding on this functionality, to compete with platform coins such as Ethereum and EOS. I think platforms will be more widespread than pure currencies most likely.

[rsrb]

Features is not a very important thing to add right now, bitcoin already has a lot of feature installed. Maybe some more security protocol will make this cryptocurrency better.

[skidanchikbizon]

The efficiency of growth does not depend on the situation in the market through the burning of commissions in bitcoin. Then the price of bitcoin will grow. BUT this function is impossible because bitcoin can not be changed

[Vikingkong]

Bitcoin is already self sufficient and well equipped . There is no need for any major change. Bitcoin only needs to work on its limitations so that it gets more public demand. Only more demand will cause its price to go up.

[canej]

Bitcoin in the present time, the coin with the largest capitalization and its functionality does not affect its value, because technically it is obsolete. Its price is regulated by whales.

[regadly]

You always have to take into account that you can lose the familiar new one, Getting decent speed with scale can lose decentralization.

[FruitSprite]

Actually bitcoin has everything to make it reliable and it has proved its capability. There is nothing that can make it more valuable except demand. Price is dependent on the demand and high demand will give rise to high price.

[NuttyOracle]

Right now we do need a solution to the scaling problem and that can be done with the aid of the lightning network. Also the option of having a smart contract feature would be great too.

[metvloz69]

Create a security team in bitcoin to prevent users from using software besides hacking bitcoins, causing many people to go bankrupt, losing confidence in bitcoin. If there is a security team protecting the rights of users Investing in and offering solutions to this problem will surely lead to a new height.

[jekquenkinkas]

the best influence and make bitcoin / altcoin rise.
1. Many collaborate with new projects.
2. entering a large market.
3. Its use is evident in everyday life.
so that there are many new investors and requests in the market later.

[PlusOne88]

For me volatility should stop at least for a day. In this regard to allow people to use bitcoin and feel secured, I think it would be best to allow price change only once for a day and change will only be seen the next day. In this manner people can use bitcoin without the fear of losing so much because price are stable for a day.

[cabron]

I don't know id smart contract will really help bitcoin boost up since there are already platforms doing it. Somehow I think its just what it is, the demand of BTC can simply make it go up than its ATH last year. Perhaps the ETf approval will make it happen but I'm pretty sure its just the demand of BTC and people investing and merchants accepting it.

[crazybtclover]

I don't think that new features making it more valuable, actually it doenst have any lak of features if you see it's all features. It is using more advanced level security and algorithms.

[BlackPanda]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

We don't have to talk about new features that might be there, the most important thing we have to do is try to increase the prestige of Bitcoin in the world. With the increasing use of Bitcoin, it is likely that Bitcoin will become much more valuable and have a very good level of popularity. We must continue to optimize the use of Bitcoin by applying Bitcoin in financial transactions every day, this is the first step that must be done and then we next are discussing how to use Bitcoin as a global financial system.

[BitcoinPanther]

I think the primal design of bitcoin was good enough that we witnessed how it turns out to be financially valuable.

We are already at a stage that a great debate is at a stand still where bitcoin is to be considered digital gold.  Bitcoin already packed up great features with it or if i may say, is already fit enough that it was able to pull off the realization of a dependable digital cash.

Though of course, your inquiry is valid. And i'm sure a lot of brilliant minds out there would be happy to engage on your topic.

[Dadaro]

One enough factor that will greatly affect the price of bitcoin to go up is the approval of SEC to regulate it. It will attract the real whales out there, because they are sure that their invesments are safe.

[BlockWorker]

Bitcoin is a reserve of value, not meant to be a payment gateway: there are other blockchains with this desing.

For this reason I think current implementation is acceptable with its the mining fees and the hash complexity.

[Al-e_x]

Crypto trading fluctuations always affected by supply and demand, when we see a bullish crypto market, we can be sure that demand is high. then external factors also affect crypto values.

[bravehearth0319]

"Decreasing the transaction verification time" is one of the features of bitcoin that should be improved. Developers are working on these already. The LN is one way to improve these, but there are still gray areas with this projects. It hasn't proven anything yet.

[1van__]

bitcoin does not need new functions, it is great, the main thing is to get rid of its large shaft capacity and everything will be fine

[Kprawn]

A built-in Mixer service to mix your coins, because you now have to use 3rd party mixer services to do this and that just adds

fees to Bitcoin transactions. I know some other coins have their own Mixer services, but Pseudo anonymity for Bitcoin is not

enough, we need 100% anonymity. If you do not want that, then use 3rd party exchanges with KYC/AML requirements to do

your tx's.  

[bitbunnny]

For me volatility should stop at least for a day. In this regard to allow people to use bitcoin and feel secured, I think it would be best to allow price change only once for a day and change will only be seen the next day. In this manner people can use bitcoin without the fear of losing so much because price are stable for a day.

You can't stop volatility, it's one of the key features of Bitcoin. Besides, volatility is something that traders make money on and exactly that attracts many users.
To my opinion something that could contribute to greater value of Bitcoin is acceptance by prominent businesses and wide spread usage in everyday life. But one of preconditions for that is positive regulation.

[znation]

As many people know and accept bitcoin, bitcoin will increase. Bitcoin has a lot of good features and is going to go on sale.

[Hilows]

Yes may new features can be added to make bitcoin more valuable. I think In future it will improve to its best which will makes it more valuable than any other things.

[btCHOOop]

I don’t think there’s any feature that should be added in Bitcoin.If there is the need of adding anything,that is people.Because if there is more people there will be more investments.

[LinkinPrak852]

Bitcoin is effective enough to make it valuable in the market. If you want to add more to this to attract more users then the security factor comes in mind first. More secure bitcoin system will add more value to bitcoin.

[Walter edmond]

in my opinion bitcoin is well developed . just one thing i miss in bitcoin. if bitcoin applied smart contract i think nothing will be needed further.

[vfrcbv91]

I think this is a transition to pos mining. After that, bitcoin will become more valuable and it will not be sold at every bad news. IMHO

[Ava Duvall]

the best influence and make bitcoin / altcoin rise.
1. Many collaborate with new projects.
2. entering a large market.
3. Its use is evident in everyday life.
so that there are many new investors and requests in the market later.

You are right. I think most important is collaborating with new projects- that brings the best outcomes!

[Salikha]

without etf approval i don't think btc need any kind of feature changes. this etf decision maybe the reason of falling down of price.

[WindowsRepuX]

bitcoin will change automatically. it doesn't need any kind of change. the feature of bitcoin already well updated. we just take patience, market will recover soon.

[coinwizard_]

There is no central control over bitcoin which is great but makes it difficult to implement changes. If bitcoin can meet all the requirements of the ETF then that would pump it sky high, this is an important month for bitcoin

[Fappanu]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

I think if bitcoins will be accepted and made way for every business and companies to make sure that the bitcoin demand is increasing and more people will have the idea of what it really is. And if the bitcoin is taking over and giving attention to the government is sure that its impact will be great.

[Direwolve735]

I don`t think that any new feature will help bitcoin to grow in price. It`s unlikely that it`ll be modified or supplemented. However, the cost of bitcoin depends not only on its internal potential, but also on external correlations. For example, we can trace the parallels between the price of bitcoin and the twists and turns in emerging markets. Both emerging markets and bitcoin peaked earlier this year, and then both were in a bearish trend. One of the reasons for the interconnection of emerging markets and bitcoin is the "wealth effect" (excess funds). If emerging markets fall, then investors have much less money to buy bitcoin. But as soon as emerging markets start to grow, investors will have an interest in the digital currency again.

[MarchionessBold]

I think bitcoin has all the reputations and all the important features since early. So I think there is no need to adopt any kind of new features to bitcoin.

[Hablinfuld]

As far as I know, bitcoin has all the important features that should be taken by all the crypocurrency. So there is no need to adopt any new features. It has the biggest value in the crypto market.

[Lignxxx]

Bitcoin is the biggest valuable digital currency in the crypto market. As far I know, it has all the important features that is adopted. So they don’t need any new adoption of new features.

[John.Verdon761232]

Today, popularity solves many problems. With bitcoin the same as it will be more popular, the less problems there will be and the higher the price.

[Parodium]

I think Bitcoin needs some additional functionality, sure, it's absolutely great as a pure cryptocurrency, but I'd also like to see its blockchain used for more. Perhaps it could act as a sidechain for other more capable platforms such as EOS or Ethereum, I mean it could easily replace NEO gas that's for sure. Integrations make BTC more valuable.

[dablatair]

Hello,

I think the most important improvment could be done on the side of the fees and the speed of the network.

There is lots of other bockchain/coin that have more interesting fees and furthermore a speed of transaction that is more intersting for money exchanges and people who want to fast operations.

Also working on more interaction with other blockchain could attract more project to use it.

[Jerrycryptofield]

New features! I don't know which features are you mentioning. But i think it's in standard form. Bitcoin has enough features. Huge popularity, traders and investors are investiong. Price value in soaring up day by day.

[Eminem23]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

And so bitcoin showed all that he could, I think you need to give other coins to show at least something good, something that can captivate and increase the buyers of this coin.

[godlike123]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

It is the people speculation of market price hype. This is one of the best tool that could help the current market price for bitcoin to grow more. As we all know that hype comes with those people or investors who are promising good fortune if you will going to invest now which resulted to some investors that will going to buy that speculation and invest more on cryptocurrency.

[Labyrinth Wraiths]

I think bitcoin is doing quite well it doesn't need any major changes to make but yes if you want bigger development to happen then I can ensure you that changee are happening everyday and the authority are very conscious about it now

[rosstiller]

I things there is a lot of features that can easily made bitcoin more valuable. Bitcoin have good security system also it have a lot of good project. The EFT will approve soon. So these are the reason that the value will more rise.

[celtic99]

I think if the bitcoin gets a scaling solution and is able to lower fees with the lightneing network it wil become much more valuable.  Also make wallets easier to use for newbies and less complicated.

[ranman09]

I don't know, and I have not yet experienced it, but I have read some. Canceled transaction and problems with Legacy and Segwit chains and much more technical problems scare me on bitcoin. Though I use bitcoin, I have not yet experimented on transfer fees and any technical procedures. I am always in the safe zone.

Reading technical instructions on how to fix a problem really makes me incline from experimenting on bitcoin. I think one of the best feature bitcoin can have is user-friendliness. In both usage and error fixing.

[Aikidoka]

This is a controversial topic. I arguably think that the only thing that can make bitcoin more valuable is the demand on the market. If many people ask about something and more people will do as follow, that thing will be valuable. Therefore, the demand on the market will result in the price growth. For now, I believe there is not much demand on bitcoin, that is why it still is low. But if more people start to buy bitcoin or even the big whales, then we will see a pump in the price.

[Dudeperfect]

The utility value is the only thing that could boost the Bitcoin demand and indirectly the price. As we all know that there is going to be the limited supply of Bitcoin down the road but on the other hand, the utility value of Bitcoin might grow exponentially considering the market situation. I don't expect any specific feature from Bitcoin but I want it to be cheaper when it comes to the transaction fees so that we will be able to use it for the offline microtransactions.

[MinerFTW]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

I personally am not quite sure what you mean but still. In my opinion, the market price may rise if demand is higher. This may come either from new investors or if there is some event that may affect to the coins.

[Al-e_x]

I think scarcity and high demand will be the main factor that makes bitcoin rise and uptrend.

then good news, no panic, no FUD and positive support from the world.

[Leed1962]

as far I knows the market I think bitcoin is already very well  developed and well managed it doesn't need to change it feature that much now,  but in the future authority will definitely think about such things

[CoinsGazer]

the distribution of money:The true power of cryptocurrencies is the power to print and distribute money without a central power.

[stayeduptolate]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

The most important feature that makes bitcoin so successful and so popular is that its way of transactions as the bitcoin transaction are considered to be the most secured and the most confidential one as it does not involve any third party seizure thus no person could see the transaction between two and thus it does not provide any user anonymity and before investing anywhere anyone would see whether his investment is in safe hands or not so the safest transactions are the most important reason if the bitcoin success.

[Dmitry.Vastov]

I know that it's kinda 'big' question but it will be great to see what the community think about that.

what do you think can cause the price to go up?

Bitcoin is very successful, most popular and the most trustworthy crypto currency of all and the reason being is its potential, bitcoin is very potentiating crypto currency and there are many factors which makes bitcoin so successful and the most important feature of the bitcoin success is its safest and the most confidential transactions, this is the reason why millions of people are investing into bitcoin with satisfaction as its transactions does not involve any third party seizure and provides complete user anonymity.

[privedvelosiped]

What do you mean by feature exactly? Something new added to bitcoin?  The only thing that makes the value go up is more demand so we need more people on board for that to happen. Keep spreading the word if that's what you want to see.

That's right. Only demand can give rise to a great desire among investors to buy bitcoin. Without this, bitcoin will not have a price higher than it is now.

[andrei56]

What do you mean by feature exactly? Something new added to bitcoin?   The only thing that makes the value go up is more demand so we need more people on board for that to happen. Keep spreading the word if that's what you want to see.

You do not really understand how this works, what do you think is going to make demand of bitcoin to increase? Or do you think the demand of bitcoin is going to grow out of nowhere? There needs to be a reason for the price to increase if not then that is just a speculation and one of the most important things that can make the price to go up is the addition of new features to bitcoin.

[Kayuslawal]

I dont think btc still needs to add more features to its use case, we only needs the adoption by merchant and well established registered e commerce with also the approval by the authority.

[Wobweb038]

I truly don't think Bitcoin need to add more highlights to it,Bitcoin as of now got a decent component and got a decent notoriety for the selection of enormous organizations. in the event that we can make more individuals to utilized Bitcoin then the cost could go up

[Dogtanian]

I think scarcity and high demand will be the main factor that makes bitcoin rise and uptrend.

then good news, no panic, no FUD and positive support from the world.

But none of those are new features which is what this thread is about.

I don't understand how this works? I'm not sure what you said has anything to do with what I said or how that means that I don't understand. I think this is more a case of you not understanding what I said because where did I say demand grows out of nowhere? You're just making things up that I never said or just plainly just misunderstood what I said.

You also didn't state what 'new' feature bitcoin needs. Bitcoin likely won't have any new features and if it does it'll probably become a new fork.
