The truth about the 20k bitcoin last year

[pixie85]

Lets face it- BTC is total worthless- its garbage and you cant use it for anything
now prove me wrong, lol

What happened to that attitude?

buy and hold

Why would we want to prove you wrong? You are obviously here to troll the members of this forum.
If you really bought and held in late 2017 and are now regretting it means that you were one of those people who wanted a get rich quick scheme and got wrecked.

This is 2019, and even last year there are a lot of exchanges in which you can do ETH/USD trading already, so your statement about people unable to buy ETH with fiat is false. Also, as for bitconnect, they are just a ponzi scheme after all, which accrued almost $3B in investments for a few months until they got busted, so compare that to $400B market cap of bitcoin when it reached $19K? Laughably small, but still is a part of it. Blabber all you want about bitcoin being the worst due to its 'failure' to hold whatever price range you want it to, but then almost everyone here know that it's not Bitconnect and ETH who drove bitcoin to insane heights.

[rodel caling]

first of all bitconnect is just an exchange that turned into/rvealed itself as a scamming business.
bitconnect is not bitcoin. and bitcoin is not bitconnect.
one is code, the other is a business. they are completely different things

Face it BTC fanboys- your coin is garbage and noone can use it for anything- the only reason it had any usage was in the beginning when people used it to buy drugs on the darknet but other than that- screw bitcoin

..
now prove me wrong, lol

i personally pay my bills. buy groceries and many things with bitcoin. i have not had any FIAT worries since 2012

the problem is not bitcoin.
the problem is that people think bitcoin:
   is some AI that:
          self codes and self evolves
          will visit your local grocery store and set itself up with your local shop
          that is not reliant on devs to evolve.
   needs to process every transaction(fud:"gigabytes by midnight") or no transactions(fud:"medium of exchange failed")).
          they feel if it cant be used to buy a google ad at 0.001cent.
          that bitcoin needs to be pushed to cost people $0.10-$10 and then use a different network for everything.
                 i personally can but coffee with bitcoin (yes people will be shocked) and no i dont need LN to do it.
                 and no its not due to temporary low fees allowing it.

bitcoin will not mow your lawn for you. YOU need to phone a gardener. and ASK the gardener if they will accept bitcoin
bitcoin will not buy your groceries for you. YOU need to go to your grocery store and ASK the store if they will accept bitcoin
bitcoin will not teach you about itself. YOU need to do the research and YOU need to help others to learn about it

and a big tip for many.
when you have learned a little. do not go around with fluffy cloud unicorns of over prmised over promoted things to think it will entice more people into using it. do not oversell the purpose of bitcoin. be free and liberated to also admit its flaws.
firstly it allows people to know what its really about. and if they do get into it they know they will get what they expect.
no hope no trust needed. it just does what it does.

too many go for the over optimistic hope of fluffy cloud future, which ends up frustrating more people than those who are
open to mention the critical issues.
mentioning the critical issues is good. because outside the echo chambers o fluffy clouds. may be an outsider that can see
a solution that the echochamber has ignored, not thought of. because the echo chamber is too stuck following a single path roadmap to fluffy cloud land

that's truly completely good answers from him, one thing i will share for this i don't understand for those people posting negative from bitcon without any proof of evidence and obviously bitconnect since from the start i heard is scamm exchange so theirs not credible bitcoin bring bitconnect value in the top.

[nydiacaskey01]

Looks like you are here to troll Bitcoin and claim ETH is better than BTC but accept it or not, BTCis still king. People like me have a lot of use for Bitcoin. Bitcoin for me helps me pay by utility bills directly. Helps me earn an extra income and I use its not only me whom Bitcoin was able to help financially, so why hate it. I don't hate ETH, I have a few ETH stored and plans to sells when it reached my target.

[JPSelzer]

That's not so. Bitcoin still continues to occupy the first place in the list of cryptocurrencies and is popular among investors. Bitcoin will be widely used in many industries, it just takes time.

[flying_bit]

Dude, you're so misinformed...seriously. We don't need to prove you wrong, you just need to get your info correct. Bitconnect is so NOT Bitcoin. Bitconnect is scam ICO erc20 base token while BITCOIN is BITCOIN. Go google it for yourself.

I love Eth but I don't think it can ever outperformed bitcoin.

[steampunkz]

Too much hate and negativity you experienced in BTC, But look on the bright side, Its price is still reasonable for people who are holding and using it. The only downside is I think you invested BTC in the wrong time (last few months I'm guessing)

[Johninthai]

Don't feed the ignorant troll. Some are mentally retarded, pay no attention to them.

[sudeshkumar]

Need to clarify whether there is any authentic information or just a rumor  and the purchasers of the Btc were all  ignorant about it.

[Tamilson]

Okay this guy is a mess and he thinks he knew everything even obviously he don't.
Idk what he's up to by saying this, or maybe he was a FOMO of last year ATH and now ranting here because of his losses. While the funny part is bitcoin is bitcoinnect and everything is because of eth icos, really now?

[bitcoinsc]

Bitcoin has the biggest network effect. More ATMs are being distributed world wide. People are using it as a safe haven. As a store of value.

[fuckcrypto]

Not 1 time I said Bitconnect was bitcoin

what I said was that bitconnect was partly responsible for the price spike on bitcoin amongst ethereum ICOs

nobody went to buy bitcoin to hodl this shit

[pooya87]

based on your username and your passion about the "bags" of shitcoin you are holding it is clear that you have already lost a huge amount of money in the altcoin dumps, mainly in the 90% dump of ethereum and now you are hoping to make some of the huge loss back in this tiny ETH pump of the last couple of days by hyping it up.

you can dream all you want but a 6 year old can tell you that something with unlimited supply (ether) can not outperform something with a limited supply (btc) specially when it already has 6 times more circulating supply!

[jakezyrus]

Lets face it- BTC is total worthless- its garbage and you cant use it for anything

Lmao btc is not a grabage and it is not worthless because btc is verry useful and it can be used for anything  . the real truth about the pump last year is because of the btc's demand  .  many people are becoming interested on it , thats why they buy and result for the price to sky rocket  . 

The dump in the price is also normal because people also sell their btc in order to get profit and maybe they cant buy  for now because they dont have a cash yet  but the price can surely recover next time if ever there were will be new buyers that will get attracted  to btc .

[bering]

I think you are in the wrong place and in the middle of bitcoin fans if you say bitcoin worthless and garbage so it's normal if people attacking you and we are here will defend bitcoin because we are believe in bitcoin so if you says anything bad for bitcoin it does not have any effect for us because certainly people here will still continue to having bitcoin and don't have any plan to quit

[killat]

The truth is that nobody knows the truth. That's the only truth, no matter what all "experts" say. If we have 1000 experts we have 1000 different opinions. And everyone thinks he got the absolute truth. 😊

[princehandsome]

Crypto scientists only predict, not to ensure the price of Bitcoin will reach $ 20K by the end of the year, because everyone has different opinions and we can only think whether it is true or not. the only thing that is true is that nobody knows about the crypto future and the price of Bitcoin, we better go through it and see what the scenario will be next.

[dreamax25]

Bitcoin just reached its 10th aniversary!

[meanwords]

Such hatred towards something. I hope you recover what you loss mate. Well, to be fair you have the right to express what is your opinion and as such we I can say the same to us. $20,000 was reached because of the advertisement that is done throughout the years. It is true that Bitconnect and Ethereum played a vital role in it and it turned out bad but that doesn't stop Bitcoin from growing even further. It only just begun and that $20,000 would easily be reach with the help of the community.

[beatzcoin123]

you are entitled to your opinion, but i don't understand the emotional attachment, arguing with you will yield no positive outcome as you have made up your mind about your false claims about bitcoin. But it doesn't matter what you think about bitcoin or crypto currency, it doesn't change anything, bitcoin and the crypto currency industry cannot be stopped, not by false propaganda, not even by the government.
