Im Surprisd btc still alive

[the rise]

there is a truth, I also see that, bitcoin has many real drawbacks, and below bitcoin today there are still many much more powerful cryptocurrencies, it's just that bitcoin is always supported by the entire cryptocurrency community and the whales. Whatever the coin community today, it all comes from bitcoin, which is why bitcoin is so powerful. And I guess bitcoin will never disappear or die as long as the internet still exists.

Bitcoin has the largest network effect, Bitcoin has the strongest network effect, and severely outperforms any altcoin in the competition. According to the Real Bitcoin Dominance Index, it occupies a dominant position of approximately 80% in the cryptocurrency market compared to its competitors. So this is why Bitcoin beats other currencies and has existed for twelve years.

Indeed Bitcoin is not perfect and there are still some weaknesses, but this does not make Bitcoin investors left. Due to the fact that until now Bitcoin is
still the most popular crypto and is in demand by many investors. And there are still many institutions that invest in Bitcoin, for that reason I believe
Bitcoin will not die. Therefore, compared to other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin is the most profitable to buy. The internet is an important factor so that
we can still make Bitcoin transactions, without an internet network there is a possibility that Bitcoin will die.

Firsts are always more interesting. Also, the loss of satoshi, the creator of bitcoin, makes bitcoin attractive. But this will end. I think ethereum will surpass bitcoin in two years.

Being the first one indeed plays a role, but on the other hand, of Bitcoin was poorly developed and had some serious flaws that cannot be changed - it would've crushed a long time ago. But we've seen it recovering many times, even when there were manipulation attempts, panic selling, huge fees...
And about Satoshi, I don't think it has any meaning at all. Yes, that's somewhat intriguing, but just enough to feed the media a little, those times when news about Satoshi's identity was a hype are long gone.

and until now bitcoin is the  only coin that major crypto users keeping on their pocket.

not like Shitcoins  that only used for daily trading and also for some short transactions while those who wanted to keep for future use, then bitcoin is their choice .

Bitcoin is indeed inseparable from controversy, one of which is from its creator who is kept secret and various legal issues that continue to accompany its growth. Indeed, nothing is perfect, which is why there are many altcoins that offer better deals, with features and usability that are more acceptable to the community and a clear development team. But that's not enough to overthrow BTC as a cryptocurrency pioneer, the facts speak for themselves. Let the secret be a secret. Let's just take advantage of this opportunity to take profit, don't worry about the controversy, that's it will be worthless.

Nothing beats out the first even though its really a bit outdated compared into most altcoins in the market which does have much more better when it comes to scability and fees which are mostly where the community is minding off but still the demand is there with Bitcoin despite of its flaws
which does simply proves out that being first would really stick to top rank even though its not a guarantee but at least we can really see
on how the community is been reacting on it.

[tygeade]

Well, you do know that eth is also facing the same problem that bitcoin is facing right now? Bitcoin is still alive till today because of how good it is. And when it comes to transaction bitcoin is one of the most secure cryptocurrencies for transactions, only the fees is what discourages a lot of people from making use of it.

Even at that I have seen companies that sends payments using bitcoin, and I have not seen any company that is making use of any other cryptocurrency apart from this. If you’re going to be using transaction as a comparison, for sure there are lots of cryptocurrencies that are a lot better for transaction, but Ethereum wouldn’t be the choice for me, Tron is even better when it comes to making transactions.

[kotajikikox]

There is many More better blockchains with much better use  Cases and utility.
ETH is one of biggest.

Btc is still alive only reason for that is some very powerful and influenceal people want btc to be alive there is no use Case no utility other then speculation even to Move dark money btc is not good even to make Transactions between companies not good.

So I guess btc is alive only that some big important rich person Can speculate and dump btc on poor suckers.

So to Say to take money from people and scam them.

you will be more surprised once the Bitcoin price crossed 1 million in the future  and no wonder what will be your reaction if all your shitcoins dies while bitcoin is climbing up and up .
there is more than 10 years that bitcoin proven its existence and capacity and what about you, have you proven anything yet aside from trolling this forum and spamming here and there?

What you say is true, Bitcoin is very different from shitcoins. Most people who buy Bitcoin for long term investment, this is what ultimately makes
Bitcoin stronger and impossible to die. While shitcoins are only used for pump and dump, because it is used by people to seek profit in the short term.
And the advantages of Bitcoin are also what make many people believe, if the price has fallen, always recovers and the price goes up higher and higher.
So it is not wrong if there are people who say investing in Bitcoin can make us rich.

My point is a little different. Being first is important, but only at the beginning. Afterward - it's the features, marketing, and advertising, that play the biggest role. Let's take smartphones, as an example. The first touch-screen smartphones that resemble the ones we have now on the market were BlackBerry, which appeared around 2004-2005. A couple of years later, in 2007, the first iPhone entered the market. So does it matter now who was the first one? Apple won over the market, even though it was released years after the first one.
So it's not only "being the first" that makes Bitcoin special, but its features as a cryptocurrency as well. Otherwise, it would've been long forgotten.

[BETTY B]

Bitcoin does not depend on scarcity to determine its value. Its true value lies in its wide acceptance.
Everyone who can see here knows that Bitcoin's first transaction is a pizza worth hundreds of millions of dollars. The generation of this transaction is very simple. The simple one is:
A: I have Bitcoin, do you approve it?
B: Approval
A: Then I will use 10,000 bitcoins for you. You can give me pizza.
B: Transaction

That is exactly the fact mate, that Ethereum is much in trouble more than Bitcoin because people are trusting bitcoin forever that they can appreciate why the fees are so high but Ethereum? what coin is this to compare to bitcoin that sometimes it has more higher fee than BTC?
yeah it is bitcoin that will stay alive to the last breath of our generation now.

Even at that I have seen companies that sends payments using bitcoin, and I have not seen any company that is making use of any other cryptocurrency apart from this. If you’re going to be using transaction as a comparison, for sure there are lots of cryptocurrencies that are a lot better for transaction, but Ethereum wouldn’t be the choice for me, Tron is even better when it comes to making transactions.

Nope there are companies that also using altcoins ,but the main thing is Bitcoin is the most used and majority is having this in their plate compared to the 10% altcoins.

You can even just distinguish some coins in the market that if it isn't near BTC then it is a shitcoin.
Most probably those who aren't on the toppers.
However people shouldn't expect too much that BTC will lead them to their Lambo.

[genolica]

It is going to be a cycle, I believe. As how it started it all, cryptocurrencies is aligned through what bitcoin had done for the market. If ever, ETH, or other vastly growing crypto currencies or coins today, will dominate and overwhelm the market, bitcoin won't be forgotten in the market and its degrading or lowering value will attract new and future investors and it will just be a cycle on the ups and downs on its trend. I think that's the case that will run for a very long time.

Explain this - how is El Salvador merchant going to price its goods in Bitcoin? Is his rent going to be in Bitcoin? Is he going to pay his employees in Bitcoin? Suppliers will charge him in Bitcoin??

Bitcoin has the largest network effect, Bitcoin has the strongest network effect, and severely outperforms any altcoin in the competition. According to the Real Bitcoin Dominance Index, it occupies a dominant position of approximately 80% in the cryptocurrency market compared to its competitors. So this is why Bitcoin beats other currencies and has existed for twelve years.

This is why the market cap is such a flawed metric, if someone creates a coin with 100 million coins in supply and one of those coins is sold for 1 dollar suddenly this coin has a market cap of 100 millions, as a rule of thumb when it comes to altcoins whenever I see their market cap I reduce it to only 5% of the number I see to get a more realistic idea of how much money is actually invested in the coin and how much support it has.

Bitcoin is still alive, and now it has been used as a currency by a country, and more countries will do the same in the future, and Bitcoin will only get better and better.

Despite getting it banned in some countries, Bitcoin is still alive and will continue to survive. El Salvador took a great step by legalizing Bitcoin in their country. I hope more countries do the same.

That would help their economy for sure, El Salvador is not a reach country based on the GDP by Country ranking.
https://www.worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-by-country/

With the help of bitcoin being legalized, the government could generate income from this as more money inflows will happen and they can make taxes out of that, and their people could easily make transactions outside the country with the help of crypto and bitcoin which is good for business.

it is true that bitcoin has become a legal currency in a country, this is one step so that the future of bitcoin is getting brighter, but there is no certainty that other countries will follow the country's steps if the country's economy develops well. Of course other countries will follow suit but if the country is experiencing an economic downturn, of course other countries will not follow in the country's footsteps.

We will have to wait and see but to me this is just the first step, this will bring a lot of investments to that country, my only problem is that this is not really a safe country to live in so I do not think many bitcoin holders are planning to move there anytime soon, but if a reasonably secure country did so we could begin to see a lot of whales moving there and getting a citizenship as well and forget about their old countries in order to be able to use their bitcoin directly as it was the vision of satoshi from the beginning.
