Bitcoin have suffered 2 huge crashes at 2018 and 2021, it's really wrong if you're saying Bitcoin will never crash, I believe we will suffer another crash in the future. Bitcoin could crash, but the point is Bitcoin can survive and recover from the crashes, not like majority of shitcoins were it will become dead coins due to no demand.

Introducing someone about a subject where you're not completely understand is really a big mistake.

If you don't know anything about bitcoin, It seems to me you should read a lot about it and make your own mind. Everybody has a different view on the subject. Some people don't like crypto and never invest in it and some other worship it like they found god. Some other people think it as just another investment vehicle and some other people use it as a currency. The answer varies from person to person.

I think bitcoin itself is a safe network as long as you own the keys of your funds but its value against the dollar fluctuates and that might create some problems if you are not a long term player/investor.

I think this doesn't need to be on Bitcoin discussion board but rather on speculation board. Crash totally to zero, I don't think so but if we're talking about crashing for thousand dollars from now is likely possible. The thing with crashes of Bitcoin involves certain bad actors in the market. Yeah, I agree you should read more and research more when you want to tell a story.

[EarnOnVictor]

The answer is, Yes, Bitcoin can be trusted! However, you were not prepared for this question simply because you know little about Bitcoin and blockchain technology and how they come into play with the acceptance by people and the world government. The coin has opened the eye of the world to blockchain technology and has advanced digital payment systems which some governments are now building upon.

This is not a project that will just disappear so soon, so, anyone could trust it. I recommend you to read to educate yourself and your friend:

Bitcoin crash, but bitcoin never dies means that when we enter a bearish cycle like 2021, bitcoin will crash, losing 70%-80% of its value as the case may be. But after the bear season ends, bitcoin always recovers after that and hits a new ATH. The crash is not a scary thing but an opportunity because to profit from bitcoin investment, we need to buy low and sell high, and when bitcoin crashes, it is buying opportunity.
I think what your friend is worried about is that bitcoin is going to disappear forever, not crash, and I also want to answer that bitcoin will never die or disappear.

It is true that bitcoin is not likely to be a scam like other altcoins but there is no guarantee that it could be a major crash as we have seen a major crash in 2017 and later in 2018 when bitcoin dropped from $20000 to $3200.  But it didn't last long as Bitcoin once again crossed $68k but crashed again to $15k and the present rate is $24k. this is how Bitcoin sometimes undergoes major corrections.  So one should have the patience of long time holding before expressing interest in Bitcoin

Bitcoin may see a major correction but it is unlikely to completely crash and become worthless like another altcoins. It is not mandatory for a person to participate in this forum to know about bitcoin but if someone wants to gain knowledge about bitcoin properly then he can take help of this forum and read various articles including google searching

I'm personally long-term bullish on bitcoin, but there's no guarantees with bitcoin going up and there's no guarantees with literally anything concerning markets. With investing, you just need to weigh in the risks/reward ratio to determine if something is worth investing in.

[Vaskiy]

When we're introducing bitcoin to someone who is close to us we need to teach them, and we should request them to analyse and take decision when it comes to buying and selling of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. As we've got risk with investments here the risk is high so is the profiting and loss. One need to understand it in the right way and automatically they'll trust it. Going through the charts too a better way to understand the market and trust it.

Your friend has a bad question.

Other cryptocurrencies have worse crashes than Bitcoin. They have different reasons to crash like pumps and dumps, rug pulls, hacks. They can be crashed if Bitcoin falls considerable. Hopefully you and your friend see difference here. Bitcoin falls considerable and other cryptocurrencies crash.

If your friend trust other cryptocurrencies but don't trust Bitcoin, he has bad decision.

A better question is "Does Bitcoin not have crash like other assets like stocks, golds, crude oil?"

Stocks, crude oil have falls or crashes like Bitcoin. In 2020, crude oil was traded -$30.

Explaining bitcoin to them, beginners really have to be clear and can't miss a thing, at least for the basics of what bitcoin is. If he asks if bitcoin will crash, then the answer is of course it could happen. It's just that even though bitcoin crashes, it can always get it back up, unlike altcoins (some) which end in scams. We should tell them how when bitcoin crashed a few years back, let them see what happened that year. And when they know it all, let them decide for themselves whether or not they are interested in bitcoin.

Actually, you forgot 2013/14 and the notorious MtGox crash. Bitcoin is going in cycles and we're currently at the bottom of current cycle (best time to invest). Bitcoin is going to peak around September 2024, reaching $100k+. Every crash is just marking a new beginning, new cycle.

It’s your friends wish mate whether he wants to join the forum or not, why forcing him? When he will realise the true potential of the coin, he will automatically join the forum. Moreover anything can happen in future, government can impose strict rules against bitcoins or more worse. So yes currently teach him how independently he can control his finances if he uses Bitcoins. Also say him that he can treat Bitcoins as an asset and can hold it and sell it at more profit. If still he doesn’t wants to join, then leave him at his own way.

[crypticj]

The whole point of bitcoin is that you CAN and SHOULD trust it because no one can fake it. It's the most honest and transparent system in the world. Blockchain technology can even be used for voting and stuff.

You and your friend have a lot of work to do.

You have to acquire a lot of information, mainly by reading from reliable sources, but if not, there are many means nowadays. Once you know very well about how and when it was created, what it is and how it works, you can make decisions.

Your friend making decisions based on what you tell him and you basing them on whether we tell you that Bitcoin is going to crash or not is a very bad idea.

Since you are new to Bitcoin and by your own admission you don't know much about it you should avoid trying to talk someone into it. It is a common mistake that many of us did but trust me, you don't wanna that responsibility. Let's say that you talk someone into buying some bitcoin and then it crashes like 75% (which has happened more than once) and in the end your friend might blame you for talking him into it.

rs after that and hits a new ATH. The crash is not a scary thing but an opportunity because to profit from bitcoin investment, we
I think what your friend is worried about is that bitcoin is going to disappear forever, not crash, and I also want to answer that bitcoin will never die or disappear.

Even though chances for that happening are slim to none, it can still happen. We don't know what future brings and every investment (including in bitcoin) posses certain amount of risk.

Bitcoin has had crashes before and even hit bottom prices. But it could all turn around and even bitcoin prices could make ATH highs that we never imagined. Crashes for bitcoin will usually occur after the bitcoin price hits its peak, which is what has been happening all along.

Before this, the bitcoin price had already touched a price peak and finally, the bitcoin price fell step by step to its lowest point at $ 15k. And it seems that right now, the price of bitcoin is experiencing a recovery phase until the price reaches its previous peak.

[Frankolala]

Bitcoin crashes due to its volatile nature,when I mean crash i.e the price goes dip in the bearish market and after that,it regains back its price. It can't crash to hopeless which is point zero,just like other centralized altcoins. Since 2009 bitcoin has faced so many challenges and it is still surviving.

You are a newbie and you know nothing on bitcoin, that was why you couldn't explain to your friend that bitcoin is not like any other cryptocurrency he knows or have heard. Bitcoin is the king of all cryptocurrency,next time  you shouldn't tell people about what you have little knowledge on so that you don't misled them. Also don't force anybody to believe in bitcoin or buy bitcoin because it is a risky investment for short term holders that don't understand the market.

We appreciate you as a new member and joining us in the Forum, and regarding your statement about Bitcoin we suggest that you study more broadly in the Forum, there is a lot of material that you will get of course. And actually About Bitcoin going to Crash like other Crypto this is true but it's not the same as other coins Bitcoin has uniqueness and features that are different from other coins contained in Cryptocurrency.

In the previous year and stepping over 5 years ago exactly in 2018, and last year, Bitcoin had Crash and correction in a long period of time, even so Bitcoin can Recover and continue to grow, in the sense that Bitcoin is not the same as the coins in Crytpo other. and say to Crash to Zero I don't think it's even impossible to happen, so far Bitcoin has been able to survive and pass through some complicated obstacles, and it can be proven that Bitcoin will still be able to survive.

[dragonvslinux]

It's not that Bitcoin won't "crash", it's technically done this three times throughout it's history. It's that over 10+ years it has a history of recovery, even if prices are to go lower. By comparison, most other cryptocurrencies don't have that history. Out of 22K+ shitcoins, most of them will never recover from the current bear market, just like many others from the past never recovered.
