Bitcoin's survival

[Dreadboost]

Today most companies, business, individuals etc no don't know much about Bitcoin, their interest is just for profits and making money,
They have no interest on the future of the coin how to keep it decentralised, how to fulfill the real purpose of the coin.

In the nearest future if everyone decide to only investment to make money, Bitcoin will become so volatile because at that point it will be all about speculation/emotions vs big players, it will just be a game of manipulation and speculation there for the reducing the interest of developers, and reducing adoption. The profits we all look up to might not be there anymore. Government will find it more easier to control, there by increasing the risk of centralisation.

So it will be a good Idea to shear to users that there is more to it than just profits, and keeping the coin decentralised should be priority
Use Bitcoin don't just invest and hold, if there are more users globally it will be hard for the coin to be centralised, there have to be transaction everyday, payments, subscription, transfers etc. tell more people about Bitcoin, empower developers to protect it simplicity and openness, and with this Bitcoin survives

Okay the way I see it. We focusing on the profit aspect do distract alot of people on what bitcoin actually stands for. When everyone is going after the price , this will make the system weak and this will also make the players to be few, the actual use of bitcoin by people is all about real strength and appreciate it's open nature or respect it's transparency.

So the only thing is that the real use of bitcoin by people should help keep it independent and useful for a long term investment.

The survival of bitcoin is highly dependent on the demand and supply and as we can see, bitcoin already have a limited supply of 21 million coins and the demand for bitcoin is very high which has already made the survival of bitcoin very certain. People are using Bitcoin in many ways, while some people are holding bitcoin for long term investment, some people are trading it on daily basis and it will also surprise you that, since Bitcoin was initiated till today, their are those who have not touched their bitcoin portfolio till today and some of these people are the bitcoin whales holding greater path of bitcoin in their portfolio.

Bitcoin will always remain decentralized and these categories of people using Bitcoin in different ways are working towards the success of bitcoin couple with institutional interest of bitcoin, making bitcoin survival a guarantee.

If you invest and hold Bitcoin, you are actually using Bitcoin, or dont you think so?

We have reached the level where many options are in place for us bitcoiners to choose what we want to do with our Bitcoin. We can trade it, invest it, spend it, etc. What we do with it does not concern anyone; it is for the better. If investors dont hold their Bitcoin, there wont be scarcity, which will increase demand. One way or another, those who hold their Bitcoin will sell when the time is right.

Ever since bitcoin became a thing it has always been used in alot of different ways but trying to speculate that bitcoin usage is reducing due to people deciding to hold rather than sell is misguided and should not be preached, some people are starting to hold today while others are also hitting over-accumulation and are regularly spending their bitcoin for one reason or the other and profit is still being made all around, bitcoin was made to be a volatile asset, it wouldn't be intentionally designed to be scarse otherwise, it's scarcity means that it's differences in demand will always bring about price fluctuation which can go both ways depending on how the demand swings but long term it's most likely to go higher will will inturn push the price to keep climbing leading to even more profit for holder.
HODLing bitcoin is strategic and it plays its own role in making bitcoin even more valuable.

The first goal of every business is to make profit and most of them need immediate profits to continue their daily business, most times to scale up as well. If they choose to go decentralised how many companies are willing to follow same route with them besides bitcoin is highly volatile such that their coin could either devaluate or evaluate depending on price shift. I will rather recommend companies treat bitcoin as an investment tool, to me it's all about the profit as far I am polling it from the stand point of investment.

Bitcoin is created for the freedom of every user. How to use Bitcoin depends on the personal freedom of the person. If someone thinks that they will hold Bitcoin for future security, then that is their personal matter. Again, many people use Bitcoin for security in financial transactions. In this case, if we talk about holding, then many people have hold in the past and are using it now. Again, those who are holding Bitcoin now will use their holding in the future. And people will use Bitcoin according to their convenience. Here, everyone will transact with Bitcoin, but if they do this, there will be a problem in terms of valuation. Again, even if everyone holds it, the valuation of Bitcoin will become uncertain. Since there are different types of people, they will use Bitcoin depending on their mentality.

Bitcoin cannot be controlled by any individual or any government because it is a decentralised asset and it's decentralised is the main reason bitcoin hasn't crashed. If the government can't control bitcoin I don't think they can manipulate it either. Nobody can't manipulate what is beyond their reached. people don't have to keep bitcoin decentralised, it is already decentralised . The major reason why people are investing in bitcoin is profit driven and I believe no person would invest in bitcoin other than that. The big companies who are investing in bitcoin aren't foolish,they invested in bitcoin because they are seeking alternative of generating profits for their various companies and they wouldn't invest in bitcoin if they don't have clue about it
