In the last time there are many "Bitcoin is death" posts. I would say that our lovely Bitcoin transfers back to a payment method,a Currency.
Bitcoin is not a free money making Tree.
A low price means a better acceptance in the World (more people have more coins), we don't need to speculate about the price.

But don't stay low for too long.  it's bad in terms of morale. So now it's a good time and opportunity to buy. Let's push up demand and price. |

It's a good time to start a bitcoin business with the low prices if your business model allows you to hold on to them rather than sell them to keep the business running. So when/if bitcoin raises .. profit!

It dosen't matter if it's low or high , I would say a Stable Bitcoin is a good Bitcoin price should be simply stable |

I would definitely buy more of it at 100$. Not because the price is low, but because it just feels safer to invest into . |

It is not good for miners, at least at current difficulty.
If prices fall more, then some of them will have to stop operating and it will result the network unstable for some time

There are only a few million bitcoins in existence.
Therefore, the price will go much higher, or bitcoin will not be used around the world by millions of people.
If I wanted to send 20 million dollars in bitcoin, but the price of bitcoin was only $1.00, I would have to buy all the bitcoins in existence. And I still wouldn't have enough bitcoins.
Similarly, if 500 million people wanted to spend $10.00 a day in bitcoin, the price of 1 bitcoin would have to be a lot higher than $100. Otherwise there wouldn't be enough bitcoins for the system to work.
So a low price isn't necessarily good for bitcoin. It just means that there aren't many people using bitcoin.

i just noticed the difficulty dropped twice in a row last few months, not sure its done that in a while! but i guess its a sign that the system is balancing, sure if price stays low it will force out some miners but it probably wont be long before it balances and stabilizes... it may be a psychological barrier more than anything but lower coin prices attract more new users. |

But some may see it as an opportunity. The less miners the more you get since there is less to spread among miners, so it gets somewhat balanced. Everything has its risks. |

So a low price isn't necessarily good for bitcoin. It just means that there aren't many people using bitcoin.
The price of bitcoin is always at the right price. using your 2 examples - if you enter the market place with 20 million dollars to buy bitcoin you might well find you will not get them all for $1. they will go up. So you might only need say 5,000 bitcoins to send the 20 million dollars. If 500 million people have bitcoin and want to spend $10 worth you might find they can do that by selling just a satoshi. Unless you are buying and selling bitcoin to make money (speculating) then the price of a bitcoin is irrelevant. But whatever it is, it needs to be fairly stable as that influences peoples use (and extent of holding) it. A lower price will though have a psychological effect on some and they may get involved with bitcoin becasue of it. eg if it goes to say $50 then people thknk "oh I cna buy one for $50". "That is quite good". If when bitcoin was $1,000 you said for $50 you could buy 0.05 part of a bitcoin they would see that as "not good' even though they are the same. The average person (and I am one) gets bamboozled when they have to visualise 5% for example. It is also why naming conventions for parts of a bitcoin are a topic in themselves |

Unless you are buying and selling bitcoin to make money (speculating) then the price of a bitcoin is irrelevant.
So for the purpose of transferring 20 million dollars, I could buy a few million bitcoins for $1 each, and then I could pay $100 each for the rest of them, and you think I could feel safe sending those bitcoins and calling it 20 million dollars? Who would I send them to? Who would accept them for payment, when some of them cost $1 and some of them cost $100? If I bought the first million for $1 each, and then I paid $100 each for the last of them, why would I send millions of bitcoins and call it $20million when the current price of bitcoin is now $100 each? Maybe you want to just agree with me and say "If Bitcoin was $1.00 then nobody could use it to send someone a value of 20 million dollars" |

The main fact is the level of price. It doesn't matter low or high. If low it is really good but the best is it's stability.

In my opinion low price is the best opportunity to buy Bitcoin and earn good profit from it when price rise later.
Of course, if this negative trend with BTC price continue, more and more people may give up from BTC and sell it, what is not good in the long term.

The lower the price the better, well for now at least. It gives individual investors like us to have a chance to purchase and whether use them or hold them for future.  |

It cannot always be great for miners though can it? They have had along time of the good times it is time they deal with some not so good times but it is not terrible by any means they are getting by ok. The op is right and i agree the price is not what really matters. |

But don't stay low for too long. it's bad in terms of morale. So now it's a good time and opportunity to buy. Let's push up demand and price. No, it's not bad in terms of morale. That's what the OP is saying, the speculation (i.e., the "to the moon talk") is hurting widespread use and acceptance of BTC as a currency. |
