It always has, you know? We are fine where we are, but things could progress just a little bit more.

i got the impression that Bitcoin has gotten really under fire over that last nine days since the Paris attacks. i hope this will not damage Bitcoin for a long time.

Did I miss something? How are the Paris terrorists connected to bitcoin?

Don't bother that user,if you see his previous comments ,he is sheer signature spammer and is kicked out of his current campaign.No way the terrorists are connected to bitcoins,its just a myth floating around for days.Even though they're there is no way it will stop the worldwide recognition of bitcoins.

Please be sure to give some links to this? Bitcoin is constantly being ridiculed so I don't really believe you. Not to say that I wouldn't want it to be praised, but just to say the delusional mindsets should stop. Be realistic. If you don't embrace that there's problems that need to be fixed, you can't fix them. Ever.

Maybe all this attention will allow us to beat the previous all time high, but I doubt it.

Yep. Or so it was just until recently; but now they're trying to wrap bitcoin in isis wrapping papper, and sell it as a anonymous payment option used by terrorists..
Can't wait to see how many fools will fall for it..
yes I was about to say this... I come to this thread to highlight this, that he was right until some negative FUD because of recent attacks.
I'm trying to think it over from technical point of view.
If someone say that BTC is anonymous, it can be true, because no one has it's name attached to his public key.
But if you want to use BTC system, you have to use some electronical device as BTC is not an offline currency like bank notes and coins. If you have to use an electronical device to install your wallet on it, the device has an uniqe address (MAC). If you use a phone, the carrier can search for that phone's MAC in the network so you can be found sooner or later. If you use a PC, it's even easier because it's not moving from it's position. So if someone thinks that BTC is ideal for the dark market, it's not.
Of course everything is possible, but before BTC has been invented, the dark side had already put together it's financial system, so they hardly need BTC to do the financial part for them.
But this is just my opinion, everything can be proven (and the opposite as well) if needed of course

At that why the price is continuing to stay stable and on modest upward trajectory

I hope so! I was honestly worried about this ISIS crap that they have launched at us but until now, it seems that this has no effect on the price.

We did prove these news as fake and EU hasn't released any official statement so let's be patient a bit more to make sure that this won't tumble us down!

In the meantime, I do like very much our new floor of $300!
If EU really push through anti-bitcoin regulations that mean they are dumber that they look.
That crisis is existing because they are unable to manage their own countries and not because of significant influence of bitcoin as main source of money for terrorists.


It seems that they won't do anything after all. I mean no news yet, no statement of any kind. More and more it's quite obvious that they weren't talking much about Bitcoin when they have announced cracking down!

On the other side we are growing nicely and these fake news haven't influenced us at all price wise!

It also helps that banks are getting progressively worse.  It used to be the case that people would argue that if you get scammed and lose your bitcoins, there's no recourse, so it's better to trust a bank.  But, increasingly, that's no longer the case and banks are looking to shift the blame onto their customers for fraud, so you don't get your money back.

If banks start lossing traction Bitcoin wins it in return. Even if banks ignore Bitcoin and remain indiferent, it doesn't matter, Bitcoin keeps improving daily. There is literally nothing that can stop it at this point, banks don't even enter the equation.
I don't think that banks are out from this competition already. In my country intrabank transactions were cleared overnight only for few years time before. After they changed the system and bank transfers have beeb issued on electronic banking systems were done in max. 4 hours. Now in the news I can see that they are planning to implement the quicker system with max. 2 hours timeframe (under final testing). After it, they are thinking on a solution similar to BTC with instant transactions. So it's not over already with the banks I guess

In my view the fight has only started and it's going to be much worst, when these "private" Blockchains starts competing directly with the "public" Blockchains. We need to have

more unity in our ranks, when we take on these fights. We have the advantage of having a tested and secure technology, backed by loads of hashing power. The only positive

attention we have achieved are that we are surviving this long, with attacks and accusations and shilling coming from all sides.  Wink

Good but is yet to early to name as stable bitcoin. Stable will be if will continue in this level of price for at least two-three months. Even more. Was stable before for ten month and this stability made possible the increase. If it will be otherwise the increase will not be noted at all. With its volatility (now I have desire to tell ex-volatility) the increase will be one of the common pump and dump seen before this year.

It is a surprise for me to see and read that is speaking and written not only for the prediction about the future of price in 27 December or at 34 February but even for the stability of bitcoin which is really a quality between the most important ones (if not the most important) for the moment and even for the future of it as a currency. Without this quality have no meaning to be named currency because no one will have trust on it as a money. Good thread and good to see it.

So that's why the transaction speed is slower. Too much transactions to handle Cheesy

Bitcoin is making progress day by day even when it seems to be stable at $300

It seems to be going up a bit slowly but surely. Really happy to see some change after a week or 2 a stable $300.

Yes I agree and this can be felt in the air lately! People are out of ammunition about the same old arguments that we are ponzi, dark market currency and that we won't last too long.


The ponzi argument has mostly died and now we are fighting other silly things like funding terrorists and drugs.  The internet still faces some small critique its not going to stop soon.

Yet, we are still here and making enormous progress. Also people and analysts have started noticing our technical and technological aspects and they are getting very surprised by what can we offer to the world.

Everyone are getting very intrigued and we are about to blow their minds with this tech!

The price is rising so something positive is in the media/news about it.
I think it will stay stable this time since it is slowly climbing now and not jumping up to fast.

Bitcoin is more transparent than cash payment. All the government should promote its use to fight terrorism. When a employer pay you the bitcoin, from that point on, all your transaction is traceable. The government will know to whom you pay with the bitcoin. If they are in doubt, they can ask you.
Bitcoin can be traceable if every person has one official wallet and uses it for payments. If government wants to control it, it can regulate in the law that you have to use one wallet only and you should let them know your public key to register it to you personally. After this bitcoin can become traceable but not centrally controlled.

The price is stable because the 24h trading volume is low. When people start trading more, it will fluctuate more.
