It's growing faster than the internet was in 1995; faster than twitter; faster than facebook.

Price != adoption

Not saying you're wrong, but what are you basing this observation on?

I think Bitcoin  gain more popularity  Grin
NOT losing it's popularity

Bitcoin price down, doesn't mean Bitcoin lose popularity
And when Bitcoin price went up, Bitcoin pupularity will rise  Grin

Agree with the first part, but not really the second. Bitcoin is getting more and more popular, but it's merchant adoption we need will get even more people noticing it and that will then push the price up.

From what I have seen bitcoin is definitely not losing popularity. It may seem like that with prices drop and increasing all the time but that is something that will happen, it's not going to lose popularity over that and definitely not any time soon.

I feel like bitcoin keeps getting more media attention with time. So you're right.

my thought is i should be making threads like this to increase my rank on bitcointalk and then reply to everyone about everything regarding anything.  just like this post

That would be extremely cynical and annoying, who would do such a thing.

By the way Loosing is a much better spelling of losing and should be adopted.

Also if by popularity the OP means number of unique addresses then bitcoin is becoming more popular, if the OP is talking about demand for bitcoin at a particular price then bitcoin is less popular. However the price of bitcoin really reflects an asset allocation decision where individual investors are deciding if the asset is over or undervalued, so it does not really tell us anything about popularity.

Damn I should have posted three separate messages then I would be a full member.

If you define popularity as being how well known a person or thing is then I would have to say 'hell no'.  Bitcoin grows in popularity by the day.  Even negative news will getcha known by many.

Trying to use the past to predict the future of a volatile commodity like bitcoin is an exercise in futility.
You sure about that? The pattern seems easily recognizable to me.

FYI I dumped my life savings in the middle between the two red boxes. No regrets.

Keep extrapolating, especially on such a miniscule data set, and you will get hit pretty hard when your expectations fail. Just saying.

what about all the government crap? remember the good days you could withdraw bitcoins into fiat pretty much with no ID required on literally any exchange.. now it's just fucking controlled by big brother

That's a fiat problem, not a bitcoin problem.

If anything it's a good reason to use bitcoin more and fiat less.

Every day there are more and more websites that start accepting bitcoins, though unfortunately they don't attend to be that popular and so trustworthy. I'm not really sure about this.

Everyone is just looking at the current price and then making conclusions. This is wrong.
The price does not show if bitcoin is popular or not, nor is the adoption growing or not.


Not everyone. The most positive thing more and more places accepting Bitcoin. The number of transactions does not increase much though.

This is why I think the Bitcoin adoption grows, but very slowly last half year
Well I meant everyone as those people who are spreading such things. Obviously people who responded to this topic, including you and me do not think like this.
