That's right OP, Bitcoin survived, has been surviving, is surviving, and will still survive in the future. I honestly feel like the advantage Bitcoin has over most or all other cryptocurrencies, is that, apart from the fact that it was created by a very important person, it was created by an anonymous person. It's program can't be changed, fixed, or edited, therefore making it difficult to influence. The only thing that influences it's worth is the investor's investments. The more the investments, the higher it's prices. The lower the trust people have for it, the lower it's price. Bitcoin, can't be changed, making it an alternative, no company or government can take it own it, it's just there. And since that is it's nature, that's one reason I know, it'll always survive.
Yep, you got it right. Bitcoin's decentralized nature and the fact that it provides financial privacy are among the reasons why it has survived and has become more recognized over time. There is no doubt that most people these days are getting into Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies because they know it has a volatile value and that it can provide them profit over their investments, there are some among that crowd who are in it for the advantages it provides over the traditional financial systems.
When I first came to know about Bitcoin, I didn't know what it was except for the fact that it is some sort of digital money that only exists online, later when I started researching and reading about it, I came to know about what it actually is and how amazing of a technology it is. I have been using it since then.
It is very wonderful that cryptocurrencies give us not only money, but are also useful in real life.
When I traveled to countries where card-to-card money transfers are prohibited, I used USDT and LTC to receive and transfer money with my friends.
And I really liked the feeling that this is exactly how the meaning of cryptocurrencies was conceived: this is complete freedom from centralized and stupid laws.
After all, if I earn money myself, then why should I be limited in sending them?
I want to be free in this, and blockchain technology gives me this opportunity. I love the crypto world
