The traffic jam and stuck on blockchain is a pain in the ass, it forces bitcoin to be scale as soon as possible, if don't do that very soon, bitcoin will lose many users.

I don't think Bitcoin is dead, but I'd sure like to see a decent scaling solution implemented as soon as possible.
Having to deal with these high fees for weeks now really limits the ability to send small amounts.

I've been using Litecoin more often than before, I hope they'll get to the segwit activation threshold soon.
bitcoin main problem today is that the longer the time of the transaction. everyone must be very disappointed and some people have already left the bitcoin. but for most people they persisted to use bitcoin, because they believe that bitcoin will become a global payment media.

It's facing challenges with confirmation delays and huge fees but it is not dead so the doomsayers should excuse me. Just a little hitch and then you predict doom. Why don't you exercise some patience and let's try either segwit or BU or whatever fork or expansion of the block size before you conclude.

We have had many spikes and hikes in the history of Bitcoin, even huge ones like the difference between Dec. 2013 and the summer of 2015. The price difference was of +$700 and yet it didn't die. These things are happening with many currencies in the world, Bitcoin is the main virtual one. It won't die as soon as it is still usable, rare and partially untraceable, so used by many people that need safety.

Bitcoin/blockchain isn't dead. It's going through stunted growth pains due to the influence of self interested bad actors.

The author was just emotional about what happened to him. To express his emotions and disappointment to the current situation in terms of transaction confirmation he posted this kind of topic. But he is not serious about his post and the reason is because he is still doing a signature campaign and he is still expecting to be paid by bitcoins.

So yeah, yesterday I sent a transaction of 18$ to a guy, now when I told him to delivery service, he said I didn't send and when I checked it shows 0 transaction and 0 balance

Ok, and all transactions are getting unconfirmed with even 2$ fees, I have now to pay 1-10$ each time when send transaction also seems like blockchain is down, it doesn't show the balance when the transaction is left the wallet or so it double spend automatic

Well I have to say this is the end of the bitcoins, seems some merchant doesn't accept it anymore, well good job bitcoin dev.

We all have the same problem, the speed of confirmation, they are too slow, they are really dead, the blockchain is dying, it's a really bad thing. I am very disturbed, why do not they try to overcome, maybe they can not overcome it? They were everything, their technology was superior, but perhaps, they did not improve it, so it was dying.

Blockchain is good. It is future. But bitcoin is worse day by day.
it is all about the miners, they still refuse the segwit and it seems that they do not even care about this new technology. With segwit, many function will be upgraded, even the confirmation time. If it truly happens, we can happily hope that Bitcoin will become the next currency of our world and it will be certain that bitcoin will exist everywhere on this planet

use transaction that are not so big in size, you should do good with $0.5-$1 in fee, $2 is overkill most of the time

or use bitcoin only to send big transaction and not micro payment, until the consensus is reached on the block limit fix solution nothing else can be done

Very funny on how these people keep on telling that bitcoin will be dead very soon. It's enough people, accept your loss bitcoin is getting stronger.

And when it comes to the fees, it's just normal that the fees are getting higher because of the price last days is at the peek.

OP is just experiencing bad thing on bitcoin so he is telling that bitcoin is dead.

Bitcoin has been declared dead so many times now that it's somewhat of a joke: https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries/

Bitcoin is having growing pains. It's still new. It will do well over time.
As said it's still new which has gained popularity in a very short time period. As it is new only when problem arises it can be rectified. So when it experience small fall and rises again people should not get panic that it has failed or dead. The more problems overcome makes it stronger.

I just think if this is a FUD for the bitcoin itself. But can you prove your statement with your txid? And i don't really believe your word. Because yesterday i send my bitcoin with a cent fees and really fast. 15 minutes for a confirmation.

Merchant are not accepting bitcoin as a currencies because bitcoin is been treated as stock, gold and others commodity. But going through bitcoin white paper one can easily find out that bitcoin was created as a crypto currencies but people are now treating as property, this has gone in a long way of make investors to undermined bitcoin value.
that's definitely not the reason why they are not accepting bitcoins at the moment, the actual reason is that some people still don't trust bitcoins and think that they might have some troubles because of it what is just ridiculous, isn't it? Besides that bitcoins are still not adopted high enough by the people of the world thus it wouldn't be too profitable for merchants to accept it. However I cannot agree that bitcoin and blockchain is dead, because it is still pretty new and it is going to become bigger in the future.

Yep. It is huge problem for Bitcoin. Price is rise but service is decline, while customers have chance to choice other cheap and fast blockchain services.

This is not a reason to say that bitcoin is dead. There is still great potential for him. Just need to solve some technical issues with block size and network performance

How to resolve high fee? Interesting.  Wink Due to bitcoin halving, fee will high more in the future. If you don't pay good fee to miners, they will delay your transactions. I can't feed miner anymore. Blockchain is simple. Don't need expensive like POW. check it: https://medium.com/@lhartikk/a-blockchain-in-200-lines-of-code-963cc1cc0e54#.vh2h1mqat
