Last year was $ 6 Millions on Black Friday.
If this year is $ 22 Million it is not bad (366%).
It is no bad if people remind the BTC exchange rate is 1/3 of a year ago at the same time.
People underwater with their bitcoins exchange rate would not be willing to spend them and would prefer spend their always and forever depreciating paper.

How much was 2 years ago?
It shows where Bitcoin currently is. 3-5 years more needed.

Price goes down, people say "See?  Bitcoin is being used as a currency!" .. price goes up "See?  Bitcoin is being bought!" .. price remains constant "See?  Bitcoin is stable!" ..

Like most people, they are not going to spend their BTC to buy things in fact they are going to buy it with fiat, that's what I did. They realized that BTC too valuable to buy things with right now

Why didn't you buy things with BTC then immediately replace the BTC that you had just spent? The USD value of BTC is very stable at the moment, so there is no risk in the short window of time involved.

The reason is that there is no utility in using BTC at the moment. We have tiny volumes of BTC transactions at the very peak of the online spending calendar, just before Christmas. Perhaps BTC will be useful to consumers in the future, but clearly it has no value at all to them at the moment. Not even for the most ardent believers in Bitcoin, such as you, 'bitcoinbelieve'.


I invested large portion of my saving into bitcoin and I don't regret it all b/c I realized that there is more upside than downside. In my opinion, I value bitcoin more than the fiat due to fact that it (value) WILL go up in the future as to fiat where the inflation is going to eat away the purchasing power.

I'm not sure if you are miner or not but it takes  me at least a month accumulate 1 btc (running 24*7), the reason why I brought this up is that I'm not going to buy items with bitcoin  b/c it will be stupid. It is cost effective to buy stuff with fiat than btc (currently).

"Why didn't you buy things with BTC then immediately replace the BTC that you had just spent".....That doesn't make sense, why would I incur fees when I could avoid it in the first place. To those who don't know, there is small fee you have to pay when you deposit or withdraw  btc to fiat or vice versa.

Bitcoin is well undervalued for various reason but main contribution factor I believe is lack of  infrastructure and also lack of mass adoption.

However, if you/we do not buy with BTC in the future, it is worthless.

I don't think the BTC would ever become worthless in fact I think it will become more valuable than a gold in near future.

This is now an anti-semitic thread
Saying Jews are smarter than everyone else doesn't seem anti-Semitic to me.

It's Saturday now and the volume is only $ 18.5m. Black Friday's 3.5m extra volume is not too bad.

Well precisely. Hence my firm response to the little tinker.

It is increasing every year. With the bitcoin community growing, black Friday's importance will increase too.
