After quite turbulent events during the last few years, I somehow feel BTC economy s been slowing down a bit. Maybe people are losing interest after not seeing those price jumps/decreases which we witnessed in the past. I know statistics ll probably dispute my claims but this is just my feeling. How do you feel about it, are people still into BTC?

Bitcoin is like the web crawler. It opened a lot of doors, but the Google's of the future are in the alternative currency section of the forum.

Bitcoin isn't a bubble. It's the pin!

I also think BTC has slowed down.. But i dont think it will stay this way for long

OP, all the previous bubbles had 'cooldowns' of significantly more time then it took to form the bubble.
Bitcoin always went 'dark' before it exploded in more popularity ... I suspect thats where we are again ... gearing up for round 4 =)
Of course we could be in this rut for quite a long time then the others, who knows.
It was a good 1.5-2years from the $30 bubble to the $266 =) , in between we were stuck between $2-$10

We are in the 1994 phase of the interenet IMO.

The phase everyone thought that is as far as the web goes.. no where.

I currently have a phone in my hand connected to the web more powerful than any computer from 94.

Hands of steel, HODL your wealth in your own hands.

Yes, I ve been hearing that story for the last 2 years. But somehow I feel there hasn't been many new entrants to the market for the last couple of months. Maybe its me.

I'm optimistic. Two years ago, I'd have said we were in the 1992 phase.

The first rocket was launched, we got bitcoins to space and they came down successfully. There were some tragedies along the way.

But now, we learn from this experience. Work has been started on constructing an interplanetary spaceship. It's being prepped, fuelled, tweaked and adjusted. Sometimes, it's even taken for a little test flight, usually ending in a crash landing.

But... One day. One day, we shall FLY.

...

Maybe it has. But there are lots of things being built that can enable further, actually useful, economies, so I remain hopeful.

Think of something like OpenBazaar. Development may be slow. But, I think ideas like that have huge potential. Though it may take years for it to gain any large amount of adoption.

Some times ago people were complaining about the lack of price stability. Now people start missing the roller coaster? Price is still very volatile imo. Anyways, as long as the number of BTC users is going up, we're still good. Even if the rate slows down at times!

There is a lot of negativity surrounding Bitcoin right now. Mt Gox, Sheep Market Place, Silk Road, Silk Road 2.0, to name a few. A large majority of the public thinks that it is risky to own Bitcoins. And those who think otherwise are discouraged from collecting coins by the frequent robberies and hacks. It is anyone's guess on who is waging the propaganda war against BTC.....

Yes, I feel the same way. Do you think these investment funds which we all expect this year might improve the situation? If not, what can?
