To me it definitly matters.

If it didn't how else would I know when to trade/buy/sell/dump/pump

Wouldn't make sense to me, but I guess from I could understand from someone elses point of view that if they're not doing any of the above they could just keep it in a wallet and leave it there.

If you are into Bitcoin to make a profit, then it matters, but for every day use, no it doesn't really matter

In that case, it matters to me I guess. I'm investing into Bitcoin to make profits. I think it does matter even for everyday uses. If you mean by paying a bill or buying groceries I think you still have to buy your countries currency, unless you're able to buy all of that online.

Depends
If you use it to transfer money it doesn't matter at all.
You buy bitcoin and send it to a relative. They sell it to pay rent and things like that.
The price could go down to 1$ and it would still be just as useful as if the price was 500

If you are into Bitcoin to make a profit, then it matters, but for every day use, no it doesn't really matter

Grow SMALL amount of BTC by earning it
November 27, 2015, 08:18:37 AM
Price of Bitcoin does matter a lot for now. Many merchants and sites uses fiat to base the amount of Bitcoin to pay and fiat is definitely the most accepted form of currency in the world right now. If the price drops, Bitcoiners would have to pay more and would be at the losing end. This would be the case till Bitcoin becomes widely adopted and people aren't using fiat as a reference.

I think the price does matter for the people who are actively trading it.

For these who are hoping bitcoin will become mainstreeam as a method of payment and a store of value, I think the price stability should matter much more.

The price of bitcoin is everything. It's all that matters. Until we can get about 100M people owning BTC then we can create bitcoin-only economies where BTC vs USD won't matter and we'll solve the volatility issue once and for all.

100 million people using bitcoin can be considered mainstream adoption. as long as bitcoin is connected to fiat, the price will always matter.

i would only consider 1B at least to be very mainstream adoption phase, 100M still put us in the range 5k-10k range at most

with 1B you can elevate that in the 10k-100k range easily

The value of bitcoin matters ,the most of us joined into the bitcoin world because the dreams of bitcoin be at 1000 dollars and above.For me i consider bitcoin as a extra way to get revenue from internet,that for me were very hard to achieve 5 dollar montly or get paid from my work,believe  me before bitcoin the most of people werent able to make more then 10 dollars montly alone cliking ,surfing,without referals is impossible to has a good income online.

The value of bitcoins does matters to each and everyone of us, Sometimes I feel that I am late into bitcoins but sometimes I feel that I entered at the right time, As when I bought my first bitcoins the value was around $220 and that suggests that I am already in profits at a moment, but yes we want bitcoins should reach $1k.

Of course the price matters. But I'm sure it does not matter for everyone in the same extent.
The more coins you have the less increase in price you need to become wealthy, if that is what you want.
And I believe many are looking for that.
The price also matters for traders.And they love volatility.The bigger that is the more money they can make.
For libertarians this might be different. Just having an opportunity to buy and pay goods without the need of the financial incumbents and having full control of their money make them more as happy.Monetary sovereignty!

those saying that the price dont matter must be lying. everybody holds bitcoin to have some value and most are investors in bitcoin. Those saying what matters is the trend, isn't that trend related to the price? to me the price matters a lot

Yes it does matter. People who say it doesn't matter are either really rich or don't know what they're talking about. How would you know when to invest into bitcoin if you don't know the fiat value?

I think price stability is an important thing. If it is too volatile a lot of main stream businesses will stay clear of it.  The best would be largely stable with a slow upwards trend.

Price only matters if you hold bitcoin currently or if you are planning on buying some at the current rate.
If you don't have any in your possession why would you obsess about the price at all  Huh
It is just like watching the worth of gold on the exchanges but you don't have any.

Well, it really matters about what you're using your bitcoin for. If it's for:

Short-Term Investment - Price matters
Long-Term Investment - Price doesn't matter, the trend matters.
Everyday Spending - Does not really matter


But if you are a fully invested bitcoin enthusiast, price really matters, as if bitcoin crashes, youre basically homeless. No money left. Zip, Nada.

The price of bitcoin becomes a concern especially those who have invested little dollars in the trading pool. You however not find the people who have invested in dollars taking into consideration the price issue. They are concerned about the worthiness and the returns when it comes to the worst case scenario. I therefore say that the whole issue is dependable on each and every individual. Personally, I will say that price will matter since it depicts the amount in temrs of profit that is expected when you sell.
