how many currencies have died, revived and grow in value? probably only bitcoin...
you can check for updates on this at www.isbitcoindead.com Grin

yeah theres so many currency have died and i think that currency is the old currency in the world and they just let it died. And bitcoin will not because its life is only start with this time.

Yes we want it to grow as we are the part of bitcoin community but we cannot afford to be overconfident as you don't know what future awaits us. So it is not dead at a moment but the future of bitcoin mainly depends on the level of adoption and if the adoption doesn't goes higher then it will surely die.

camon people as most of you i missed the bitcoin worthing 1 dollar.... currently is worthing 200 dollars sure it had reached 1000dollars but well those were the explosion from bitcoin to the world.... soo how to say bitcoin is dead when it looks stable around 200 to 300 dollars worth..... if bitcoin didnt had achieve the 1000 dollars mark all would be pretty happy to have bitcoins at 200 dollars.

For a newcomer price doesn't matter really

You are definitely wrong on this. The first thing that attract people into wanting to know more about BTC is that its value, its significant price, no doubt about it and it has been some sort of measurement to measure if BTC is dead or no by some people indeed.
It is not about its chain technology and/or how secure it is but it is because of its value and to be honest most people will not even consider wanting to know about this thing if the price is only a few cents or lower (well it is not the same case with early adopter of course)

Yeah, as a newb all you care is making some money off BTC, but if you go a bit deeper -snip-

Too bad, people wont even go deeper for it because basically what attracts them are a thing that could help them to earn some quick bucks and thats all which makes the "value" became a measurement if BTC is dead or not. As a proof, you could check the entire forum on the question "how to sign a message from your address" , a simple yet outstanding feature that most people dont know

so one should not really count it as a real ATH, and the crash after it, explained it well, one cannot see a huge raise like that and then a crash that return the price to the original level

Sadly that has been a measurement for most people, whenever the value drop, people are saying it is dead but when the value is going up people are saying that it is bubble because of the "incident" on April 2013

Current situation is bizzarre.
Bitcoin is slowly going to nowhere. it's the lowest price since last 18 months.
And most user just talking about same stuff "right,but 3 years ago price was 20 usd".

That's the main bullshit.

It remindes me when laser disc or dat comes out!
All people said "that's the future!!!!!!" price skyrcocked,then slowly decreas for years, and then cames out CD. Noon4 use now laser discs or even dat. Just cd's or blue-ray disc.

Bitcoin is in the same situation...a dead man walking.

Hope situation will change fast.

besides the fact that the last ATH was a pure manipulation, so one should not really count it as a real ATH, and the crash after it, explained it well, one cannot see a huge raise like that and then a crash that return the price to the original level

it's like we are starting all over again from april 2013

Right. April 2013.

Yeah, as a newb all you care is making some money off BTC, but if you go a bit deeper you'll see Bitcon is interesting because it has an endpoint production so assuming the human race continues to be productive the currency should increase in value if it is pegged to the sum total of goods and services. Too bad most newbs will sell way too soon as soon as they get some BTC in exchange of some beermoney.

It cant be dead till people will hope in some worth of bitcoins. It is same like with "real" money now, you must hope that you can buy sometihng for them. So till there will be people with BTC shops, bitcoin will run probably. And these people you can see more day by day.

when the exchanges start going under that would be a rather clear sign it is failing. that would only leave users trading between themselves and at that point... well.. it has seriously declined and something to point at to say such.

but right now you can shop at many stores and the stores can get cash and all is well.

bitcoin is not dead and still alive until now even bitcoin price is pretty low now not but more people interested to use bitcoin everyday
and it is keeping bitcoin still alive maybe in the next 10 years

Its prices are down so everyone has started to believe that bitcoin is dead and the media is playing a major role in making bitcoin dead as they have the pressure from government to do so and people are very much influenced by media they just get carried away with the news without knowing the reality.

People should not think bitcoin is dead because it has a lower price. For a newcomer price doesn't matter really, he can just buy a bigger amount. It's sad if you wanted to resell higher, but made a bad investment decision however..

I know bitcoin has slumped 43 percent in the first weeks of 2015. 2015 is a rough time for bitcoin. But I don't think it's dead. All the other cryptocurrencies are going down with BTC, it's not like we're the only ones dying. I believe bitcoin can still have potential in the market because more and more people are using it. Whether it's private use, or commercial use, bitcoins is being excepted in a lot of places now. Once it stabilizes itself on the market, and becomes a more well known, everyday use, currency, then bitcoin can stay for a long time. Wink

Yes I don't think it is dead or dying. The value has lower down at the moment but it doesn't mean that it is dead and the reason behind it is the adoption level is not too high at this point as many of the countries are still not aware about the concept of bitcoin once they start knowing what bitcoin is and start accepting it I believe the value of bitcoin would be more stable.

It will be dead when no one trades it anymore, looks like we're getting there

this only if you think that bitcoin was born to be an instrument for investors only and not as a currency too, the latter should be more important , so as long as people use it, you cannot consider its death anyhow

they only look bitcoin as they want to look it. They only thinking that bitcoin is the process of trading not really currency or the internet money.
