***Because the popularity of cryptocurrencies especially bitcoin is increasing.
Not really i don't see new friends using BTC as i was alone i am still alone with BTC knowledge and usage.
Current price was driven by ETF hype and covered PoBC once ETF is rejected you will see BTC price dropping like rock.
BTC without solution to transaction times will not last in Bull forever
To find new fool to buy bitcoin new people have to come into BTC since BTC is having scaling problem it can bounce of that wall and wall.
And look how stupid it is people come to Bitcoin because price is rising not because needed in real life.
So if price stops rising they will leave a party because bitcoin can not be scaled.
BTC devs calls alts test nets
... and they can not take long term decisions before hitting a rock (blocksize limit) we are at wall look :
https://blockchain.info/charts/avg-block-sizeIn last month we are hitting 1MB wall without any change that will cause bear market
maybe that is needed for miners/developers to change their minds and moves forward.
In biology those who can't evolve and suits to living conditions are not worth living like dinosaurs or outdated companies.
If bitcoin won't change it will end dead.
PS: If you want keep store of value status for bitcoin and cut of currency part it will make less demand for Bitcoin, less demand = lower price, lower price = less speculators want join in , no speculators = no store of value at end.
- I now that chain is long but true.
