I think the Op is trying to say that current users and especially the ones from India and China, do not understand btc, all they saw a loophole and they used it fully. That's a valid concern and I. Don't think he is wrong to voice it out, this has actually spooked the btc price and yes one could say users have increased, people are using but this are temporary and they shall exit leaving a hole in the Bitcoin and we all should be ready to brace for a storm.

Investors is always caring about their money that i think they are care about bitcoin since the price of bitcoin hit above $1k value and now the price of bitcoin drop but i think they are already exchange their bitcoin so that they can buy bitcoins again back because there s a new spike and the price is increase again back to 900 value and pushing back to 1k value.. so those investors area always care about bitcoin because of the fast movement of the price..

This actualy makes no sense. I think they do care for Bitcoin but things have changed and investment techiques and methods and investment goals are different. Maybe the investors are also more careful, more cautious, not so easy with giving away their money but they are still there and investing.

Today's investors do not care about bitcoin? Have not hear such strange thing so far. The price of bitcoin the last of three months and the volume of trade of bitcoin in all the biggest or not exchanges seems that testify the opposite.

Today's investors do not care about Bitcoin? How I must understand this? Who made bitcoin? investor ? Of course not, the point is not about caring, investors must manipulate with bitcoin price. Investor need profit from bitcoin, why I'm an investor? Because I care bitcoin

We shall not hide from the difficulties. The blockchain will be 100 go before the end of winter, but nobody cares about that.

BTC has problems. Scalability's being the biggest one. I remember Mike Hearn saying that BTC has failed, a year ago. We may not like him, but the problems he talked about were real, and still aren't solved. Far from it. SegWit looked like a promising solution, but after 6 weeks, it has less than 30% support, with barely 4% gained in the last 30 days. At this rate, it will take years for SegWit to pass. Is there a plan B?

Cautious investors like me are waiting for a clearer future before buying anymore BTC, but to my great surprise, BTC keeps on going up and up. So I have the feeling that the people from China or India (or other places) who are pushing up the price just don't care about BTC. They just want to escape their country's regulations, or failing currency, and that's not good.

I got in the BTC bandwagon because I believed in a decentralized government-free currency, but those newcomers just got in because they saw an opportunity for fleeing. They might flee again fast if somehow they lose confidence in BTC.

As a rule of thumb, slow, stable growth is always better to sudden quick changes.

We have a roadmap, the core devs want to increase the blocksize, but we must activate segwit first to avoid certain exploitable glitches that could happen if we raise the blocksize without segwit, so start trying to convince miners to activate segwit. We will never get anywhere without segwit, it's the reality of things here.

Of course, there are paid gov agents that know it, thats why there are anti segwit trolls, but we will defeat them.

And even if segwit never happens, we still have bitcoin as a better gold with the currenct characteristics, this fact alone makes BTC extremely undervalued. A better gold should be sitting at 6 figures per coin.

8 years of international financial transactions, fitting on the same size as a fingernail.

This. Its highly unlikely data storage will ever become a serious problem for bitcoin.

If bitcoin needs us to care about it then we might as well scrap this shit idea now and move on.

Exactly. If bitcoin can not handle the way its being used by the people then bitcoin simply would not be the great invention we think it is. Therefore there would be no using in preserving it.

OP, place yourself in the shoes of the people you are talking about, and be honest in your answer. Given the situation that they are under now, and if you were in their shoes, would you not do the same? Would you care about the technology, if your wealth were in danger?

Let's swap hats and see if we can really blame them for everything. ^hmmmm^

A true investor would capitalize on this situation, and take the opportunity to make some profits whilst the markets are in turmoil.

Good point! I guess I could have done the same thing, but this is no investment, nor any sign of support towards BTC.

I make the difference between investor and speculator. I'm an investor, which means I'm checking BTC's price once or twice a month. I'm playing long term, with no plan to sell my BTC this decade (except for small expenses like on Fiverr).
The real question is, does it really matter if they do not support BTC or have respect for the underlying technology?

As long as those people are using BTC, either as a short term safe haven for their funds or as a temporary replacement of their own country's fiat currency, it's still beneficial for Bitcoin itself.

I would also argue that for every 1000 new users or so, there is a certain percentage of them that will stick around, so any influx of new users is definitely a good thing for Bitcoin. Even if only 5 or 10 percent of them stick around long term.

That is a given fact that probably 99% of bitcoin users all around the globe doesnt understand bitcoin, but they care about bitcoin thats why they are using and purchasing bitcoin. The reason for them not looking on bitcoin on the background is because not all people are technical about how bitcoin works. How can we be concerned on things that are out of our understanding, isn't it?  What they understand is that bitcoin is good currency, it is profitable and it is much better than fiat.

In short, they do care about bitcoins its just that they dont understand everything about bitcoin.

Because of bitcoins has problem about difficulties, scalability's being the biggest one, doesn't mean the investors do not care about that or don't know about that, actually the investors are speculator.
They know about investing into bitcoin, the risk and beneficial of that. Mostly of investors just are looking for profit, they are not developers of bitcoins.

you want to buy Bitcoin with Segvit and Lightningnetwork and with a clear future, and at this price? this will not happen, and when everything is clear and well-well, then you will buy at least 3000$ for Bitcoin

In fact, it all depends on market expectations. Maybe the average expectation is upon a resolution of all questions, with an "X" probability. If it proves right, bitcoin price may surge much more, to some thousands of dollars. If it proves wrong, then it might go back the $200 and below, as better alternatives (other cryptocurrencies) emerge. The scenario here is very uncertain.
Other cryptocurrencies such as? where is this back to $200 comes from that I keep seeing today? bitcoin should care about people and investors not the other way, but to this date it has because if it didn't then we wouldn't be here bitcoin is doing so many things for us but there are many people only focusing on their own gains and never cared what happens in the long run, I wouldn't lose faith in bitcoin if it drops not as  long as profit can be made from mining and running nodes since without them there will be no bitcoin.

Why do you care if people care about bitcoin or not, Bitcoin does not care if we care or not !  it either works or it dosnt.  If bitcoin needs us to care about it then we might as well scrap this shit idea now and move on.  The fact is it does not need us to care wither it works or not, it needs us to use it and help improve it so that it can be more robust.

All investors of bitcoin haven't faced loss than profit. From the days several issues have got raised on scalability, but to overcome it updation were done. But that too won't give the output in a short period, if its a failure then it could have been down from the days when Mike Hearn revealed about it.
