Price fluctuations is killing bitcoin as price is the most important factor when it comes to bitcoin and if price falls then I think people hesitate in investing their money into it.

This fluctuation is a very bad thing. But in the end it is the community killing it self. So many scams, so many newcomers gone.
In the beginning i thought it was a bank cartel trying to hurt bitcoin, but these days it seems to me it is the community.

Skimmed the whole thread...
It's as if people here do not realize that 90% of Western economy is regulated, tax paying corporations, LLCs, etc.
No serious business is going to convert to a Gen 1.0, shady, anon developed cryptocurrency controlled by Chinese miners.

Gen 2.0 platforms like NXT, etc failed for the same reason.

But built-from-scratch Gen 3.0 networks like ETH are, in fact, being adopted by a plethora of major companies.

Bitcoin's problem is the whole "lipstick on a pig" syndrome...
Bolting complex shit onto a Gen 1.0 coin is a waste of time.

And "network effect" applies to Devs (not mythical consumers/hipsters)...
In mid-2016 there are probably more elite Devs working on Alts or Gen 3.0 than BTC.

I think bitcoin is fine as it is, as long as we find a solution to this blocksize cap soon. Because something needs do be done about it.

It's also the arrogance and stubbornness of bitcoin miners, thinking only of themselves (although that is what you would expect from a decentralised system)

We need to find the perfect balance of democracy and decentralization.

i don't think that anything kills bitcoins, only bitcoin users, with all these buying/selling, panic creating, it sometimes makes price to fall down to 350$ or lover as we know

maybe scammers kills bitcoin too as people leaves bitcoin and sells it, but i don't think that there are many scammers so that's not a big threat to bitcoin

I believe the long term issue going on with the bitcoin core and classic is one of the major factor which is killing in terms of growth.

If the Core implement the 2MB block size rise in the next few months, the bitcoin will not be killed.

In the words of the immortal jimbobway, only the users and the devs of Bitcoin can kill it. The devs seem to be trying real hard to kill it. Let's wait and see if they're successful.

agree with that,i'm also thought that the only way to kill bitcoin is killed by developer,investor and user of bitcoin,they can do anything to bitcoin,even control the price. imagine if they have a plan to dump bitcoin until the price lower than etherum,maybe people will more likely adopt Etherum.

Just like you can't blame a bad neighborhood if you get mugged/raped. The neighborhood is just streets/[abandoned] buildings/poorly-lit alleys. And no jackbooted cops around.
Neighborhoods don't rape people, *people* [who hang in the hood] rape people.

This.
Otherwise it would just be an example of neighborhood discrimination. Judging poor neighborhoods by the dirty people who live there? How dare you!

Preachin' to the choir, brah. Got off the grid, kicked my bankster to the curb; living the dream!

We are the one who killed Bitcoin, if we always doubting Bitcoin then it will shut itself down.

Bitcoin can't shut itself down, nor can your doubt have a direct effect on whether it is 'up' or 'down'.

If we have proper insured business dealing with bitcoin, then we will not get scammed. But that is long way away.

Well, technically there is always a small chance of a possible scam. However, experienced users should usually not have a problem with this (only in rare cases; e.g. someone very trustworthy ends up scamming). I wouldn't say that scams are a big problem for Bitcoin.

An hour later I read an article about R3 partnering with Microsoft so that they can work with Ethereum and Ripple.

Ethereum is a platform. Ripple is horrible.

but maybe altcoins have a chance who knows with the way it's going.

Only for people who hope to get rich quickly because they've missed the initial 'Bitcoin train'. It is highly unlikely that one is going to come close to Bitcoin in terms of adoption in the foreseeable future.

I think not having a central control for bitcoin causes some problems.

This has to be some sort of bad joke as this is wrong on many levels.

Quote from: Laosai on April 04, 2016, 06:32:34 PM

Dude! Not having a central control for bitcoin is the absolute base of bitcoin! It's like you were complaining it's a decentralized digital currency ><

FTFY and I concur.

I think time is killing bitcoin... as we are approaching the next phase of bitcoin growth, if we are unable to solve the blocksize issues, bitcoin will died slowly. However, if we work together and overcome the obstacles, time is going to be with us....

yeah, time, aggre with that. as time goes, there's should be a new tech, a new kind of money, a new kind of transaction that will kill bitcoin, IMO
