Topic: Why do you deny evidence? bitcoin has deluded all us - page 2. (Read 4535 times)

I just feel bad for those who bought bitcoins at the high rate of $1000 as they must have incurred such a huge loss as since about a year, the price has never reached even $350 and now it seems it will take another year to reach $300. I just do not want the rate to go blow $250.

I see many idealists still thinking in a future rise. Why? The only real rise of bitcoin was due to a bubble, simply a bubble which lasted all 2013? from that bubble we always thought that was a trend, it was not. We and I were all super enthusiastic. None could forecast that after almost 2.years bitcoin was worth less than before. Tell yourself the truth do not try to convince about what you would like it to be. Actually people are NOT interested in using bitcoin. Yes banks are evil, sure, devil itself, but people like simplicity, many people are...how can I say? stupid and get used to their simple things.  Most people do not like to change. And they do not like to risk. There is no real reason why bitcoin should be mass adopted...to do what? Send money to someone, something you could do with very small fees (I can assure you I constantly do bank transfers I usually spend 1 euro whatever the bank transfer is) doing it A LONE with no warranty? knowing that a small minimal error, a hacker, a sudden Loss in value, could make you lose everything or a big part of your money?   as you see its nonsense.
There will be neither mass adoption nor total failure. Bitcoin will still be used for some years by some nerds, and it will get slowly less and less valuable until it will be finally forgotten, buried in some history book in the chapter ".utopias".  See history. How many utopias (political economical etc) have realised, how many failed soon or.after?  I know it's a good dream but we should wake up until it's to late... bitcoin will slowly be forgotten.

I think bitcoin will never be used from all the people who live in the World, because some people have not an internet connection (and obvious) don't know how to use a pc or another device. Other people never used a Credit/debit card and they are accustomed to use only cash.

I think (instead) bitcoin will be a good alternative to send a large quantity of money without the use of any bank and obviously with the lowest fee in the world, the immediate, the not possible to make chargeback , and a lot of other good quality that the FIAT value doesn't "own".


Remember  "everyone has a right to issue his own money".

Do animals at the zoo only prefer living there because they cant live in their natural habitat?
People use fiat because they think they dont have a choice.

Its up to people to educate themselves in an effort to stop their own financial enslavement.
We as a community can help them by spreading the truth about how fiat works.
If the avg Joe knew how the banking system and debt really work, they would flock to bitcoin like Chinese tourist to Las Vegas.

Kind of misleading. I don't think it will be dead or forgotten anytime soon. Talk about mass adoption, I'm sure it will be there some day. It just takes time. If you track the progress it has made compared to 5 years ago which practically worth almost close to nothing, you can obviously see the difference. I guess there's no point trying to convince someone who has lost faith.

There are no problems with Bitcoin. There are only problems with people.

As what I seen, some people still need help turning a PC on, but for the average person they can barely use one :p.

bitcoin is good, bitcoin is ok, only problems now is related to its adoption and taxes, which cause major trouble to people , because they need to keep track of every transactions ecc....

those thread bring nothing useful really

I think the OP is right - in the sense that people prefer Comfortable and Convenient.

Crypto currency is more than just a "new way to do something on the internet", like Facebook and Amazon. It's a paradigm in itself, as new to the world as the internet was in 1997.

The exitement around Bitcoin is valid. Valid as Napster.

If bitcoin goes whole-world (meaning: the day your grandparents have wallets) it will be "i-Tuned".

Regulation will come. Just make your money before the suits ruin it.

Bitcoin will get simpler. Just like computers did. Don't need to be a genius to work one nowadays do you?
