Hello guys,
To me, it seems pretty strange that people actually continues buying btc now...
I understood why they wanted to invest in btc before, after the Chyprus crisis, and all the articles in the media. But now?
I don't get it.
Bitcoin is useless, and will most likely never be used as a currency. I spent hours trying to get my first bitcoins (satoshi actually), and after working for ages, I only got 0.002 btc, which does not even allow me to proceed to a transaction (the fees are higherthan that amount
). When you compare it with CC or paypal, it seems that they are free to use in comparison! Not to mention the time required to actually proceed to a transaction which can be anything between 1 minute and ... 1 year (or more?).
The only possible reason I see people are buying btc is that they (truly) believe that the price will increase, and want to make more profit. I think that 99.99 % of the bitcoins exchanged are never withdrawn from the exchangers, and the people are only waiting to make some profits. What makes them believe that the price will rise? Because the amount of bitcoins is limited? Because lost coins can never be recovered? I have no clue.
An other problem is the "mining" part. Soon, the difficulty will increase, CPU and GPU mining will be useless. People will stop mining bitcoins and try LTC or something easy to get... The interest in btc will decrease.
Other issues:
- security. Not a single company was able to provide a "professional" service. Bitcoin-24 has a serious problem ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-24com-matching-engine-seems-broken-site-down-174600 ). Even mtgox was critized for the lags, problems with missing coins, money, delay, and so on ... The hacks are countless (you can see new topics about that every day ...).
I can't see anything positive about btc, and still can't get why people are buying it. Can any captain obvious explains? Thanks.
It's being utilized as a money everywhere. The rundown of traders that acknowledge bitcoins as installment develops significantly day by day. Exchanges are commonly checked in not over 10 minutes, and turn out to be computationally harder to fake or switch over the long haul. You can purchase bitcoins right now on any of the trades, and it's genuinely easy. I purchased around 20 BTC back when they were $13 dollars a piece, and got the money for on amid the underlying ascent to 90. At that point I grabbed more shabby ones at 75, and I'm clutching them. For what reason would I do that? Since I profited! Trouble builds BECAUSE more individuals are mining. In the event that individuals quit mining, trouble abatements, and mining turns out to be more beneficial. What's more, there are PLENTY of organizations that have not been imperiled. Organizations being imperiled doesn't present an issue with bitcoin itself, it gives an issue the organizations who are getting hacked, and their absence of security. To me, it seems pretty strange that people actually continues buying btc now...

In my opinion. There are certainly a number of factors that influence the bitcoin value
