Crash from 1200$ seems pretty normal to me if you consider it a tulip like bubble that has popped once and for all. Embarrassed

Crash from $32 seems pretty normal to me if you consider it a tulip like bubble that has popped once and for all. Embarrassed

(heard circa late 2012)

I remember it, crash from $32 to $2
But, some people don't care about it & said bitcoin price will rise up again

And that's true

Ever since Satoshi Nakamoto published the world’s first paper on bitcoin in 2008, many inquisitive folks have salivated at the ultimate promise of the cryptocurrency: privacy.

Privacy and efficiency.

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Bitcoin trading and speculation, so bear with me. Is this REALLY a dump? Barring anything
crazy, it seems like a normal lifecycle to me. Think about it:

Stage 1: Bitcoin's infancy. Low dollar value, little hype, little mainstream adoption

Stage 2: Bitcoin bubble. Sky rocketing dollar value, all kinds of hype, increased mainstream adoption

Stage 3: Bitcoin bubble "bursts". Prices fall. Mainstream adoption continues to climb.

Stage 4: Bitcoin prices level out, higher than in its infancy but much lower than during the bubble.

It seems to me that we're in Stage 4 which, while not great news for traders cashing in on the rises and dips in the market, bodes
extremely well for increased mainstream adoption. I think part of the aversion to Bitcoin adoption has been its volatility. The very
thing that made it so attractive to traders scared the hell out of merchants. IMO if Bitcoin attains and holds a fairly steady dollar
value, more merchants and service providers will be likely to adopt it.

At least that's how I'm seeing it. If I am wrong, someone please let me know and explain to me why.

Cheers!

I believe mainly here still goes back to demand and supply side. Don't forget every new coins by the miner to the open market have to be bought. And that haven't include coins by existing holder who decides to sell off. If the demand is not picking up eventually people will undercut each others price to sell lower. And that will continue as long as it doesn't go below mining cost. The only thing we can see in light is some news event by big companies to announce adoption or integration or we just wait for the next halving to take place when supply factor goes down.

it took a billion years untill people slowly started using dollars , it's only been a few years since bitcoin existed , just be patient. People will realise how revolutionary cryptocurrencies are and that's when we'll start seeing uptrends.

The price is quite stable at the moment. Up or down a bit is quite normal.

If privacy really is the ultimate promise of cryptocurrency, and I believe it is, then Bitcoin is pretty much out of the game.

Why do you think so?

Because it has a transparent blockchain. Why would I want to make my transaction history available to anyone who cares to look?

It is there to make sure that every transaction in the whole chain is "clean" at the least, and no double spending or whatsoever occurs within the entire blockchain. Well even if the whole transactions are transparent as you say, still people will have a hard time remembering all those strings of numbers for addresses and anytime they can change their addresses to a new one, so as to add another layer of security to their own holdings.

As far as I know the ring signature technology with monero allows for totally anonymous transactions without the need of a public ledger (blockchain).

There is a saying in my country that goes like; you can learn an old horse new tricks.
Every change requires time, and changing fundamental centralised financial system to open decentralised, where the rare few people cant make
provisions for doing nothing requires a bit more than just 5 years the bitcoin has now.

Funny, I thought the main point was that it isn't counterfeitable.

Privacy the ultimate promise? Maybe that was the intent of the original devs but if that's true then they really didn't think it through very well

You don't have to give any of your personal details to have an account, do you? Are there any restrictions to using bitcoin? Do you know my name from my bitcoin address? No. So it does it's job very well in that respect.

Privacy is not the ultimate cryptocurrency. you need to read about how crypto is good for so many things.
