DviouS Posted January 19, 2019 #1 Posted January 19, 2019 “Mastering Bitcoin” author Andreas Antonopoulos was recently a guest on Trace Mayer’s Bitcoin Knowledge Podcast, where the two longtime Bitcoin advocates discussed the current state of Bitcoin and how much the technology has grown over the past eight years. Near the end of their discussion, Antonopoulos made the point that Bitcoin is stronger than ever and all of the drama in the community needs to be ignored. I think the most important thing is to try to objectively look at what’s really important in the Bitcoin space, which is the technology,” said Antonopoulos. “Try to not be discouraged by a lot of the extraneous drama that’s going on. In my mind, a lot of the drama is distracting from the real progress that’s being made.” Bitcoin is stronger than ever. Bitcoin has never been as diverse or distributed as it is today. The “Mastering Bitcoin” author, said he was impressed with the large amount of technological innovation that has taken place.. I'd be inclined to agree with him Bitcoin also recently achieved an all-time high for confirmed transactions in a single day on January 5, and despite the recent drop, the bitcoin price has nearly doubled since early 2016. Some of the Drama Is Manufactured to Be Divisive With such a large amount of drama going on in the Bitcoin community, a lot of people are convinced that at least some of it is coming from nefarious actors. All too often people can get caught up in the drama, and I do believe that a certain percentage of that drama is manufactured to be divisive Antonopoulos went on to note that every grassroots movement and disruptive organization in history has had infiltrators and provocateurs who are paid to cause turmoil. “It would be naive to assume that Bitcoin is the first one where that isn’t happening,” he added. While there is a lot of infighting among the core Bitcoin community, it’s unclear if most users are even aware of it. Many end users may be more concerned with whether or not the technology works. “There are billions of people that are still unbanked, and they don’t care about the petty squabbles of who insulted who and called the other person the wrong name,” said Antonopoulos. Antonopoulos’s advice to the Bitcoin community was simply to keep innovating on the technology if they want to see it succeed over the long-term. I tried to keep the parts quoted as best as I could, but these guru's appear to be very comfortable where bitcoin is right now... I hear alot of talk and worry about the position of bitcoin, and I thought I would shed some light on what experts seem to think
Kate Posted January 19, 2019 #2 Posted January 19, 2019 In terms of technology indeed Bitcoin has grown and has become stronger but in terms of investment and price it has suddenly become weak. If bitcoin achieves the price factor then we are looking at a brand new blockchain world ladies and gentlemen.
wry Posted January 19, 2019 #3 Posted January 19, 2019 Yes, I still believe in the Bitcoin project, but the long steady price drop has curbed a lot of people's excitement for it. I've come to trust less and less in guru's, but hope they are right about this.
Bigmann23 Posted January 31, 2019 #4 Posted January 31, 2019 that last rise and the hard fall after left a lot of people thinking it would happen again soon and when it didnt i think a lot lost faith in btc but it will rise again if you just hold in there
