Totally agree. Bitcoin was not developed as a tool to quickly get rich. But it did bring wealth to a happy few. And today the perception of the mainstream is that you can make a fortune with Bitcoin. The whole idea of a decentralized currency is faded, people only think of the money they can make. Bitcoin is hardly used as a currency, we should be thankful to countries like Japan and work on further improvements.

Business not only in technology, but also in the number of the audience that is interested in bitcoin and technology will come of their own with the development of the community

I totally agree with you, we can't blame them though, bitcoin's price makes the most of us think that we could easily get rich by just earning it, it is true, that is why we are too focused on its price and doesn't care about the updates, and development of it which is very wrong. It is important to earn while we are learning in bitcoin, earning without learning sounds bad at all, it is like you are studying in school but you are not completely committed on it.

We have to be smart on using our bitcoin, and not just spending it on just some worthless things that could be set aside because it is not that needed. Knowing our wants and needs is important for us to know where we are going to spend our bitcoin.

I agree with you. Actually, I have observed that those people who are usually complaining about the current price of Bitcoin are mostly newbies. They thought that when they invested in Bitcoin, it will make them rich after a day. They don't know that it is not an easy money. They are always complaining. To all newbies out there, make sure that you make your own research first before you invest into something!

this is a very good phase though. people who have this mentality and only want the money will go out of the market, it is true that price may fall because of that as it has already but in the end those who are left can focus on important matters without the distraction of the high volatility.

but it won't last long. the volatility will come back and with it the get rich overnight guys.

Agree, it's unfortunate to see the community judge by looking at the price, not by the technical term. Probably because of mainstream lack of understanding Bitcoin in depth. I believe Bitcoin is still at an early age and still needs a lot of room for improvement, over the past year Bitcoin had been consolidation and this year Bitcoin pop out. I'm sure the next year is going to be more interesting, we can see how the market reach after done the first stage of movement.

Yes you have a point , but i think there are more bitcoin holders here care more about the price because that makes them earn and help them for a living. Maybe we can do it both at the same time.

Yes agree one hundred percent and as a developer I have looked at LN and it's a sticking plaster that won't hold
and whats killing the price is one line of code that's missing

public static money MaxFees=1.50// Goodbye 19,000 miners because we only need a few hundred of you

if the development team never understood the need to externalize the size of the blocks then they should not be writing code
and I am far from happy about the CPU wars S-M created with this mess he started and the energy waste or do you think that
he lacked vision  

I would have to agree that majority of the bitcoiner's mentality is really to earn and profit more in joining bitcoin considering that bitcoin is now on it's way to further enhancement its operation and technology as well. Being a bitcoin supporter, we need to be optimistic in this upcoming year wherein bitcoin should further grow in terms of market profitability.

We don't know when it is going to rise again, but we are all hoping that it will pump again this first week of January. All that we can do right now is to be patient on waiting and hold our bitcoins. Let's hope that bitcoin would make another All Time High price in 2018. It is really sad though to watch bitcoin's price is on $12,000 from $20,000, it is a really huge drop.

But no worries, it is normal because bitcoin's price is volatile meaning that we will really experience this kind of scenarios, there is nothing to be worry about like bitcoin is going to die, lol
