When the price rises sharply, it will attract people's attention. Similarly, when the bubble bursts, it can also attract people's interest. Those who have been belittle the bitcoin before can come out and claim that "the one that I said before is correct, those who buy bitcoin are idiots."

Yes, https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/ reached a new milestone, when it reached a subscriber base above 1 million users. Even though the price are dropping, people still subscribe to one of the most popular communities on Reddit.  

It is debateable if these subscribers are all new users that are interested in Bitcoin or if it is people who subscribed to "bash" and "attack" bitcoin. If you look at the childish comments of a lot of them, it just looks like a bunch of shills and butthurt coiners that wants to lash out against Bitcoin.  

As the saying goes "strike while the iron is hot" when price is in downfall maybe it's time to grab the opportunity to buy and hold it for long term for time comes that price would increase then it will sure earn profit.

i wouldn't really consider a reddit sub as a good indication of "good news" or "adoption" of bitcoin although it shows that too. mostly social media is filled with spammers and trolls rather than proving anything about adoption which can then be considered good news.
for that you have to check how many merchants are accepting bitcoin, how many transactions are being processed, how many full nodes there are, and the newest thing is: how many LN nodes with how much capacity is there

you can never stop bitcoin adoption. it will always grow. all they can do is to slow it down sometimes but it will continue to happen and this is only one of many indications of the growth of adoption all around the world. but let's not forget that the recent price drop has made a lot of newbie traders ultra active recently which you can also see on this forum, they make lots of accounts on every social media platform such as bitcointalk and reddit,... then start spreading nonsense about bitcoin thinking they are spreading "FUD" because they hope to make profit but they can't trade like everyone else.

There is a lot at play at the moment, those who want the price to fall so
they can buy, those who want the price to rise, those who dont care
because they look to the future, those who made the wrong decisions
and who are sore. One thing I believe is that as soon as bitcoin
gathers momentum in a positive way everyone interested will jump
on board, it just hasnt started yet and could take a while too.

You can't say if the price continue dumped and go to 100$ per 1bitcoin what will we the funds will left by buying bitcoin and holding for a long-term lot of people already loss a big funds last year buying a high price of bitcoin and go to huge dumped in january 2018.

Of course there are still many people interested for Bitcoin who will not give up so easily. Primarily those are users who are involved with Bitcoin for quite a time and profit is not their only interest. They are also well aware that trends in Bitcoin price are changing easily and that volatility is something that you can't avoid.
True Bitcoin supporters will stay faithful to Bitcoin no matter the temporary issues.

Theymos simply is an early adopter, and a person who knows much about computer science, programming and cryptography in general. It's hard to link him to Satoshi Nakamoto especially since their posting habits, alongside the way they construct their posts is completely different. There had been rumors about that back in 2014-2016 IIRC and theymos just made a good joke about it (can't remember what the post exactly is). If anything though, it seems that Satoshi trusts theymos this much as he handed this forum administration to him.

I guess this is why theymos didn't implement the 'tag' feature for the forum, as he would certainly get a lot of it day by day

The main majority for the Bitcoin user who is person what like this. Actually every situation good time of the Bitcoin world.who like trading, investment as depends on mind access.but personally me now is the good time for the Bitcoin holders , because of the Bitcoin lower price.you can buy and will sale when come back profitable situation and Bitcoin price increase able.
