It will take time for Bitcoin to be fully adopted around the world and become a standard.

I trust Bitcoin and guess what it can do.

Even if governments or some people disparage it, they are a minority and unaware of the power of technology.

Even those who think that Bitcoin is a ponzi are now beginning to be aware of this technology and its faults.

The technological conveniences and economic freedom that Bitcoin offers us is priceless.

We will be the ones who will raise it, and we will ensure this with more people entering this community.

The desperation of states to impose sanctions is clearly evident.

But states now want to issue their own tokens because now they too are trying to understand.

After all, if something is going to bring me value and contribute a lot, I should support that thing.

Let's see the beauties that Bitcoin provides us and overcome the problems together.

They could have stopped Bitcoin in time, they ignored it but now it continues to break through all the hurdles and offer people better alternatives.

As people embrace these alternatives and compare the harms of centralization, the number of users will increase rapidly, which is already happening and is happening fast.

For those who are pro-centralization, I describe Bitcoin as an "unpredictable enemy", you cannot act against something you cannot foresee, just like the Corona virus, it is slowly spreading and becoming unstoppable.

I have full confidence in Bitcoin because it looks like a star whose future is definitely bright and will not fade easily. I don't see any sanctions that will knock Bitcoin down in the long run, but they can do some damage with funny sanctions. But this too will be repaired and strengthened over time as it is now.

Thanks for the article.

Those who think they can stop bitcoin are just people living in a fantasy world, ignore them.

We need to know this best, we have been in the crypto exchange for a long time. we know how big money is being made, we know that new technologies are coming out.

of course, btc will not end. (unless the apocalypse does not break)

I trust BTC so much that sometimes I wish I had more money but bought more BTC. Never mind the people who denigrate btc, if they are vilifying btc then we are on the right track

I think Bitcoin can be stopped. But it's pretty risky. If states attack with all their might, they can destroy it.

But this is gambling. States can win. But if bitcoin wins this battle, then the states will lose power very seriously.

That's why States shouldn't try to stop it. That's why they make small attacks. But these only make bitcoin stronger.

Electricity was an excuse for Yesil energy. Bitcoin beats that. He's stronger now. A constant obstacle. And after every hurdle there is a stronger bitcoin.

Thanks for the nice post. A good article about the shortcomings of bitcoin. It's important to see what's missing. We're not just an advocate. To be able to see everything from a broad perspective.

It is impossible to foresee such things. Even tracing back to days where internet was quite popular, between 2007-2010, I wouldn't imagine these days now we are living. Now our every need is one click away, and new generation is being born into this which means they don't need to adapt. In fact, I believe they will step up and we will see the things we wouldn't imagine in upcoming years. I believe that it is an unending cycle; first people didn't believe in internet but younger generations assimilated it and we are here now, the same thing applies to Bitcoin, moreover it will apply to the next thing that we don't know yet.

These theories will be around anytime, anywhere since there are conspiracy theorists around, but they will never happen. I think introduction of aliens to world is more likely rather than these stated scenarios.

Thanks for bringing this decent article and making us think.

I don't know most things. I'm not sure about most things. But there is one thing I know for sure. Nothing in this life is constant.

There was no money in the past. People traded. Give me an egg, I'll give you a watermelon. Then he was replaced by money. Easier was more logical. It'll be over with the money.

In fact, people are switching to Bitcoin right now. Because now it seems to be the technology of the future that retains its value.

Bitcoin has a life, too. At least I know it's not over for now. It'll continue until something takes its place. And we have to take advantage of Bitcoin and blockchain until something takes its place.

Personally, addiction is a terrible thing. It's not just cigarettes or alcohol. Connect to someone or connect to something. It's all bad. Bitcoin is the current and future technology. But if we don't criticize things, we can't improve. Because we think we're the best. This problem is also caused by the community. The community that doesn't criticize bitcoin actually does harm. That's why I really liked your article.

Although powerful, it is not impossible to stop Bitcoin. You have to be careful with these. If we want to protect our technology and our future, we must act before the states. We must find and correct mistakes. At least we can keep him alive longer.

Thanks for the article.

Have a nice day.

bitcoin is not as weak and unsupported as it was in 2017. There are more knowledgeable investors behind it.

Most importantly, most of the Global companies are behind this technology.

How can they stop a technology that could not be destroyed even back then?

Why would you oppose it instead of supporting a technology that increases the living standards of humanity anyway?

Anyway, when that day comes, I want to see the expression on their face.

Thanks for the article and information.

When I talk to a friend about bitcoin, I always talk about how secure bitcoin is and can never be stopped.

but is it actually so?

As we have seen in the three items you have mentioned above, it may not be so.

Stopping, blocking bitcoin is "unlikely, but still possible".

As a bitcoin fan and advocate, I read your article with great pleasure.

You made me look at it from different angles.

"become part of the aliens' galactic trading empire"

i like this idea :))

Thanks for your great article.

I'm not even sure where I was 12 years ago and what I was doing. Bitcoin has been around for a very long time, and this is the first time I've gotten so into it this year.

If I could go back 12 years and live again, I wouldn't be able to predict today. This is truly an incredible revolution. In fact, this could apply to anything. It also applies to things that have just entered our lives or that have not yet entered our lives. Technology is developing and changing, and we are trying to keep up.

Bitcoin is now unstoppable. It will continue to stay in our lives much stronger.

It was a delightful article, it took me back to the past and made me think. thanks!

They have to keep up with Bitcoin or they will be defeated,

The answer to the title: Nothing!

Bitcoin has made incredible progress since its debut. Was it predictable? I do not think so. New technologies come into our lives and we get used to them. Bitcoin stands very strongly among them. Maybe Bitcoin could have been stopped as you said when it first came out. maybe.

But I don't think that's possible anymore. It is getting more impossible every day. Bitcoin and crypto are getting stronger every day!

Thanks for the article!

Bitcoin is the most open financial system to date.

Even without a banking system, you can pay 24/7 with Bitcoin anywhere in the world.

International money transfers with Bitcoins can be faster and cheaper than traditional banking and banking services.

Bitcoin is the only asset ever created and cannot be taken away.

Also, since BTC transactions are uncensored, no one can stop you from trading.

Bitcoin is anonymous and anyone can open their wallet online without any verification or credit history.

It is especially useful in underserved bank areas and third world countries where most people struggle to make money.

You can spend Bitcoins from a desktop computer, a mobile phone, or a debit card the same way you would spend traditional digital money.

Unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoins are deflationary, meaning their value is set to valuation by design.

Bitcoin is the most portable asset ever created, it can be transmitted via satellites and even radio waves.

Bitcoin also has valuable features for businesses such as multi-signature authorization and accounting transparency.

Multi-signature means that several people have to log out in a payment, which provides more security.

And the nature of a blockchain where all transactions are public, increases the transparency of a business.

Compared to other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin has the most brand awareness, liquidity, as well as the most developed ecosystem and the most accepted among various retailers and organizations.

The Lightning Network allows the use of Bitcoin for small, low-cost everyday retail transactions, such as tipping someone online or buying tea and groceries.

Bitcoin introduces the concept of programmable money, which provides additional financial innovations such as "smart contracts".

Bitcoin breaks the monopoly of money by offering an alternative to people who do not trust their governments, some institutions, politicians or just believe in decentralization.

In short, there seems to be nothing that can stand in the way of Bitcoin.

I have said it many times and will keep saying it

One can't stop a revolution you can just extend the time but can't stop and same applies for BTC.

Bitcoin's dominance gets stronger every day. It's the point of reference of the crypto world. I don't think there's anything that can make it go away any time soon.

Its good to bring some attention to things that can challenge BTC. I would like to believe that the momentum of BTC will stop a challenge, but the more we understand what those challenges will be the better chance we have to fight against them.
