Bitcoin in the World

Media coverage and reception of digital and cryptocurrencies

How to know the Status?

Bitcoin has grown at an organic rate expected by word of mouth with occasional
media bursts.
Bitcoin has been covered in a number of news publications over time. The first
mention of bitcoin on Slashdot had a correlation to a price increase. The price
reacted to news often as a very young currency, but over time stories lost much of
their effect on the exchange rate.
You can view the # of txs and the size of them, some companies will tell you how
many wallets or users they think they have. But there is no exact way to know the
total number of btc users or crypto users in general.

declaring Bitcoin dead, yet it continues.

valuable tool but banks dont want the bitcoin token associated with it.

irritates me. Because it suggests that Bitcoin is simple. Bitcoin is not simple, it is

government issued one, because it would be better than today's cash. The report says

exchange rate and predictions on it

what it should be, what it will be at some point, and what it could be if they believe
hard enough. When the price was steadily climbing towards $1000 for the first
time many people said it would keep going to 10 or 100 thousand USD/btc

predictions of lower prices and reasons why they should come to pass

in lieu of the blockchain or blockchain technology
