This should not be called bitcoin research your questions are like here are elusive and the topic of this post should be called personal opinion on bitcoin if you want to do a real research you can read books
I will definitely come back and read all the responses. In fact, I keep checking every 30 minutes until I have a handful of people responding to me. By research I meant my bachelor thesis and for that purpose I needed some real people to get their opinions about the questions i presented. I will need to be collecting as many primary data as possible to include in my thesis, and hence like one other user said, i cannot really "google" to get the answers I need for my report.
But thank you to all the remaining members, who have put their efforts in answering!
if I'm not mistaken you have already asked similar questions on a different newbie account
anyways will try and answer the questions:
1. bitcoin has shown fantastic results as a store of value and is one of the most profitable assets to invest in longterm
(that is if you haven't invested in it when the price was 17.000$)
besides it has a deflationary mechanisms inbuilt , add to that the continuous loss of coins that adds value as well
2.I use bitcoin to invest in different bankrolls, for some purchases of digital goods and some trading
I gamble with cryptocurrency, not only bitcoins , too
I get paid in bitcoins for doing online jobs
3.expecting it to be alive and well for years to come
waiting for the Lightning network fully operational so we may see bitcoin not only as a store of value but a valid payment system, competeing with the likes of Visa and Mastercard
4.my main concerns would be security issues, since the transactions are non reversible
it will be very difficult if not impossible to recover stolen or lost coins
another major concern is that there will eventually appear a "superbitcoin" , some coin that
will be better coded, more anonymous, has faster transactions- all in all a "bitcoin killer" if you wish
and that bitcoin will lose its market dominance and eventually, value
You're right. I posted the questions on reddit, but nobody's answering. Thanks for your help!
And if I have not made it clearer in my previous posts, thanks for all of your comments!
