o you use Bitcoin for purchases? ...and if so, what type of products/services are you purchasing with Bitcoin?

Data from Coinmarketcap.com shows a sharp decline in Bitcoin prices from $18,737.60 December 18th of last year to $6,252.44 on February 6th of this year. However, Bitcoin’s value had already increased to $9,959.84 as of February 16th at 21:00. Rather than a steady increase in Bitcoin’s price up to mid-December of last year, this reflects volatility of this leading cryptocurrency.
 

Now the transaction fee has become such lower that we are now able to send even 10,000 dollars for just 1 cent as transaction fee.

Now the transaction volume has gone down to just 135k transactions per day.

Is this change in transaction fee due to segwit activation or due to decrease in crypto hype which is noticed nowadays?

This study is definitely worth checking out if you want to keep yourself informed, many big name crypto organizations (nearly 150 in total) contributed to the compilation of this study. 
This Global Cryptocurrency Benchmarking Study is an inaugural research focused on alternative payment systems and digital assets. Led by Dr Garrick Hileman, it is the first study of its kind to holistically examine the burgeoning global cryptocurrency industry and its key constituents, which include exchanges, wallets, payments and mining. The findings are both striking and thought-provoking.

By our count, over 300 academic articles have been published on various aspects of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the past several years. However, these works tend to take a narrow focus. To our knowledge this is the first global cryptocurrency study based on nonpublic ‘of-chain’ data. We designed the study to present an empirical picture of the current state of this still maturing industry, and to explore how cryptocurrencies are being used today. The findings from this study will be useful to industry, academics, policymakers, media, and anyone seeking to better understand the cryptocurrency landscape. 

This study would not have been possible without the support and participation from nearly 150 cryptocurrency companies and individuals that contributed data, many of which have elected to have their logos displayed in this report. This study also greatly benefited from suggestions and support we received from many individuals and firms we recognize in the Acknowledgements. We are grateful for the trust placed by study participants in the University of Cambridge research team. We are looking forward to continuing and expand

It's not just bitcoins that's down .. we cannot even think of switching over to other cryptocurrencies, well I heard the news about how the price of Bitcoins were lowest on March 26 and will rise again but it turned out to be a simple made up fact .

Many experts believe that it's starting of crypto winter . 
It's been months will we see the rise again ? 

Feel free to share your information.

Guys, someone just called me from a bounty I joined called FIANCIA https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2881283.0

They are requiring me to participate and send 0.1 eth to their ICO. Isn't the whole point of participating on a bounty campaign is to get paid and not pay them???

I get the multiple accounts part but hey it's their job to sort those out but to ask the bounty participants for ETH is just not right.

Sounds like a scam?

As we see the ethereum price is getting low and low every day. It was same thing happen with the Bitcoin in the past then it has reached where it is right now. Will we see the ethereum competing with bitcoin in the coming one year?

I went camping for a few days... and BAM! $11k -> $17k!!!!!!

This is crazy! Grin Are you guys surprised?

Switzerland's tiny neighbour, Liechtenstein, is taking a leadership position with much bolder policies and a faster, more focused government that truly understands and embraces blockchain technology. For that reason, it truly deserves the title of "cryptocountry".

I think Switzerland will catch up eventually. BTC will go to moon. How do you think?
