Disadvantages of Bitcoin

[Golden9]

One of it's strongest selling points is also a disadvantage; decentralization.
This makes it unstable and it can be manipulated if someone owns enough of it.

It's transactions are also anonymous, making it ideal for those who want to steal, and it's also not reversible. If you mistakenly lose it, it might just be home forever.

One major disadvantage i have with bitcoin and so many other cryptocurrency out there is the price value. The price value is never stable hence it cannot be used as a means of saving capital in anyway.

There are several drawbacks to Bitcoin, one of which is Bitcoin cannot be used as a measuring tool like fiat money, because the value of Bitcoin is always fluctuating. As a result of government intervention, Bitcoin is now not very anonymous.

The only disadvantage that I can think of about BTC is the difficulty to acquire it for free. I cannot afford to buy them because of certain reasons and it is related to random fluctuations of their values.

Like you said, Lossing your Bitcoin cash means you won't be able to get it back or reverse it. So it is important to check the address of the receiver before sending payments .

Bitcoin is a good tool in the hands of scammers because of it's decentralized state. It's also difficult to make it a legal asset because of it's volatility and unstable prices.

The disadvantage of Bitcoin is that it is very volatile.

The main disadvantage of bitcoin we could say is too volatile for the appetite of many investors and that prevents more institutional capital from entering it for now i think

 

[Elendu]

Bitcoin is known for its extreme price fluctuations, which can lead to significant losses for investors. The value of Bitcoin can swing wildly in a single day, making it a very risky investment

The bitcoin are very volatile and the price keeps on changing according to the current economic trends and dynamics according to the Blockchain network in the so called international markets of the world.

There are many disadvantages of Bitcoin including Bitcoin Mining will damage the environment and require high fees, become the target of hackers, and fraud, is intangible, so that people cannot hold or feel like fiat money.

I see your point but I think decentralization is more of an advantage than a disadvantage it means that no one can control or censor the network and that everyone can participate and verify transactions. It also makes it more resilient and secure against attacks or failures.

The only disadvantage of Bitcoin is the level of volatility that it has because it is highly volatile.
