My opinion: Bitcoin is losing because lack of adoption and failing to operate as a daily currency.

Even we enthusiast in this subreddit, How many times did you use a bitcoin transaction last month? The only purpose of bitcoin users right now, as far as I can see, is getting rich via trading or hodling. This is hurting the bitcoin most imo. We need to make it easy for 40 year George to buy and transact with bitcoin. We need to make it as easy as "just works". Hopefully LN will cure some of those issues, but we still need adoption and easier usage for general public.

Is it good to buy now?

I really dont know much about btc.
I have very little money, but would of course like some magic money tree gambling.
Seeinng the price is right now at its lowest, is it smart to invest now?
Will it go down deeper? Will it go up again?
