Bitcoin Forum

At the end of 2016 - early 2017 on the market it's many cryptocurrency investors from countries in the Asian region, in connection with which has occurred throughout the growth of cryptocurrencies. Now after a long slump altcoins are increasing again, and it all happens on the background of the launch of futures on bitcoin.... Do not you think that the market once again came the "fresh blood" and we are waiting for a runaway take-off?

The fact that Bitcoin is gaining notoriety and commonplace is signaling that all other good projects will soon to be of major acceptance and fresh investments. The runaway will be a natural course that will be brought by many different factors, but mainly mainstream. I was discussing with a investors coach that still don´t believe in bitcoin because is not regulated. With the adoption of crypto by these dinosaurs investors who tend to be so suspicious all other altcoins will also reap the benefit.

Yes the history will repeat,Q1 of 2018 would be alts months and after that its another bloodbath but it will comeback when the last quarte came in,

I suppose the current state of the market looks very similar to the March 2017 too. Everything raises just like that times. And it will be repeated again and again for sure.

Just like in forex and stocks its how the market cycles.

Whatever happens and whatever the reason, the fact remains the same that the crypto market still has more appeal as time passes. The various activities occurring in this industry since the beginning of 2017 should be considered if the general market volatility is correctly analyzed.

It can fall really deep too, it happened to Bitcoin before (after MtGox crash) ;)

I presume this will be take place again in the market. So for sure history will repeat itself because of this market volatility. It cycles will become uptrend or downtrend anytime the usuall happen.

I believe the rising popularity of cryptocurrencies will soon attract the attention of market regulators in the US and other places which will lead to a market crash. I think this will happen in next 3 months

Those who wait for a big dump will have too much problems because we started a new era in crypto markets. We're not in old low volume days. The market got bigger and millions of people are in the system.

Somewhat true it is. Fresh blood is entering the markets but that's not for altcoins, bitcoin futures is entirely different. It's a financial instrument traded for cash. That is not directly affecting, rather it's further more indirect, mostly it's due to these pump and dump groups, well from what I know of. But this is something that is good for me and a lot more traders as finally the price of alts will increase and at least we can sell it at break even point. That bad the altcoin markets have been, but it differs for a person to person due to the different timings.

I think the bitcoin price is very volatile where bitcoin will experience a very high price increase this is because of the large pumping scale of the investors that made the price increase is quite high. and this will impact on large-scale sales by bitcoin holders that keep bitcoin prices back down and I think some of these factors are causing bitcoin prices to be very volatile. this time as well as repeating a history in late 2016 to early2017 which is a lucky day for bitcoin holders and this is likely to happen again. I think that's the greatness of bitcoin everywhere so fluctuating and this is an advantage for traders.

Yes, history does repeat itself but never the same exact way.  I think the October,November and December market mirrors the May, June and July market.  The earlier market had the same feel to it, plenty of 'fresh blood'.  Then we had the nice crash in the alternative markets after BTC dipped.

It will be very telling how big of dip BTC has and exactly how the alts follow or do not follow suit.

Absolutelly yes! Do you can imagine how many "fresh blood" as you said, came to BTC in last days/weeks/mothns? People just listen about BTC everywhere, but they still don't understand it! they see the price increasing, and they believe that it wiill be always like now, also they believe that this is the pyramid, so a litle dump can scary all these people, and they will dump it! BUT I don't believe that we will see "low" prices for many time... who know how it works, will buy it :) so everyt, and it will pump, and the story will repeat again  ::)

Yes but everytime it goes down it still ends up higher than what it was before.

I think we are seeing a lot of people who now have significant sums in Bitcoin because of the rise in price trying to diversify their holdings.

so many people realize this yearly event...lol
its happen since 2015....usually it begin at mid november till Feb next year.Alt so strong at this moment
and the best buy is about Oct or better prepare since sept
u can gain so much profit from this yearly event.. ;D ;D

Now BTC is dropping. Hope its just a small dip

I agree, it certainly feels like this is how it will play out.

I think it just repeating it self, just by comparing on how the market has been going on in the past years its graph tell it all, traders who has been in the market for a long time has seen this movement in the bitcoin price and just waiting for mid of the year to buy bitcoin again.

History repeats itself?Yes, history is always strikingly similar, and every rise is the same, the first is bitcoin, the second is ETH, and then the various altcoins.

I agree with you! It can be something very bad, or something very good, if you understand how do that people act...  ;) My friends said me that the founder or co-founder of bitcoin.com (unconfirmed info) is predicting BTC by 3k$ in 2018, because guys that are dumping the BTC are not the mass, but the big players that are holding 40% of BTC... I think 2018 will be the year of BTC fall, and alt success :)

It seems true that some history will be repeated, but there are different situations now, the marketcap of the cryptocurrency is much bigger than before, the cheap coins period will not be repeated again.

mid of the year to buy bitcoin again? Why aren't investors buying now. Is this not the best time to buy. Like Warren Buffet said: “Be Fearful When Others Are Greedy and Greedy When Others Are Fearful”

This is the regular boom and bust cycle. The best thing to do is not get panicked and sell at a loss. Always be calm and zoom out of your charts and realize that the only direction this is headed is up. Buying the dip is the strongest piece of advice. Even stronger than that is to always sell at a profit.

Yes indeed, we should be participating often in this incoming year... it may lead us to earn huge $$$$.

the history will always repeat again and again but in different situations. there will be up and down in these situations even in the future so we don't have to panic or anything if we are seeing bad situations. just make sure that we are ready to get the chance and don't miss the opportunity because it will not happen with the same thing again in the future. I think the investors will come and go easily and will take their profit from the cryptocurrency world and new investor will come and invest their money and they expect to make a big profit from cryptocurrency.

it`s not history repeats) it`s a correction, one step back - two steps forward  ;)

fingers crossed that you say is true that price coins won't be cheap but increasingly rise although slowly the land, and the history of the coin that is cheap is not repeated again in accordance with the expectations of the bitcoiner in order not to harm one another

you are right it is not a step to get back to history but in the year 2018 will print a new history that the price of the coins will be stable, and step backwards not forward continues, we just wait in the year 2018 later

What you stated above is more or less a case of history repeating itself and which it does always! One of the main reasons for that, is the fact these markets are ran by people and the whole lot of human emotions and psychology get factored in decisions made in the markets, thus making some patterns obvious and traceable. Many of us have been witness to what FUD and panic selling does to the cryptomarket and how the resilience in Bitcoin always takes center stage after every such sell off and those of course won't be the last.

One more thing is that it is an established fact in the financial markets that about this time of the year, the market usually turns bearish as a good number of traders and investors round up their trading activities for the year to be with families and friends. What to do is to simply seize the opportunity it offers to buy low again instead of joining the FUDsters!

History always repeats itself and all things seem to go in cycles. That has never been more so in the world of investment then anywhere else. The recent Bitcoin drop has pulled all of the top 10 down with it but some of the smaller altcoins are bucking the trend and rising nicely right now.

We call this patterns in trading language.
Charts always try to make similar patterns with history. Yesterday bitcoin price did the same thing just draw a pattern

Thats the nature of crypto market. It's a continuous process, just keeps rolling and rolling along.

Yes the market cap of the cryptocurrencies will increase over time and eventually we will see the rise of good coins and they will be in top 100 and we are also going to see the shit coins die.

I don't think so exactly, I think there will be pumps and big corrections so bitcoin cannot go higher until late 2018

it actually began early 2017 when bitcoin was adopted as a legal way of payment over in Japan and people realized cryptocurrencies have always been serious despite what the FUD used to tell them every day.

and the part of history that will repeat itself will unfortunately be the bad part. the part where a lot of newbies see the success of bitcoin and dream of getting rich by investing in an "alternative" which has a lower price since they think the low price can go up like bitcoin. but what they miss out is that there is a reason why they are low and then they will also face an ugly truth called "pump and dumps" and lose a lot of money. and losses like that lead to bigger bear markets in altcoin market.

The history always repeats itself. Everything goes the same way. There are laws of the market and economy which always work. At the crypto everything also develops according to basic laws.

Crypto is becoming more acceptable with time. A lot of media coverage helps, so it means a lot of investments will pour in to the crypto market in 2018 i hope.

Indeed history repeats itself because that's what makes a good trader do. They consider a lot of techniques and patterns in order to gain more profit, they prefer their experties and experience rather than luck because trading is a very stressful way of gaining profits than just an average way of earning income.

Well anything is pobile into the crypto world it seems . I would say also that yea , history repeats itself this time with the bitcoin bull run and then the correction and entry in the bear market but we will see.

In the history there's always a correction, just look at the history graph charts, there are a lot of corrections in the same time frame of the year. But the deepest correction ever happened is every second or third week of December where people choose to dump their coins just to give gifts for their loved ones because this month is the most important month of all the Christians around the world.

This will prove from other people mindsets that Bitcoin or Altcoins will soon having less value and just like a bubble that anytime soon will pop and then we lose everything we invested. It's a BIG No and it's impossible to happen. The correction is just a case that Cyrptocurrency is alive and it's like a heartbeat that keeps on pumping the price that will eventually attracts more investors and investments.

You can look at the graph actually, Bitcoin and Altcoins are experiencing massive dropping in the month of December and will eventually will happen next year of December same time frame. So, this correction, dumping and pumping is just the part of the trade since the beginning.
