Bitcoin Forum

After conducting the poll on Twitter for 6 days

The results were:

16%Volatility
08%Security
68%Price Manipulation
08%Regulation

Loud and clear!

Of course, what else than price manipulation  ::)
What about "scams are biggest problem in crypto market"? You don't see that as option but I do.
Why not run poll here so we can see how bitcointalk members are thinking?

In my opinion price manipulations would be still bigger problem. Every scams can be discovered and avoided without any losses. Unfortunately, in the case of manipulation, we can not do anything

I agree with the result of price manipulation being the biggest problem in crypto market as this affects the stability of prices thereby causing the market to fall or rise whenever it occurs and this make intending investors think the crypto market is not a good investment.

People call price manipulation a problem when we are in bear market and everyone keeps losing money, but during the bull markets, even if the price is heavily manipulated, nobody thinks about that as a problem and they are thankful. Everyone is interested in $, and they do not care whether this is a healthy growth or manipulating as long as they earn.

when you are reporting some poll result you must also include how many participated in it and also who your audience were. for example you may have asked some random people on the internet who have no idea what cryptocurrencies are and only 10 person answered your question.

also your options are not well designed in my opinion. for example "security" is too vague. for example is it the security of exchanges? altcoin or bitcoin exchanges? or is it the security of cryptocurrencies themselves?

also your final result being "Price Manipulation" receiving the most votes only shows that the answers are completely emotional.
it is well known that whenever prices are going down people tend to blame it on "manipulation" and although it exists and is strong if you ask the same question during a rally (like in the middle of the rise after a couple of months of green market) you will not get nearly the same % for this option.

yes, absolutely right,
people who have a big amount of money can manipulated the price,
so, all people must aware about this, then choose the righ coin to invest with less manipulated in price

The biggest problem on the market is the market itself as there is a raging severe fever there, which can be called 'chasing easy money'. Unfortunately, most of the 'traders' and 'enthusiast' are not resistant to it. The 'problem' causes most of the community troubles and ruins the majority of their expectations from the market.

The market is not making itself. People on the market are those who are. If you want to speculate, you need to have an appropriate speculative environment for that. The only thing is that in such an environment everybody speculates around, someone gets profits, someone - losses (majority). What else can be expected on such market besides someone's losses and broken dreams?

In order to have a mature and adequate market, we need to fight the epidemic and wait until the market will be flooded with more sober-minded people.

has to be volatitity

I think the biggest problem in the crypto is not definetely volatility but price manipulation and more importantly security, there will be always volatility for me but it must be more secure.

It is well known that the price of bitcoin tanked when futures was released. They do the most manipulation, even more than investor whales. These futures needs to be removed from the crypto market to allow it to grow organically.

All of those things on the poll are very normal if you know how's the market has been moving for years. I guess the biggest problem in the crypto market is there's a bunch of people who's hobby is to spread FUD instead of knowledge and those investors who are investing just to become a rich for one day. Those people that are treating cryptocurrencies as a quick-rich-scheme and that's why the newest investors are so hungry and hasty for their profits. But when the market goes down, they are all crying and complaining about their losses.

scams are the fuel for bad news and confuse people, many don't try the crypto market because they believe everything is a fraud

Volatility is not the main problem in the cryptocurrency world in my opinion. I am more inclined to the option that now the big problem for the crypto currency is attempts to regulate it.

Imo we are having all those problems because there isnt enough regulation implemented for crypto,just take a look at finnex+tether crew how they are controling the market and if there is regulation they would be behind bars long time ago

Of course the price manipulation. Price manipulation can cause volatility of the price.
We've seen these a hundred times before. It's because they've got the a large portion of
the total supply. Once they begin the sell out. Price immediately response to the sell out
as it followed by panic by gullible traders which makes it more down since they are panic selling
their crypto. Manipulation is the root of cause of this mess. Regulations also makes an impact
on crypto. Remember the China. The price declined so sharp the time the government cracks down
all crypto related business especially exchange.

Are you crazy, This forum and many of them.is supporting backbone of crypto market. So you wrongly understand the crypto market.
If feel these are biggest problem in crypto you also stay away in this forum. But still you survive in this forum.

why i laughing so hard reading this comment? i totally agree with him, no one cares when you take profit or even get rich with cryptocurrency, and no even single thread i can find complaining about dropping price like now. we can't doubt those are the most bigger risk in cryptocurrency and can't be fixed since no regulations confirmed to decrease this action. The price should be unpredictable, and most of new comer become victims for price manipulation and cryptocurrency volatility. Plus many scammers we can find in digital world with a hundred of useless coins.

It seems true, when the future contracts almost finished and there will be so many FUD to the cryptocurrency. They are doing so many manipulations to the market. The futures contract is a really bad thing that gives a huge impact to the bitcoin itself. This looks so bad for me and it makes me sick.

Creating rumor that there is a price manipulation for scammers to cover themselves, it is basically not a price manipulation they only say that it is a price manipulation since they are trying to look smart even though they really don't know what is happening to the current market right now. Even in ICOs each of scam coin makes the market worst it is basically the worst thing like a toxic that slowly kills the market for their own good.

Price manipulation is definitely a big deal. A lot of whales control and manipulate the market. The rich get richer. But a lot of it too is fudders and people panic selling. People tend to have their favorite coins, and bash the others. Instead of bashing others, need to support other projects too.

In my opinion, the biggest problem is the spinning of ranks, merits and also crypt. This is a cryptic world in which participants must live on trust to each other, rather than to speculate in values. Trust is very expensive.

In my opinion the biggest problem in the crypto market is that it is not acceptable as we want to. The multimedia gives big impact on creating false news that make investors fear of BTC. Most people now a days are accessing over the net. They are manipulating the minds of the people.

All of those reasons plus scams and negative press are hampering adoption but most of those issues should be resolved eventually at least less price manipulation and more regulation

i agree about Price Manipulation. Thats really the biggest problem. I think that scam projects are second problem because now it's so much.

Most investors are not afraid of the market, but because of the many fraudsters, many beginners are deceived after entering the market! This is the saddest thing! Because these scammers are destroying the market!
