As a natural deal in the market, sellers always want to sell high and buyers always want to buy low. But the reverse seem the case with those sellers who dump their Crypto coin or tokens for some very low and ridiculous price. Thus that's not a natural market deal. What really is the reason why people dump? Have they got enough crypto gains that they need no profits no more?

I am sure no one is bound to when to sell and when to buy but what you just said is called as FOMO - Fear of Missing out! They always fear that they will miss the high prices and start buying at highest price only while they fear they will miss the opportunity to gain but they actually sell when the crypto is already at the bottom. Yes seen this many times and this is the exact term which you are looking for here. People do talk about the weak hands here who always end up with panic seller irony and thus make mistakes while making the trades.

Sell only people frightened by a sharp decline in the price of the crypto currency. Such people wanted only to earn money quickly and did not believe in the future of the crypto currency, so they are selling now.

Obviously patience is what some have to learn because holding, selling higher gets you more eventually, so why hurry to sell so cheap and make a project look like it has less potential to be sold with a better price.

I think many people who sell their coins with low price after ICO is their need for cash, they need cash money in hurry so the coins earned by them as fast as possible to be converted into their cash money. They will not concern of the price anymore, just CASH MINDED.

There are definitely lots of emotional traders in the market. Since pretty much almost anyone can invest in cryptocurrencies, even the people who don't have an idea on what they're doing are joining in. Their coin/token loses 50%? "oh my god it's crashing to the ground!". Boom. SELL. I'm not going to pretend that I didn't do this in the past though. I've definitely learned the hard way.

I think the problem, that we don't know exactly who sell by low price. My point, that usually it's part of ICO team (advisors, managers) who has really big percent of tokens and they don't buy this tokens on ICO. So, they do not care what price to sell. They will make money in any case. Maybe i am wrong.

Of course people want their money that they invested in. And I think it is the right thing to do since majority of the coins dumps after it hits any exchanges.

I think the price drop begins with a big whale or something like this. Recently I have seen a ridiculous trading on an exchange. The whales put a sell order at a very low price. He divides his sell amount in several order. Like he puts 5k coin for sale, but he made 15 order by dividing 5k coins! So, some people thought the price will go down more and more that's why they will sell their coins at a low rate! And those whales will buy them! I think this is a leading big game for the big whales.  

Negative is the primary motivation to sell cryptos; the sense that there is no benefit from this tokens leads to the attempt to reduce losses and sell them with the least possible damage.
Hacking trading platform or banning ICO is an indicator of a low token's value in the coming days/months, so the sale is made with as little profit as possible.
Also, turning tokens into scam leads to it sell at any price Before the news spread.

''very low and ridiculous price'' How do you calculate or determine what's a low price? Is 6k low? It's low compared to 20k but it's high compared to 1k. Your post makes no sense and you clearly don't understand the basics of trading or investing. If someone bought at 5.5k and sells at 6.9k does it mean he sold low? It might be low for you because you bought at 10k but it's a lot for him.

Why would anyone hold forever? You realize that at some point you will have to sell. Unless you truly believe bitcoin itself will become a real currency which doesn't seem like it's going to be the case.

Its more of a buying strategy I guess. If the price drops and people are dumping more of it even when its below ICO price, it could be because they want to pull the price down so they can buy again at the very low price. If they can make the price dip to less than a cent just like what happened to DENT then its better for them as they can buy millions with a thousand.

The reason why some holder of tokens sell at a very low price is because of the fear that it might not be able to recover again and it is very normal nowadays since the market of new and low volume coins/tokens are being manipulated, and there are lots of weak handed investors that whenever they read or heard about the bad news related to that cryptocurrency they will immediately wants to get out of the market, It is not that they don't need profits anymore lol, how that could be possible if all people wants a profit, even you already a millionaire, you will still wants to invest and gain more.

I think they have a plan for the trade. No one would sell their coins at low rates except that they were afraid of Cryptocurrency.
I was in a group of market manipulators. They have many ways to increase and decrease the value of an altcoin. So I thought it was a strategy.

If this is the case, then I do not think they truly need cash for long term. Especially if they sell all the token these way. Some token sold cheaply can hit 3x price after couple of weeks

It is good you learned faster. Lolz. These sicking emotions of some people to sell low need to be redressed. This guys are missing fortune in the immediate. That's how people sold bitcoin for pizza.

You have said it so i knew that you have an idea. Take on that situation and put yourself what do you think you'll going to do if it happens to you. You will about to do the same of having no knowledge, it is claimed that you can buy in cheap but not always it goes with you there is dumping of price and can cause collapse or panic.

There are times people,sold there precious token even its not the right time to sell this in the crypto market in a low price,because of necessity or there personal needs,because being also a  normal  humans people have so many wants and needs that  needs to pay  and one of this cause is the billing payments ,and the three basic needs of life ,thats why even its not  the proper time bitcoiners sell there precious crypto coins in order to fullfill  there everyday needs.

I would beg to disagree to this. Maybe just my opinion. How would a committed project team member dump his or her own coin so carelessly. How possible is that. That is brainless and dumb.

After being in the cryptocurrency world for 2 years, you simply just get numb even though your investment crashes as low as 80%. Huge drops in investments is just a normal day for me now.

I am profit minded and more importantly, I am conscious of project type. There are projects I invest in and will hold long term..  As long as. There are projects I buy for immediate trading.... But won't sell so dumb to sell low. Not when it already sound sick to me.

Are you for real? It is the right thing to do? Dump my precious tokens because it just hit the exchange? I beg to disagree. Maybe I am not understanding.

There is no particular answers for your question because people sell their cryptos is not simply because they need money. There are a lot of factors why people are selling their crypto. Depends on their condition anyway. Someone sells his crypto can be because of fear, panic selling, speculating, and others. For example, I usually sell my crypto because I want to speculate. I sell coin X because coin Y was rumored to be bullish.

People just sell all tokens/coins  so they can buy more BTC.

Then they sell BTC to buy more Altcoins.

Then they sell Altcoins again, to get more BTC.

This is only usecase for crypto at the moment.... sadly   :-\

------------------------------------------------------------
I agree that most of this coins/tokens will loose their value,
but only few of them will increase huge.
Don't trust me...just look at statistics.

There may be several reasons behind such contemptuous act of
dumping of coins when people do not care for losses.
Sometimes you need money and couldn't seek any other way than selling your precious coins or ayou might not be a real trader

yes I agree with what you say, because everyone's needs are different so they do not think how much the token price they have, most importantly they make money.

Oh! I see. You sell off coin X and buy more of coin Y that you eventually dump and buy coin Z... And later buy coin XYZ omg! Sounds interesting though. Do you trade Crypto full time?

They usualy get something for free,
and just want to sell it fast, and don't care for how much

I like the circle hahaha.

But is this enough reason to dump. Shzzzzh. Sell high and buy a villa on mount Sinai

Like in the case of airdrop tokens and giveaways? But gifts should even be more precious. Don't sell cheap mate.

I see. But of course, you may have made a fortune and have multiple portfolios by now. #smiles.

I think that the main reason people sell is fear. They are afraid that right now the entire crypto market has been blown away and therefore they are selling all their coins. Just to take at least some money. There are very few professionals in the crypto currency market, most are ordinary people who do not understand anything at all in trading. No wonder they are called hamsters. It's just a crowd of people who buy when the price rises (enthusiasm and blind faith) and sells when the price falls (fear and insecurity). So they do not follow the basic rules of successful trading.

If you have no plans of holding I guess dumping would be easy especially if you have invested to an ICO with great amount of bonus. If they believe to the project they will buy back but for those who have dumped and find out the project did well after, regrets will also be with them. This probably had happened most of the time to the bounty hunters who just sell for BTC.

exactly they may just look to be that they just want to have some money even in a low price than taking it for so long to grow it more cause they think that it is just a waste of time and they think also that if they take this for so long they may take for nothing.

Because some people don't value things they get for free. But then, most shit coins end up dead after hitting the exchanges, so, it's better to sell early (sometimes)  ;D

Oh my! Really? Buy when price rising and sell when price is dropping. Then they have the money to throw around. If they have $40 worth of btc only. They would learn to kill fear and be patient till their initially investment make some more profit for them.

This is exactly why I want to avoid the negative regret. It will be more painful to me if I dump a coin and discover that it later skyrocketed to 5x or 10x than hold and it later dump. I will hold and watch the market.

This is another issue. How do we really know shitcoin if we do not wait a few weeks to have the team proof their effort?

Most people are looking for money to buy bread😂😂

FUD of course is the main reason why  people sell their coins at a lower price. The fear of traders becoming a bagholder will cause them to dispose their coins at a lower price than what they bought them for.

sometimes a project shows their failure, so sometimes, the coin holder is willing to take the risk of making the coin a severe dump. well, but some sell it because of the influence of bitcoin prices, or ETH.

For me the reason behind why people/holders dump it's because of being of lack of hope, and without enough strategy how to ride the risky situation , which is instead of keep holding and build new strategy for it ,they will sell off even it's too late , lol  and also because of "emotions" which is they're always dump no matter what happens to avoid further losses , but always regrets at the end , especially when there is a negative news or fake news about the future of market.
 

In my personal experience when the market is in a uptrend we expect to have more profit & holding coins. As a theory bull runs will fall & your profit levels are down. Having a greedy trading theory still we hold the coins & market starts to fall. Psychologically frustration of holding long term & lowering profits or for some personal needs people sell coins at this stage. They do buy some other coins as well. Eventually understands that holders are winners always as the previous higher highs mostly will cover in bull markets. Then the train has gone. This happens repeatedly. This is a mind game. Who has the strong trading theory of holding & learn about market trend only can win by trading not to sell low.

Mostly the cases are they panic especially when they see their portfolio all red with huge amounts of losses. They sell their coin so the loss would be minimal and when the price of the coin goes down more they buy them back so when it increases, they gain profit. I think that’s what they are thinking in my opinion though.

Just bread? Not even pizza mate.

But I have seen people dump a coin as soon as it get listed on an exchange. Doesn't that mean they are the one helping to create loses for themselves?

This happens in all markets, not just in crypto.  It's no wonder why people don't make money trading, because they let emotion get the best of them and sell at a loss out of fear (usually).  As far as tokens are concerned, most are worthless and my guess is that a lot of the sellers got them from bounties and just need the money.  I don't think most of them ever intended to hold them long term.  Would you?

It's very hard to keep emotions out of trading when you're staring at a huge potential loss.  It's natural to want to cut your losses, and thus people buy high and sell low instead of the other way around.  You see it all the time.

I think that after ICO they always expect the price to increase quickly so they make a profit but it is not a long term investment anymore and they want to sell their coins with low price after ICO is their need for cash.

they do not have the money they can afford to lose


many times what happens is that people make loans to buy crypto thinking that they will make quick profits and pay the loan, but when the price falls, these people panic and sell thinking that the price will fall to  $0. there are cases that simply the person uses his money and buys crypto and the instant the price falls the person loses hope and sells with damages because he does not believe that the price will rise. It is very difficult to be patient when we are at a loss.

Indeed it is their own decision here I do not want to know then the risk is borne alone, because panic will beat the confidence to hold on until it reaches at a very extraordinary price, greedy people only think about its benefits without knowing the problem they must achieve, enough commensurate with what they do with arbitrary to invest by not in the knowledge base.

there  is   numerous  things  which facilitate  this.  one  of  the  key  things  is that  most  of  the   people  who  are  investing  in  the sector  are  doing  that to  make  a  profit,  they  do  not  really  believe  in  the  projects.  because  of  that  incase  of major  drop  in market  most  of  them  end  up selling  with  low  rates. some  of  them  also  sell  with  low  rates the  regulations  which  are  expected  to be enacted. in  some  instances  the  regulations  may  lead  to  reduction  in  rates. so as  to avoid major losses  some  of  them  have been  forced  to  sell  their  coins.

People that do dump they tokens and coins below the icos price are the bounty hunter and those that receive bonuses during the icos.  The market is an open one and you can even get some tokens by just filling some airdrops form.

Many people do dump their assets however, some set of people says that those people that use yo dump are the bounty hunter I can tell no. The main reason why people dump is the 50%or70% bonus they have get from ICO they just dump the whole token and they have make money.

Really? Dedicate us in your thoughts about what the author wants to know. How do you explain this situation? The whole crypto market is a field where whales take their money from people, using the most primitive human emotions: greed and fear. It is the whales that create such traps for ordinary people, because they know the psychology of man perfectly. They perfectly understand how the market will behave in this or that situation. There are a small number of people who have learned and continue to learn trading in the crypto market, these people are successful, they understand how it works. But most still can not overcome greed and fear, so every time we see the same thing. The price is skyrocketing, then falling ... growing and falling, etc. If all people, as you write, took and learned to fight with their emotions, then the crypto currency market would not be so volatile.
So think first about this, and then write your justified answer!

Because they are panicking. Newbie moves. Why would they sell their crypto? When it can recover again soon? They're just being impatient. We are still in bear market. The fear cause them to panic sell. Anyway, this is just one of the reasons. Maybe some of them are bounty holders or ICO investors. They sold their crypto once it hits the market. Why not? It's a quick money. This is normal i think. Because the ICO coin will drop as soon as it hits the market. Even it's cheaper. At least they get small amount of profit. They just followed their emotions. This is not good tho. Don't inclilude your emotions when trading. It is a vital quality a good trader should have.

Probably the most common reason why people or investor done such thing is to cut losses or they are on emergency in need of money.When we do invest we do always aim that buy low sell high thing but the market condition or things do happen now on most investment where price do drop significantly which even just initially or just newly listed on exchangers and definitely you would really be on panic or stress on how to get out.You wont really have any choice but to sell out early and this would depend on how you do hardly trust such project.

See it as an opportunity to buy up your favorite coin(s) at way lower levels. At near peak levels there was no more money flowing into this market, which this correction will positively change as more people will be motivated to start buying again, especially so with how institutions won't ever enter at peak levels. They will just wait for an opportunity to enter at lower levels and then drive the price up to increase the value of their holdings. Bear markets without a MtGox situation never last long, don't forget that -- the price will either stabilize and go up slowly or trigger a major FOMO run at some point. Just look at the charts going back all the way to 2013 and see for yourself what happened....

Absolutely, right my friend. In order to avoid any more losses, people start dumping or they just can't cope with the market volatility and want an exit. Who knows? There are many reasons for dumping, but the one aforementioned stands out still

I guess that's because panic selling, because as far as I know token will only have a high price in the beginning and trading will be crowded at the beginning, if the new tokens enter an exchange. I personally also hold some tokens and it turns out after I hold for a long time and it turns out the popularity of these tokens does not have good supporters. So there are hardly any serious buyers and so many sellers are pegging high prices that will not be sold.

Agreed, I've seen this a couple of times, selling way too below the ICO price,
I don't know what they're thinking but from what I've observed they are desperate to sell.
Don't settle for less, be patient

They are in panic mode. So they sell their tokens at lower price. And i think they don't believe in their tokens.

Without taking into consideration what are the projects behind the tokens,people are selling their precious tokens because they are afraid that it might lose its value in the long run.Hope after holding those tokens for awhile and seeing the market price has increase these people won't regret why selling their tokens in such a very low price.

Sometimes the reason is they want a immediately money or they want reinvest that's why most of them sell their token in low price. Some reason too is many people have lack of idea about trading and panic selling because some fud news they hear.

This Looks good

Newbie plus Panic selling will obviously lead on that conclusion. They are not even aware of what they are selling and just bought it because they see a lot of people talking about and hyping at sometime. Or they realized that it is not really a precious token and they are just deceived and after that, everyone's dumping it so they did it too to get at least some amount back.

There are also rare cases where coins/tokens are locked on a main exchange and can't be withdrawn (in the case of Tronix and Binance). In such cases, people will dump their coins to free up their money and potentially invest elsewhere- I personally buy when situations like this happen, because prices usually rebound as soon as the coins are transferrable from the exchange again.

It can also be that a whale has received negative information ahead of time regarding a token or coin, and the whale wants to get out ASAP, dumping coins at extremely low prices.

Isn't it quite obvious? The free airdrops, bounty hunters and those who have received ridiculous bonus at ICOs are usually the first to dump at the ridiculous low price as they have nothing to lose being that they invested $0 in the first place. This ultimately creates FUD, which makes those just joining crypto, probably the first time,to also start selling off at even lower price than before to recoup any amount they can get.

This is one of the reasons why the strategy for token distribution has been changed with tokens being released on different dates (usually a few weeks apart) to interested parties to prevent massive dump. we

People who dump price are harmful to the project itself. If price is placed at fair and reasonable orders, it gives value to the coin

And I guess they do not know that selling the token low contributes a great deal to decrease the value of the token.

Some people would dump their coins because they need some money to pay bills or for other expenses or they just want to buy those coins that already existing in the market for a long time like Bitcoin and Ethereum. When you receive a token and it is not increasing in value, there are times when you lose hope that it would increase again that's why selling it would be the best option for you even though you are at a loss. The bad move is that some sell when the price is already half or even lower of the amount they bought it. They should have cut loss when they still has a small loss and then buy back lower. Well this is a lesson for everyone that you should cut loss as early as possible especially in a bear market.

I think this is just natural saying that you are afraid to lose what is yours in terms of money and so they wanted to save at least something, and because of that they are selling.

Selling at dump is such a foolish and wrong decision, at time of dip it is good to hold our coin and have patience selling is not the solution of this temporary problem, holding can help a lot of investors and traders avoid lose, there are some coins which are now dumping but one should have good knowledge about the coin before buying and should choose strategic and promising coin so they will not have to panic their coin in such condition.

The answer is very obvious, there are a lot of people in the market who are not well knowledgeable about the market or they cant just handle their ow emotions in trading when the market price is currently dropping.

The answer is simple the precious token might not be as precious as you think it is. People achieve closure at different point of their activities and what is precious to Mr A is not precious to Mr B. Aside from those who really spend money to buy the token and the developer that kept some for themselves, who are still expected to exercise to exercise some restraint in dumping, every other category didn't really believe in the project. Signature campaigners, blog campaigners, Twitter/Facebook posters, article publicist, translations bounty, bug bounty, developer bounty, airdrop and a host of other "free" inflow, just worked for their time and energy so the issue of it being precious was never in the picture to influence their decisions.

In my own opinion, those people are not well knowledgeable about the market and they will just sell their coins whenever they feel pressure which will lead them to lose a huge amount of profit.

Or just simply for those people who didn't pull out money on their wallets wont really be keen or serious on trying to see out the true potential of the coin or project they do advertise or promote. The thing in mind is mostly concern with the possible profits or payout on the things they had done. Insights would always vary on each person because there still some people engage on bounties do keep out their tokens because they do believe on it but this is not always the case.

In this market, people usually do that to mitigate their losses, especially when the market is not doing good. Basically, when you see people selling like that , they are "panic selling" because they are feeling that the market won't be able to recuperate and recover, and therefore, they think that their coins will be left valueless, so they are trying to shed them off at the moment they see that they can get some return or at least break-even the capital they used to either buy those coins or an amount equal to what they used to trade for it.

I have noticed that this is the common scenario of the new ICO or Token listed in the coinmarketcap.com for trading but what i have seen there that most people who sell below SRP or below ico price are those who are participants of bounty hunters this is not talking about the general bounty hunters but majority of the participants doing that practice.

They called them a weak hand and a panic seller. Sometimes they sell their token immediately because they don't want to miss the opportunity to sell. Maybe they think gain a profit but it's not they lose actually.  That's why we need to study about trading before we enter in this kind of platform.

First of all people are tend to be affected by FOMO a lot, and secondly I have seen when a token gets listed it trades higher only for couple of days and there after it's price crashes to dust. Looking at situations like these, I guess most of people prefer to dumped their free tokens in the initial days of listing of tokens.

maybe they tired to wait their tokens not rise, sometime projects only success in their ICO but not in market. so investor really tired to wait and then decide to cut loss their investment. or maybe that is bounty hunter who sell their tokens because they get it free

Lack of faith in the team to implement what the project is about to accomplish are the main cause of the dampen of tokens at low price. I don't think anyone will dump a coin that has a potential to become the next bitcoin or Ether.

In my view the main reason of selling is that they are thinking that the price will co e down and they can buy back in low. As most of the new coins when hit the exchange their will be always selling pressure from ICO investor and bounty hunter side which will make!the price go down.

People don't care about who is running certain projects or whatever they are capable of, they just want to see the value of their investment shoot straight towards the moon, and if possible within a week after their purchase.

People are too ignorant and too stupid to realize what coin has the potential to be the next Bitcoin or Ethereum. If another major coin pops up, it will be one that no one expected to be like that.

Back in the days no one even had faith or remote believe in Ethereum, where it was even labelled as scam, and look where it is today. It's impossible to position yourself in a coin with the mindset of buying the next big coin.

Because they fear that the market is constantly falling and falling to their lowest level, leading to a collapse, they are selling at a low price today and they are withdrawing from the currency market, People around me have met.

I can only think of one reason: They needed money, specially bounty hunters who wanted to get the reward for being in a campaign for so long that they don't care how much the value as long as they know that they are going to make money. As for those investors, maybe they have enough of that coins and doesn't think that it will have a good future so they decided to get out early and re-invest on other tokens. Maybe the mindset of investors have change as well since we are in the bear market in 2018. No one is holding that long enough to see their profits multiple in about a year. They really wanted to gain very quick now and then go on the next coin that will be pump, rinse and repeat the process.

Many of them are those who had invested in the crypto without having a perfect plan and strategy and the red market is often enough to persuade them to withdraw even on low cost. This is actually foolishness. One should invest only the money that is not meant to be used sooner. That way, you would not need the money any sooner and would be able to focus on the plan that leads to financial perfection.

I think they do that as a means to mitigate their losses, if not, to try to avoid a loss altogether. I mean, in any business, it would be counter-intuitive to see someone just dump their asset for a price point that is seemingly non-profitable, and so, before a person could do that, there must be some heavy reason behind it because no person in this market is venturing with the mindset to actually lose money. Although it's part of the market to lose and have some or part of your investment to be wasted, it's still the overall goal to actually get a return.

I think that people are just afraid of losing their money and can not wait for the moment when the price goes up. Working on the crypto-currency market you need to be a very competent trader, and also constantly increase your level of knowledge

Most of the people who dump their tokens are actually  panicking right now and that is the reason why they are losing a huge amount of coins, its because of reckless trading.

A lot of reasons why investors tend to dump their tokens. One of them  to be consider is that their hold tokens seems to be undervalued or considered as shitcoins already that may have no value at all. That is why they decided to sell them to atleast used them before it got unlisted to some exchanges.

I think it is the effect of panic, maybe they panicked seeing the price keep going down when it was bought it was bad decision making. Panic will not make you gain it will only make you continue to lose. My suggestion to not panic better close the market and leave it no longer in a few days or weeks to not panic

 From my personal point of view, most people sell off their money at low prices because they do not want to see their capital slipped further. That is the common mentality of traders who have no experience in investing.
I see it as an opportunity for me to buy the potential currency at a low price. ;D

I think the reason why some people always dump their token after they received it in the bounty campaigns is because they need money and they don't care if it will grow or not. They are a greedy type of people and have no enough knowledge about this kind of investments.

I am sure they already thought it through before they sold their coin for low price, I think there are numerous reasons why people sold the coin for low price, some maybe get caught in false news and then sold, some maybe found a better coin to invest and need to invest fast, some maybe need to emergency usage, so there are a lot of reasons, and I am sure nobody want to lose money but sometimes it need to be done

I think that it is the uncertainty and fear of missing out which causes a lack of confidence among people. It forces them to take decisions without considering the consequences of their decisions in the future. I have seen people selling their tokens at even 50% less price of it just to avoid hair loss. However, the common element is the lack of vision and research while taking any investment decision.

It could be possible that holders purchased coins well before the price skyrocketed and they are still profiting even if the price dropped substantially these days. Obviously, they significantly cut their profits. But it is better a small profit than a small (or big) loss!

I think one of the reason that cause people to dump their tokens at ridiculous low price is because they saw some negative news online about crypto-currencies, and when they start to saw the prices of the tokens they are holding dropping fast in the trading market due to panic selling, they joined in the group of panic sellers to sell away their tokens even at a loss.

I think they dump it according to their wants because some are having a profit, some are wanted to manipulate the market in order to buy more at the dips and also some are didn't want to loss profit that makes a panic selling when the price started to dump. But, I think it should not a reason that you also lead to sell also your holdings even the market is down because anytime it could be going up again due to the big community that supports to it and also the big potential to grow its value in the future.

If you study very well the technical analysis of a trading you will know why they dump their shares. The more percentage of loss you occurred the higher profit you need to achieve in order to break even. For example if you -90% loss you need to gain 1000% gain in order to break even. Also, for technicians they are very religious with their stop losses, once it was hit they need to sell it to minimize the loss.

Because they always fear the market down to the lowest level, they may collapse so they close at low price, they take risks on this.

Also, turning tokens into scam leads to it sell at any price Before the news spread.I think the price drop begins with a big whale or something like this. Recently I have seen a ridiculous trading on an exchange. The whales put a sell order at a very low price. He divides his sell amount in several order.Hacking trading platform or banning ICO is an indicator of a low token's value in the coming days/months, so the sale is made with as little profit as possible.

As they always fear that the market will go down, altcoin prices will drop to zero, so they sell and close the hole at the current low price.

And they're being impatient for their profit. They think cryptos always have a quick profit so if they see that the price nose dive they panic to lose their money. And later they know they already loss their investment. Also they don't think rational and being an impulsive seller leads them to their nightmare.

Yeah i think that's mostly it. More than being scared of the market crashing, having no patience to hold for a long time or having no choice but to sell is more of a reason. That is because people buy in without a proper expectation that their money may get stuck for a long time before making profit.

not all dumpers are investors but actually most of them are just earners . they only earn their coins in a campaigns and they didnt care if they sell it for a low or a high price because they wont loose anything at the first place.

Other reason is that they maybe need the money for other important occasions . i myself do only sell my coins more oftenly because i always badly need money all the time in order to buy food and to pay our expenses .

So overall it is actually worth it to sell a coin at a low price as long as you use it correctly.

They dump their tokens or sell it a very low price because they believe some fud that the market price will continue to drop, it was better to do your own research in order to avoid a lot of wrong decisions.

Of course they dump their tokens because they knew that the tokens will be no more value or less value in the near future. They are business minded which is good for them and disadvantage to those who are patiently waiting

Some got their tokens in bounties so they are afraid of dumping it and most ico offers big discounts so investors are taking small profits

Probably the biggest reason people throw away their coins or crypto tokens for a very low price and are ridiculous because they need cash for important things like monthly bills, school fees or anything else. Some may also be afraid the price of their coins or tokens will go down and end up worthless like happened now, where the price of coins or tokens tend to decrease. Especially when they get free tokens, they do not hesitate to sell it because they no losses anything even though they sell it with low price.

The reasons why people sell their tokens at very low prices can be several. The most common of these is the acute need for money to cover any running costs. Unfortunately, many lack the means to live and they are forced to sell their tokens at the price that has developed in the market at that time.
The second reason may be that some do not carefully read the ICO project documents and do not evaluate the prospects for the growth of tokens. Or they just sell the received free tokens because they always do it.
The third reason may be the usual panic. Token holders see how their tokens sometimes fall on the market, especially at the first time after listing them on the exchange, and some can not stand nerves.

most of the traders react to fud news and get panic they will lose the sense of waiting for the best price they make an instantaneous decision so they sell at low price

Yeah they become so impatient when the realize that they have invested their money in useless coin, most of people use to sell their coin because they invest blindly and later on they feel sorry for it, buying some coin should be done carefully and don’t use your heart or emotions because making this kind of investment will compel you to sell our coin at panic, which is surely not a good choice.

Patience would always vary on this kind of investment and if you do let your emotions control you along the way then it would really contribute for you to make mistakes. You would only realize that you either just being hyped up to buy a coin because other do tell or say such thing. When you do find out the price is going to nose dive you would really think up on advance that it might go even more lower that's why your mind cant really avoid not to panic.

There are always reason why some people choose to sell their coins in small amount. Maybe, they really need the fiat specially in case of emergency. Other also are fear to lose their money because they have weak hands and they do not know how market fluctuates. Necessities, ignorance and greediness, these are some reasons why they sell their coins and turn it on a dump market.

Probably they are a bounty hunters who need money right now. They agree to sell their earned tokens for ridiculous price. The wise investors wait such sellers on the crypto exchange markets and buy these tokens for a cheap price. The short answer to your question is they have no time to wait and sell tokens for a normal price.

If I think maybe because Fud is the main reason why people sell their coins for a lower price. This happens in all markets, not just in cryptocurrancy. But we are not wondering why people do not make money trading, because they let the best emotions out of them and sell with losses due to extraordinary fears. As far as tokens are concerned, most are worthless because many sellers get them from gifts and only need money.

This happens only when a person cannot overcome his emotional fears and resort to selling it even in a very low price not thinking that a dump price will not lasts longer in the market,just a temporary one.So one should have a strong heart and mind and should not be driven with fears because it will only make you lose if you cannot overcome it.

Most probably the panic sell that people kept saying here. However lets not forget that people also need money to survive. In a global market as bad as it is all around the world. It is not surprising that more and more people keep needing money at sudden reasons.

You may live a regular life and save up some and buy tokens etc on your day to day basis but when something unexpected happens and you need money, what will be the first thing you look to? Your "precious" tokens so you can pay off that unexpected thing.

Learning is basically the tool with which you can earn something. You will never lose at any stage of trading if you have got necessary learning related to that game or field. Right here, if you know how to make money, you better learn about trading. How it works and how can you imply your skills right here to make sounded results. This will let you to grab maximum chances.

This happens just when a man can't conquer his passionate feelings of dread and fall back on offering it even in a low cost not suspecting that a dump cost won't endures longer in the market,just a brief one.So one ought to have a solid heart and mind and ought not be driven with fears since it will just influence you to lose in the event that you can't beat it.

because they've invested more than could afford to loose, typical mistake

Dumping of coins usually happens right after the distribution of tokens in a bounty campaign. Because bounty hunters don't mind whether that certain token is promising or not.As long as it is already listed in an exchange whatever the price is they have to sell it since it is already a sure money.

A common reason why they choose to sell their coins or tokens at a ridiculous price is because they just wanted quick money and run. Of course, it’s natural and a part of the game. It is why cryptocurrency is so highly volatile, and prices can be manipulated by these buyers and sellers themselves in any amount they set. Others have sold their tokens or coins at lower prices due to emergency purposes, in which we should understand. At least, it helped them a bit but not in the long run.

The fear dude. This is the most common and the most powerful cause of the dump.
One of the other reason is to sell and rebuy cheaper. Which is not a very useful strategy in many cases.

Pressure. All people who are not used to this kind of market react negatively when they see a loss of their investments. All of the beginners are here for profits and not for losses. If they buy it low and profitable from it, then good but when they are facing losses, their reaction is I must sell. Going in a war like this when you are not trained could cause panic, headache and the worst is heart attack  ;D

Fear and greediness I think. This is because a lot of coins are scam and most people tend to sell their tokens once it goes to the exchanges and then buy back once it goes lower.

It completely is psychological. While they try to stop-loss - and thus not succeed - it still is incoming money. Past spent money is forgotten. Money got by selling low is new cash.

Because they have not yet realized that the coin is really potential, and they think they are always down. I think we should not rush. But do not blame them, they probably need cash.

the reason is fear of the price of their crypto holdings going down further.  by selling now at loss, they can still have somme salvage values.  they fear that if they dont sell, the price will be close to zero and they will potentially lose all their holdings.  this usually happens when people loses faith on crypto.

Traders that are not sure of the future of the tokens they hold will have no options than to sell off at a price lower than even the amount they bought them for. The reactions of the team and FUD spread among the telegram groups are the main reason I dispose my coins off as early as I can.

- Fear is also a reason that makes many people sell their tokens at very low prices and ridiculous, however, we should recognize the deeper cause in this regard, it is the balance and ability to control the market of the big players. They know the price increases forever or the price drops forever will never be a favorable condition for making money, so they need to adjust and create mutations to make the price become extremely low, accumulation and pumping at a higher price, precious token or not is still not important, their purpose is only the greatest profit possible

Many people have dumped their tokens right now because they may have fallen in great numbers so investors are afraid to buy tokens immediately because they are still in great danger of crashing.

How come they will make a profit if the market is red, I think the fear is the major reason. people don't like to lose small profit and especially newcomers they will not think more because there intention is at least they can save capital amount. Yes some people will sell because of emergency even me also sold my bitcoins when I was needed money.

Sometimes they realise that they are investing in unproductive coins and they accept to sell their currency at a low price. But most of the cheap coin sellers are a newbie. They are always trading according to the market trend

A few people who earn a lot of token fraud and they sell it cause the token value decrease
Some join Airdrop with multiple accounts
Or join the Bounty reached his high value
Or those in the project sold their token (if unlocked)
Some investors needed money folding

We can't blame some people for selling their tokens at too low prices because sometimes, they use it for emergency purposes that they ignore their loses because of their needs. Some people also sells at low prices because their tokens' value are decreasing and we can't also blame them for that.

Nobody knows where a bottom can be. Especially in the case of shitcoins, it's more than possible they'll dwindle to nothing. I certainly have enough freebies that I wish I'd dumped just a short while ago. I doubt most of them will ever recover.

Most people believe it's bounty hunters who dump their earnings for ridiculously low prices, cause they sometimes don't know the value of what they promote.
Investors also panic sell. And cut their losses when the value goes down.

You may know the real value of coins but they do not know how precious those coins are, they are just assets that are tradeable for them.

You have a point there since i don't think bounty hunters are really in for the valie of the token itself but for the btc equivalent. Once their tokens become available on an exchange, it's automatic selling for them.

there are 2 things, first because people dont know how does the price reacts over period of time second people has their own needs and wants to supply they dont have the patience to wait until the price has a good value.

That's the funny fact about cryptocurrencies. The unclever allocation of token supply is a dead mark to a project but it looks like it is usually ignored. I hope this will change

Simply because some coins are just droping down and decresing it's value after an ico and I think people dump to get rid of such losses. If we know the fundamentals and basics of crypto, we'll know how to play and deal with all the changes here. We should be alert and smart about the prices of our hodlings.

This show their lack of knowledge and their inefficiency and lack of trust in the crypto potential. In my opinion, we should keep all our emotions aside and should trade by mental games not by emotions. No matter how much the price drops, you will never loose the money if you do not sell the portfolio you hold. Better you hold it and invest further in the down market to get your marginal profit increased.

Some traders dump their tokens for a very low price maybe they are confident that the price of their token will increase in the ljng run. In which some of the tokens do not have value anymore.  I think this is one of the reasons. LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE MARKET VALUE OF TOKENS.

the dropping of prices results panic and doubt to the traders who are at loss. Your fundamental knowledge if it was not enough to hodl your coin you will be one of them in panic that's why a good reason for hodling is having an enough time to get the informations of the coin you hold.

Because their predictions are always inferior, they think the coins they are holding are always down and may be lower than the value at the time they hold so they have sold them.

The dump at a very low price is mostly always done by bounty hunters and airdrop participants, who got their tokens for free and feel they've got absolutely nothing to lose dumping at a low price. While panic is also another reason to consider, when people see the market going down day by day and have the feeling that the coin they're holding will continue to lose value, then they sell when they can in order to avoid complete loss.

People will just dump their tokens if they feel pressure about how the market prices are continuously dropping but aside from that, most of the professional traders are still holding their coins because they already have a good experience.

Any coin being dumped by the team is actually a scam. No team who believe in their product will dump their coin. So dumping is as a result of scam. The community dumping on the team is understandable but for the team to dump is scam

Yes i have seen many trader sell their token for loss and i dont know the reason, personally i still believe crypto and there are still chance to going up later. I have seen many token dumped 1/20 and this is beyond my prediction. This year is bad season for crypto but later the price will back to all the times high again because when the price very cheap is more easy to push the price.

I think people sell their precious token when they are in a badly need. Because If we take a look around we can really loss a huge amount of profit if we sell in a very low price specially the precious coin, that is really a mistake, so then i believe that there is a big reason why people sell in low price even if they know that it is not necesary.

usually people make token prices and some other cryptocurrency drop prices at the exchange place because they might usually be in need of money so that they sell their assets at very cheap prices.

Many traders have not understood the fundamental behind a token they bought ,and this result in selling their token at a low price.
Many traders don't know the problems the developers of a precious tokens aims to solve and once the traders don't make profit immidiately they dump at ridiculous low price.
People dump their precious tokens at ridiculous price especially when whales are interest on a that precious tokens and as a result of that place high sell order just to make the people fill their buy orders or dump at a low price.
People are dump precious  tokens at ridiculous price when the developers are working on the product/service instead of listing the tokens on many exchanges,and this occurs due to impatience.

easy, meaning they are impatient and may be wasteful when they succeed

Because they get affected by fuds. They panic sell because of the fud being spread on the internet of that coin. They sell it even if it's a loss for them because they think that token will crash a lot. They don't know it's just a trap by whales to buy more cheap tokens and after they accumulated enough they will start to pump it. We should not sell our tokens for very low price because it won't do any good to us unless it's an emergency.

It's a trend, whenever a token get listed on an exchanges , the beginning buying price is always high and it will gradually decrease in value because alot will dump, that's why people make sure that they will be the first to dump.

Most people who invested in ICO expect to make some X and get rich ;D But in reality straight after ICO, especially in this market conditions, price of tokens is going down hard.And they afraid to loose everything, so they dump in hope to save at least something.

The case is reverse because people are not smart investors here and they just want the money in quickest way possible. So for that they are either not making the decisions very peacefully or they just hurry the stuff of selling and thus end up loosing money. I mean they are just dumping out of the fear of loosing the money!! Many times people are not even studying the market properly and they are just making the decisions by what they are looking at, for example, if the coins dumping then dump and dont see it as opportunity to buy.  :o

because they are likely these investors have no confidence in ico or some of the tokens invested in them and made them desperate until they finally sold the tokens they had at very cheap prices.

Almost everybody want to have their investment back, at least, their capital back, they are fear of missing out, and willing to sell in a ridiculous low price just to get their money back, though everybody want to buy low and sell high but the real situation won't such easy.

It is normal behaviour to try to "save what i have left". People who have not done their research on the r´project or stayed too long in a losing trade.

Investors who have done their research and truly believe in the project will never do this. Experienced traders whos trade went terribly south left the trade at 1% loss.

So my answer to your question "why?" is: due inexperience.

I think they dump because they see another opportunity and can't wait anymore for some gains in the 1st project. They also are afraid to loose even more than they already lost.

Well, it have many reasons. Many peoples set a low stop-loss price, and exchange dumped to match all of that price to "kill stop-loss". Or another is bounty hunter, they just need money and sell with any price.

Usually who sells at a low price is the people who earned tokens in the bounty . They want to get their profit faster and they don't care that they kill the market . An investor who has invested his money will never do so .

When people lose faith and couldn't see beyond present condition of cryptocurrency market,  they try to salvage whatever is left of their losses!  I noticed that many times,  the prices of many token do not change in bitcoin or ethereum,  buy in fiat!

Panic sell when they see its dumping..afraid to lose more than gain Some still cant control their emotions on trading some just affected by fuds and some really need money so badly maybe these are the reasons i see why some dump their coins..

People react to every fud by panicking and dumping afterwards. It's like a routine now. Every seller wants to sell lower than the first ask. I think It's mainly because of the bearish market trend. Another attribute to this is the use of bot to manipulate prices. The bot just sets lower asks to make the price go even lower. Coz a sane trader won't dump at loss except there's bad news or fud.

some say that maybe some tricks from big investors, they deliberately make panic the new coin holders in order to follow his steps to sell coins at low prices and without you realizing the price of coins will rise in some time, so my advice rest assured if you have valuable coins to sell according to the standard value

Maybe they sell because they have already benefited from selling at a low price, maybe they sell because they need money, and maybe they sell because they are afraid the price will fall, there are still many reasons that might occur considering they are different users . here the point is they are doing that because FOMO- fear of missing out, as said post # 2, just the example they buy bitcoin at a very high price when the bitcoin price is high and they sell at a low price because the bitcoin price falls, they invest only because they follow the trend without knowing much about what bitcoin is, the news and potential that cryptocurrency has.

This is a very good question and it most likely deals with deep human emotional patterns.  Selling at these lows basically wipes you out.  Not sure why people do it but they have been doing it since the dawn of time.  The only thing you can do is buy up the cheap items and get paid!

I think that has become a very common thing because there will be many who sell the tokens they have if the tokens do not have good development and the products they have are not very useful because investors will be afraid to hold on too long there.

A lot of people or traders are scared. When there is little dip, they rush to sell of their valuable tokens to whales who keep on manipulating them. We have to put a stop to panic selling.

You shouldn’t blame them it’s not easy these days especially when there are lots of projects that just folds up easily, with others that are likely to be scam, so everyone is being very careful with their money and they don’t want to lose it. Maybe that price you call the lowest might be the highest that token will ever get to through out that year or so. So sometimes it’s best to sell out and find something else that is even better to invest in.

because they may not be too concerned about the development of the tokens they get with their own investment, they do it because they often compare coins with other coins where there are coins that are rising in price so he will sell old coins at low prices

Many factors lead them to make such a decision, the bounty hunter is also one of them. I think basically the manipulation of the price of a group of people for the coin, they make people psychological panic.

More precisely, the trend of the market are controlling these people, their psychology and actions are based on what is happening in the market, and of course, when the market goes down the slope, their first reaction is panic then hopefully recover but the market continues to scare them. Too many times, they are no longer calm and they will constantly sell their tokens at lower and lower prices, they are actually falling into a psychological labyrinth

Because such people are prone to panic and fear. To get rid of such a panic try to practice. Mentally imagine risky situations in the market to get used to them. Such rehearsals will make them more familiar and help reduce stress.

interesting strategy when someone throws away a lot then they try to create panic sell so the market will be more flooded with low price tokens, that's where the right time to buy back, just wait a while then the price will rebound and we become more profitable

People are panicking ! When your coin drops in value 10 times it is very painful and they are morally depleted.

There are different reasons people dump their assets at a low price.
Most Bounty hunters dumping, cause every return counts as gain since their was no financial investment.
Investors do it sometimes, if they received large bonuses, they can dump and take profits.

Fear is one thing that usually makes people to change their decisions by cutting the loss or dump their coins/tokens. Afraid that the price will actually go down even deeper if they keep holding it is normal. Emotions can change everything including plans that have been carefully made.

They are just completely shaken by continuous price fluctuations and the spread of FUDS anywhere. It is also the result of their lack of knowledge about cryptos and immaturity on how to hold their crypto assets no matter how bad the condition of the market.

I can speculate that bounty hunters have no choice but to dump their tokens. I mean they have work so hard to earn it and they think that it can give them a good potential profits. However, when things go wrong, they panic and willing to dump everything because they think that all their hard work is gone if they keep on going to a token that keeps on going down. So better at least get some profit instead of nothing.

Indeed, some investors, especially people who're just new into Crypto. I think they're just scared that the price of the token might go down miserably, they're scared that they might lose a bigger loss than what they can lose in that price. I also think that FUD is one of the reason why people dump their token at low price.

well probably that's pure panic in that particular instance. They are afraid that they would recieve less than that despite of being low already at that point which is surely a bad thing. Investors should be firmed nd should never settle on what's okay but rather what is best. So since there's more on holding, selling therefore is not a good idea no matter what problem the market is facing.

When the project is nice and a token is good and its potencial is great in the future I can not afford to buy my tokens at a cheap price.

Dumping are being done by the bounty hunters just because the got the token as a reward based on their effort in promoting the project. But one thing they do not understand is that their time, energy both physical and intellectual are resources. I think the best thing the project owners can do is to pay the hunter with Ether or any other Altcoins  so that once their token is out the price will not be eroded by dumping.

There are many inexperienced investors whenever they read or hear about bad news related to electronic money, they will immediately want to get out of the market, not that they do not need profit anymore but rather the fearful person is always mentally there will be a sharp decline in the price of electronic money. So they just want to make quick money and not believe in the future of electronic money, so they are selling now. Everyone wants to make a profit, even if you have made a lot of money, you will still want to invest and achieve more.

Well i think they really allot a specific amount of token to dispose of when they start a bounty and they should already be aware that this is most likely what will happen. Bounty hunters don't really go for the token itself but it's btc or eth equivalent.

These people have a very rich imagination. They think like that: OK, if I do not sell my cryptocurrencies now, in several days all of the alts I have can cost a zero. Do not panic - the cryptos will grow.

Unfortunately, one thing they have failed to understand is that panic does not solve anything and if everyone who is extremely wealthy in crypto now had panic, I am pretty sure none of them would have ended up reaping the benefit as it is. It is normal for those who really got into the space for no knowledge since they got the wrong mindset anyway and all they were ever after was getting rich quick which makes it difficult for them to face the long term reality when it kicks in.

You cannot afford to buy your tokens at a cheap price if it has potentials? Or you are trying to say you cannot afford to sell. There will always be weak hands in the market and some who would not mind to sell their tokens at a very low price and until those weak hands are out.

A lot of people blame the bounty hunters for dumping at any cost since they do not really understand the real value of the coin during ICO anyway. These are the caliber of weak hands we talk about, and most whales usually start the dumping process just to buy at a much lower price eventually.

The reason is not far fetched it is just simple because the got the token as a reward. They are bounty hunters who did not acquire the token by buying during ICO. They forgot that the mental  and physical  energy used during the task for the bounty campaign and of course time is money. The felt that there is no need to look for profit as far as there is no physical cash involved in getting those token so it could be dispose at any price. Dumping is even killing the ICO market indirectly because investors will soon lose interest since they are no longer making profit from their investment.

I think there might be a number of reasons behind coin dumping when people don't care about losses. Sometimes we need money and can't find other ways besides selling our precious coins. I see it as an opportunity to buy potential currencies at low prices.

I think people dump their coins because they're afraid that the coin's price will drop lower and lower and they will lose all their investment money. The key to online trading is to be able to control your emotion. You have to be patient and not panicking all the time. Because panic can cause you wrong decision and you don't want that to be happen.

Fear of the unknown is actually one major factor. However, the main factor I will like to point out is ignorance. Some are just so into the ideology of getting rich fast that they forget to understand that life is never fashioned that way and only if they could realize this before they will be able to attune themselves to the mindset of being patient for it.
All they are after is just getting out as long as they are able to get something out of it even at loss, and forgetting this will always be a strategy for them to get thrown out of the market as a weak hand eventually.

People have various reason for investing in cryptocurrency, either short or long-term investment. Also, people have various challenges and principle that affect their investment sense. Some doesn't have places to borrow money with low or no interest, while some person dumps out of fear of the unknown. As big as the world, so are challenges. And without selling, there will be no buying which is the essence of trading. Someone will always benefit in the end.

In fact it's  about timeframes. Imagine a person collects a briefcase for the keeping him for the next three years. Another person do a selling in inside the day. Hence the feeling of chaos in some market participants.

All in the panic. The person sometimes a hate cryptocurrency market. Wants to leave this game. After when he see a grow, he will be buying again. ICO investors  can to sell  own tokens.

Actually, no one likes to lose his money. Even on one likes to sell his tokens without getting profit. But all the sells on the lower price only cause the panic. When anyone afraid of their capital then they failed to take the right decision. I think all the losses cause is the panic.

Oh, maybe. But I think the main reason is the fear. People see the market problems and they are afraid to lose more. Thus, these guys are ready to sell alts to get at least something.

Mainly fear had forced people to sell early and it has been linked to panic which could literally affects our emotions, so our minds will instantly initiate a final decision to pick that low price in the market bids or offers. Later on after weak hands did something not suppose to happen, regrets eventually stressed out a person who chooses a wrong decision. It's important to have strong resources that could provide us inputs from the coins holding you have so you couldn't sell your asset at earlier time with a very low price.

Another reason is they fear that their holdings will go to zero, most of crypto holders are more fearful than focus for long term perspective. Emotions is the real enemy when it comes to investing and weak people are easy to be manipulated by big players fake crash they make are literally catastrophic.

You want to lose a little or lose a lot ? That's why everyone dumped the token when it was just listed. All there is in common is fear in front of the bear market. They fear the price will be lower so they sell all

It's simple. Majority of people in cryptocurrencies are not so familiar in trading. That's why the illiteracy in trading, makes people dump tokens at low price.

Their are quite a lot of people that dump their tokens at ridiculous low prices because they feel that prices are falling drastically and the newbies cannot withstand this and this makes the sell at a huge loss just to salvage some of their capital. This is the reason people sell. Fear

Most likely there is talk about the fact that the bear market of people absorbed by fear. Fear prevents people from thinking sensibly. And this leads to the adoption of wrong decisions.
Also, many market participants are uneducated and inexperienced, they do not know how to behave now. Many of them probably assume that the market has come to an end, so they are in a hurry to sell all their coins to take at least some money.

People who get hold of these tokens don't consider them to be precious, otherwise they wouldn't dump them at such a ridiculous rate. You can typically see that the majority of the idiots that dump below ICO price are bounty hunters from third world countries, even at ridiculousloy low rates they're happy with the return they're getting so dump their tokens the moment they appear on an exchange for whatever the highest buy order is, even if that's 1/10 ICO price as is often the case.

Those who dumped their coins don't know if what they hold is precious tokens, or maybe they really need some money so they have no choice beside sell their coins. If real holder, they wouldn't dump their cryptos with that reason.

Since I did that as well several times, this is one of the reasons for sure, e. g. people that want to buy on the deepweb instantly.

They actually trying not to loose All of all their Invest if they see a total dump to their token that they buy. Panic selling what I've seen commonly.

This people who dump their tokens at a very low price are the ones who lacks knowledge in crypto currencies and they are ruled with their panic situation.

maybe they are afraid if the price of the token falls and maybe they are in need of money so that they sell the tokens or coins they have at a very cheap price.

People are money thirsty, they don`t believe in anything else except in the money in their hands. For many people crypto is money making machine, they exploit crypto to make money, they don`t believe in technology, they don`t think about the future. Look at the comments, topics, do you have any conclusions? How smart people are? How much they understand, how much they are ready to work and invest a lot of energy, time and many other things to achieve something great. Nothing is for tomorrow, but people think it is that`s why they sell everything today and they don`t have patience to wait. Some coins is worth keeping, find them hold to them and invest what you can to have it more, and hold them for the future, not every of them will be great, but some of them will rock the world.

Maybe the tokens were never precious to them? They needed money badly?  I wouldn't even dump all the less precious ones..I would sell 50—75% (if I need money badly) and still retain 25%.
 The developers of these tokens aren't helping matter either . You don't expect people to hold while you are doing nothing.
I just think if people find your coins worth holding they will definitely hold.

The continuous decline in 2018 has exceeded the stamina of many investors who have kept the coin for long periods of time and it continues to depreciate. Hoping for a lot of disappointment when watching the coin holdings are constantly sold out that causes many investors to accept losses to sell their coins.

Some really do not care as long as they have been able to make some substantial profit. However, it would not make any sense for a sane investor to dump the market at loss as long as the project is still actively intact and not dead.
If it is precious to them, they won't dump it at a ridiculously low price unless some life challenges hit them and they just had to find a way to get out of those challenges to make them sell even at the low price.

I think most of the people who are doing this way are those who are greedy enough to earned money. They don't care about the price and all they want is to sell it immediately because they are afraid that it will go down deep in just a short period of time.

Who knows the reason only for themselves. But I think they are worried that the crypto market will not go up again. They don't want to be caught in a worse situation. Maybe they have been waiting for a few months when the market doesn't recover. So they take steps to sell coins even though they lose.

That is the possible scenario. Losing faith in cryptocurrency and even at a loss, they are selling it. Continues  FUD news and uncertainty in government policies adds to this sell off. I hope this problem will be solved and all stakeholders should iron out this issues.

Actually usually it happens because of stop losses and trades desires to protect their deposits, that see crashing price and try to save. Actually these falling knifes are opportunities to catch cheap prices.

Most people would say that we should hold no matter what would be the price but it wont really be that easy because the pressure and stress you would really feel wont really be that mild. Thinking up the most important action to be made when you do see your investment do keeps on falling. For some they do cut-loss and might made the right decision because not all coins will recover after a fall.It would still matter on a mix of little luck.

People sometimes necessary to dump there precious crypto coins in order to support there needs even though in my own cryptco coins,in order to support my three hierachy needs in life,i must sell and dump sometimes some of my precious altcoins  and swallow my pride so that i can feed mu siblings or even my self in times of necessity.

Psychological fear of market crash is the main reason that investors sell all their tokens with low prices. The market of cryptocurrency has led many to fail so investing in this market has become a huge fear of investors.

The most of the new investors are entering the market on hypes and investing on an increasing market.
After it, when the bearish cycle arrive many of them in panic and selling their coins with loss. Some of them just
using stop loss and do not want to lose more. If they were investing into shitcoins it is not a bad strategy to get
 rid of them, even with loss, as there is no guarantee that they will ever recover.

It is by now clear that in this cryptospace the normal pattern of behavior of investors are amplified in an extreme way, almost insane. People believe that assets either "go to the moon" or that they get "dumped to zero". And their beliefs become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Can be crypto market in financial crisis,  and more people need fiat money to buy daily expenses, that why many trader sell their token in loss. But crypto is not dead,  in other times will back for bull run.

Have you checked the prices of tokens after the initial dump? In more than 80% of the cases, they go even lower during the next few weeks or months. I am saying this out of my own experience.

People sell their crypto assets because they are frightened and inexperienced. Many small traders came to the market for quick money, none of them wanted to really understand the trade and how to work in the crypto market. Therefore, we now see such a situation in the market.

There are several reasons and possibilities. even manipulation can also be the reason behind it. yeah cutlose can also be the reason when conditions deteriorate. of course they will sell it no matter the cheap price. but if the conditions are still good and they are actually dumping it. tis very possible they want to make manipulations so that the market has a low price

there are many choices in short-term trading, cl is the best way to be more minimal in dealing with asset losses. at least they can form a recovery pattern from asset capital by trading it on other coins. this is a logically arranged pattern. If you are an active trader, then profits are the most important in any difficult situation.

I think this is a trap for players of the old sharks. They bring fear, greed of traders. Turn them into tools to be able to eat your prey. And surely sharks will always need interest, be patient

It seems that who do these is private investors and bounty hunters, why is that? Because in the private sales stage investors get more bonuses with very cheap prices than investors in the pre-ICO and ICO stages. So even though they sell it below the ICO price, I think they still get profit or at least the capital is return. On the other hand, bounty hunters get tokens for free. So even though they sell it at cheap prices, I think that is no problem because the most important thing for them is to get money.

in my opinion this is not a trap but a kind of self-will, people throw valuable tokens at ridiculous prices maybe because they already do not believe and have been saturated with the price decline that has not gone up.

I know that there are options through which you can continue to earn. Personally, I use daily trading for these purposes. This helps me to ignore the current trend in the market.
Of course, I’m sorry to see how many people have surrendered and either sold all their assets or preferred to do nothing. Well, this is the choice of each of them.

we dont have enough knowledge about projects and also maybe use their hot money to invest in any projects.so when its price goes down they become so panic and sell it in any price.and big players has role in this situation.
