Hi,
According to you what do you think is the main problem at the moment in the crypto world?
So why we don't see real life adoption yet and so on.

According to me the answer is simple. People from the general public treats crypto as a new style high risk gambling. They don't take it seriously.
Why?
I think the main reason is the moonboys and Fudsters. According to my experience as an admin (Yggdrash admin, we got over 20400 telegram member..)
unnecessary Fud and also shouting 100x and expecting 100x within weeks also does make lot's of harm to every project.
Also quite often the Fudster people who shout 0 one day next day they will be the moonboys.
This type of behaviour very harmful and misleading for new investors. Also it leads to only many disappointed new investors who will leave the crypto world entirely mainly. This will also hinder any sort of adoption at the end of the day.
As administrators and opinion influencers we should have and we have a responsibility to bring more sanity into the crypto world. What we lack of is sanity and balanced view in the crypto world. A coin either must go to the moon or must go to 0. Come on, this is so ridiculous and predictable. If someone shout fud and say this coin go to 0, this means those people want to get the coin at the cheapest possible price level. If their fud operation was successful, suddenly a week later, new people will appear who will be the classic example to the moonboys. So in Crypto everything can change and turn into upside down only within weeks or less. This is not normal and not really helpful for wider adoption at all.
As an investor since I have invested a lot into Yggdrash and other projects as well of course I believe that my investments will go to moon but it will take years for sure and also the team must deliver and this won't happen due to a magic mushroom. So I think you get what I am saying.

What is your opinion?
I think this is an important topic, and very broad topic as well.

Its the wild west as they say. Even with the regulations coming its going to stay that way and the only solution that has to be done by investors is to research which project they support. You will not mind the fud if you knew the team can deliver. So much project had been created in the past and if they survived the great crypto winter of 2018, they will survive til the adoption is realized.

That is true. If the team will deliver then everything is fine. If we survive this deadly Crypto Winter then nothing can stop us.

Survival of the fittest in short. On this current market condition we have seen which coin stood strong and those who die or almost hits its price to the floor.
Main problem of crypto is adoption but eventually no matter how hard we do think off we cant really go to a point that we can able to go on full scale. Cryptomarket would just retain into its
place and as part of the cycle we would really able to see between bearish and bullish scenarios.

I have strong faith in full market adoption, hence I have invested hard and took big risk in my investment decisions. I have lost already more than £15000 due to two scams which I have invested in. At least £15000 maybe £16000.

Hello.

The main problem is educating the whole world of what crypto really is. And we can't stop those people that are educating the people the wrong way and gives wrong perspective about crypto. This creates confusion for those aspiring investors who wants to get started to crypto's. Instead of being encouraged and confident about crypto's adoption in real life, those FUDs and negative perspective and opinions gives them the reason of not pursuing it. So in short, it is the FUD and fake news that comes out.

The problem is the mainstream media they somehow easily influence the general public that bitcoin is a ponzi scheme and even gets worse when some big names spread FUD like jp morgan CEO of goldman sach's who was telling people crypto is a scam but recently bought and heavily invested in btc. So i think this whole thing is just a show to bring down the price for institutional investors to buy in cheap. Haven't you heard blockchain is getting mass adopted, facebook crypto token is coming, bakk and fidelity is investing in crypto. So I think there's a big adoption coming.

Yes exactly. Big money want this to get the cheapest possible way. Cheaper than 3130. However I doubt whether they can have this even maybe at 2900. BTC won't go to 1500. If yes, I go all in at that point.
Yes, the media and Jamie Dimon and all the big company happy to use all the nasty tricks, and fake news and so on just to get it cheap.

I agree. We have a responsibility to bring some sanity and balanced view and create some clarity instead of confusion and unnecessary Fud.

Moonboys and FUDsters ain't the only problem, most of it are ICOs with unicorn promises. If I have the money, I won't care about the price, I would just need to know the technology behind cryptocurrencies and tokens. Some newbie investors ain't asking for ROI, these people are the true futurists. But the majority of newbies wants to hear 1000x and the convenience of using it.

Well yeah, I am a futurist for sure, however if something is useful that will be successful and eventually this will mean also a very good ROI isn't it? Which is good.

Sure, yes once I was a beginner and for me to pay the beginners mistake cost me at least around £15000 loss straight away. I have invested into two scams. Once was maybe only a failed project and not a scam, but it is hard to decide what was it:)

Everything is clear and everything is fair in crypto currency only those who got less information are little confuse and they are not sure about their thinking about investments. We need to be confidence and we need to learn skills and we should invest as much as we can. The market move will be upward if we will keep on investing.

Yes, especially if we invest into the right projects even if they are risky investments. Yes, obviously invest into more than one project. Diversification is super thing even if you got one main project like I do have one main investment as my name suggests that:)

Mass adoption takes time. Even cell phones aren't ubiquitous after all this time. It took more than 20 years to reach 80-90% world market penetration.

We can't just instantly get to worldwide adoption, especially since Bitcoin is still so new and experimental. Think about it, Bitcoin was bootstrapped from nothing! It began with one online pseudonym publishing the software on a mailing list. The rate of cryptocurrency adoption is quite astonishing when you think about that. Its use has spread across the world and supposedly 5%+ of all people in developed countries like the U.S. now own some.

The moonboys are just a byproduct. The limited supply of Bitcoin and other coins means that as adoption increase, price increases. You can't have massive investment gains in crypto markets and then expect people not to chase those gains. It's human nature, greed.

in many projects it is not necessary to believe as half of it is a Scam...solid Scam. if you now participate in many ico then what some and shoot one hundred percent) do not even think to stop there)if you stop everything and nothing in the wallet and will not be replenished)

I think you are right.

To my opinion at the moment the biggest problem at the crypto market is lack of new investors. On the other hand there is a problem with existing investors who often have too big expectations and are to greedy for unreal profit. Also, after a huge progress of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and increasing number of users it looks now like this process started to slow down and we are still far away from mass afoption. Cryptocurrencies still have a long way to go.

I guess bitcoin must be doing now also its magic of attracting new investors but selling pressure from whales and other bitcoiners seem bigger than new investors. It means we need more new investors or few billionaires need to start adopting bitcoins to overcome those selling pressures.

Mass adoption may not start at one particular day. It is a long and continuous progress and I guess it has already started some years back itself. One of the main problem of bitcoin and bitcoiners must be, lack of merchants accepting bitcoins for our life's daily needs. I guess that problem will find its solution when more people start using bitcoins as a currency rather than using bitcoins as an investment assets.

Talk about Bitcoin with any newbie, most of the time they will ask you this: what can I actually buy with Bitcoin?

And the answer for now is: very few things, unless you are in a country such as Japan. .. so for me this is the major issue with crypto currencies (in general) nowadays. Very few adoption for using it in daily life. But we will get there.

Lack of regulation in crypto is the biggest issue for this market. Due to no control over digital currencies, there are many scam schemes which allow people to gain money through scam ico and such stuff. If everything is regulated, not only price of bitcoin and altcoin will be stable, but at same time only quality ICO will come which will help people to gain benefits.

Nice summary. The adoption will increase with the increase of prices. I know we have a dip at the moment but BCH is still more than 100% more compare to its lowest point.

I guess we are more motivated to use it when we bought it at 3130 or this sort of price and we are using it when it is over 20000. Especially those guys who bought BTC at 1$ and they have used at 20000$:)

In Shoreditch , in London you can pay for your coffee and beer in quite some pubs with Bitcoin. Also you can buy BMW with Bitcoin and so on. Also in Canada you can buy jewelry and diamond with Bitcoin and so on. Obviously we need more adoption and more wide usage and this is especially true for other altcoins and new ecosystems such as Ethereum Classic and Yggdrash and so on.

Indeed, in some countries Bitcoin is usable to buy stuff. My point was that it is far from being the case in many countries.
I can only talk for myself, being from a Western country of Europe, where Bitcoin is not usable to buy anything, most of my friends or relatives always ask me the same question, what can you buy? And from my personal experience, I only used Bitcoin to play poker or bet on sports, that's the only service I bought with Bitcoin.
But I would love to be able to buy flight tickets with Bitcoin in the future, or cars, real estate, etc. Still a long way, hope we will get there eventually.

Where do you live then?:)

Where do you live then?:)
[/quote]Sorry buddy I always wish to keep anonymity here :) but let's say I live in a Western country of Europe :) not the most crypto friendly country, BUT I have double residence and live most of the year in an Asian country where I can feel the difference. Asia is what keeps me interested into cryptocurrencies, also what made me buy some XRP a week ago.  

Do you live in North America?

I’m not surprised by anything and I don’t really think there is any problem anywhere, cause things are just as it should be. I know most of these Bitcoin enthusiasts just wants everyone to be making use of Bitcoin as a currency, but that’s not going to work.

Things don’t just come out from nowhere and you expect everyone to make use of it, when there is already a system they believe and trust so much. Things are in the way they are meant to be.

I'm lucky that I living in a country in Asia wherein crypto has started, I have used it not to buy things, but I can readily pay most of my bills thru bitcoin so it's a very welcoming experience. I have some of my bitcoin holding separated from the bitcoins I earned for that payment purposes only. But yes, generally speaking its not yet adopted globally and it might take sometime before people can learn and will used it for their daily life.

Yes lots of investors we have here are just very greedy. Maybe it would have been best if Bitcoin remained a bit stable at first and not so crazy volatile as it was then and now. Another problem is what we have made people believe about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole. We made people believe cryptocurrency is where they can invest and make money immediately while that is not true.

Of course, regulatory issues in several countries are the main problem and the prohibition on the circulation of cryptocurrency will become a FUD for the cryptocurrency. Considering the government is only worried if the cryptocurrency is misused. While the mindset of society can change over time if they understand what the purpose of the cryptocurrency was created and the support of the government make the cryptocurrency more widely known.

The main issue that I see is that people do not really see a reason to adopt cryptocurrencies, they see what they can do with them and they do not understand why they will need to use a cryptocurrency when they can use their fiat for the very same thing, they do not really understand what is the purpose of cryptocurrencies and until they do that adoption is still going to be as low as it is now.

I think, these moonboys and fudsters cannot carry on if the market is regulated. People buy the FUDs they are spreading because of the uncertainty of the future of crypto. So apparently, the main reason is the lack of regulation. Had the market been regulated, things are not this worst for all of us. I strongly believe that the crypto market desperately needs to be regulated and legalized. That's the only time we can ensure full trust and back-up from the community, which undeniably is important in stabilizing the market values.

The main problem that you are facing now is value down again and again for long time this year will not be the right here for Crypto user so many people will not continuing this journey for long time and it will not good for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency field.

There are several problems but its best to describe them as challenges because its surely something that can be surmounted. One of the dominant one among the rest is the issue of regulations which has been a significant challenge in the mouth of many. It has become so bad that almost every finance person who is aware of current happenings have maintained that this is the major drawback for adoption but I believe that as education and awareness of crypto continues, this misconception would be cleared eventually.

I look forward for the times when I can pay my utility bills with my Yeed, which is our currency at Yggdrash. This time will come when the mainstream adoption has happened already.

What I do hope that this is the end of the Bear market and we are already in the bull market.

I think Main problem of crypto is adoption but eventually no matter how hard we do think off we cant really go to a point that we can able to go on full scale.

What do you mean under full scale? What would be full scale to you?

The problem is that, people are easily get frustrated and they are easily be afraid whenever there are a slight changes in the market. They are easily drawn to what manipulative people leads them. The market is already fell and people are panicking. Its all natural, but if you will go mainstream, you cannot be on the rocket whenever that market lands on moon.

We need to find a reason of why the adoption of bitcoin or crypto is less or not as much as it should be. The reason for this is that bitcoin price is not stable and it is too much volatile. When the price is so much volatile, no buyer will be willing to accept it as a payment method, as they never know if its value become less in matter of hours.

Not only volatile but the downward pressure was the most damaging part. However I think we are already in an uptrend. I know some people say BAKKT delay and ETF denial which will bring us to the capitulation phase.
I would like to bet against them.

It is not easier to convince people to adopt a completely different and new system by leaving off what they have been into for generations. Moreover, bitcoin is highly technical based and people need at least an internet connection to kick start with bitcoin ecosystem. I believe these are two prime reasons why bitcoin adoption is not at a pace like we are all expecting. I too agree that lack of adoption by new people must be a main problem with crypto market by this time.

Due to lack of adoption by new people, I believe bitcoin is fluctuating weirdly and I just see that many people are considering volatility of crypto markets as their main problem right now. I believe when we are having more new people start adopting bitcoins, this fluctuation problem will be eliminated.

Once we are mainstream the volatility will never be an issue again. It will be sorted. Soon Crypto will govern the world. Amen.

I don't that its really that much tough because people are educated and there are allot of systems which are able to satisfy those who are uncertain about investing money into crypto. According to me the actual problem are those who once buy and then sell for panic which causes price fall. This way I advise everyone to hold their coin and never make the market fall.

Yeah right. Many people with their panic sell had caused lot's of damage to the market. However after I did hold my coins through the whole bear market I can understand them why were they so anxious at the first place.

Volatility is a gift to the market at the current stage, not something that works against us. Stable prices at this stage do more harm than good, and we have seen that play out more than once already.

Volatility translates into volume and more interest. Stability translates into low volumes and less interest. People are here for a reason, and that reason is what will continue to attract people in the coming years.

Just browse through social media and this forum when there is no volatility--people get bored and focus on other things. Stability will come when use becomes the main reason for people to be here, which will take years.

Well I look forward to the time when for instance YGGDRASH and other altcoin project's product will be used in our everyday life. Like I can buy bread for Yeed and so on;) At the end of the day Crypto is a radical idea and we want to change the whole world. It is not less than that. Create a new currency out of thin air. Amazing concept.

There is no problem with Bitcoin, people just to make it a problem for themselves and that’s none of my concern, I only care about myself and not what people thinks. This is working for me, so I gotta keep in investing in it as long as I’m making money from it.

That it doesn’t work for them doesn’t mean it is not working for me. Yes it is volatile and a lot of people complain about that,but I don’t really care,this is an asset and what do you expect?

Thanks for your encouragement. I need to start to make money with this as well:)

We should find out the reasons why adaption is the main hurdle in crypto currecny. If you analysis you will find the bitcoin price is changing every day. You bought bitcoin at 4000$ and next day it can be 3800$ or 42000$, we never know. This much movement in the price is certainly not good for the adaption as people like to use money which is stable in value.

Sure, and bitcoin is the most stable one. Other altcoins moving 100% within a month. Yggdrash as well. So this is an amazing opportunity at this price point. We are early adaptors.

The problem is not only in the crypto markets, the problems are everywhere now. Oil is getting cheaper, the EU is disintegrating, China is increasing its influence, prices are falling in all markets. Last year showed what cryptocurrencies are capable of, so many countries were simply not ready to lose the influence of their currencies and values, joint decisions were made and the policy of restraining the development of digital currencies is supported by the most influential people of our world. Now crypto markets are experiencing a period of capture and distribution of influence, you just have to wait a bit and the situation will become clear very soon.

Yes, soon we will increase despite of all uncertainty. Such as Brexit no deal risk, all the big ones are failing such as Apple, Amazon and so on. I think we are heading towards another huge financial crash when the Crypto world can excel.

[/quote]Unrelated but you keep mentioning about Yggdrash, why the enthusiasm about this project? Are you part of the team?

Why would you recommend this coin rather than any other coin on the market at the moment? I cannot say I found much solid info about it.

There are fraudsters everywhere, they don’t only exist in the crypto world, they are everywhere.
First of all, you should know that crypto–currency is not a currency, so don’t expect everyone to be making use of it. Then as for not getting mainstream adoption, I think that’s because of the volatility, based on personal research, a lot of people don’t like Bitcoin or any cryptocurrencies because they are volatile.

Most of these people find it interesting that they will make money from it (in fact, quick money if there happens to a Bull run) but the fact that they can also lose at the same rate at which they can achieve it scares them out. People wants profit without risk, only investors understands that you need to take risk at times.

We were at 0.0000005 Eth at Bilaxy which was a huge crash, now the price back to 0.00000279 which is still very cheap but higher than that super low price. For that mega low price Yggdrash is a no brainer.

Am I part of the team? I represent the team in London, I am an Ambassador to the team, also I am one of the early investor into the project. I have invested a lot during the pre-sale, which was not that much but that time it was a lot to me especially on that super expensive Ethereum price.
Later I bought more and again more and more. Dollar Cost average. The price kept falling and falling. At the moment we are at 0.06x so it is mega cheap.
We have a very strong domesticated Fud team who is working hard to spread Fud related to us, which is nice. Like when Ethereum was new they have also faced with enormous Fud.

If I want to be frank, I must admit, we have one issue which is not Fud and real, which is the following that the team requested to stop deposits on Bitsonic. It was one of our first exchange and South Korean one with huge volume. Since then we are going down. The question is when will the team to request the  re-enabling of the deposit on Bitsonic. Then we will instantly achieve a 3x for sure. Minimum.
So to summarize it we have a revolutionary technology , Mainnet Q3 2019. At the moment despite all of these good qualities it is quite risky to invest into Yggdrash due to the Bitsonic issue which is not fud. The rest is all fud and nonesense such as exit scam and all the rest of the nonesense. If you manage to buy Yggdrash at bottom price that is good since then you can achieve 2-3x very fast even without Bitsonic which have happened today as well. I couldn't buy any Yggdrash at those bottom prices.

Obviously there is no profit without risk. No pain, no gain. Also I look at my altcoins and Ethereum and Yeed as a currency and I want to be able to buy services and items in the future with them. Our ultimate goal is function as a currency and not only a toy to play with but a real power which transform the whole society and economy.

Sure, and bitcoin is the most stable one. Other altcoins moving 100% within a month. Yggdrash as well. So this is an amazing opportunity at this price point. We are early adaptors.

Also I forgot to mention one great news.

https://twitter.com/YggdrashNews/status/1082540723998605312

 #YGGDRASH's #YEED was nominated as one of the Top 3 Coins from '2018 Korea's Best Coins' by Korea Coin Awards! So this is great and superb achievement despite of the huge fall in our market price.
Well you know, the smart people buying in when something is cheap and not when something is overpriced. We are superbly undervalued.

Cryptolabs opinion:
We think the main interesting thing(problem) of Cryptomarket is lack of legal regulation, lack of security markets and permissiveness of big guys.
Of course you may say for protect about blockchain tech and more-more-more, but actually it is does not give safe position for crypto community.

Well right mate we are the people who are the main reason for high and low market ratting. If we will hold out coins and we will not sell them at panic then everything will again gets better too fast but as i said now is great time we can buy more coins to store and late on we can sell high at the same time the problem of panic selling will be resolved.

So you may just wait for solution of community.

Sure, I agree. Community is crucial. Also hodl your coin. I am a big hodler and I did pay a huge price for my hodling strategy so far, but I will reap the rewards in the bull market:)

Cryptocurrency is not physical and I don’t think people are ready to adopt it the way it is. Majority of the people are not ready to be using devices anytime they want to make payments in a store , they prefer to pay with cash. And there are lots of business that prefers the current system cause it works best than making use of crypto. Trying to explain this will be a very long story and I’m not going to do that right now.

Well in London people do pay min contactless. With their contactless visa card. So that visa card can be replaced by a Contactless Crypto card. Probably you live in a different country.

Okay. That is your position. We cannot make community opinion better, but we may help to resolve some position about crypto.

The main problem with the crypto at the moment that the lackness of new investors because dumping situations new investors fear to invest.hence market volume will not increase then the main problem create.

I don’t think adoption is really a problem to the crypto market and I also don’t think it was meant to be a currency like some people claim. All these people saying all that are just some cryptocurrency fans that never get their facts right before spitting it out lol.

The only thing might be a problem is the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies, but to me that’s not really problem as long as I’m investing in the best coins, especially the top coins like Bitcoin and ETH. Volatile nature will remain intact for near future too as this is how basic concepts of cryptocurrencies was designed. We need to accept and bear it if we decide to adopt cryptos.

I think , this is getting better. Have you witnessed the recent huge Agrello mega pump? I did sell mine at 4000 , It went up to 4549 as well in Bitcoin. Well I bought much higher than this ages ago but it was good anyway despite of my loss in fiat. Yeah the interest is not so great but it was even lower a few weeks ago. So all what I say is that the worst is behind and now we are getting into the bull market. This is already bull market, unless if we will see a lower low.

Later on it will be less volatile and they will act more like a traditional asset such as stocks, once we are mainstream which will happen pretty fast. Next 5 years.

Regulations, bans and hack incidents. Regulations make it hard for our fellow traders who are obliged to pay a huge percentage of taxes from their profits. Bans from other countries slows the spread if info about btc in many countries. And finally, the hacks that makes crypto untrustworthy and unreliable by investors.

Capital gains tax? That is a nice problem to have. Well I have lost at the moment over £40k, so I need to get 40K profit just to be in 0. So I think, I look forward to this sort of problem once I got huge 1200x gains which will happen this year. My times have come, I have got huge positions and even bigger and bigger positions in altcoin projects, and will buy more. Best time to accumulate.
So sorry. I cannot feel sorry for anyone who made from 10000$ 1 million dollar in 2017 and early 2018 and they did cash out and now they face the tax office:)
Crypto exchange hack is a dangerous thing for sure. Regulation? Good luck to the governments:)
Try to regulate a DEX  , try to regulate Bitcoin:)
Bitcoin and any DEX and any blockchain project has the capacity to operate without the approval of the government if they would force to do that. We can operate anywhere where there is an internet and electricity basically. The internet is free. So far.

I wouldn't say it like that. Everyone investors knows the risk involved, not just in crypto but the rest of other investments portfolio, stocks, golds, it involved risk. The problem is that investors think that crypto is a get rich scheme, specially what we witnessed at the end of 2017. And when they got burned in 2018, they all bitch around because they got burned easily and doesn't want to take that risk anymore.

Yes, I agree with the FUDster but you can go and counter them and not to listen and used your better judgement. Again, it boils down to investors, specially newbies you can jump in and FOMO'ed without analyzing or studying how the market functions.

Adoption may come eventually, but it will take like 5 years to fully grasp how everything works and maybe we can see people realized that, and start to embrace crypto in general, not just individually, but governments around the world slowly adopting it.

I agree better to avoid any type of Fomo. That is always a bad move. Usually. Also I agree with your 5 years adoption prognosis. Unfortunately. I wanted to see mass adoption more rapidly but I think realistically we should expect around 5 years intervallum.

I have my own opinion, crypto world is always mysterious. there always be unpredictable situation even for Bitcoin it self as "the father of coins" because cryptocurrency having less of public trust. Wait till whole country accepted cryptocurrency as a legal payment, thats the time you can invest your asset.

That is definitely an issue, more and more people are giving up on cryptocurrencies and while this can benefits us in the short term since we can get cheap coins over the long term the bear market of 2018 has really slowed down adoption to the point that it will take a long time just to get back all the people that we lost and it is not a sure thing everyone will come back to the market.

Yes, for that you need to grab low valued potential in the market in order to accumulate them when their price drop in the market. Many people failed to grab many coins in the market when their prices are very low in the market due to market fluctuation.

we have enough investors and the problem is not with them but the problem is from small time hodlers who keeps on panicking and as a result they will sell and sell which can also lead for the dumping of the price  .

 pro investors will not always do this because they can controll themselves  . potential investors are also aware with the situation but they still doubting on whether they invest or not  . maybe they need more time to think  ,   lets wait for them  .

Which coins are you looking at waiting for a drop?
I have my main holding in Yggdrash , and currently we are extremely undervalued 0.04x also Seele might be interesting, they are at 0.1x also there are couple more interesting target.

These type of investors will fomo in, when the price is on the rise. Probably that is the worst thing what you can do. This is mass psychology. Always the same story. Most of the people love to buy in the green when everything is expensive and not when everything is cheap:) I have learnt my lesson already, it cost me a lot.

We all know the problem is this but we don't know the solution for that to change or make it more stronger than making that things in our market to be more stable but it will be easy also when you have think about that people are the main problem so people will be the solution for that.

True. The market is getting more mature. I can feel that. So I am mega optimistic towards our future and we are having at the moment an alt season, which is awesome, best time to buy more and accumulate your favourite altcoin, for me it is Yggdrash and other coins too.

The Market Is bloody situations and i aspect market will regain rich in future and market would be stable and reliable.

Bulls? Where? Do you see the real situation or just posting a blur future of crypto currency? This is out of space on this website, posting without evidence is suck.

Evidence is the following. ETF was withdrawn so basically it is like a refusal. What have happened with the price? Nothing. At least not much. So we are still above 3130$ and 78$ for Ether.
So my theory that we are already in a bull market has not been proven wrong yet. You are the one who needs to prove that this is not a bull market.
3593 is higher than 3130. Also if we got a major BAKKT delay that won't affect the price either. It is already priced in.

( Date : January 24 2019 ) So do you mean the $ 3607.07 value of bitcoin today is cause of your bulls? What kind of bull is that, a little one? Lol... Your priced in is below the belt dude.

My point is, that we are in an uptrend despite of an ETF refusal. So please close your short.

I gonna put it up, since you drive in a wrong road. What is the meaning of bull run if the market is still fall down compare from past weeks or months.

I think it needs to be accepted and recognize a lot more a good way to promote bitcoin and crypto currencies is having its own ETF. Im not saying that its necessary to have this but it will surely help bitcoin to get attention although regulations is the opposite of satoshi's vision but the price might pump even more in the long run cause institutional investors would be able to buy crypto's anytime without fearing of their government laws.

Cryptocurrency is hampered by the lack of government regulation in the field of ICO. I know that many people will not agree with me,many believe that any regulation harms cryptocurrencies. However,until 95% of cryptocurrency scams disappear, people will not trust this market and this market will not rise.

Of course. We need real use cases and real businesses and projects. There are many good altcoins so the scams will be less and less. This is what I hope and what I experience as the market is getting more mature.

The collapse of BTC pushed people away from cryptocurrency, before people saw only growth and began to take interest in buying it, and now everyone is selling cryptocurrency, and new people do not come after all, it has become risky to invest.

It`s not true. Price collapsed from ath to this point, but for people who are in crypto for years like I am this is a high bottom. I was here years ago, and from this price point things looks much better.
Hype around bitcoin and crypto 2017 made many people to make a wrong move and buy when price is rising. Where is the logic, price was around 1000 dollars in the beginning of 2017 in the end it was 20000 dollars and who is crazy enough to think that price can grow more, do you imagine straight line to the moon?
Was it risky for people to invest in bitcoin when price was under 1 dollar?

The only problem we are facing is price of crypto currencies were continuously declining for more than a year now.This is reason of many consequences like the prices were over hyped in 2017 so people had much big hope in 2018 which is taken as advantage of many big whales to make lot of money into their pockets.

BTC didn't collapse by the way. I am a YGGDRASH believer and this is not my job to defend Bitcoin however BTC is at 3597 which is higher then its bottom at 3130. So we are in a bull market already.
Your statement is not accurate at best.

I agree. Good for you that you were in the space early enough.

I disagree though, Yes the current price is above the all time low but it doesn't mean that we're in the bull market, not by a long shot. The bear still control although I believed that they are in near exhaustion right now. But it doesn't mean that the bull has taken the market from them.

When we say that we are in a bull run, the price is picking up everyday, just like we have seen in 2017, we started below $100 and ended up at $19k. But this 2019, the price continue to fall at some point then followed by a quick recovery then goes on a long sideway pattern.

Market has reached its specific level where most of people thinks it’s time to quit but mate this is time when we need such thinking like you, this year I have noticed so many positive changes in market which compiled to me to keep holding so the only issue is trust people should trust crypto at least once again because things has started to recover now.

I hold onto my investments. Thanks for your feedback. Well I am not here to promote HOT and Pundi, but they are pumping very much. What is happening with HOT? Any reason?

I don't think that its the reason why people stay away from cryptocurrency. It doesn't mean that bitcoin collapsed it is pushing people away.

Large holders just dumped bitcoin and that's why the market isn't so good and it resulted to a very bad point of view for most.

Market is on its way to recovery.

Manipulation, FUD, and whale greed are dangerous problems. Bitcoin falls because of ambition and emotion to enrich yourself.
so sad I read this topic

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4655417.0

this is the result of their greed, yesterday's hash warfare.

Thanks for the link. Interesting topic. I know what you mean. Hash warfare? What happened yesterday? What do you mean about hash warfare? You mean the hard fork when we got Bitcoin Cash SV and BCH and this caused huge problems in the space?

Whales when exit the market it creates a panic in the market and thus prices crash badly because they sell huge quantity at a time . We need to avoid at times false rumours too when this media sometimes does not understand what the government or top people have said and interpret it wrongly creating false impression in the market .

Yes it is on its way but there's obstacle that everyone has to go through and pass. The main problem isn't really the market but mostly us, who doesn't have the patience to wait for a better day for the market to restart.

Although most of the problems that were stated were correct about manipulation, fud, etc.

Patience what all we need. Especially myself. I am eager to buy more Yeed however at the moment Eth is very weak. I hope for stronger Eth prices later so I might be able to grab a better deal. However it might not happen since Yggdrash is recovering finally, which is long overdue and necessarily.

Whales ? That’s right. Does this even have anything to do with what they have been telling that has been the cause of everything ? This market is controlled by nothing, except we as the community. And for the price to go up or down depends on the rate at which we buy and sell.

Whales has got big money and they can buy huge amount of coins and whenever they dump their coins it will affect the market heavily. Whales are definitely the cause and whenever they start buying back, you will see the market going up again. I do see many people are blindly following legendary people who are usually speculate about lower markets when whales and this kind of people working together, may bring any low too.

I don't see this as a big problem, we can't just blame them, but act, just take out the people who do FUD, you also have to look from the other side, Products, Developers and how the team works also have a big influence.

It needs more adoption, more more advertisement and more attention so that a variety of investors will come to know it and possibly invest especially when the market is in the bear trend and gold's price is skyrocketing and bankd closing and freezing accounts this could be a good chance to introduce crypto to potential investors.

That is the problem of the cryptomarket now because a lot of new ICO are scam and only some of them are legit  and worth it for you. Also a lot of panic seller right now that cause for decreasing price of the token and altcoins. There is a lot of problems now in cryptocurrency that need to take an action because we are the first who can benefits of that if the crypto become good again.

Ah yeah man. I want the crypto become great again. Now what I can see is that BTT is going to the moon. They are offering a tokenized service , basically a paid service which used to be free before. (Bittorent, Pirate Bay and the rest). Pirates believed that everything should be freely accessible on the net. They even founded political party in several countries.

Crypto will be great again. BTT is one of the newest coins on craze now and people are buying it. But I doubt it that it'll become the reason why the market will get up soon.

We still have bitcoin that's good to use so it doesn't really matter.

Well, well. I am old enough to remember that Bittorent used to be completely free. I didn't need any sort of token as such to use their services.

The market is not the problem, the problem is what each operator thinks, if gambling in the market is obviously going to lose, I think you should learn to understand the market, and that is only achieved by reading books, with technical analysis is very difficult , the indicators are just indicators that is nothing more than tools that most times make you lose.

Everyone at the moment really need to think like this because price can only increase if we will make positive reactions and support it by adopting it buying it and making investments for long term without selling panic, according to me those who are being whales for us and selling so many coins to make the market down to purchase high amount of coin at low price again.

Yes. Manipulation is very rampant in this market. Especially when a pro fud group smells money in your coin. Then they will do every possible trick, every nasty trick in the book to try to create as much Fud as possible and make your coin as cheap as possible.

Indeed. It's the biggest reason why the SEC is not very friendly with the crypto market. SEC are concern with the small individuals that are going to lose so much money when organized traders like whale groups who will pump and dump the market with some FOMO or FUD news.

It is a reasonable concern.

The problem of the crypto market right now is its being manipulated by fake volumes shown in coinmarketcap and other popular exchanges. The fundementals are getting good feedbacks such as huge corporation and companies trying to invest in bitcoin or showing their interest in the free market. Even ecommerce is mostly supported by bitcoin payment process.

Right. We need substantial adoption first. E-commerce might be one of the major catalyst for this whole process.

In my opinion, it’s all a matter of people for whom cryptocurrency is not something serious, as was said at the beginning of this trade. Cryptocurrency is an invaluable gift that was invented and given to people in order to build a new world. But do you see how the majority of people relate to crypto? How they deny or don`t want to understand it at all, or get involved in it for the sake of profit. While this continues, the future of cryptocurrency does not seem bright to me.

If you mean adoption, then I believe the reason why no one is adopting cryptocurrency till now is because of its volatile nature. I don’t think anyone is ready to take such a risk; you put your money into it, only to wake up the next day and realize that the amount you put in yesterday is no longer what you have there. So that’s why nobody is ready to make use of it.

All my friends that I mention it to always talk about the volatility. They say that they believe that it (cryptocurrency) is an investment that is very risky. They see it as an asset and not as a currency. And there is big risk involved.

sad truth about it. those who invest while the price was its ATH felt like they are robbed already because of what happened. it doesn't really look like this is done by those who believed in crypto and blockchain enthusiast by heart. but tokens being dump for money will always be the result. we all need to profit. ifthere is something to be done to make money is dumping which this problem in the crypto market don't be solved.

I think at the moment is the absence of complete decentralization that is how Blockchain was invented for to be clear and decentralized but today lots of services and exchanges are regulated by the government which is not right and it can influence on the market as well because they can try to manipulate the price. Using exchanges like iDEX or EtherDelta try to solve this issue the same as an upcoming exchange DexAge using using p2p Escrow Trading will implement its features in decentralization as well thus government won't manipulate the exchange and the price.

I believe the Chinese festival is part of the things that lead to the recent fall in the market starting from last week ending. But as for what started the fall, no one has really made a good point about it. So, I’m just believing that it is a normal thing for the market to go up and down since it’s based on speculation and all that. But there have positive predictions about the market and how it’s going to end this year. Hope that it happens just like they have predicted.

True. Crypto is way riskier than casino itself. However this being said I believe that to buy and invest now is much less risky then it was last year from February till end of December. Last year we were in a bear market. Now we are about to explode into a huge bull market.

A lot of things has been said about why the crypto market is facing this down trend, and a lot of them has focused on ETF approval being the main cause. But for me I just think this is a normal thing and they are just using that as an excuse.

Whether all these things they have mentioned is approved or not, the price of Bitcoin will still go up, alongside many other altcoins. This has been happening for long, but they always have one excuse or another to use for it. I just think nobody knows the cause, but as to whether the price will go up, that will happen for sure.

I totally agreed with what you said because crypto market was always fluctuated in price and every time an ATH is achieved dump in price or market correction should be always expected because some people will some to send their holding and the correction will occur to create another open doors of opportunities. Therefore, I also disagree that ETF was the cause of the previous and current market status.

I think that the main problem of crypto is it's high volatility.
This volatility issue could be said to be one of the reason why potential investors are discouraged from investing in the market, it is a turn off to them.
Tis problem is also decreasing adoption rate of the blockchain technology.

Continues high volatility is a challenge. Right, we need mass adoption. At least we need to see some sort of signs for adoption. I think it is coming however we might need to wait for another year.

I believe that the main problem with cryptocurrencies currently is scamming activities that now dominated the cryptocurrencies market.  Many people has lose significant amounts through icos investments and some of the projects did not exist outside whitepaper.  I don't think people treating cryptocurrencies as speculations of gambling is the problem but the other way round.

As the market matures you are going to see less and less scams. I have lost £16000 with 2 icos. So I know what are you talking about from first hand experience.

I think that ETF may have effected the bitcoin, but I think that it is not the only reason causes the price to fell down, I think that that the most important is the confidence of the investors, once the investors will get confidence on bitcoin price I hope that they will again start investment there and price will hopefully start increasing.

Right confidence is going to increase with trust increasing. When Bitcoin increase 4% then altcoins will increase 12% especially Yggdrash:)
Good times ahead. Best time to invest.

Due to the market situation, I guess some projects are getting affected as well that's why there's a big chance that projects will be abandoned and not be funded or it can end up into scam.

Yes, the market can mature, but how about investors though?

2017-2019, we haven't seen any drastic change, ICO projects are still running, and majority of them are scams. Investors are still willing to put their hard earn money and then complain later.

So I don't know if we can ever see the market mature or what indications that we can say it has learn it's lessons very well. Only time can tell.

Well, personally I am much more careful regarding when to invest and into what and how much.

There would be always end to to this. We cant really hurry up for the entire market to mature since it would happen gradually as the time goes by.About investment matters
i cant really deny that there are still lots of ICO's exist nowadays and there are still some few who do invest with it inspite of the current market condition.

You are talking about other people but look at your own views are not thy so distracting so better not to think like this, 2017 price was high but it is crypto currency which has the most volatile nature and it use to get bigger and down as well, so I am sure 2019 price will be high once again, problem is negative mind set of investors who are making wrong predictions on behalf of their limited knowledge.

I agree. We are going to see soon a new, fresh and huge bull run.  Bottom is in. Go Yggdrash!

main problem of crypto market is that new trader are falling for fomo or fud trap and are loosing money,mainly new investor are getting scammed of because of scam ico ,they are not researching or using their brain ,they are just seeing instant profit and falling to the trap.and there is misconception around crypto that when you invest in crypto you get high profit in short time ,crypto follow same rule like other assets but price fluctuation is more,you have to hold for good time to earn good profit.

I agree. Hodl. Also buy at the bottom or at the beginning of the bull run, such times which is now. I would recommend to invest into Yggdrash now if you have 0 coin at the moment. We are 96% down and our team is super active and working hard in order to launch our Mainnet at Q3.
Basically you can expect huge multipleliers. Obviously no pain no gain. Risk only what you can afford to lose.

At the moment, the main problem is the fact that investors are scared of a continuous dump in price  thereby increasing there loss some have also began to take profit in other to play safe and take part of the capital invested, thou the bull run is yet to commence, we all need o still HOLD on and be hopeful.

We have reason to be hopeful. We are above 3120$.
We are actually near to 4000$. So a bull run is around the corner. Bottom is in.

Agreed, lack of investment is truly a big thing that makes you feel the market is down trodden. This is true to some extent, and by the moment when value of bitcoin grows high automatically the investment flow into the market increases. This serves as a support system and carry forward the growth of bitcoin with other altcoins that are available in the market.

Yes, I understand what you mean, but everyone has a different perspective, in my opinion the main problem with the crypto market is the strict regulations/prohibitions issued by the government. Even today not a few crypto users are worried and afraid of the ban, so they are reluctant to transact in open places, let alone socialize cryptocurrency. If this problem can be solved, I think mass adoption can run smoothly.

I really don’t understand why they are being afraid of all this when it is starting process price has been increasing and decreasing since start so no need worry just chill, if they are worry and make panic it will go wrong for them at the same time for bitcoin future because panic selling makes price get down, it was a dump year but 2019 will pump up price once again so don’t worry just invest more if you have money.

What I see here is that the number of ICOs that are running is not in accordance with the roadmap and whitepaper, and causes many ICOs to die or prices to fall very deeply, which is a bit more cause investors don't want to invest in ICO anymore, I hope there will be institutions to monitor ICO token tokens so that there is no more fraud that harms investors.

Until now there so many scammer in cryptoworld it not easy to recognize which project have a potential(legit) or scam in the end.
However this time most people are now aware tobe careful to invest in any ico project.
Since we experienced a long run hard fall of bitcoin last year people are now expecting a bull run but we cannot assure when that time happen.

I personally think , the main problem is traders also. The moment bitcoin gained massive popularity , many innocent people bought at high price. And since the bubble burst, it hurt the crypto market like really hard. Those panic sellers are one of the problems. Also one problem are the scammers , they've been rampant since the "bitcoin fever". They came in during the golden days and they never left , jumping from one method to another to scam people. And since then , people are very cautious in investing on crypto.

Do your own research. I did and that's why I invest into Yggdrash.

Scamming is not an issue but it is also a mistake, we use to get scammed because of our own mistake which is not good to do, there are so many websites and YouTube channels are giving good information about crypto currency so if we will watch them and increase our knowledge about crypto currency so we will not suffer scamming, panic selling is also an issue so people should not be greedy at all.

Voltile converts into volume and more intrigue. Dependability converts into low volumes and less intrigue. Individuals are here for a reason, and that reason is the thing that will keep on pulling in individuals in the coming years. Simply peruse through web based life and this discussion when there is no instability individuals get exhausted and center around different things. Solidness will come when use turns into the principle explanation behind individuals to be here, which will take years.

I think cryptocurrency need mass adoption and proof of transparency.People feel how can they trust crypto if theres a lot of scamming and inside job hacking happen to trading exchange. Some people are greedy of money that doenst even belong to them.

Yes. This is true. Quadriga and Cryptopia. Recent stories. Both of them sounds dodgy like hell. We need to sort out these issues if we want to see any mass adoption. I am optimistic and these issues will be sorted out so mass adoption can happen..

One main problem with crypto market is that the team of a project itself are manipulating the price of the coins which in the end investors don't trust the projects created by the team. If the team are not distributing bounties to the bounty participants, the investors can see eminent things that can happen, the team wants to acquire them all back and focuses on it instead of the project development.

The issue is that, individuals are effectively get disappointed and they are effectively be apprehensive at whatever point there are a slight changes in the market. They are effectively attracted to what manipulative individuals drives them. The market is as of now fell and individuals are freezing. Its everything normal, except on the off chance that you will go standard, you can't be on the rocket at whatever point that showcase arrives on moon.

Market has achieved its particular dimension where the majority of individuals believes it's a great opportunity to stop yet mate this is time when we need such reasoning like purchasing cryptos in high numbers, this year I have seen such a significant number of constructive changes in market which ordered to me to continue holding so the main issue is trust individuals should trust crypto in any event indeed in light of the fact that things has begun to recuperate now.

 Surely I will be agree that the main problem for crypto currency market now day is adoption but externally no matter how hard we think off we can’t really get the real point behind market problems, so some of them are, panic selling which makes price get down, no faith for holding as people are not ready to hold and they are greedy enough to get fast profit which is making market unstable continuously.

These incidents aren't the few bad events that happened to the market.

---

There is mt.gox, et. al.

---

The story of Quadriga CX isn't really convincing and we don't know if it's a real one. If ever it does, RIP for the CEO but for the customers whom he has left thinking about their funds are on bad mood.

---

Moon will come without any confirmation that we ever entered to that phase.

This is also an issue as know many people use to sell for panic only because they are lack of knowledge and that’s why they give up on their investment, it can give us profit for later if we will understand the terms of investment for long term surely those who are selling and making price get down will cry someday, but the main problem is only panic sellers.

I don’t think there is any problem, cause to me, this is just a normal thing. It is no problem at all, despite I have seen a lot of people say a lot of things that they believe is causing the price of cryptocurrencies to be this low. Some have mentioned ETF as the cause of it, and others have also mentioned a lot of things they believe are causing it, but I don’t believe in all that.

Right. This is what it is. We cannot change any of that. I am also cool, especially since Yggdrash has started to grow 20-30% on a daily basis. Good direction definitely.

It is coming but I don't think that it will come 'fast' and aggressively.

---

It's their problem if they panic sell, they are feeling bad to see their money goes low in  value so that's the solution that they are coming with. I became a panic seller before but not anymore, this market is for those people that are willing to lose a lot and has a lot of patience before recovering.

Yes, it will be a gradual growth.

---

To make it sure, slowly but surely. Unlike a quick rise, we are also about to expect a very quick dump so if you are going to choose what it would be? A day trader is certain with that but for most holders, we prefer the gradual growth.

It is always better that it keep on rising slowly but gradually it will reach the new heights. Only problem when the sudden rise happens is that it also fall at the greater pace and this create a huge panic mode among the investors who start selling and this leads to the greater fall.

There is no problem on the market but there is the problem on the project that can cause to the market to going down because there are many ICO projects that turns to scam because if that the investors are scared to risk on market now. And the whales manipulated the market that put too much pain on small investors.

By my opinion the fact that crypto trading is not available in every country makes the main problem for crypto market development. People are rule the market and prices for crypto.

We do love to see the market rise gradually/slowly.

---

We also know the consequence of seeing the market moves with a rapid growth because suddenly it will dump quickly too.

---

I have that optimism that holders should and there's actually a lot of problem that doesn't belong to the market but with us who have been too impatient to see rise.

There are many factors that cause problems in the crypto market today. I believe that one of the main problems of cryptocurrency at this time is the number of ICO scam projects or not in accordance with the roadmap, and it makes investors lazy to invest their money in the crypto market and make the market not move up.

Scam projects really affects the WHOLE image of cryptocurrency as well as the wrong way of using the crypto like as mode of payment in illegal works, for those who are not aware of crypto the image of it will be set to their mind that this is a kind of a project that set to be a scam one that is why they dont want it or they dont want to invest to it anymore.

That is why we should conduct some research on the project we would like to invest to because no matter how much fund they'll get or how good their platform is, if they cannot able to adopt in this tricky market then expect that it'll the floor someday. Adoption is the key in this kind of environment because it is survival.

Right, adoption is clearly key.
As an Ebay seller I want to support adoption in my own way. I am going to speak with eBay and hopefully they are going to allow me to accept alternative payment options such as Cryptopayments. I would pay their fee obviously and the rest would be settle in the Crypto world. I believe that we hit already the bottom and we are going only higher from now on, so I wouldn't spend my coins right now due to my market expectation. However if you believe that the market is going to see 1000$ BTC price than this is your chance to spend your BtC/ Eth/ Ltc/ Etc/ Yeed at these high prices.... Stay tuned for more update:)

One of the major problem militating the growth of crypto markets is government lackadaisical attitude toward its adoption and acceptance many countries had placed one regulations or the other in fact in some cases outright ban on cryptos thus depriving genuine investors the opportunity to use cryptos as a digital currency or other for usage.
Most of these countries involved might want to protect their citizens against some scrupulous and fraudulent ICOs who capitalize on the easy access to cryptos to defraud potential investors as result bringing down more opportunities in cryptos markets globally.

True, however we are on the right track on the way of recovery. Bitcoin dominance now at only 50.7% few months ago it was around 54% and higher, we hit even 59.2% at the top. As the BTC dominace decreases the altcoins increasing. Also the adoption on its way. Mainstream adoption is coming. All in all I am pretty bullish. Bottom is in, and this is already a bull run. Do you think 3120$ was not the bottom? I would like to remind everyone that we are almost at above 4000$.

Not only government but some people are also creating this issue, some people are lack of knowledge so they are now sure about profit, government should allow their people to use crypto currency because it is good for economy of the country and for people who are living, they will get job and this will help in development of our country, lack of knowledge and awareness if the major problem I guess.

Today, I believe the main problem is the lack of regulation of ICO by the state. This problem leads to fraud, the sale of huge amounts of ETH and BTC in the market and the loss of confidence in the cryptocurrency.

Main problem is the adoption yet not all governments would have the same view towards crypto and with its decentralized properties we can really say that
it do really opposes governments laws and we know that all sorts of things that cant be controlled wont really be liked by them which its normal to think that
they wont accept it in the end of the day.

There are only a couple of projects in this space who are truly using blockchain as it should be used. The problem is, most projects are still using the blockchain for the wrong things. The blockchain is there to create a layer of trust, not to replace the internet or to create mere tokens for ICOs.  Most projects now create tokens just to raise funds without having a deep thought about the utility of those tokens. Most token prices will only climb up with hype and marketing skills, only to crash down when the hodlers realize that there is no real utility of the tokens.

Hence, the problem is this: the market is flooded with useless tokens. Most of those tokens were only used to raise funds and not to have any ready-to-go utilities. 90% of projects now are simply copy-cats of one another. The market really deserves to crash in order to flush out the toxic tokens and pave way for great blockchain ideas.

Until more projects introduce ready-to-go blockchain token utilities, The market will remain like this. any rise in prices now will be purely due to hype or manipulations. For the market to move maturely, real projects are needed... real use-cases are needed. Projects need to attach real in-demand value to their tokens. There are too many toxic tokens now. The era of token hype will soon be over. People have gotten smarter and aren't buying into the market. Very soon, the only thing that will attract blockchain investors and users will be neither the hype nor the marketing, but the real utility blockchain projects have to offer.

You are right and it could be true but in my opinion the nature of crypto market now a day is really volatile that no one can make good prediction so if some countries are not accepting crypto currency it is not a big deal we can solve this issue for holding and waiting, being worry and impatient is not the solution as panic selling will create more problems for market.

True, so this will be a continues battle so we can't really say that it's the main problem. I see the investors are just reluctant to enter because of the price. People wanted more money, but if the price of bitcoin is just $4k, and ETH is $140, and both are struggling, then it will be just a waiting game for everyone unless we go on another rally and the price pick up in the next months.

I have a good news to you sir. The market has been crashed from 870billion Overall market cap to 100 billion which was the bottom. We won't hit lower than that. Bottom is in now we are above 140 billion , more than 40% increase. So move on and sir be in the present. We still got 2105 projects listed on CMC. We got many good and real projects.

Prices already significantly higher than the bottom was by the way. Learn from the charts. Do you still believe in a below 2000$ Bitcoin? Well thanks for your contribution.


True, so this will be a continues battle so we can't really say that it's the main problem. I see the investors are just reluctant to enter because of the price.

It may people afraid that once they'll  mistakenly send into wrong address they can't recover it anymore.
In some aspect also that many investors(whales) tried to manipulate the market and create hypes which some of us in here( for newbie) might experience losses which decide to quit in crypto and sell their coins in cheap prices. 

True. However I hope I won't be a newbie forever:)

I dont think that it has any problem with crypto at this moment. Fluctuation is its nature and yes i feel this is what cryto's strength unlike fiats. Crypto market's growth is just because of the fluctuation and demand to it attracting too many investors.

This is the spirit and now we are poised to explode big time. Go Bitcoin and Yggdrash!:)

Yeah, ain't no problem with crypto, only with the panic sellers and dumpers holding the market not to go up. I do hope that they will change their style and turn into delivering some strength of holding their coins. They're not helping anyway, instead it help to drag the market down and even hard to recover.
It is just ti give them some realization and think over of what they do with us.

  Instead of being worry and making problems for entire market it is good to be careful and don’t jump in any site without having strong knowledge and information, jealous and scammers are there in our life so better avoid them and don’t sell because someone is scaring you for low price, just chill and be wise to say them sell to you at low price, hold your coin and be patient.

So it is very important to know crypto currency is all has the most fluctuating nature and miner rise fall does not matter, infect people wait for this opportunity so they can buy at low price, the problem is only lack of knowledge which makes people to sell at panic and it gives market a wrong direction, to dump, fluctuation is not the problem for sure.

Yes. Personally I don't believe for example that Bitcoin can be 2000$ or less but if it would be I will go all in. I believe Bitcoin already hit bottom also Yggdrash hit bottom. However at the moment we have some amazing buying opportunity we are only 4x above our all time low at Yggdrash.

If anyone decides that they are going to leave cryptocurrency because of the price that is down, Then it is up to them. You don't expect the price of something like this to keep on going up forever. Everything here has its own time, it doesn't happen every time, there are times for bear market and there is also a time for a bull run. One does not only keep on repeating itself. Best thing, like everyone will always say in this forum, is for everyone to be having patience and also also do whatever.

Like most other systems and programs, crytpo markets also might be having some problems and complexity and we need to overcome that by innovating appropriate solutions. It may take time still this will not lead to any change in the determined future of cryptos.

I don't think that the decrease of price can let a true bitcoiner to leave this community and never use bitcoin. As we know all, bitcoin was created 10 years ago and it's still a new technology which it will be allowed to more improvement in the future, there isn't something perfect. up and down, prices are normal things in a market, so that's why I don't think it will be the reason for quitting such a great community like this. I'm sure that the future will be bright for bitcoin and even for a lot of outcomes, I believe in that, because our technology are improving day by day, and we are on the way to start using this secure and fast payment unless of using git.

Yes, we should focus more and more on mainstream adoption in general and not on price movement.

For instance soon you can use your Yeed (the coin in the Yggdrash ecosystem) in a Decentre Cafe;)

Every new investors should know this and keep this in mind that price will not remain the same forever as it will change with the passage of time, but we will have to trust our skills and our investment that it is just temporary fall of price soon it will rise again, so need to hold and avoid panic at any kind of situation, just have patience and wait then market will not suffer any problem.

I am one of those good investors because I know very soon this time will be no more and I will make profit, I am waiting for rise in price with patience, as I know it has good history and it will recover very soon, price fall gave me chance to buy at low price and store for long term as I am long term investor so I never give up as lose of patience will create problem for entire market.

If they will know this and will follow the changing direction of the price I am sure no one will lose actually, we are makers and breakers of market so we will have to move very carefully as our negative action can leave bad effect for all other investors, a good investor earns and let other earn, so panic selling is the actual and the only problem, just avoid it.

Yeah very soon price will recover so investors should not lose patience and wait for right time to sell, most of time market suffers because of panic selling, so avoid it and never allow yourself to sell at low price, trust and value of investors matters allot, actual reason behind the increasing price is gradually increasing number of investors so I think we should keep holding.

Didn't check for the whole thread, guess it might've been said, but mass adoption and lack of transparency on top of regulation attempts is what can be considered a hindering factor for the crypto market.

ICOs booming in 2017 and kinda dieing in 2018 is a thing of a past already, however, that brought us to a current state of skepticism and uncertainty.

So, facebook coin, JPM coin and etc. hopefully will solve these problems, but who knows what it'd look like.

Yes, However we are not interested in JPM coin nor in facebook coin that is for sure. At least I am not interested in the slightest. Mark wants to control the world. Where will I benefit from that?

There is no problem with the crypto market at the moment. That's the correct answer. Just looking the crypto market I can see only huge potential and a lot of poor projects. Seems fair to me :P

I am a trader, for me every moment is an opportunity to make a profit.
now I prefer to observe altcoins, and keep holding bitcoin to buy some altcoins. trading is very interesting now because bitcoin is still stable.

According me as well there is no apparent problem but some people gets emotional sometimes which makes the price fall but it is not good at all, better to hold with patience, it is our own betterment and our own safety of future, apart from panic selling, few areas are suffering lack of knowledge so they should be guide well.

Exactly to become a good trader and investor people will have to control their emotions and feeling because when the price of investment fells most of people lassie the patience and they will sell, so panic selling and wrong time investment creates problem for newbie’s and for market holders, people needs to spread awareness among people.

The only problem I saw is that FUD's around, negative thoughts and government support.
People were so affected into this especially when they hear some unsubstantial negative reports regarding crypto, they are afraid to invest and lost their  money. We can't push them neither cause that's their understanding. But if the government  fully support this new technology it making a way that the entire community will have an investment with crypto as they are the most influential. 

I love the fact the Crypto is fully independent from any government influence. We got unlimited potential and power and advantage over any unfriendly government. A smart and proactive government would and embrace the Crypto technology.

The growth of cryptocurrencies in 2017 gave birth to many projects that represented a Frank Scam.A huge number of fraudulent projects have led to a loss of confidence in the cryptocurrency market from ordinary residents who have lost their money. It takes time and government regulation of the ICO to return trust and buyers to the market.

2017 is the best moment, it is the best year for ICO in my opinion.
because ICO grows well, and others only take advantage of the moment to make fake projects and they just want to get money easily.

I think the main problem of cryptocurrency is the issue of scalability and high volatility etc.
The high volatile nature could be the reason why the public are loosing interest in the market and some institutional investors see it as a turn off.
It is the reason why mainstream adoption is still a mirage.

You have mentioned good point , as in short we can say lack of knowledge is the problem that our current market is going through, so that’s why it is very important to know after investing your money into crypto currency what you will have to do with it, according to my knowledge if we will buy at low price then hold until bull runs market will come to the track very soon.

  That’s why we are in need to be a part of the journey so that those people who are not having knowledge can take help from our ideas and our posts, the problems is people have become so impatient and they want to make huge amount of profit, so in this kind of situation we should wait for our time to sell until then have patience and wait then there will be no problem.

Scalibilty is a crucial issue. Also data capacity. The creators of Yggdrash kept these issues in mind when they have created Yggdrash.
Through our superb and innovative Side chain/ Branch chain tree structure Yggdrash going to solve our scalability issues.


Yggdrash came up with stable block synchronization through its Block Reassembling Algorithm is inclusive of Akashic Records ( a set of values of all transactions before N blocks), Block Box, (set of blocks containing N blocks in one box) and Original Block ( Blocks of general Blockchain). To guarantee security and integrity for the users, these connective nodes carry out a process to ensure seamless transactions using the Yggdrash platform. Thus the Block Reassembling Algorithm reduces the time required to carry out secure online transactions. This further improves financial efficiency and brings about a fair share of profit to all companies that rely on Yggdrash. This particular blockchain platform uses a protocol that can establish communication between multiple blockchains assuring faster and secure transactions. Yggdrash also assists enterprises to build efficient blockchain platforms to carry out transactions related to business, cryptocurrency, real estate, and the stock market.

I think the main problem with crypto market at the moment is crypto's price and it's every moments down fall. And other one is government and legalization issues. Because of being popular bitcoin and other crypto there are possibility to use as crime accessory like in drugs industry or illegal gambling so if you are investing in bitcoin,government have an hot eye to observe you.

My friend, have you checked the prices recently? Bulls are back Btc is at 4800 almost. 4795$. Bulls are back, now it is clear for the last shorter who are burning their money at the moment. It is unbelievable that I am still a newbie here with my 189 posts:) Joke. If this market will dip below 3120$ than I accept your Bitcointalk ranking. Otherwise rank me higher.

Volatility is great once you experience upside volatility so your money grows in a crazy speed.

As they say. even with the regulations coming in it will remain like that and the only solution investors must do is to research which projects they support. You won't mind if you know the team can provide. So many projects have been made in the past and if they survived the big crypto winter of 2018 I have strong confidence in full market adoption, so I have invested heavily and taken big risks in my investment decisions

One of the major problems with the crypto market of late is that investors are not ready to learn. There are numerous projects hitting the market every time yet not all of them are worth investing in. For investors to avoid losing their investment, they need to learn and do personal research into these projects in order to ascertain the authenticity of the projects.

Some time ago the problem of the bitcoin market was the price of bitcoin which tends to be stable with very small price changes,
but today prices are moving faster and the good news is the prices tend to rise, and the stable price problem has gone!

We can't assume that it was gone already, it's still a testing momentum if the market is ready for the next reversal, the huge pumped can be a good
sign for much awaited bull to come, the only problem might be those people who are easy to fomo but same with being a panic sellers when the market
start to dumped again, just need more assessment and study before concluding.

As a newbie I did conclude already at 3120$ that was the bottom. Now the experts are still saying that the expert is still to come and will be around 800$. Don't believe it:)

Real traders and real investors will have to know if they really are interested in making profit they will have to e patient and wait for the right time so they can sell and buy some coin at good price, as buy when the price is low, the problem is lack of knowledge and your suggestion does work in this regard we should spread positive and right information in market so that new investors will not cause problem for market because of wrong decision.

Surely they are very low sales volumes. It is a period of stagnation and as long as someone does not start with a pump, enthusiasm does not return. Nobody invests if he doesn't feel the heartbeat of life. As a counter-proof today someone has made the waters move: will it be the beginning of the true ascent?

The main issue with cryptocurrency or Bitcoin is the main stream media. Whenever I see a news about Crypto media is always pointing to Bitcoin to be a Ponzi scheme and people kind start agreeing to it that's where all the problem originate.

there are various problems the media that give people an incorrect idea about crypto, people who think that crypto are just useful for investments, we need proper information so that everyone can understand the potential of the blockchain, with the market fluctuating we should get used to it, the coins that bring something useful, innovative will succeed anyway...

As far as I understand You mean that for a project very badly impact what they say about him around?It is not so.Whatever they say, it does not affect the cryptocurrency from the worst side.Yes, many people like to receive x and principle because of x, many investors came to the world of crypto.At the moment, in my opinion, the cryptocurrency lacks trust from ordinary people and governments.For many, this is unknown and not understandable to the world.

We need to create a simple and user-friendly environment. There is plenty room for improvement.
