Bitcoin Forum

December has come and gone, many had high expectations especially newbies. What next? Don't you think it's time for proper education of how this space works instead of jumping on the band wagon? But while doing that do not FOMO if in the process bullrun  comes with speed.

Many people pinned their hopes on December, because they analyzed the schedule of the previous year, because in December 2017 we saw a bull market. Many also hoped that ETF would be accepted for bitcoin and crypto-trading would be launched on the Bakkt exchange (where institutional investors would come). But unfortunately nothing happened.
My opinion is that you don’t have to get upset because your hopes have collapsed. The most interesting thing in front, do not move away from the screens of your computers and be patient.
I do not think that there will be a bullish jerk from 4,000 to 20,000 dollars and above, I believe that growth will be smooth (compare this with climbing stairs to the upper floor)

I guess if most of people in the crypto have acquired a lot of education about this space but remember the big players have been holding the main role in the crypto. Crypto is not only about pump and dump but as stated by so many press there was a lot of manipulation, politician etc affected the crypto market.

Looking at the history of December in the past year, the December movement on the cryptocurrency looks good and it has been created in December 2018. Maybe in December, some people have enjoyed the results even though only a few percent.
Stay calm and patient in facing the current market situation because it has happened like this before.

my expectations were met completely.

i was expecting smaller shitcoins with little market cap to get pumped a lot like 500% in a day and exactly that happened and i was lucky enough to catch a couple of them in the past month and made some decent amount of profit (small because i invested small, all my money is tied into buying bitcoin on each turn).

The market have recovered a little and it seems to continue to increase. I still wait to ETF and Ethereum 2.0 news. I think the big change of market situation is there.

This is one of the best advice I have received within this period,thanks for the wonderful information, proper education is one of the keys of knowing more fact in the cryptocurrency world of businesss

Investments generally is a very risky venture and it is very difficult for one to really make money if you did not have knowledge on how this market work.  As people and investors are crying about the bad state of the market in December others and the professionals investors are taking the advantage to invest into bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies at the best price and time. Remember that the market is following a particular patterns and this pattern that we are seeing has appeared several times and that is why we should know the state of the market before investing.

This. Everyone starts selling, the price drops. Then everyone starts buying again, the price starts climbing up. It's all about cycles.

Everyone has different expectations. We all have our individual target. I have been able to meet up with my own targets and not necessarily for bull run to come first. For those who have not been able to meet up with theirs, they can restratregize.

This is an opportunity to grab some cheap coins. I'd love to see it down for few more months so that I'd get a few more months salary converted into my crypto of choice. Buying on a bull market can make a loos but buying on a depression would certainly yield you a profit.

Everyone expected what happened last year to happen again, but honestly, I personally believe what is the most possible scenario is a smooth and slow transition over the next few months, not DAYS, not WEEKS just like last year's.

I did not expect a new bull run and therefore i am not very surprised.
It was more than clear that there would not be a bull run if so many people were just waiting for it.
That is why i just keep waiting and increase my portfolio.

The year 2018 was not really good for the cryptocurrency a the values of bitcoin has dropped and many people were really disappointed. The year 2019 will surely be a better year.

We will wait for new expectations in January. Then in the feral and generally until universal growth finally begins.

In December all hope the market will recover, because in the two-month market, the prices of BTC and ETH fell by almost 50% in a very short time. In the following year I still can't predict when the market will happen and what I can do is wait carefully to get panic sales.

Many people's hopes for growth in December 2018 and the repetition of the scenario did not happen. But who said, that this was supposed to happen again? I think we need to be patient. Many people believe that the next growth of the cryptocurrency market will be associated with a halving in 2020.

You must be from the future. We are still in December.

2018 is a huge eye opener especially for the "moon" and "lambo" people. Many were thought a hard lesson.
For 2019, we'll see more educated crypto traders and traders (at least that is my hope).

I will say that we should not loose hope sooner or later we are going to get the parabolic market we all have been waiting for months. Looking at the major coins right now does give us high hopes of trend reversal and bull run very soon. I hope that first quarter of the new year will be extremely positive and bullish for crypto market.

Yeh. December didn't show us any growth. But I think this is small delay. The new bullrun will start in the first part of 2019. There are many positive news about cryptomarket so the market should start recovering after them.

I personally did not pin any hopes for December and realized that this year we should not expect any growth of cryptocurrency
