Bitcoin Forum

I see more and more people are starting to doubt Bitcoin because the price doesn't go up in this new year. Honestly, I am always optimistic and continue to wait for the increase even I know that the price increase cannot be timed. So what and what should I do now?

You have correctly show the impression that you are not moved in your believe on bitcoin despite the very decapitating conditions it is at the moment so it's needles for you to ask what you should do.
All you need do is to hold on to your believe

I have far more doubt in the competencies of national governments and banks than I do in anything else in life.  Have you looked at the world lately?  I don't see how people can doubt Bitcoin in comparison to those things.

Hello,

You will always have lots of people full of doubts because everyting don't go in their way with "easy money" all the time. As soon as you say that you're always optimistic donc change your mind and keep trust in your feelings and hold. Even if you are wrong, i doubt about this ! You just trusted you so you will not be mad to have trusted other unknown people that gave you untrust in you with bad advices ;)

i was expecting a rise due to the mining:market dynamics. i was expecting a larger rise in hashpowre, but it seems alot of people are sticking to s9's and s11's. and not that much is happening with the s15's

so the mining cost:market price is remaining low due to cheap s9's still circulating and changing hands at cheap second hand prices.
so for me its just a waiting game to see hashrates move into the 45-50exa before i start trusting a sustainable up movement of the price.

i know last octobers curve down in hashpower due to selling off s9's cheap caused the november market curve down. which i hoped would have just been a curve up due to new asics.. but it just a waiting game for the dynamics to play out as new asics come online and push the mining:market effect

i have a nice hoard of btc from years ago and i have no fear's in regards to price. the price will play out in the right directions once th dynamics head in the right directions. my concerns are more about a certain group wishing to stall/stifle bitcoins utility and mess with the market:mining dynamics by pulling people off the network

Well, they are not a real crypto enthusiast if they are still doubting on crypto, since the start we know how risk and we need to fully patiently to wait if we want to profit on this. In crypto investment including Bitcoin, we are just like a fish in a pool pond, there are small and big fish. Don't let big fish will eat you which is means big whales in crypto because they were happy if you go easily panic selling.
You need the patience.

Just be patient at this current situation of market because it is not the right time to sell out and all us are waiting and even me. I hope many people will not doubt in bitcoin because I know it will bring us good future and I just you need to wait more and just keep on being optimistic and do not lose your hope on price spike.

When you really want to profit from bitcoin but the market conditions go the other way around, then there is growing doubt in you. Don't look at market conditions too much if you choose an investment path, calm yourself and remain confident with Bitcoin.

Well, people tend to think that if they're in a certain industry solely for the money. If you think you're one of those kinds of people, then you probably should think twice on why you're here in the first place. If you're doubting bitcoin just because the prices is still dropping and is also quite stagnant at times, then you'd probably be better doing something else.

Price of bitcoin does not make it a failure or success. Just the fact that it lives, and you can use it to pay and be paid with is success enough. In fact: "Mission accomplished".

Trading has increased in Venezuela and Peru because their economies are fked so bitcoin will always be here. Economies around the world are tanking and their only hope is bitcoin.

Those who doubt bitcoin due to the price performance are just in it for the money, and probably are the ones who bought in when the price is still high and are now trapped and can't get their money out. Developments are happening within the ecosystem albeit some companies resizing their workforce and restructuring their organization due to the decline in price. Institutional investors are eyeing bitcoin and crypto more than ever, so there's that. Code-wise, we are still receiving consistent updates from developers even though they already have millions in their pockets. Let the doubters doubt.

You have two options:

1-) sell (with losses or without losses)

2-) hold for the next years.

These are the only options you have

Yes ,Now many people think bitcoin price never up and its also down so huge.Bitcoin price can be up if government and bank and also multi-international company try to accept bitcoin otherwise bitcoin price gone again under 1000$ or below

Long term goals are not influenced by short intermittent changes. There would definitely be speculations ans price dumps and pumps.
The true value would be realized with time, patience is the top virtue of a bitcoin enthusiast.
You would not lose till you sell at a loss.

With the situation of things at at the moment the market price might even go lower depending on the outcome of sec or the involvement of whales.
This price instability is becoming very much persistence a d might effect the adaptation of bitcoin

Because most people love Bitcoin due to ability to makes more money. Bitcoin also gets attention with other aspects, but if the price drops today to zero, those who see it as money machine will not appear. That is why I would like to see the price go down. I also make money with trading, but sometimes some people becoming disgusting.

As I've said before in this forum, people are bearish in a bear market and bullish in a bull market. What a surprise.

If you have lots of doubt then this forum will be the right way for you to get all your confusion to be clear because cryptocurrency is more complicated field before knowing anything do some research so that research will be very useful to get interested on that and to get the information this forum will very helpful for anyone.

all of those people are noobs in cryptocurrency world, they start to panic when its falls and they sell, old users of btc (or any cryptocurrency), know when to buy and when to sell, when its the right time. they know also that btc crashed hundred of times before, so there s nothing to be afraid of if you kept holding, bitcoin will recover, and it will jump high again.

I'm a realist. I always remember about risks and my investments aren't only cryptomarket. So now I'm just waiting the recovery without emotions. It's better to do something else now while the market is falling.

I do worried about it too but i don't really worried as much as people do because for me bitcoin can do more than the price indeed honestly i was expect the price will much better than last year but rather than always thinking the price i think we also should be thinking at what achievement bitcoin will be in this year and my hoping for this year is i could see more people who became an bitcoin users in my country and if possible i want bitcoin legalize too

Doubting Bitcoin based on price is not a good thing, Bitcoin can be $100 and still be valuable, Bitcoin is a technology that shouldn't be tight to price only, for example, if the price goes down by %30 and at the same time we have an adoption increase equal to %10 or something like that we can easily call this a point in the favor of Bitcoin, the price will come later.

The rise and fall of bitcoin is what actually brings in many more investors ,it is normal to see bitcoin losing its value and it will always recover back at a point in time ,just have patience that's all you ever need ,don't listen to the scared ones ,cryptocurrency is only for the brave ones ,make use of the dips and wait for price surge in future that's the only way ,let's wait for the approval of bakkt and etf first then we will know what will follows

Ask yourself what are the reasons you bought into Bitcoin.

1. Because the price will one day go up: Why? will there be a real demand for Bitcoin and what will be the factor(s) to cause said demand? If speculation is your only answer then Bitcoin might as well be a Ponzi Scheme wouldn't it?

2. Because it's a new technology: How so? have you seen it work in real time? What was your experience in using Bitcoin? did it feel just like a bank because you put them in Coinbase? Have you used a Bitcoin Client? Do you know where are your private keys and how easy it is to "load" your bitcoin in a new computer just by typing it in? How can you be convinced it's a new amazing technology if you've never got down and dirty with it? ;)

3. Because Bitcoin is Freedom: Now we're talking, have you felt the feeling of not needing to trust anyone to keep your money safe? no banks, no vaults, no certificates. no nothing..

It's alright if you need a leap of logic to go from 1 to 3. Now that the market is chill and boring, it's the best time to start reading and learning. We recommend "The Bitcoin Standard" for the philosophy of Bitcoin and "Mastering Bitcoin" to get into the technicals.

you should hold your bitcoin. that is what you should do. get to understand bitcoin more better and you see the price doesnt just wake up one morning and pump, it can be at anytime. for now just get busy with other things that can give you money while you hold your bitcoin

I'm sure people who are still here still have high enthusiasm or optimism with crypto, even though they have been disappointed because there is still no movement in the crypto market to increase earlier this year, but with high enthusiasm they will certainly only hold and be patient waiting for the market to recover. Yes, you just have to keep your spirit to be more patient and if you have the ability to buy, then I think it will be better.

if you are still doubtful and unruly it means you have not believed about bitcoin, my advice, it is better to be patient, and wait for prices to rise again, and discard that doubt

You don't need to think about how many people panic about crypto because of this decline, the most important thing is to make yourself more patient in the current conditions, and still be a holder because it will be an opportunity to benefit from crypto.

 You need to understand that bitcoin can not grow indefinitely. And for the period of growth always comes a period of recession, so you need to wait a bit and we will see the growth of bitcoin.

Is cryptocurrency will need lots of doubt on your mind but the solution is always there in our surrounding if we find that we can definitely make the good news from any of that and it will make the amount to be more useful.

You think you're seeing doubt now?
Come back a year from now when the bleeding will have go on for another year.
Bitcoin ran out of greater fools, the price is still overinflated, and it's about time we think about the fundamentals, too.

I also still try to be optimistic and believe in bitcoin. Perhaps this is done on purpose, in order to reset many people to investors left crypto. I think that bitcoin will continue to upset us and when everybody will despair he suddenly come back and maybe break a new record for the cost. I want to believe.

Bitcoin is really amazing, thatvis why it has a big price and great value, but we cannot really deny the fact that there are so many people that still has a doubt on it. It is all because we all have different sights and different understanding of the works of bitcoin, there are also some other people that did not believe on it. But to those who earn and used bitcoin for a very long term maybe they trust bitcoin a lot and they maybe didn't have a doubt on it.

There are many of them who leaves crypto because the price won't grow up but for me it is the opportunity to invest and have something to invest while wait for the time it increase again. Bitcoin has many benefits and can be used everywhere for fast transactions. It doesn't matter if they dont believe as long as you believe in it. It has potential and maybe it is not the year for profit but a year for gaining opportunity which you can lose for doubting.

I am always optimistic that bitcoin is long term investment and will reach new high price. I am prefer hold my bitcoin for long term because we can not make profits in this bear market. 2019 will be a good year for bitcoin and cryptocurrency market and i think we should patient with market condition

You should probably give up then. I mean the reason bitcoin is not bottoming out is because there are still people being optimistic about the price surging. What we need now is capitulation which means investor, holders selling off to see bottomed. We need more negativity and pessimism for bitcoin to hit its final low and to start a new rally.

Patience is a virtue.

you should stop thinking about bitcoin as only a means for making money/profit and instead start learning more about what Bitcoin itself is, why was it created and what it truly offers as a decentralized currency.
the more you wait for the price and care only for fiat profit you an make from the rise, the less likely it would become for the price to rise in first place.

You have a choice, you can allow other pessimists to break your confidence in Crypto currencies and then sell your coins as a result OR you can ignore them and concentrate on the positive things that are being done in the Crypto currency space.

The low price are not stopping real supporters of this technology, because they can see the real potential for innovation behind the price. A lot of the negative sentiments are coming from paid shills and people with hidden agendas. <competitors>  >:(

Make up your own mind.  ;)

Indeed doubt is the process of the market cycle of bitcoin and it is a good thing that there are many doubters on bitcoin so that the weak hands will give up and sell their bitcoin and never come back for a while in the cryptocurrency space. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way before accepting the fact that what we have when we are in doubt can give us financial freedom in the future. As of now what we have to do is to take up more knowledge about the fundamentals of bitcoin and read or watch interviews what the bitcoin experts are saying about the advancement of bitcoin and the blockchain technology.

Why doubt? all markets have the same fate same as bitcoin this is a bear market we are at the bottom right now and its not easy to rise after this condition it takes time but for sure It will regain again its ath and maybe reached new record, holding is the best way for now if dont you want to lose money.

the price is not the basis for the success as long as bitcoin has price it can be the next big thing in the market. Since you are optimistic regarding the price and the success of bitcoin you should look for many ways to earn and save so that when the time comes you are be able to earn from your holdings.

Dont too focus on the price too much, but focus on the technology and the potential that could be achieved by bitcoin, if we can make more people invest in the technology then we don't need to be worry about the price, the one that doubt of bitcoin because of the price is the one that only invest for profit, that is an investor that want to pump and dump

Well, I can say that, truly, the crypto currency market is very unstable. We cannot assure that the price will rise up this new year. Even that we already been have it all a lots of downfall in the last year, there is a possibility that it will happens again but there is also a possibility that it will rise up this year. Everything changes and everything is just temporary. What we should do is not focus on the price but on the different opportunities that we can seek.

I don't blame those that are in doubts ,we all see how 2018 performed and that is not encouraging and fast forward to 2019 of which I thought we will have good start ,we are now seeing exchange hacks again that's no good sign

the only people who doubt bitcoin only based on the recent price drops are those who are considered weak hands and these people are only in bitcoin for a short time wanting to make some quick profit and become rich over night. such people don't matter in the long  term of bitcoin and in fact they need to exit the market before the price can start rising. so if you see them more these days it is a good sign because it shows they are making their exit slowly.

We must realise the fact that Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency is the instrument of transacting values. Most of us are busy with speculation activities but that's not the vision of the creator of it. A merchant can get a lot more benefits out of adopting cryptocurrency in his day to day transactions but he would expect the same response from the users to pay him in crypto. Restricting crypto to speculation market is underestimating the potential of it, in my honest opinion.

The price is unpredictable , you really need to be patient in order to earn profit. I know that most of you are in doubt but think about how bitcoin can help you and give you good profit. This kind of situation is usual , you need to be patient enough and you need to have enough knowledge to cope up in this kind of difficult situation. Even if the price isn't good you can still see how bitcoin recover day by day. It depends on you but for me , it will be good to invest now than to regret it.

Its a good thing that many people have doubts concerning bitcoin. It just shows that they are thinking for themselves and are not just mindless sheep lured in because of earning fast money. This way, in this period, we will find who are actually in it for the long run and will end up having a more devoted community in the future.

Now there are reasons to doubt bitcoin in many people, this is a prolonged bearish trend, but I hope that very soon it will change and we will see new heights in bitcoin.

Nice point dude. Unlike before when people depend on hype and fomos and then easily panic with a simple fud, having doubts would make them cautious. If there's one positive thing that we got from 2018, it opened up people's minds that this market isn't just easy money. Not by a long shot.

If you cant stand the showing of volatility in this market then You should’ve leave the crypto community as this is only for the strong person..though you said being optimistic snd continue holding yet this thread shows how tempting the withdrawing to cut the losses

Doubting bitcoin means they are not a true investors instesd they are just buying for easy money and then leave the market right away after gaining

Doubting will not do good for you my friend, since you have lots of faith for bitcoin then stick with it. The high price we want for bitcoin will come eventually, it just takes time to do it. Better hold than to sell our bitcoin for low price especially on peak of bear market. Crypto has always been a full of surprises especially we could not tell what's gonna happen tomorrow and that's my friend will test our true faith for bitcoin.

there are a lot of doubts about market prices that have not improved and I think that is a bad thing in bitcoin and I feel doubts that are getting deeper when I remember the existence of hackers who did not stop and consumed a lot of casualties

Price had plunged from more than $19k to $3k is alarming, I panic for the loss but not really doubt BTC to be a good investment. I'm pretty sure its price is going to rise the only left to question is when. Right now, we can only speculate but when you read some news about hacking and so on it can't help the market.

There are too many doubts just because people seeing the trend which isn't at their favor. And if we looked back at 2017 when the price soaring significantly, there were many people who have faith with the future of bitcoin. Now they changed their mind which showing that they are just people who seek for instant profit. A lot people came into cryptos but not ready with the bad possibility that could occur.

yes wait in bitcoin is the good way, why? because right now there are many comapnies that start to use blockchain on their future project, so i think that blokchain is the one of the good system in the future, and i hope that with this condition the price of bitcoin can be have the good value

You should take more time and hold your Bitcoin assets, without one ways to start countinue your trading compare.significantly it's improve this is different price before 2017 year last.in fact same complain have process many people but you already agree Bitcoin up and down no have fixed time.so I want to tell you reality,you can use this time (invest,holding).can give you more profitable,if again Bitcoin price cross 10k$ more.

the doubts that I felt at this time that made me nervous about using bitcoin were that there were many hackers and the market price was the only problem

Of course lot of people doubt by considering these price variations but You cannot expect a positive trend in short term from bitcoin because the drop is much higher than any other period of time but if you are leaving the market or have decided to do that due to this situation that is a wrong move because we have seen how bitcoin has recover many times after dropping in price and specially in this time when everything is working in bitcoins favor definitely there will be a positive trend for bitcoin so abundening in today means loosing the profits that can gain in the near future

This is a long period of bear market and it can shake trust of anyone associated with this market, there were lots of predictions about BTC when price was increases day after day but now people's sentiments are just opposite and that is genuine because BTC is still to be accepted widely and already trading at good price if we see overall value of BTC but BTC will recover sooner of later so I think you just need to hold it in your bag.

Buy ...
Although I think that 2019 will be mainly going sideways. Plenty of time to accumulate.  :)

Lol, its only 14 days into the first month of the year and people are already losing hope?  These people need to be more patient and wait till the end of the year if they are waiting for those big gains.  If you can't handle the pressure yourself you can sell now and just forget about cryptocurrency entirely.  Some of us can handle the dips but others aren't strong enough mentally to stomach it.

Lol, maybe he is chinese and celebrates New Years Eve on Feb 5th ...

This why people must know about risk when they are trading on the market, once you deposit then you already to be fucked by market, losing money till have no balance.
I don't care if lot of doubt on this market situation, they don't know about trading. They should learn first if they will do some trades.

it's really good now if we make a coin because the price of coins is still low, and after that we are patient enough to wait until the right time to make a sale. the problem is I'm sure this year the market will experience a very good increase

As you said before, you should be optimistic, if you only know bitcoin when prices are high then you will never amenable when the price of bitcoin is at a low price. I just feel lament for not knowing bitcoin at low prices like in 2010 or 2011 and so on, so as when prices dropped dramatically I would never complain and even decided to leave Bitcoin. Long term investment is the best choice to get profit, but to choose your long term investment, someone is required to know bitcoin deeply.

Many are a doubting Thomas and will not want to believe that the Bitcoin is here to stay and will not die. What they want is to see that Bitcoin has good value overnight. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency which value cannot be determine by anyone and our wishes can not just make it rise.

You are right.
But I could add that doubters have a lack of knowledge. You need a deep understanding of the industry and underlying technologies (https://cryptodetail.com/blockchain-consensus). Thus you have no doubts about the importance they have and the influence they bring, regardless of the current price.

Your price analysis is based on a short term basis that is why you are scared of the price behaviour meanwhile the real hodlers of bitcoin sees it as a long term investment who don't give a shit at the price behavior and doesn't cast any doubt about the price while the newbie will always react to FUDs.

Take a break when you are in doubt, and if you choose an investment strategy, it is better to be patient and not panic too much, because in the future the market will rise again.

It depends on the mindset you brought into cryptocurencies as a whole. I guess you came with the mind of getting rich quick but got disappointed with what you met. You have to just keep believing,  people have been here for 10 years and counting and witnessed the good and ugly sides of the market, so chill and let things grow.

We just need to have patience. Because bitcoin has that high potential in its growth. And very soon it will start to grow. We just have to wait for it, sooner it will going to break its all-time high. 

Every person sometimes has doubts. Especially when it comes to money, and cryptocurrency in particular. There are very few really risky people. Doubt is normal. But you also need to believe in something. And if you believe, for example, in bitcoin, then be with him to the end.

yes, that is what I also see today that most people are hesitant to buy and invest in bitcoin, because there are many people who expect bitcoin prices to rise high in early 2019, but there is no sign that bitcoin will again raise prices even at higher levels again the, you don't need to do anything, for example, you are still optimistic that bitcoin will again raise prices at a higher price, just wait for what you expect will happen, because the price of bitcoin can go up anytime, and we never thought before .

People fear and doubt and wait for the market conditions to be better. What they do not realise is that the market doesn't push itself up. It is your activity and my activity or our inactivity that pushes the price up or down. If we remove fear and doubt from the crypto space, the market will be better for it. and we all will be smiling to our banks. This is simple logic...

Sure that a lot of people withdraw their BTC because of the price decrease and this is i know your basis on having doubts in bitcoin. Its kind of frustrating having full negative btc account and not all people can handle it. After that dip, people would go back again buying btc and say positive things about it.

You don't have to listen to them, and you need to have a strong mind, so you still believe that the bitcoin price will go up this year. Although the price cannot increase in this year, I am sure it will increase in the long-term because bitcoin is for the long-term investment. That is for people who are not following the market movement, and they only keep the bitcoin in their wallet. People who said that would regret especially if they already sold their bitcoin because they think bitcoin will get dumps too deep.

If you will keep doubting, I am sure that you will lose you confidence as a investor. Be a positive investor who have high hopes and have high confidence. You can handle the risks that you are taking if you are brave enough to face it.

have a feeling that this bear market going to be all of 2019 also , nothing realy indicates that this is over. and its going to free fall after awhile when even more people lose hope :(

well no one minds you "hoping" or being "optimistic"

i see no reason why someone should support bitcoin except he sees no other current way to decentralise the power of the banking cartels, or, he is a big staked bitcoin miner or bitcoin whale.

Someone who is new to bitcoin tends to think like that, let alone invest all money into bitcoin, now cry because they lose money, if they want to be more patient and do other activities is better. There is no reason to doubt Bitcoin because the price always goes down.

I think a lot of people have still no idea on how cryptocurrency and the market works and this is one of the reasons why they easily judge the market vased kn what they seeing. If you study the history of bitcoin, there are many price corrections and crashes but it still managed to go up achieved a all-time high last 2017. I believe will achieve another but it take some time before it happen again so just be patience in waiting.

You cannot make a wise investments if you will not remove your doubts. I know that you have a doubts because you do not want to lose your money. You should overcome your fear of investing for you to have high returns.

Never doubt and under estimate this correction. Those people that are whining of the prices, feel sorry for them they invested at the wrong time and they think that their money will grow like plants after planting it.

What you should do now, I think nothing if you can't buy more but if you can do it.

Yes its because many scam investment do exist. The trading and conversion of bitcoin is low and it is still decreasing.

 
You do not have to doubt bitcoin, because it is a reliable investment in the future. Now is the best time to buy bitcoin at a low price.

It's logical. After all, for a long time bitcoin does not give any hints of recovery. So many are beginning to lose hope. I think that doubt has gripped many of us. Another question is how we deal with it. I also try to think about the good and understand that this is just a temporary phenomenon and soon the market will grow again. This is inevitable, because the cryptocurrency is only developing.

For me,we can't stop some people from making doubts in bitcoin especially with its current market condition.Bitcoin price up to the present is still in its bearish trend and lot of investors already have been planning to make an exit and cut losses.But knowing bitcoin is very volatile,there are still high chances that its price will suddenly rise up.So let's be more positive in dealing with this crypto market.

I think, we should wait. Time will show, when BTC price will go up. Anyway, it will rise soon, I'm sure. Another question that it will be not a sharp pump, but gradual and constant rise.

Optimism is really needed when investing in crypto currency. Many people are still skeptical about this technology, most of them only consider cryptocurrency to be a technology that will end and be replaced by new technology. This is what is needed about optimism, when you do not have optimism about crypto currency maybe you will end up and leave it, but when you have strong optimism towards crypto currency then when the price decline is happening you will make it as a field to buy more.

Bitcoin start is quite lower value compare 2017, let's see the comparison

2017 : Bitcoin uptrending
2018 : bitcoin downtrending
2019 : start from 2018's downtrending , will it continue to down or up ?

Of course I'm expect it gonna up

It is actually not easy at this long term dump period.
Few of us that are still claiming to be strong. Its either we have other sources of income or we have made a lot of conversion before the dump. We have a hope that this year 2019 something better will happen. As a matter of fact we expect bull run. Mind you without without the bull run,you may also become weak.

Everyone is concerned about Bitcoin's current price, and people say Bitcoin is no longer a good choice because it is standing in this position for the past a year. Why do people look at its current price? Why don't you think about the amount it achieved in previous years? And you should note that Bitcoin has a very high rate compared to the return of 2016.

Many doubt bitcoin because many get fooled by looking at the temporary price variation in bitcoin but in reality it is becoming successful day by day and anyone think otherwise what I can say is nothing to worry and bitcoin prices went down due to the uncertainty that people has regarding it and this is mainly because many news and media companies who only show negative things regarding bitcoin and that is the main reason why majority of investors and traders don't believe in there investments these days but I hope this situation will change in the future with with more bitcoin into business adaptation and increase of usability which might take some time but possible to happen that is why we can agree that this is just the beginning for bitcoin and its future progress so there is nothing to doubt about bitcoin

When a sluggish market becomes the time to buy or wait for a recovery, this becomes a test and if you are patient in dealing with it then in the future you will have the chance to get great results.

Most provably new year will be coming very dumping market. BTC and ETH holder feel scared about cryptocurrency price also i have a lot doubt about Bitcoin price in the new year. I can not take any more pressure in the bearish market.

Bitcoin price is down and I agree but I don't think but I don't see a significant reason to doubt its future because now only it has started to recover and progress than in the past and I say that because few years back bitcoin was just a trading asset for greedy people who used to make quick money and nothing productive was done using it but now if you search the internet there are many options and facilities to use or pay using bitcoin and that is strong evidence that it is going in a successful path and if its users smart enough they should understand this price drop is just temporary and should trust to invest further than doubting 

Unfortunately, or fortunately, bitcoin price volatility is an integral part of it, which is a feature of its development. So we should just take it for granted and be patient to give bitcoin the opportunity to go back to its past high price and continue to grow. Therefore, do not sell your coins, otherwise you will not get the profit because of which you bought bitcoins.

I have been waiting since the beginning of 2018 until now, but it turns out that the price of bitcoin is still down and has not matched what I expected. I am sure that the price of bitcoin will definitely go up again, maybe in 2019 or maybe next year and maybe a few years to come. For that I remain in my belief and always be loyal with patience waiting for the rise in the price of bitcoin according to what I expected, because if I give up now that means I accept defeat and my waiting since the beginning of 2018 will be in vain, maybe you can do what I do now, that is to remain in faith and always be patient, because at one time the price of bitcoin will definitely rise again.

Thats what people usually tend to think when they can't earn quick money . I know some people aswell that entered crypto when btc was around 15k USD and now they think its a scam / pyramid scheme . Myself im really optimistic aswell , just need a little wait :)

Sure there will be lots of doubts and only those who are true can stand the test of this time well its a fresh start for the year lets wait and see whats  in store for us lets just stay positive thanks

I don't think there are many activities that we can do especially if there is no capital for trade or investment.
I believe bitcoin will grow in time, it's just that of course it will take a while. this is the delema for us

I know how it feel when we loss a lot, there is no need to stop but to move on. This thing requires strong heart and have a huge courage, risking our time in here is just risking our future also that is why we should fine a ways in order to survive and even win the game.
Our emotions will take away our plans and could just create doubts if we listen negatives around. It is just usual thing to happen as a human but we should think what right and wrong, and stick on the set plan. 

All we can do is waiting a momentum.
When I try to see bitcoin chart, it shows that the downtrending resistense so it's highly possible that bitcoin value gonna decrease.
So My suggestion is not purchase any bitcoin at this moment !

That's the spirit.!
Be still optimistic.
Keep waiting further improvement.
Pretty much sure everything has an end written already.
Once the limitation of dump reach, possible pump of crypto will happen again.

It is not actually new to me, majority of the community here in the forum or in this field of business are usually most often got frustrated particularly if the price of bitcoin was getting down. And I think that's normal for the individual members here, but just like you said being optimistic was one of the good virtues of being a trader. And the most important is were not the one who have a doubt in Bitcoin.

Now there is a period of uncertainty and many do not understand what the right choice to make. I decided for myself to look at what is happening from the side and buy more bitcoin after overcoming 6000$ ! Since it means a clear "bullish" market!

If you truly believe in Bitcoin, then you know what to do. You should hold if you think you could win. I think it'll be a cold year again this year unless another event happened. I'm looking forward to Ethereum's news shaking the market. Let's just see what will happen next.

It seems like even experienced investors doubt about bitcoin when comes to invest but I think bitcoin will have a great future and the price will rise very soon because even the now the market seems to recover from its drop and some say this is due to the decline of the stock market but what ever the reason behind what we all know is bitcoin is going through a successful path than the past by adapting into businesses and expanding its areas and gaining more users day by day so I think smart holders should able believe in there investments without any doubt

I agree it is common for any one to doubt but some does that unnecessarily and make decisions by panicking which makes negative effects on both the market and them self in vain  and that is why most of the time bitcoin prices move down even it is doing great than in the past and everyone should understand bitcoin has recover many times after dropping in price and specially in this time when everything is working in bitcoins favor definitely there will be a positive trend for bitcoin so abundening in today means loosing the profits that can gain in the near future so doubt will never do good for the bitcoin market or the investor   

its is painful that those who believed in bitcoin and use to say they will hold no matter what are now beginning to fright since price has not gone up for a while now. It goes to sow they never believed in the bitcoin ideology, they were only around because they thought they could cash out some profit from it quickly

Only fake investors doubting bitcoin and maybe that includes you since you can create thread like this ,all of them will surely cry if bitcoin hits a million a piece when time comes so if you really optimistic about the grown of this coin then better invest now so we will be happy tomorrow

You risk it at the first place  but in doubt. That is difficult course that you have taken. You are fighting against yourself and there is medicine for that. You should for someone to talk to.  ;D

Doubts are okay. It makes you strong as a believer of one unknown subject. If you dont doubt bitcoin at the first place then you wont be doing more research to have knowledge about it.
It is a good thing. But the market of it cannot be predicted. All you have to do is wait.

it is true that there are many doubts about working in a bounty campaign, working on a bounty campaign now does not guarantee, now finding coins in a bounty campaign is very difficult

Many investors experience fear and panic with crypto currency investments because prices are decreasing very badly here is very much needed confidence and patience in investing in the development of crypto currencies depending on the investor

I think it is better to wait until it become high again because we all know that bitcoin can go up and reach all time high in a short period of time on which this time we should grab this opportunity to buy more while the market is in low price and can help us to earn a huge profit in the future.

bitcoin will not be bull in a short time, I think we have witnessed every correction that occurred over the past year. and until now the red trend is still enveloping the market.
compounded by rumors of rampant hacking. so I think the best option at the moment is just keep watching and waiting

This bearish market that happened last year is still lingers and this one of the reasons why the confidence of many investors are still low compared to 2017. If you don't want to go for longv0term investment then try to trade the coins  but you have learn and master the art of cojn trading first. Trading is more risky but earning profits is faster than holding the coins for months or years..

People's doubt about bitcoin's price ever rising again could be attributed largely to the market downward trend of last year.
The only logical solution is long term investment orswibg trading.
I know of many that are doing swing trading and they are making it.

we have to be together and share and reinforce each other so that there is no doubt about bitcoin, and other coins when prices go down, now we are multiplying coins by means of investment, if there is doubt it means not believing, if you believe it will succeed ..

People do doubt things when the price moves are not in their favour but not everyone does. Some people are patient and believe that if they hold long enough that the price will move upwards again.

I think that only applies to people who have just known Bitcoin. I am sure Bitcoin investors and the holders still believe even though the value is now not good. Keep holding your coins and still believe the value of Bitcoin will rise again later.

Panic is certainly experienced by everyone who invests in bitcoin when prices always go down and there is no sign of the price increase, there are those who are able to be patient and some are afraid of bigger losses and eventually sell in a loss. I think in a bitcoin price situation that is currently down and unstable, the best step is to keep holding and patiently waiting, we will never know for sure when there will be a price increase, but at least we can be sure that price increases will occur, only a time problem that will determine when that happens.

I think that the most correct decision is to practice trading if you have not already done so. If you have enough knowledge and experience for this, then of course trade. Only trade can now give you a profit. So despite the significant decline in prices for cryptocurrencies, don't stop just on faith.

But this is not exclusive to bitcoin, it is a (newbish) trader's dillema. Oops, you just invested in stock/asset/forex and the price went down, it could recover tomorrow, or next year... If you sell now you lose, do you really have something else in mind that would make you more money before the time it takes to recover, even incurring in a temporary loss?

It also has to do with the trader's strategy. Short or long, diversified investment? Any parallel business to keep the cash flow going in?

If someone stops believing in Bitcoin because of its low price, then he is just a speculator. To understand what strength and capabilities Bitcoin has, you should start to read about how the blockchain works, and the best to read Bitcoin Whitepaper.

Doesn't matter anyone doubt about bitcoin investment and it is due to the market condition which shakes even experienced investors but No other currency in the crypto world can face and also survive that bitcoin has faced and I think there are major reasons why it has the capability to do that and one is the demand or power it has gained as the first digital currency in the world and another reason is bitcoin enthusiast because for any currency to be alive there should be users and without that no currency can continue and even bitcoin lost considerable amount of potential holders still there are many users from the beginning until now and that helped bitcoin a lot to survive with these restrictions or barriers and that is the main reason bitcoin will continue

The market was totally giving anxiety to anyone who are not mature enough in this industry, but if we really do understand what is really going on, of course we are going to be a bullish no matter what it takes we know that bull run will really comes to us soon, just stay hold for awhile, until the sun rise again.

Depends on why you got involved in bitcoin to begin with, if it is riches you seek (as most people do) keep an eye on developments, try to ignore the FUD (unless there is actual data to backup a claim) and hold on for the next 4 years or so.

Don't invest more than you are willing to lose and remember to take profit on the way up in increments so regardless of what happens, you made out well on your investment.

If it is the tech which interests you, there is a lot of cool reading and second layer solutions happening which you may find useful.

consistent with what you believe, if you believe the price of bitcoin will rise again this year, then keep holding your coins, and if you have more money, buy as much bitcoin as you can.
But if you are still in doubt, keep watching the market movements, don't let you take the wrong step. I also think positively and optimistically, despite the news out there, such as the crisis in the EU and the lack of peace between America and China, which makes I doubt the market will recover in the near future.

It is how you make your strategy effectively. Disgusted people are those who expect much on bitcoin to increase its price because the more they wait, the price drops. Optimistic people do different things and work on how they make it profitable due to the volatility of the coin.

I think this is normal, it will happen to bitcoin. because what else is it that the current situation is like this, and for people who are not comfortable with this, of course it will back off, and it seems that people really follow bitcoin, and which people just want to make money from bitcoin, don't want the risk.

I don't see doubt arising AFTER an informed investment decision. Doubt is an indicator that you didn't know what you were buying.
People who buy things that they don't understand will always lose their money long-term anyway.

Of course, what you see is only new users, who only want to get money instantaneously, that's the characteristic of people who don't have a city that is very unclear for the future, compared to the popes they focus on developing bitcoin in the future not only just thinking about very big profits, if this long-term investment using bitcoin does not mean that years to come will have no value, but it will have a very high value ...

All you need to now is continue to keep track on the price of bitcoin or you probably can diversify your investment for now there are some good altcoin that still growing even in this present market situation

Many people still hope for ETFs, but I don't think that's a good idea. You must be absolutely sure about the future of bitcoin, if you only want to invest and expect something uncertain then sooner or later you will be bored and leave the cryptocurrency, if something you expect is not what you want.

People in crypto place are divided into doubtful and doubtless. Doubtful are those who possibility experienced bad things recently and couldn't wait furthermore. Doubtless are those who remains optimistic and believing the rise will happen again any time despite of market ups and down. It is normal to see people who are doubting bitcoin and the rest of the altcoins.

Those who understand Bitcoin well and know the risks of Bitcoin investment will not panic with the decline in Bitcoin prices to date. If we look at the development of Bitcoin since its presence in the crypto world, surely there will be no doubt to stay and wait, because Bitcoin often experiences price declines and will eventually experience a surge in price increases that can benefit us all.

That is just a normal to wait for bitcoin market price to go high and doubt. We all feel the same thing also. Yet, we are still waiting for something that could happen to bitcoin market. What should we do?

Well wait for some time and see what will going to happen for cryptocurrency or bitcoin market price. If it goes good then for sure we will be having some good hopes that we will be able to feel the bitcoin bull run again.

OP, you have to be more patience now. I dont advise to invest more on bitcoin but to wait instead on what will going to happen for bitcoin.

Doubting bitcoin means doubting the investment that has been going on for several years, where prices always go up and down.
For the future, bitcoin will definitely rise again, because trust is the most important thing in an investment.
Maybe the increase in the price of bitcoin is not too sharp, but it will be a driving force for bitcoin holders to not hesitate.

Many people will end up being disappointed because they have placed high hope in the year 2019 and their expectations are not fourth coming, one thing we should know is that the growth of bitcoin market is not tie to time or year but it usability is what can change the price. Once there is high demands the market will pick.

It takes time for a market to recover. Some investors are just impatient and thinks it will just rise without any reason. All bitcoiners are disappointed with this long period of correction, but interesting to see where it all goes from here

Like you said. Be optimistic. I'm confident that, sooner or later, this bearish phase of the market will end and prices will start to grow again.

Obviously, for those who have invested in the market when it was at much higher prices, it is always difficult to bear emotionally such a fall of the market ...

one  of the facts we need to keep in mind is this, despite the long bearish market, there are more crypto platforms and ecosystem being developed.These will provide a strong backbone for the next bull run, no need to lose hope , just give cryptos some time to gather momentum
