Today, the cryptocurrency has grown very well due to rumors of ETF approval, but what has changed during this time? - right! anything increase is most likely temporary. Your opinion?

Its all temporary but who knows if the price would shoot up to the ceiling.The best thing you can do now is to make short.If you did able to buy when btc's price is still on 3.3k then you are making profits as of this moment.
Im not already longing or focusing for long term swings but rather on shorter ones since i do see it profitable.

No one knows the exact thing what fueled the small fire. Maybe that ETF can be consider but for me, no special thing behind the sudden bit rise.

We will just know what will be the changes if we allow to just let the progress push forward.

We can't just speculate what will happen next just because of a few hours price increase.

It might be due to the rumors but its not yet confirmed that ETF soon to be approved. But if it does, the source will come out as soon as possible. I wont be too negative about this that its just temporary increase though possibilities are high and it can also be a trap.

Lets give enough time for bitcoin to show on whats really the current state. It would be the best thing if we really touched the bottom which I've been believing that we actually did.

Point of correction, the market didn't grow as a result of a probable ETF approval. In fact, the market is tires of all those rampant bear and bull related news. Over the past few weeks, the market has been silent on news and I think it's still is. What happened in the oast 24 hours could've been a natural market phenomena but personally, In don't thing the SEC iasue is involved deeply.

What market phenomena are you saying here? Market reacts for every news, and currently there are reports that a Bitcoin ETF could be approved so that might be the reason that trigger this bounce back. The market wouldn't pick up if there's no news, but I will still be cautious that this could be a trap, so let's see how it pans out in the next several days.

The market could've reacted to the ETF rumor but there's no way of telling that it's the main reason that caused this 7% increase on another thread someone mentioned it's about the hashrate.

What he's saying is this could be a normal day in crypto because we've seen the price move back and forth in the last few months. He's not wrong though the traders are capable of moving the price upward even without the ETF news.

yes it is already good that there is some kind of reaction to events
I always said that growth takes time and this growth will not be fast
the main thing that the price does not stand still
we will wait for the flight to the stars

The rise was in the market as a whole and there is no deviation except in a one cryptos "LTC" which means that it is caused by good news for society as a whole.
Is the ETF approval the reason? Yes, it may be true, but the hopes are not really positive.
We will see a period of stability and perhaps the price will rise due to internal influences "New forks" or government decisions until we reach the middle of next year.

You are right nothing has changed, after more then ten years we may still be the early adaptors. Mass adoption will come one day, until then accumulate and hodl.

The fact that we had that movement shows that ETF is really a good mover of cryptocurrency. Is the right time to accumulate because mass adoption might just be around the way approaching.

Until there is a clearer regulation of ICO and cryptocurrency by government authorities,as long as there are a lot of scams in the market,the rate will not grow strongly.I am waiting for the summer, they promised to develop common rules of regulation.

This is exactly what I'm saying all the time. People are expecting too much from ETF approval thinking it will do some kind of miracle for Bitcoin price. But I can't agree with that, ETF approval will influence the price, if ever, only on short term temporary basis. This might cause some instant effect more or less similar like we saw the other day. So, nothing essential will change with ETF approval, this is my opinion.

Bitcoin already did the impossible. Newbies are trying and wishing something impossible to happen just cause some etf or just cause they got into bitcoin this days. Is there a bigger picture? There is, first bitcoins were free, not price is $3,500! In less then 10 years bitcoin did the impossible, and this is not the end, this is a new beginning.

Yeah the rumor gave decent and effective to the market. But there's also side effect when it takes place. Looking at the positive perspective, we're moving ahead to $4,000 barrier very soon.

We're near to mass adoption and right now we really are going there. While we can have time to invest through these prices, don't doubt to invest because we might never see these prices in the future when large percentage of the world already adopted bitcoin.

Yes,it did something impossible for the other kind of investment in this world,why need to care about ETF approval and it won't make the bitcoin better.

The prices were not good for now but in another 10 years we may see the prices in unimaginable level,so keep your investment right and long.

Investors are desperate, they will try to cling to any hope they have and the only way they see the market recovering is if the ETF is approved, honestly I do not care if it happens, if it does I will look at the market and see its repercussions but if it does not then it will be easy for me to accept since I do not expect an approval of an ETF anytime soon, the only reason to be happy with the rumours is if you are a short term trader that can get advantage of the fast fluctuations in the market, something I cannot do.

then what do you think is the reason on why cryptos have pumped last 2 years ago ?  its not about the regulation , its not about the scamming or anything but its about the demand  . there's no accurate time , theres no schedule for people to buy cryptos  . they will just invest whenever they like  .


rumors about etf do already makes the price to move . how much more if etf is already confirmed that they accept bitcoin ?  existing investors and newly investors will panic buying  if that happens  . that event can the bitcoin better

I don't know what will happen at this market but I can exactly say that it is changing...
This market what we have now cannot be compared with a previous market conditions 8)

How I missed the good times when almost every shitcoin pumped and people profited off them.

Now I doubt BTC will even reach 10K when news can simply send everyone into panic mode.

I think that either the EFT decision is in favour of bitcoin or not, after solving ETF issue bitcoin price will again start increasing. I think that even if there is any bad news come from EFT meeting it will affect the market temporally and after some time the market will start recovering. We always expect that bitcoin will again do something impossible.

The opportunities to get profits are still there but as you say it is not as easy as before, but be glad, if you can find the way to still be profitable now then once the bull market returns you will have a very easy time getting profits whenever that happens, while most of your competitors that know how to make money only under those conditions will either leave the market and never return or lose so much capital that they will no longer be competitors for you.

As I warned, the market collapsed) now just will not grow (on empty promises)

I look at the change of course for a few days. It's working out just like I predicted.Until April 2019, the bitcoin exchange rate will hold about 3200-4200 dollars. Who does not believe me,please search my previous posts.

Rumors are nothing more then just that- rumors.
The amount of 4000$ threads that were started because people thought we were entering a bull market is astounding.

The market are still the same but with different prices for coins. Nothing has changed in the market except the traded volumes which have affected prices. And so investors ate holding lots of their money. Apart from this, cryptocurrency still remains what it is but the adoption is not coming up fast.

This was the warning of quite a lot of people actually, so I think it was largely expected,,, the market as you say cannot just grow on empty promises or McAfee Tweets anymore. We have to wise up to these expectations and think about fundamentals. Which are growing strong as ever, but cannot deliver bull runs and green days.

Hight hashpower, higher transactions, lower fees, everything points to mass adoption,,, this is the important fundamental that we can rely on. Not million dollar Tweets from ex cons.

All increases or decreases are temporary, the point is only how long they will be :D I am pretty sceptical that we will be able to see such long increase of the price as we used to in 2017. Such things happen once in history.

I guess it's a matter of imagination. There is the barrier, the competitor and the crowd cheering.
Competitor readies himself for the jump, audience is making appreciative noise, obstacle falls and everybody is happy.
We saw just that but with a twist and with reverse gear action... imagination was stimulated, for literally few minutes though.
Now the audience is back to its seats and observing patiently, awaiting another world record attack. In the meantime they chat.
What else they can do? IMO nothing bad and out of the ordinary, there will be more.  

Not quite true, if you check the entire chart, bitcoin's price has been on the rise. Even if the market falls after a spurt, it settles at a much higher price that it previously was. So technically, the market is always on the ascendancy. In a few years the average support level would likely be much higher than it is now.

Well this happen when bitcoin was in a run in 2017. That's why we said that bitcoin is so resilient that it was able to bounce back even higher than the previous highs.

But right now, we're not ascending but technically only moving sideways then dramatic fall. $6000-$6500 price for what like 2-4 months then in November we went on $3k-$4k and now the same pattern emerge, sideways.

Whether its temporary or not it is as a result of  rumoured ETF approval there is a remarkable pumping of the price having hit $4K  for a while before retracing or pullback to 3$K8 which is also a good point to take profit which stood at low of $3K3 before the rumour approval.

I have a feeling that everyone is just waiting a constant growth from bitcoin. People, temporary changing of the price is normal, do not be so greedy and naive, please!

Everything often becomes temporary, because the majority of bitcoin users are still easily shaken by the news, they're not firm on their respective standpoints, and once again I say, bitcoin will definitely increase rapidly, if most governments throw away their shortsighted egos for his hatred of bitcoin and uses it as the second exchange medium after the fiat currency.

Yeah everything is seem temporary at the moment, the support of Bitcoin is a bit weak at the moment,so whenever there's a rising it could slip back again easily, without any major news Bitcoin price won't be going up significantly, and even with big news the price also got the hard time to rise, it's truly a hard time for Bitcoin

If you notice the price of bitcoin last week are rising slowly but in just a minutes the price falling down again this indicate that the market is manipulating by a bigwhale, bitcoin itself is doing a wrong move to make the price down let's give more time to make bitcoin bull run again like what you said all this increased/decreased are temporary.

Why do you consider that this drop is permanent and will not rise what so ever in coming time ? Their is a huge wave that will come in the market to buy at this rate leading to increase in demand and prices . So rest assured that market will improve .

Of course the market can improved .  the dump in the price are only part of the game but the dump can be an advantage to some  .  newly investors that are interested on cryptos are only waiting for this moment before they finally enter and joined the ride  .

Bitcoin does the impossible things because no matter how hard the dump , bitcoin still hold tight in order for its value to not drop below zero  .

We can't judge that way if we don't have any basis for such doings. Everything will found to be normal and nothing put a blame for its fluctuations.
We have an unpredictable market and every moves varies from the market demand, and so we gonna expect ups and lows everytime. We've been moving quite a little, it some good things happen with and to give us hope for the good things happen in the coming days.

I likes your determination but you got good point in your discussion mate, because no time is permanent in crypto currency as if price now a day is low so there is no issue about it will be high again, take a look to the history and you will know it has been happening since beginning of market, so no need to be worry because it is normal you only try to take advantage of situation.

I suppose that it's only the temporal state, and it's going down again, somewhere at $3800

In crypto many things are just temporary, not because they don`t last, it`s because they are constantly evolve. I can`t believe that many people still believe that ETF have some connections with crypto prices, for me that`s stupid. Bitcoin get to here without that, bitcoin touched ath at 20k without ETF and SEC and all others. Do you really think that we need their approval? Maybe companies need it, maybe US citizens need it, but world is much bigger.

In the crypto market, until at any time it's impossible for the price to be eternal or stable, besides its value which tends to fluctuate. In my opinion, it's not bad for most investors and traders who understand the nature and performance of crypto currencies, so with any method they can benefit from crypto, because, under any circumstances cryptocurrency always provides opportunities for its users.

Exactly as you said, This increase of price It's just in a temporal state, according to preev right now, bitcoin price is ~3800-3850$. There is also still hope for a high increase in the few next weeks as I think! maybe it can touch the 4.5k$, this is only my prediction and now we should be patient and we will wait for the news, whether it's good or bad, and we will hope for the good news of course.

Issues like this will continue to crop up every now and then except there is a solid base to justify the increase. The matter is even made worse by active crypto enthusiasts who are expected to be in the know or even more knowledgeable about the happenings of the market but they are the ones who are quick to even spread the rumours the more about how this is the next best thing or how the sky is the starting point only to burst the hope of people.

Bitcoin doesn't try to do impossible. From the most beginning bitcoin showed itself as logical development of all monetary system that we used to know before that. Bitcoin was financial freedom, but with time, together with it's growth and higher prices the government decided to stop it due to bitcoin started to perform danger to used norms and rules. For now bitcoin is fighting to bring back it's free and over the globe use. Maybe in this point it is doing impossible, because of as I see not all governments support such financial freedom.

The approval of ETF will undoubtedly have a positive impact on Bitcoin, but in the long term, bitcoin does not try to do the impossible, we are in a phase of high volatility, most investors want to buy cheap and hold until Bitcoin rises to more of $ 20k, this will happen, but you do not know when. The market stages clearly show it.

The fact that etf is accepted or not is not important for me.   the fact that etf is accepted or not is not important for me. when people will be convinced that they will not be accepted, and when the bitcoin price falls down Example: like $ 1500. That's when the EFT is accepted and the price comes out.

Ok, the way I understand it, you wanted for the price to go lower before the SEC approved the Bitcoin ETF so that it will push the price? Why waited for the price to go $1500? Why not now when the price is still strong at $3800.

Anyhow, I don't think that we can see ETF's approval though. In fact, SEC will just delay its decision and then just deny it, like the rest of the ETF's in the past, they're all good in paper, however, when the question about market manipulation is not answered, SEC will simply throw the proposal to the trash bin.

Well done because you said allot in single sentence, we are in modern age where we have allot of facilities and having crypto currency is one of them, there is nothing impossible in crypto currency market, it can make your rich and billionaire even within few months and hours for being holder and good investor so everything is possible but skills will be required.

Its really becoming hard to confirm what causes either the rise or fall in crypto currency values. And I think this is what the secret of its success. Few fake and true news impact the growth slightly but still none knows who is controlling the price. Its the whales? or exchanges? or news or any events or forks come up?

Of course whales regulate the price.There are several dozens of large cryptocurrency holders. Last year,we saw that positive news did not lead to an increase in cryptocurrency rates.

Nothing has changed, i don't think so ETF approval will have a remarkable effect on the price.
Market fluctuations are normal as like before, so you can say it temporary unless a major change will occur in the future.
Predictions are not going to work here in this market.

It has really get dumped after that bull run but not to were it starts from.  Bitcoin is going to do well when market started to recover and ETF get approved.  I know that if ETF can be approved institutionals investors are going to come into the market and push the price upwards.

Any increase fueled by a rumor could only be temporary, if it were to be more than a rumour market would have increased more than that and maybe there might have been btc new all time high, many people are waiting for this approval to enter into crypto space including institutional investors.

Well, and every drop is also temporary, you know. If you look at the subject more wide you will see that even our fiat that we use now and gold has their ups and downs, so that doesn't need to be surprisingly to you, OP, and us in general.

Yes, everything is temporary and the question is consistent or not, but after a few weeks have passed there is still no consistent increase which means ETF approval will indeed not push the price of the bitcoin to be bullish. Nothing is impossible, the potential to recover will still occur

Your point of a conclusion is near to the truth, I also noticed that the movement in the price of a crypto market is that after a dragging too much down it will also rapidly increasing, which means just like zigzag motion. But the spike price is just normal and surely it because of highly volatile. Well, a bunch of crypto enthusiasts waiting for that ETF implementation will be approved and make price better.

We still don't know about that bolded statement. We haven't seen any ETF approval so we can't definitely say what's the impact on the price in the future.

But as far as I'm concern, those ETF's will really push the price because more investors will get into the market. The only question is how long will the price go assuming that ETF's as going to be approved in the future.

So let's say the ETF is really approved, crypto. enthusiast are expecting a huge jum on the price since institutional money will flow in the ecosystem. And I even see reports that Bitcoin could go and increased as high as 500% here: (https://totalcrypto.io/bitcoin-etf-analysis/). But this is just an analysis that we're not sure if it's going to happened so everything is still up in the air and we really can say for certain if it will really have a huge positive impact on the market.

Definitely, If the ETF is approved definitely bitcoin will gain much from the current price but I don't think it is still going to be approved for now but maybe in upcoming years

Well a bitcoin ETF mimics the price of the most popular digital currency in the world. So other people says that when the time of its approval the Bitcoin crypto currency community somehow goes up temporarily due to the fact that it allows investors to buy into the ETF without going through the complicated process of trading bitcoin itself. But for me, whether this happened, nothing special because no one can prove that this is the reason for the sudden small rise up of the crypto market. Furthermore, here in the crypto currency community, a sudden ups and downs are not new to have, because the world of the crypto currencies, its crypto market is always have a waves of unexpected happenings.

For sure it is the best currency which is already being accept by all people and by so many new countries, if price rises it is only because of two factors, which is more adoption for low availability and for more holding than selling, so if people stop selling for panic price start rising by itself without any our side support so for bitcoin nothing is impossible.

ETF is not the only thing which can increase the bitcoin price. A lot of exchanges and investments are coming in bitcoin and the fomo of Halving will also start soon. Bitcoin is following the pattern and if things move as expected we can see another bull run by the mid of next year. Bitcoin will cross 50,000$ this time as predicted by many experts.

Bitcoin is actually made with a proper planning and with proper way of increasing price and all other, so it is really good to wait for your time and we are living in modern world so really need to have technologies, it has anonymous nature because of it price rises and gets down, once it started to rise it increase very high.

50000$??? People, let's be realistic, this is much too exaggerated. And true experts wouldn't rush in such unreasonable predictions. I don't see that any trigger will start such huge price growth. Not ETF not halving can't influence the price in such huge range.maybe only temporary and in a much lower scale.

Until the summer, do not wait for any very positive news. In the summer, FATF will prepare global rules to regulate the cryptocurrency market.

By going through various processes and various rumours that have developed in the community, the existence of bitcoin is still in demand by various communities. There is nothing impossible that Bitcoin will go back up and be in the spotlight as it did in 2017. The fluctuating prices and corrections are normal in the market, as long as Bitcoin moving rise and stable there's no need to panic I guess.

Bitcoin price really makes a little improvement and that's already good news for me even in a small additional value of bitcoin it can help the market influence also some other coins to increase. I hope there are some big investors again will take this opportunity to buy and make the value more valuable.  :D

Truly, Bitcoin does a lots of things that sometimes we thought is very impossible to do or happen. But with Bitcoin it becomes very possible to be able to send and get money anywhere in the world at any given time, which is just a simple thing now that in the past was so impossible for fiat currencies. Similarly, Bitcoin also allowing users to be in control of their transactions help keep Bitcoin safe for the network and also, due to the fact that personal information is kept hidden from prying eyes, Bitcoin protects against identity theft.
Furthermore, for a experience, I have been buy my needs and also my wants though crypto currencies, because the time that I entered the gate of crypto, it gives me hopes and dreams as well.

No doubt with each passing day bitcoin is improving value and it is rising high, so in this situation selling is really not a good option, 2017 was really an amazing year when price was too high and it got to the peak, now again I guess it will happen when price will rise too high with help of investors support and investment, which is actual strength of bitcoin so just hold and wait.

Any increase the price of Bitcoin had that days has nothing to do with what people are saying.
It has do with the doers and not those who are busy by the side talking and doing nothing.

Some people here do nothing, they have no contributions to make, all they can do is talk all day and that’s the only contribution they have to make. If everyone should start to invest no matter what, you will see that the price will start to recover back again.

we can only wait for large investors to be able to increase the movement of bitcoin prices on the market even if growth is fast, it can trigger more public interest in being able to invest in bitcoin because they are tempted to take advantage of it.

Yeah indeed more investors are joining the market and it is really good for the future of bitcoin, slow and steady use to win the race as I know price is slowly rising but I am happy at least it is rising, in very short time we will see bitcoin making huge and remarkable progress, I am also holding and I am hopeful to see price above my expectation this time.

The movements of the price in reactions to that ETF news was actually very limited and temporary but it has given the market high momentum to sustain the current level. Bitcoin could have gone down too much if not that news because before the ETF approval news hit the market many speculators were saying bitcoin is going below $3000 but since then we are now seeing a new pattern of speculations that it is moving towards $4500 or $4800 and some are even saying bitcoin is heading toward the strong resistance level of $5850. I hope things change for good and we are able to see a new bull run very soon.

Things will change all of a sudden if ETF gets it approved then we will see the prices to rise very quickly and can even cross 10k quickly on that matter as demand will rise double fold as many investors would like to jump at that point of time.

The main focus for everyone who has an investment in bitcoin is like that, Bitcoin ETF to be accepted, many people will knows bitcoin and give an effect to massive adoptions from many companies and also many merchant will accept cryptocurrency as payment system.

However, the steps to reach that achievement is really hard, many things that must be consider by SEC such as volatility price, liquidity and manipulation prices are problems that cannot be avoided and we as a user will see that as a normal things.

ETF dramas aren't affecting the Bitcoin price (or perhaps just 1-2 days), that's old. I agree there is a new pattern of speculations taking place, personally, I also believe the BTC value has still the potential to go below the $3,000. It's just some days with ~1% increase, nothing significant, when it will be 30 consecutive days it will be another story.

US want to take control on cryptos that is why this ETF approval and Sec commission formation all things happened. Still we are looking after this people and waiting this is the reason for the price bump and dump. Actually this is the mental issue we have with the knowledge about cryptos. Surely market will boom after the coming halving. I am waiting for it.

ETF approval is a big decision which will impact the bitcoin volume and price. But on the other hand, if bitcoin ETF is not approved, it will also not hurt bitcoin much. The main reason is that bitcoin is a currency which everyone will use and it has so many benefits. Even if ETF and Sec approvals are not there, still bitcoin will survive and surely will boom in future.

Exactly it is very important to sell your coin if the price is right for you to sell, taking tension about ETF is just waste of time, and price rises temporary waiting for nothing will reduce your earning and will only give your mental stress so the only rule which makes crypto currency do even impossible rise is buying at low, hold and then sell at prefect time.

Everything is possible with bitcoin. Every situation happens for a reason. Price or new trading pairs are just normal to bitcoin. The use of bitcoin is becoming better like using it as a payment on online shop where they cam secure there TXID. Bitcoin is very useful and profitable also it's volatility makes the bitcoin to become more important that is why impossible happens like changing it's price too low.

That's just how it has been acting this year and last year. It goes up and you start to think that there is going to be a Bull run very soon but the next thing you know the price is already going down and crashing with speed. But I have been quite happy all this while that the price managed to cross $4000 and trying to break major resistance levels around $100. I'm hoping that it stays above the four thousand price and continue to rise from there.

Because the ETF has not been approved we have to see the little bullish momentum as a temporary one.  I think we are going to have a good news before we can see  a strong reversal.  It is important that we invest based on this fundamental issues that the market is waiting on.

Today the bitcoin price and crypto market is going up. I'm not sure what things that make the bitcoin price and crypto market go up. Not because of ETF obviously but it's going up so high. Imagine if ETF also confirmed, it will makes the market go higher and more higher.

It's not due to ETF, some article says that this was because of one Asian buyer but there's no valid proof for that claim. I don't put my hopes with Bitcoin ETF proposal anymore, they have delayed it again and again.

And in the future, I guess the same thing will be said by the SEC. They all love to delay things and give the people that excitement that we shouldn't feel because in the end, we'll all feel discourage and disappointment because we hoped.

Well, I have spend more than 2 years and in this period, i realize we can't judge perfectly what is going now. Last year in 2018 was worst year for crypto market, and about bitcoin it has down too much even mostly predictions was that the end of the year of 2018 bitcoin price will cross $18000 but you see it has nothing. So we are doing trading and it is risky, so take risk behalf of your ability. Basically we earn from holding, so patiently doing every trading. 

It is time to make a profit for those who have bought BTC at a lower price. We don't know how long the price keeps growing

Bitcoin ETF approval will be a great step for crypto currency and once it is approved, we will see the good volume in crypto.
No one knows when it will be approved as it has been delayed a number of times.

There was a time when Bitcoin ETF was considered as a major event that should be approved for bitcoin to start the uptrend. But it has postponed so many times that now it has lost its hype and now no one care if Bitcoin Eft is approved or not. The current market is still in uptrend and positive direction without any approval from ETF.

History is the history mate, but now it has more value than before with time things has changed and it is getting more value than before we will have to move with time, bitcoin has huge ability we only will have to recognize it and work on it, bitcoin has great ability to rise in price and it is making progress day by day.

It will lead to the  increase in demand and this will give rise to the prices and also benefits lot of investors who had being in the investment of this coin from a long time and waiting for the rise from now so many months and finally the wait might be over .

post february value at around 3300 rise 3600 and you share information bitcoin is doing the impossible ,well dude if you buy bitcoin and hold for two months you will get a definite advantage and bitcoin is not impossible ,the increase was due to ETF approval I think at that time only a reasonable increase in the market however if there is a connection with ETF rumors the value of bitcoin will continue to touch the sun :D

Many things besides that can affect to the cryptocurrency/Bitcoin become more shining and play a better role, many people who still believe in all its advantages/strengths that cover human economic life become more advanced than before. I think there will be more and more agreements that crypto is indeed worth adopting.

Why just two months? why not extend it for more months or even for another year or two. People of the world are now becoming active and interested with bitcoin, this is just the start of it. The market rises and demand are increasing as well.

Forget these ETF rumors, we don't have any idea if the SEC really wants it to approve or they are just gaining some traction first and looking at the feedback of the community. We now have another term for moon, you don't like it? 'bitcoin to the sun', 'when sun?' doesn't sound the usual thing.  :D

More people got the chance to learned about this cryptocurrency, with that knowledge they seen potentials and start to enter this market, it's not only about some news where bitcoin will move forward but from adoptions mainly from those who just learned about this industry.

It's really great with many of us when bitcoin price has been rising in consecutive days. Honestly, it pleased all people who has has faith on it. Well, in the last year- 2018, everything seemed bad when most people get disappointed with the dramatically falling in bitcoin price as well as the entire crypto market. Most has kept holding and hope that the price can get recovered. And now, i think it has serves our faith. The price has a slight increase, but it's a sign to have a bull run. Hopefully, we can reach the fruits in this year.

The price has been able to reach $5,200+ starting from last week’s upsurge. It was able to reach $5,300+ yesterday,but then it turned down and is back to $5,200 again. So let’s watch and see what’ follows next.

I am not going to take what analysts are saying, they are always wrong. There have been a lot of predictions by even the most expert, but it doesn’t work as they said. So I don’t really think I’m taking what they have to say about this. Will just stay and continue to watch the price.

  YES in 2018 things were not good and it was not profitable to sell, but holding gives better result at the end, but still I must say crypto currency has high potential and there is no need to be worry about the price fall because disappointment leads to lose and it will be much better hold and wait until it recovers, bitcoin has the highest scale but it only needs our support.

If anyone thinks that since bitcoin is rising for past many days, it will crush the 6000$ resistance and move beyond, then it is over confidence. Those who say that bitcoin will move back to 3500$ are under estimating. I think bitcoin will become stable either at 4800- 5000$ or between 5600-5800$.

Price increase when something new is coming up. I've been seeing how the price grow in sudden when big news spread throughout the community. I don't know if someone is  just manipulating the price or it's a natural influx. I still prefer price which was obtain because of true demand, this way price will come more stable. If people decide to buy and hold, there will be natural growth not just because of the manipulation.

The market has been waiting for a response by the decision of the ETF for too long, this expectation has devalued all the rumors, and now they have almost no effect on the market, as it should be in my opinion. What really affects the market is the adoption of the ETF, if the ezhe decision is negative, I do not think that the market will react to this with a fall.

I have long been accustomed not to believe any signals and news.The only thing that can affect the cryptocurrency market in my opinion is the FATF decision, which is expected in the summer.

Well news lately of the 2020 halving has been making rounds and i think this has a lot to do wirh the price moving this way. The sec approval news or rumor has been around for quite some time but the price didn't move up until recently.

Well, future grouth of whole crypto segment strongly depends from adoption (Initial Exchange Offerings, IEO). If main stockexchange players will accept these terms and rules, then we may see new wave of cool technologies and price records.

It is impossible to say what will happen in future . But, at present Bitcoin prices are rising. It,s 100% true is the time to make profit for those who have bought Bitcoin at a lower price. Bitcoin can still be bought. I believe that Bitcoin prices will increase more than current prices.

If you are already satisfied with the growth from your initial investment, best to be contented and enjoy the rewards, we don't know how far bitcoin will rise whether it will be a continuous process r some fall back will happen eventually, you have to be ready and never to decide right away of bad market hits you up, in the end of the day, you alone will have to take your path.

Production of bitcoin has no limit that it use to increase all the time, as you are an investor so surely you should know what is good for you and what can be bad for you, bitcoin has uncountable potential so it can do anything, with the passage of it is gaining more value, in market people are accepting it,  so very soon we are going to see powerful growth even more than this in bitcoin.

It's better than we are always on the downside. But if take a look closely at the history of btc, it does not go back to it's past prices like going to back to 3 digits again. And besides, we are still struggling towards mainstream acceptance so imagine if btc and crypto are used by 70%-80% of the whole population.

Anything is possible in this crypto realm. The price increase might be temporary or it might also continue for a long time, and no one can tell. IT all depends on the greed and faith of the people supporting it, whichever of the two is more dominant. No matter how good a news about bitcoin is, if the people will not ride it, it won't do any good for it. And sad to say, many people are just riding the wave of the market. Thus, there is truly a need for a regulatory body if we really want to see bitcoin's value grows continually.

There is surely no limit for crypto currency to increase when it starts to rise it rises too high, our patience and interest for investment can help us to take good decision, pump and dumps are very not a big deal so we should buy at low price then think only positive, recently price is almost 5k and there are so many chances for the price to be high even more than this.

I do not think what is happening now, which is impossible. For me, it's the other way around - quite the expected outcome. I think this growth will be the start of an uptrend.

Yes, it is hard to predict what will be the future of cryptocurrency, that is the risk part of it, but if you're not ready to take that risk then you're not ready to achieve anything yet. Just like those that took the risk to buy when it was nothing, they never expected it to go up to this extent and now they are happy they did take the risk.

The difference as of now is that the risk in it has increased when compared to what it used to be at before, this time around the risk is too much and not everyone can take such risk. I don't advise everyone to go for it, except those that has the money and knows they can.

Yes, we cannot estimate the price of bitcoin but one thing we can do we have to follow the path how the price of bitcoin is fluctuation. As long we invest in Bitcoin there is a huge chance to make a huge profit. So it is always good to wait for the long term to make a huge profit with the bitcoin.

Those who made money in bitcoin will always follow that formula, invest on bitcoin and just hold for the long term. So others might see this as impossible, but I do think that everyone here should understand that it operates in cycle. So there are years that we will see bear market, but you need to be tough and just hold and wait for the next bull run to occur and that for me its not impossible for bitcoin to achieved.

The whales are very strong these days and the bull market is dominating. Bitcoin has crossed 6500$ and it was a major resistance which is broken now. No one expected bitcoin to grow as fast as it is growing for past 2 weeks. The main question is will it stop somewhere or keep on going towards 8000$. No one is sure how high bitcoin will go in this current pumping cycle.

The market has been waiting too long for a response from the ETF's decision, this expectation has devalued all the rumors, and now they have almost no effect on the market, as I think it should be.

nothing is impossible as long as the project has a good impact on the arrival of investors, any project that will involve a cryptocurrency market will definitely have a good impact also for the increase and recovery of bitcoin prices. we can see now that this growth continues if you realize it, this growth and recovery is very visible when the rumors of ETF approvals came up in February, that means ETFs have a good impact on the cryptocurrency market

Right we will have to wait for the right time, if we will wait we will see as higher as we want the price to be, I have seen in 2017 price was more than this so for me as well there is no limit for the price of bitcoin to stop it has historical demand which will me more than this with time, so don’t underestimate the value of bitcoin it will be more than this in future we only need to wait and keep investing.

We don't yet, sounds like the bitcoin price just pump naturally , Maybe it was just a moneu flow from altcoins to bitcoin and from stable coins to bitcoins and the price of bitcoin risen.

It is natural if the price of bitcoin rises because we know bitcoin is the most volatile crypto currency and it has this quality to change the price so the same as long ago bitcoin was only 100 dollar in price but now we can see it is more than 7k in price so at that time people were considering 7k impossible the same way I would say nothing is impossible for bitcoin.

I know many will regret not buying BTC or ETH at the initial stage when market was in (bearish) trend. Today market is back and I am glad to take part and also get to understand BTC and other coin way better

I think this is all just a matter of time, professional traders know the price of bitcoin will rise sharply someday, therefore they don't panic when the price of bitcoin goes down, and for ETFs it may go well

In every pump, there is always a dump, that is because of the price correction.

Today, we witness a big price correction, some people dump to cash out and take advantage to profit, at the dump today, we also see an opportunity to buy which is the dip, and if you will not take advantage on it, you are a moron to let this pass.

Some people are really smart, even with small increase, they buy it and just take the profit but it's alright to hold as well, decisions are coming from us.
What we have to ensure is that we are all selling at a profit, pump and dump are normal in the market.

I think the dump was what happened today because people are scared price have gone very high within weeks but we don't have to panic when price starts going up again because it is yet to get to ATH.

For those that might not buy now, they could be waiting for more drop but who knows what tomorrow will be with price.

Well, that's really one of btc's characteristic. Btc is doing what we aren't expecting. Like the recent fall, who would have thought it would drop that much in an instant since we are already in bull run. Then it goes up again in an instant and we're back at $8k again. That was very quick changes and quick profit for traders.

Making impossible things possible is the best that is possible through blockchain technology. The technology has made something that people have never thought about with the innovative success through bitcoin. Now it has been getting more chances and usage on multiple needs. This is where the growth is getting to be a promised fact.

Indeed, with blockchain technology, there will be more innovations that make everything fast and easy, whereas previously it was just a delusion. So that way, I'm sure there is no longer a temporary increase, the market is always fluctuating but having high prices all the time in the future of bitcoin will come true with so much growth going well in this industry.

Well, that is why blockchain technology is here. To make what was once perceived as impossible  to be possible. I think bitcoin has already made possible what many thought ain't possible. And of course, most of the the market movement we are seeing now is temporary. The price is looking to be going up but it's all temporary. But, hey, one can tell strong movement will come.

Always there and possible to get more stronger support from newcomers, Bitcoin already shown that things is happening and successful journey ahead will make everyone to believe that it isn't impossible anymore since Bitcoin already achieved it and break the barrier in between.

I really don't understand your reply. Writing same successful stories also could consider if you do that.

Please take the perfect example and write it better. Because unwanted spamming without relevancy will be considered as spam here in this forum. Then to others, this thread has been opened to ask the suggestion upon the ETF approval and February thread. So reason to answer here unwantedly.

I guess this is the update,

SEC Delays Decision on VanEck/SolidX Filing in Latest Bitcoin ETF Setback


https://www.coindesk.com/sec-postpones-decision-on-vaneck-solidx-filing-in-latest-bitcoin-etf-setback

So obviously, as expected, it was delayed again by the SEC. I really don't understand why they need to delay their decisions. However, as crypto enthusiast are no longer hype by this news, we didn't feel any significant effect of the said news.

Most of the traders not just rely on to ETF bitcoin can be accepted by SEC but they use the opportunity when decide to buy and when decide to sell. Indeed, if ETF bitcoin be accepted then we will see its price will goes up and can touch the new ATH a few years ago. However, I tired to wait when bitcoin can be accepted and most of the news just tell to us that proposal only rejected by SEC and surely these thing will make us hopeless. It will be good we just move on from ETF because there are many news or many companies which has ready to accept bitcoin as their payment system and off course it will makes its price goes higher.

In my opinion that makes bitcoin prices rise not only the issue of ETFs being approved, but many other factors that make bitcoin rise

it will slow down and it seems like it have right now , and we will go back to some back and forth for months like it used to be.

Your opinion seems to have failed, it's not all increase that is temporal, a time is coming that people will struggle to buy bitcoin just at any given price because it would have been very expensive due to scarcity and hoarding. We are just warming up for a market take off. It's better to be better positioned.

that means it continues to fluctuate which i don't think is a problem, because the most important thing is that there is no large decline that happen and thus the increase will happen again and bullish will definitely happen and it is very possible

Did you get an information that SEC has accepted ETF bitcoin? I never heard an information like that even in a few weeks ago SEC has postponed again the application. The increasing price of bitcoin so far was because the giant of media social that is facebook opening back for crypto ads on their platform and also they has announched that their coin which is called as Global Coin will be use in 2020. I guess these information that makes bitcoin price has been increasing until now although there is still a lot of other information that makes bitcoin prices continue to rise.

That's what people want to be natural price without any confience isu ETF or something good news. When isu aren't happen price wouldn't dumping, and price keep stable. It did happen like now, Price keep move on top where aren't big news about that.

Nice thread, my goal is buy and hold

Now it best time still we have opportunity because price is good in market, so many places are there which offers bitcoin and eth at good price so it is not late, bitcoin has ability to do so many thing beyond possibilities but we should not forget the year 2017 when price of bitcoin was so higher that it made people milliners so anything is possible for Love, war and bitcoin.

yeah you can do that because you have lots of experience. Some people dont know what to do because there are lots of newbies come to crypto. They put all their money to scam projects.

  Wow this is nice supposing that all of us will think like this and after that crypto currency will make good development all over this year , so it is good time we should hold because afterward in future it will be so expensive but now is healthier opportunity for us , well now bitcoin is growing in price on a daily basis I hope till the end of the year 2019 the price of bitcoin will goes to pump more than our expectations.

For now it is very difficult to determine what happened to crypto, a lot of analysis since 2018 but nothing is right and many have missed. this year seems to be starting to progress towards an improved one, but will it continue to increase? there are still many questions, but hope this is when crypto starts to grow after there is no market certainty.

btc made an impossible once, its going to do that again  8)

                      The key to the long term economic viability of bitcoin is the massive adoption of Bitcoin as a strong fiat on its own merit.  Over 90 percent of the currency has been mined at this point, so the scalability of Bitcoin as been established.  There are billions of dollars of Bitcoin hodlers at this juncture who will not allow the price of Bitcoin to drop exponentially to zero, because they are in it for the economic picture of 10 years or more.  This stands to reason as it has taken 10 years for Bitcoin to reach it current market capatlization.  The value of Bitcoin is also further stabilized by the alternate cryptocurrencies and the resulting market capatilization which is approaching 1 trillion dollars at some point.
      It is a good rationale that the adaptation of Bitcoin and the underlying technology infrastructure of Biticoin has created a technlogical foot hold of value in the world economic picture.  It is therefore, not a false hope, that investment dollars will vault this technology based economic tool to trillions of dollars on the world stage.  This value will allow anyone to invest in piece of international trade and commerce and therby change the world.
      Bitcoin is not Santa Clause but a solid unit of value the simplifies economic transactions and essentially gives economic output a higher reward.  On the micro level it promotes saving and investment because it is not beuracratic in nature.  ON the Macro level it promoties innovation in blockchain technology the will save companies billions if not trillions of dollars.
         This technology is a win-win for individuals and companies alike and will foster expedient trade practices all across the globe.   Eventually Bitcoin technology will be a unit of value stored in a crypto vault of central banks that is stonger than a vault of gold.   This unit is valuable because everyone will adopt the technology.
      The short term key for Bitcoin is for longterm, institutional-retail ivestors to buy a share of bitcoin and hold on to it for 10 years.  This isthe key to Bitcoin value and the underlying technology.

We are all aware that increase in price of cryptocurrency is always temporary, there was never a time it was permanent, though the market is always growing little by little, cause if you check the lowest price before compared to what we have now, there is a huge difference. I don't even know how long what we are seeing now is going to be,  but we can still keep on waiting for the bull run,  that's what's I'm interested in,  I've been saving up for this bull run for a long time now and I believe this is the time. So my hodl is definitely going to pay off.

since day 1 i decided to go for cryptocurrency ang Bitcoin it has always amazed me
the way things are temporary and vulnerable and volatile should stay the same
Putting my investment on crypto is really an opportunity and i feel sorry for those who is still in doubt.
