Bitcoin Forum

For the past months I’m too depressed about my losses since I came in this market unprepared. I try not to be active but the market looks inviting me again to be more responsible for what I’ve done and to do better this time.

Bitcoin started to pump slowly, though its not enough to get back my losses but I think there’s a reason why I should stay. I know I’m not the only one here who lose money but still trying to do their best to have some profit. Thank you to this forum, i was able to rise again and this time I will believe more on the future of bitcoin! Continue to hold!

Edit: I lose almost $2000 before both in trading and in gambling, I know its quiet small for you but that’s a lot of money for me. Thanks to those who help me to survive on this one.

if you are still here it is a very good thing or action, and I also hope that bitcoin will recover again at a high price and we are waiting for it.

Don't be just so excited yet, it could drop back any time soon probably by Thursday since it's just a minor price rise. There  seems to be a major resistance at 4K. You should start getting excited when it goes 5K and above.

You are very correct on this. Bitcoin has seen failed rise attempt this year but I don't think 4k is the resistance because it had exceeded that an still plummet down wards.  Basically let all just keep our fingers crossed

Can you indicate on how much you lost? The market isn't inviting you but you just feel that the rise is starting to arrive very soon so you are starting to become enthusiastic and optimistic about it which is a very normal thing for us who have lost a lot.

I would like to congratulate you that even you have been into depressing period last time, at least we are getting some very encouraging days right now. Don't give up and keep on enduring the bad days on this market, time will come for us to celebrate.

Don’t lose hope mate, no matter how much your losses are there’s still a chance to make profit only if you continue to stay. The market pumps, but its not going to be an easy pump so better not to be more complacent this time and have some time to study and don’t make any mistakes again.

I lose almost $2000, and its really sad that time that I need to stay away from this market. Luckily i was able to surpassed that depression.

Yes, thanks for reminding me this one. I’m more confident now about my knowledge and I know how to be more patience this time.

I don't want you to lose confidence holding your coins for a long time and honestly, we are still in the bear market and I don't feel that the price can be increased more than $3,900.
Bitcoin price is too volatile and we don't know if the price can be increased more or not.

I tried to search in the google news or even here but I don't see any reasons why the price increased from $3.6k to $3.9k value so I feel that this is a bull trap.

However, if the price increase more than $4200 we can consider it as a new supported level where the price can stay at a $4k value. This is just my own speculation anytime the price movement can be changed.

Don't worry mate, everything has a beginning and an end and just like this bear market. It will also end at one time and as you emphasized all that matters is patience.

Even if you stay a thousand years in cryptocurrency when ever you make an uncalculated move in terms of investing you would always be on the losing end

Weird that you're posting it on such a lovely GREEN day. Look at the graphs, remember where you were yesterday, and I think you'll look at this situation from a positive perspective. The market is slowly recovering.

Today was a rare day when the price reached 3900$ and looks like it's still going up. But as we probably all know here is the most important moment, does it break the 4k level or not? Honestly I don't know, but my prediction is that it will and if that happens I'm expecting to see it go up to 5k or so until the end of this week.
Just as a personal recommendation, do not combine all your money in one place. You said you lost 2000$ with trading and gambling and those are two different things and you cannot relate both to bitcoin investments. Just use two bankrolls for both and then count your losses/profits from there because otherwise you will just try to do much with little and you will complicate the situation.

Hoping to go as far as 5k before this week ends, neverthless the chart is really looking good since yesterday, If the price breaks through 4k today, we might be having a little run up to 5k or the best to 6k this week.


Good advise there for using two bankrolls.

Gains since yesterday are nothing but spectacular, though I don't believe that it'll continue to break the $4000 range which has been the long-standing resistance level for a time now. I'm still expectant of what's to come in the next few days though I won't keep my hopes up as the foundation for this current run is somewhat bleak.

You're not alone in this battle. I mean, I lost huge amount, too in trading. I was so disappointed before but still giving up isn't the right answer if we wany to achieve our goals. I had learned my previous mistakes and I was aware that I was too greed and impulsive before. Bitcoin is rising, giving us to step up and give it a try again.

Finally, we got a small bonus because the bitcoin price is starting to rise again and now, the price stable at $3852. But the trend still in the up trend so I think we need to wait for a few hours and I hope the price could break $3900. But we are still far away to see the price will jump to the higher price because we need more time and more investor to buy bitcoin. Besides that, there is a red candle show up in the market, so you need to be careful.

It is too early to celebrate as you might cursing your losses again. Always put in mind that this investment is very risky as Bitcoin price is really unpredictable in which we don't know if this pump is a bullish sign or big whales trap.

Every user could be happy to get back the loss, as the market has begun to recover little by little. For those who made investment in the peak has to have patience for a much longer time period to overcome the loss. As of now it an be used as an chance to minimize the loss that has happened during the price fall to the bottom. Ethereum getting along with bitcoin gives the hope that every altcoin too is marching forward to reach big.

We rise, we fall. That's just how the world works and if you cannot contain the hardships and you might as well find someone to help you. We all have weaknesses, and it won't be shameful to ask for one. We all need the strength to continue and remember all the mistakes that you did.

Btw, $2000 is not small for me. It's a significant amount that I would be willing to work for. I try every kind of trading, and I managed to stick to one and thankfully there's Gunbot to automate it.

BTC will definitely recover mate, it's nice to trade when the price is bullish so you can come back anymore.
The amount you loss is also big for me, I guess we have the same range but I don't loss that amount in trading since I prefer to hold at bad times.

Coming to market unpreparepd is one thing, gambling is the other thing.
I mean, second thing is curable, for first thing you just need patience. Either bitcoin will be worth $0 or you will regain your money in time so worry not.
Dont try to get your losses back through gambling, its not possible.

If the market has recovered, you can go back and start again maybe with a better strategy. Everyone has suffered losses here, it's just that they arent excessive. Valuable experience for us for the next phase

That's a lot for me too since I am not based in developed country but somewhere in Asia where earnings and standard of living is lower compared to many rich countries. I sympathize with the things you experienced here in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency sphere and I am sure that slowly you can recover because you already learned the many big lessons in dealing with this exciting but very volatile marketplace. I am sure that the future belongs to Bitcoin but the road to get there is not always paved and can be rough and tough at times...we just have to get the clear vision and the right strategies to get there. Good luck on your endeavors.

I don't suggest you to do gambling. And I also don't love gambling because of high risk. If you lose in bitcoin for selling fast then you should wait for again fall of bitcoin. Anytime it can go your buying zone again. So be cool and keep patience.
Don't be greedy for recovering lose in quickly. So give a time for thinking to your brain before buying any coin. Don't take a decision quickly without any investigation. Keep in mind that the more you be cool the more you earn in trading. Thanks

Ok, you mentioned 2 things - Trading losses and Gambling. Now, we can have sympathy for the trading losses, because the price dropped with more than 80% and nobody has control over that, but the gambling losses has nothing to do with the technology and the price of bitcoins.

The gambling losses are on you, not the technology.  :(   I sincerely hope that the price would recover to give other people the opportunity to make some profits, like most of us had done in 2017.  ;)

this is your main problem. you entered a market and you have no idea what is going on. you think bitcoin is a pump and dump so you are confused about the movements in either direction and then act irrationally and the result is losing money.

sorry to tell you this but you didn't lose money in trading. you lost all of it in gambling. what you think you are doing is not "trading" otherwise you wouldn't have started this topic.

my suggestion is to stop thinking about your loss and stop being sad about it. instead start looking at your actions that you have taken so far and try to analyze them to see where your mistakes were. that way you can learn from them and become more experienced and stop making them again.

In the world of investment we all need patience because with that we can make the best decisions possible.
Opportunities for rising Bitcoin prices are indeed very high because I pay attention to market movements over the past 24 years that are so positive.
keep looking at the situation and make the best decisions possible.

yes the price of bitcoin is now starting to rise even though slowly, we cannot predict whether it will continue to increase or even decline again. but I told you, don't be disappointed when the bitcoin prices decline again. because I see you are so excited to see new prices rise only a few percent.

Bitcoin is always hace a chance to rise no matter what. Bitcoin price spikes last year so this is the right time. Someone posted before that on 2019 Bitcoin will rise after experiencing a low price on the last year of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 but between February to September price will rise that's predicted by many people in this community.

Loosing money in every investment will always be loosing and how big or small the amount are is not important. But, the good part is that you dont quit and ready to correct your mistake. However, the most important thing which will determine your success in all crypto investment is knowing the all basic rules and regulation of the investment you want to partake in first.

I will advice you to understand crypto trading and gambling every well because they are easy means of making money and they also easy means of loosing money either.

Don't be too depressed about it because there are also investors who are experiencing what you are experiencing right now. I got some losses to in crypto but since I got some rewards from some campaigns here, it covered my losses.

I don't see any reason why Bitcoin pumped right now. Maybe a little pump and dump?? Anyway, this is a good opportunity to get profit for those short term traders out there. I'm just holding Bitcoin at this moment although I got some funds for trading.

Yesterday we saw pretty fast price rise which was a good opportunity for day traders to make some profit. But today it looks like this is not continuing so we might conclude it was just temporary small pump that we have already seen couple of times recently.
But yet this isn't constant rise and recovery process so let's not be too excited too soon. In the meantime you have to accept that Bitcoin is volatile and that both profit and loss are part of Bitcoin investment.

You just have to HODL. Bitcoin will rise - it is a matter of time only.
I believe as we see lots of other crypto/blockchain projects fail for many reasons, Bitcoin will remain the true digital store of value.
Reasons projects will fail/lose include:
- poor management/governance  -- this also means that the project might be too centralized --   
- poor use cases
- bad architectural decisions that can't be fixed without lots of hard forks
- not really decentralized
- bad incentives / design (poor tokenomics)
- not enough community support
If a crypto/blockchain doesn't get all of these issues right, it will not succeed.

good positive attitude!

it will take time, maybe years but I too am confident and positive
for the future of Bitcoin, it has too much positive points to abandon
it to back fully to FIAT.

$2000 is a lot for me too and I suspect for a lot of people on the
forum so hopefully you will look back and feel better when Bitcoin
does deliver for you.

You did not give some details:

- What price did you buy?

- When did you buy?


doing better would mean doing day trade, and to do day trade you should have a lot of knowledge of the market and must prepare psychologically


This is the only option you have.



gambling?

forget gambling.

By holding did you make right decision or not, it is your own choice. But, if you lost with holding, why did not you try another way? Maybe you could win twice as much as you lost with short time trade.
You should not include what you lost in Gambling, between them there are huge difference.

Sorry to hear that you have losed money on gambling and trading. I am not fan of gamble and as far as I know it can't be recover if you loss on gamble. About bitcoin investment you need strong heart. Weak heart can't gain easily. You can see bitcoin records somehow and someday it would be recovered. Same as other coin also because all altcoins follow  bitcoin's trends. That's why you need patience, without patience you will not able to gain on crypto-currency especially on trading.

Yes it's seems bitcoin price raising very well recently. I think its happen due to few positive news around markets.  However we expect that we can see few major move within few months if in case approved ETF. But ETF is very confused word.

I wouldn't want to get into a debate on speculation of the price of bitcoin. Most people who make predictions about price are usually wrong a lot of the time. Nobody can consistently predict where prices will go.

In terms of the OP having made a small lose and being disillusioned that's understandable but it also shows some naivity as regards how crypto, and even investing in general, really works. One should always be prepared for things going down as well as up.

If I were the OP I would not worry to much about the price at any given time. These things tend to be best viewed as part of a long term strategy. Bitcoin might be $4k now but just a few weeks ago was valued at $3.2k, so it's still shown an increase of over 20% in a relatively short space of time.

The main thing is not to get to worked up about short term fluctuations, unless you are a short term/ day trader where the opposite is true. But I don't believe the OP falls into this category.

There's something to say here,holding,trading,investment all of these things are now up to you.If you buy bitcoin with a higher price,so you can hold now.because we do not want loss our money anytime.Can not always be expected of profits and must have to be vulnerable to take a little punishment.

all there are calculations, we invest bitcoin for sure with a reason. the difference is that we buy it when it's cheap or high. the increase in bitcoin prices at the moment is a good thing, the market is again experiencing a positive injection. I am optimistic this can continue to increase and we will get a good result when we can hold bitcoin.

Btc has started to climb up and this could just be the right beginning for the year and might go very strong in coming time. This was always on the card only the matter of time and some positive news that could just speed up the boost to the prices and growth.

We are getting excited for the coming days and it is quite to see the market on the way for its huge recovery.  We are too long at dips and maybe this the time we all patiently waiting for but we should not think for instant rising and it is better to see in slow motion.
We all positive to its upcoming bull run but it simply goes for a certain trials which could test us our faith and trust with crypto.

I'm so sorry about your loss but I would suggest you do not dwell too long on mourning the loss.
When you dwell too much on your past mistakes or loss, the likely hood of you missing out on other opportunities is high.
So pick up yourself and move on.
Try using small money if you have to start trading again ...you could recover your loss.
Although it may not be so quickly but I believe with the right mentality, you would recover.
Thanks.

I prefer to see small increase than a quicker one which will be bounce with a bigger dumped after, maybe the start of reversal is coming near
as halving next year will be expected, knowing that there's an impact with the entire market and investors who knew that are accumulating already
making sure that chances will not be missed out.

Not to exited but full of hope, this trend might be a good sign for us.

If you quit you will lose but if you continue then it's time for you to make things right. Everyone who gets in gambling and trading is unprepared they have to make their way to the top no matter what the circumstances they face. And because you are here now then make an investment for yourself to not let those losses happen to you again without making a come back.

Those traders who have weak hands are now getting confidence to their selves because the market is now recovering. Their hope and faith is now increasing again due to the continuing recover of the cryptocurrency market. We experienced many losses last year ago, I am sure that we can get opportunities to regain the losses that we experienced.

Its great to see you back mate!. Yes, its good to rest for a while because this market is really tiring but dont forget to comeback after you regain your self confidence again. Remember that all of us experience losses but not all surrender from it. You can earn that again here.

There is definitely a chance for bitcoin to rise. BTC has fallen hard this time and it will surely take a good amount of time for it to recover.
BTC has fallen this hard in the past too but this doesn't mean that we should loose the hope. Although it had fell hard, it did recover quickly.
I hope bitcoin will recover similarly this year too and from the recent gain I can say that BTC will soon recover the price.

Hey! Thats the spirit my friend!  ;D


Keep your head up, and seriously - You learned a valuable lesson in cryptocurrencies that only cost you $2k!

You will always do better next time after failing. Trust me, I tell everyone interested in investing in crypto to take $100 and just lose it!
Seriously. Lose it!

That $100 loss will teach you how to "Not loose" $10k!   -This market isn't as easy as it might look.  ;)

You should recall the mistakes that you made, you invested in trading and gambling even though you do not have enough knowledge and it is the reason why you lose. You can survive in this bear market if you will use the information that you got from your past mistakes.

There is still a chance that the price of bitcoin will rise again so we need to hold our bitcoin and keep on hoping and praying that somewhere in this year the price of bitcoin will rise. Maybe we need to wait more time but we should not lose our hope and support in bitcoin because only our support will help to rise the price of bitcoin in market.

This can't go on forever. Someday Bitcoin will grow again and make ToTheMoon. I hope he just needs to catch his breath after ToTheMoon 2017. In the end, after ToTheMoon 2014 was the same: Bitcoin year lay at the bottom (2015), but then greatly increased in price (2016-1017).

Why are you depressed if $2000 is quite a small money? Stuff like risk taking don't worry wealthy people.

You are probably a new trader who didnt learn trading properly or atall. Someone with lots of money have no reason not to make good consistent profit in this market.

It's so easy for people to repeatedly say lets just keep the faith but not everyone is financially capable of holding their money for a long time. Some people that sold at a loss had no other choice but to sell since they'd probably need their capital, or what's left of it, back. Bitcoin will eventually get back up but only those who took time to understand the market will likely benefit from it.

The beginning of year 2019 has been a good one for crypto community. Bitcoin has the chance to rise because of the good news coming inn just few days ago.

Does this has anything to do with the JP Morgan's coin? just curios about what tend to Bitcoin rise. Is bitcoin rise associated with the reply John McAfee replied JP morgan?
Then what does you think is associated with this rise?

Opinion are highly welcome!!.

Sorry for your lost mate but don't give up. The market starts to look good again and this time you might recover your losses, it may not be an instant but at least you see some good and positive moves again.

Your not just lucky that you were able to surpass that depression but man, you are strong. I know on how serious depression is and if you don't mind, can you tell us how are you able to surpass it? what did you do?

That's a lot of money and losing that one is not easy. Maybe you bought during the peak, but its ok the market will go on that level again but it will took more time. If you sold already, try to accumulate more right now because its more cheaper and you can take back that money very soon.

Unfortunately this is the nature of the crypto market.
You have high of highs and the low of lows.
Nobody knows which from day to day what we will see at the end of it.
Cause right now the crypto market has slipped and it is down by about $100 from what it was this morning.
So not quite sticking to the $4000 price everybody is wanting it to break past and go forward.

Indeed    . easy to say and give nice advice to others but when you are already facing the situation , you will say to yourself that its really not easy to hodl for a long time especially if you are poor and lacking of cash from time to time  .  

Not only hodling but also when buying  . its pretty easy to say that buy low when the market is dip but how can we do that when we dont have a cash at often times ?  

Sigh !

In my opinion, bitcoin is now trying to regain it's original price from 100 thousand and higher. For me, once you invested on bitcoin, the loss of your investments are still there and never fade but of course, remember that once bitcoin starts to lose value, bitcoin will have a comeback to its price and can make your investments grow and if possible it can be doubled.

The answer is no one know. We can only see in the market, and I am sure that bitcoin will grow up in this month although it's not too big. When the time comes, the bitcoin price will surely increase, and we can make a big profit again. I think you don't have just to wait for bitcoin price to go up, but you need to buy and sell now especially if you have skills because you don't want to miss a chance to make a profit from the up and down of the price.

Don't lose hope there's always an opportunity for bitcoin to rise considering more and more companies and merchant are accepting bitcoin as an option for payment the demand for bitcoin are increasing too. Lets all be patience and wait for the right time for bitcoin to recover.

You didnt actually lose it until you sell it. Of course right now youre still holding of some btc you purchased right? Hold it until or more than the price you purchased it. I think wait for a little while there's a reason why btc and eth pushing up for the past few days.

Well, IMO it's happen at the moment.

Bitcoin reach the lowest bottom nowadays and start to climb up. With current value , the demand still consider high !
I still make a great choice for not sell all of my bits because I believe on crypto not just in this year but few years ahead !

Don't worry we all will have our time for bitcoin to rise. First consideration that I could think that it is possible is the utility of bitcoin. People are aware of it, only a bit afraid to gamble when they saw that bitcoin was going down, but as time goes by it will certainly go back to its usual price and may be even more than that. So may be you can at least keep some strength and give it a bit of patience.

You lost money coz of trading alts or are you saying this coz the current value of your bitcoins is lower than what you bought it for? What was the exchange rate when you entered btw? With bitcoins you are better off just riding the troughs and hodling. One can never be certain when there'll be a return on investment which is why you only use spare money.

I hope the price increases slowly, the problem of " ToTheMoon " Is that the price increases a lot in a manipulated way and falls again, something like a pump and dump. The year 2017 was a great example of the consequences of pump and dump ... I see some interesting news:

Japan Could Break the Mold by Approving the First-Ever Crypto Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) (https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/japan-could-break-the-mold-by-approving-the-first-ever-crypto-exchange-traded-funds-etfs/)

SEC Set to Begin Fresh Consultation Period on CBOE-VanEck Bitcoin ETF (https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-set-to-begin-fresh-consultation-period-on-cboe-vaneck-bitcoin-etf)

in a few years, we will see a market with little chance of being manipulated and things like pump and dump will be fought by regulators

Bitcoin has always the capacity to rise again after the huge dip. I see that the bitcoin is becoming more amazing  and many more people believe on it after ail. I think we need to be patience because the price of it is now slowly rising. We needbti hold maybe a few weeks from now.

It's my ideas can never be rich soon,so it's are not exceptions for bitcoin.It is the easiest to accept it and you have to spend a lot of time,then you can get a good profit from Bitcoin.
I'm sorry for that You're in a lot of losses now.But you can give bitcoin to some more time.Then maybe something good could be found.

Ya, not everyone can just continually hold while they have bills to pay.  The thing is once you are a millionaire the extra money doesn't really matter and at that points life is like a video game score and the money represents points.

Bitcoin is indeed not passionate but also does not cause bitcoin to sink, I strongly agree with your opinion that we all must have very high trust in the future of bitcoin. do not doubt the existence of the future of bitcoin. if for a moment we want to see the beginning of bitcoin not too bad for now. So why should we be apathetic and tend to panic about bitcoin, obviously bitcoin won't die. He already has his own market in crypto.
Today I see that prices are very stable and need not hesitate to invest in them. in trading there will definitely be when going down and there is time to go up again. I believe that in the next few months until the end of 2019, the heyday of bitcoin will return to 2017 and may even exceed. we must be optimistic about this because we have struggled with bitcoin and are worthy to push better

Dear, we are all alike in our stories
I lost more than 95% of my capital but
I have not lost hope and I will not sell at a loss
I stayed here to learn from the most experienced  guys, so I was sure 
the future we would build it.

You haven't lost anything unless you sell your coins you had for cheaper. Remember, the price has fallen but you still have the same amount of coins. So, keep holding it until you reach your desired goal. Or sell it out before it starts to crash completely and buy more during the dip. You still have chances to make enough profit.
And yeah, two grands is a lot for most of the people. If you lost those mainly due to gambling, then make sure you do not repeat the same mistake (that is gamble away your money) again. I know its easy to say, but hard to do.. But you still got to do it.

Wow! sorry for your loss. It is indeed a big loss but good thing is that you are not losing hope and besides, sometimes before we learn we lose first and from that experience we are learning. Any way you are not the only one, I also have a friend who lose a lot in bitcoin because of wrong timing and lack of preparedness and knowledge too I think, this time he is not saying he will leave bitcoin forever but he is trying to start all over again too. Well, goodluck to your next journey in cryptocurrency.

Welcome back to being active again! you should continue believing in bitcoin, this drop of price is quite normal, as it already happened before, so you shouldn't give up and try to recover your lost money from gambling and trading. I'm sure that bitcoin price will increase sooner or later because the community didn't give up on that, and there are a thousands of people are joining this community from different countries around the world, which it will help bitcoin to be more powerful and to increase again.

I think most people have tried to lost money on crypto, 2000 dollars are a huge amount for everyone. We all lost money in 2018, unless you was in fiat.
It seems like bitcoins meet a heavy resistens around $4.000 but the resistens will over time, hopefully really fast be beaten. I'm really bullish long term on Bitcoins. Just hold bitcoins in your own private wallet, will  over time be the best trade you can do.

 Nevertheless, as long as you don't lose heart there is still hope for you and I believe this time you will be more careful in your every move. Do not easily believe and get excited of the little change you see in the market graph, it can change any moment. I don't believe in gambling as a source of profit so maybe you better minimize gambling activities for it could lead you to a more bigger loss.

Don't let the little increase in the price of Bitcoin fool you into trading without taking a second look at the current market trends of Bitcoin trading charts. It is quite sad you lost $2000, but don't make the mistakes you did to cause your lost. Bitcoin trading is all about how well you know and understand the market trends and studying the trading charts. The trading charts will help you draw a possible range which will help you know when to buy or sell and at what price to sell or buy. Bitcoin is here to stay forever, you just have to be smart and observant. ;) ;)

I also see that there is a chance for Bitcoin to rise again, we can see it based on a cycle that was formed in the past, the cycle is always repeated. Apart from this, bitcoin will also rise again because the decisions taken by the ETF will certainly increase investors' trust in bitcoin so they are interested in returning to investing in bitcoim and of course according to the law of supply and demand it will move prices.

Don't lose hope there are a lot of chances to make profits in crypto, for now the price maybe in deep correction and we are in a long bearish market but once the market is healed we will see a stable rising, previously a lot of people in deep lost when the correction happen but now the price is almost at bottom, so it could be a good indicators to buy and aim for long term profit

If you want to earn more then learning and having more patience is the key. You’ve lose a lot of money, its not easy to recover that if you don’t take risk again, so I think you have to start over again and think for the mistakes that you’ve done before and use it as your learning guide. The market will recover again, wait for that while you are investing.

Yes, keeping hope in yourself is a great spirit. Open your eyes and ears when we are down, there are still many ways to take back what has been lost before if indeed we still have the spirit to rise. The bearish market will not be an obstacle for us to gain profit, make the most of the moment and when the price touches the lowest level it is our chance to buy and hold it for the long term, the market still has good potential in the future, besides the supply of bitcoin is still available which is certain that there will be demand which will make the value will still increase.

if we are careful in buying and always following the increase in bitcoin prices from time to time maybe we can still get a profit. always optimistic and advanced thinking may make us more resilient in dealing with price increases. small increases can still make us profitable, so we always trade.

I pretty doubt we have finally left the bear zone. Let's keep watch if this recovery signal could be sustain for weeks, before we can comfortably rejoice. After making huge losses in bitcoin and altcoins, I had to be open to new knowledge, as bitcoin goes beyond just holding and trading. It's a class of it own financial technology.

Agreed, by the same time there is more interesting predictions as well. One of which that gives hope is Tim's interview stating that everyone by 2023 can buy a cup of coffee with bitcoin. Such a level of adoption is predicted to happen, if that's achieved surely we'll have a big growth in the value of bitcoin.

  patience is a virtue mate just keep believing and don't ever rely on others ,which is pursue yourself to keep holding because indeed there's no other way to exit on this kind of business especially if you have massive losses. .Don't become hopeless because everything is temporary.  And this happening now in the market is big chance for us at least to regain our losses or to fully recovered.  Just put more patience

Just keep holding on and get more if you still can.
BITCOIN sent the message before that it can get more value in the market, as long as people give the demand.
Now we are seeing another window of the bulls running, for those who stay and keep on harvesting then this is a good sign.
I am one of the people who believe that bitcoin will gain the price once again.

Bitcoin will definitely rise but the time is not ripe So holding might be a good idea hence the price for now isn't that big of a deal. Making yourself involve in btc while it's still has an affordable price and just wait for it to grow after some time in the future. I don't know when will Bitcoin will last so let's Cherish this time.

in my opinion $ 2000 is a huge value. but you are right. today in the crypto world, not only you get the loss. but many whales are weak and depressed when they see a bearish market. in general the strategy to return profits is to patiently wait for the bullish market. and I don't know when the bullish market will control the market. but now I see the market starting to create a bullish market slowly.

I think this is a good time for us to taking a profit from bitcoin because the price can increase more than $3900 while we don't know if the price could still increase or get down. But the trend is on a good way to increase, and I think we can hope that at the weekend, the price will increase higher. But there is always a chance to see bitcoin will getting down and we need always to check the situation at the market. If we can know the time for bitcoin price wants to go up or down, we can make some strategy to buy more or sell.

All the indicators that I have are pointed uptrend and I think it’s going to continue all the way. Just expect that there would always be high volatility and we need to be sure with what we are going to risk, whether it’s a high percentage of your portfolio or not, you should be prepared. I think it’s better to automate your trading though, so you would be emotionless and let the indicators work for you, just like in Gunbot.

You are not alone in this unexpected mishap. Many came into the market just when it was so much alive and invested excitedly and pompously. Now, many ended up crying and quitting with heavy losses. But looking at all the progress and developments of crypto, as well as how many nations embrace it nowadays, I think, that's enough reason to hold on to it. As early adopters, this gives us the advantage to succeed. It doesn't matter if the price doesn't pump dramatically just like what happened last 2017, which, as we have seen, is not healthy for the market. What matters is little by little, it's accomplishing something, and this will drive its price to stability. At least, we know that crypto is heading some good directions.

Better to wait than to be more aggressive cause everything goes into the absolute market change and we can't push the prices to move faster as of what we wanted. All of us were hoping and also many have patiently waiting for possible bull runs but seeing the market today, we should extend our patience a little bit longer since we fall again.

My estimate of bitcoin this year will reach $ 5,000, because the belief that bitcoin will become a digital currency is very attractive for people to invest and hope to get big profits.
Bitcoin has reached a decade, which means that it has passed strong winds and negative problems that aim to damage the image of Bitcoin, so that more countries will ban bitcoin.
It turns out that everything can be skipped and now has a price range of USD 3,660 which means that fundamentally bitcoin is solid.

Bitcoin indeed overcome some negativity problems this year which the reason why JP Morgan issued their own coin, Indian having a blockchain summit and IMF Boss advising Central Banks to issue their own crypto currency. With the ETF news and the which is so strong at the $3200-$3600 price range my estimate price for this year will be $7000.

Having more patience in this field is our key to succeed in the future, im about to give up too lately, because i only see is drops/downtrend, so i also decide to leave my assets mostly bitcoin in my portfolio, and never look it back until 6 months, and now im still hoping that bitcoin will rise again and get my lost back.

I also assume that in the near future, the price of bitcoin will rise again. so much good news for now. seeing stable bitcoin prices at current prices is already very good. maybe the decline that occurred in the past few years makes us think that the price of bitcoin will decline again. however, this year shows a different thing.

It is always positive to keep the hope that things can improve, but the nature of the markets is like this: continuous lateral movements that tend to turn into bulltraps for the overly optimistic, so it is always advisable to remain cautious in the face of these sudden moves of the market, especially when there do not seem to be suitable conditions to support them.

Bitcoin has really a big chance to rise up high in the near future, I believe that the continuose growth of the bitcoin community and the used to the new technologies, or maybe internet and its modernization will lead the bitcoin to be more amazing in the near future, many investors will come and get coins for good.

Hopefully we have a bull market soon,it will help all those still in the space to recuperate some lost investments, a good sign is the fact that trading volume for bitcoin has improved in the last couple of day and a lot of infrastructure for a wider crypto-adoption are being developed.

That was just a random pump. We have seen Bitcoin at 4200 USD in the first half of January 2019, and then again it went to 3400 USD. Now this time, BTC price again started pumping and the price will surely drop! So, don't be excited about a high pump, just try to be used to with this trend. And don't lose your hope! Soon or later, your losses will be recovered I assume.

I don't call it a loss if you're still holding the same coins after the price has decreased. Apparently, it is no loss because you have not sold them. Selling them for cheap price is what yield the losses but if you're able to hold patiently irrespective of how down the price may go, the coin will rise again and even set another ground-breaking price record - the benefit of patience and holding in crypto.

But he can see the profit vs loss ratio on trading platform. This is illogical to accept financial asset as still valuable like in first day after seeing loss percentage. Hodlers always look for potential coins for longer term investing and patience is key for reaching the aimed goal.

We'll sure this year will be a bitcoin rise, but before that happen..
Right now there are many altcoin rising more than 100%, the trader and investors making the bitcoin price quite stable and take profits from altcoins first before they take a big invesments on bitcoin.

You are not the only one in this fight. That is to say, I lost immense sum, also in exchanging. I was so frustrated before yet at the same time surrendering isn't the correct answer on the off chance that we wany to accomplish our objectives. I had taken in my past oversights and I knew that I was excessively eagerness and indiscreet previously. Bitcoin is rising, offering us to venture up out it an attempt once more.

I have noticed that there are very good hopes in the price of bitcoin, it all depends on the amount of purchases made by Strong Hands, even as I see the market, in my own judgment it takes more time for us to have a good rally, as there is still a lot of floating offer, the price rises with volume, one of the principles of Effort-Result Law that Wyckoff speaks, we have to hope that at least we will return to the beautiful range of 6k to enter the accumulation stage.

$2k is not that small amount which could be lost without hesitation. I agree with you that a majority of peoples purchased bitcoins when they were on the peak and as compared now, the price for bitcoins is comparatively much lower than the mid 2017 which itself is creating a lot of peoples to exit bitcoins but in any situation you should always wait for the future to see if bitcoins could really go much more higher than it was in the mid 2017 so that you can sell your coins than to cover your loss with profits. Bitcoins have started showing growth and as soon as some more big whales fill their pockets fastly, the price for bitcoins will go onto the peak.

Bitcoin value has increased twice in 2019 and there are chances that it will rise by mid-2019.
I believe that bitcoin fall down is just temporary. It shows fluctuations just like any other crypto but it will soon turn around with a surprise.
 Many people are waiting for bitcoin rise so don't worry and have faith.

Sluggish? We saw some good gains this week with bitcoin about to touch 4k USD before the bears brought it down to 3.9k USD once again. Still we have broken the 3.6k range and now advancing forward again. Does these movements mean nothing to you? Well thats strange because several traders out there are cashing in and out by these advances and reworking their positions for better profits. What else do you wish to do with the market? Draw more charts and keep speculating?

Not sure what you are trying to point out by this vague comment. Maybe put some more insight in your posts? :D

Right now bitcoin has taken the chance and begun to move forward crossing $4200. Right now small price fluctuation has happened taking the price down to $4150. This growth will continue with more potential investors getting into the market. This isn't termed a bull, but the chance was well used to cross the $4000 barrier.

Well you should not wait for a HIgh recovery again instead be contented in this kind of movement,now we are sitting at $4.100 and this is good enough reason to be thankful and celebrate all that who bought at $3,300 are now in profit of atleast 800 in just a couple of weeks.we must not become a greedy person if we dont wann lose bigger in trading

You should learned from your past mistakes, you experience many losses because you are not prepared to the unexpected situations that you faced. Now you know how risky to make investment in the cryptocurrency market. You can regain your losses if you will use the information that you got. You should not also lose your faith to bitcoin because for sure that the bitcoin will rise again.

I agree with you, that we should learn from our past mistakes because it will help us to did not try again the situation that make us loss and it will help us to enhance our strategies that would surely help us to earn a huge profit in the future. Don't give up as we are in the early adoption of bitcoin that would possibly recognize as a payment method all over the world in the near future that could increase its demand and value in the market.

IT really back soon once we fully give our support crypto instead of spreading FUDs and fake news. It is not just to rally for $6k but it could be more. Though we can't expect instant play and to have assurance but making a way of staying positive and optimistic person will boost our trust into crypto.
We just be patient and never been affected of what ever we heard.

Yeah that's is truly right mate do not expect more for the small price hike of bitcoin because the result of the excitement expectation are disappointment, just hold and relax wait for the good signals for bull run trend of the coinmarketcap.

Yes, even though they suffer losses but still survive, it will be an opportunity to recover losses. For me the crypto market rotates like a wheel, which can go down and recover, so don't lose hope because there are still opportunities for better results.

It’s good your story has changed which is a sign that you will definitely make it with consistency and determination. Everyone has lost money through one way or the other in this crypto journey but through believe , determination and consistent learning many turned their table to great profit from loses. It’s all about patience majorly for everyone who believes , he will need to be patient to enjoy the profit in this space. The market will rise and only the patients will enjoy it.

I don't,iknow go long bitcoin will stats. Because billioners controled the price and we don't know how long will price pump.

Bitcoin has the chance to soar high this year because of it good start at the beginning of the year 2019. Expectations are very high for Bitcoin enthusiasts for the year and the chances are good and must come to past.

Bitcoin will definitely recover its price, don't worry and still believe that someday you will benefit through Bitcoin. Stay patient in waiting, and in time will surely reap exciting results. Not always the price will go down, and there is always price movement. For that, don't give up, because Bitcoin still has considerable power and the price will definitely rise again.

Good thing you didn’t dare to quit. The main thing is to watch the trends to change cryptocurrencies and invest. But now more consciously, you still have to wait and study the whole subject very well.

First rule while investing in bitcoin is to only investment that much money that you are prepared to lose and not worry about but sad you lost that much of money. But don't get hyped up you never know when the prices start dropping again so keep an eye on the current trends.

A good advice,on point.You just needs to have patience now there are huge support on the 4k mark so we have a highchance of bitcoin not going to drop its price below 4k

Sometimes staying and holding is the last choice when we see a risk that will come to us. In investment everything can happen, because price movements are always changing every time, for that we must be able to see the situation well and be able to take the opportunity in the right time so that we can avoid the risk of loss. Always be patient and able to control emotions and determine the right choice when to sell and buy and when to keep holding, so we can always profit from Bitcoin investment.

You might want to forget the current market for now and keep lurking on this forum so you would know a lot of ways how to earn Bitcoin even without investing, if you are a skilled one then its a plus. Just always think positive because these modern technologies are just preparing before the mass adoption in the next coming years.

Yes that's true as we have seen too many temporary pumps which are not even more than $500 but users go crazy and starts investing like there is no tomorrow and then again sell it out even for minor dump thus causing more damage. People need to understand we can call it a pump only if the value of bitcoin stays above $5000 for over 3 to 4 weeks. We cannot judge the market by just the pump or dump or few hundred dollars for couple of days time.

I wish every investor in bitcoin thinks this way because this will eliminate the panic selling of the bitcoins and altcoins prematurely by the confused users who hurry up in buying and does the same mistake while selling as well. We need a clear mindset and a plan of action about the market trend like if there is a drop then until when we can hold on without withdrawal awaiting for a rise and in case of pump we need similar plan about cashout. It's better to have a glance everyday about crypto news and market trend atleast at coinmarketcap.

I agree with you and for me, some of us are already expecting about the bull run because of they have seen that there's a positive change in the market price. We all know that the market is volatile and not stable,  so we should always keep thinking positive, don't lose hope and only invest what you can afford to lose.

2k usd is not small . you must be fortunate enough to come up with a big capital like that   . for us who are only an average  person max capital that we can get is only around 100 to 200 usd  . but anyways  i see that you are now recovering from your bad start  .  the bad experience that you achieve can be used to improve your skills more  . goodluck  

One more thing that id like to add   . next time avoid gambling big amounts because gambling is too risky . prioritize trading/investing first  . 

I think today, the price of bitcoin and altcoin has decreased considerably. when the price of bitcoin reaches $ 4200, that is a good thing, and of course raises new hopes. however, I think now the price is back to normal. well, i guess this month the price of bitcoin has been trying very well to go up. I just hope that next month the bitcoin price will be really stable at the price of $ 4000.

Good to see you are back. But really sorry for loosing such a huge amount. We do have lots of ways here in this forum to earn back the lost amount. Just need to stick with it consistantly instead of going out when the market is dry and coming back when you feel ok. Crypto's nature is its fluctuation. Hence study the market and about crypto currencies' move. This will help you find ways to earn more money here.

Never invest your money unprepared or without studying the market, be it any market and that is the best advice anyone can give you.


Even if you loose a single penny it is an amount you earned and you can decide for yourself what you do with that. If you think that it is not a small amount then why gambling with it, so you understood the risk you are taking either when it comes to trading or gambling. I suggest you to invest in the long term be it in bitcoin or any potential penny coins or tokens in the top list depending on your budget.

I am always positive thinker when it comes to the rise of the Bitcoin in the market. Even the crypto market goes really deep in the past few days, I still have my hopes high enough to keep encourage myself to be goes it to the moon again in the future. I always thought Bitcoin have a chance to rise up again and bring the crypto community prosperity.

Large whales will never be happy with just 500$ er btc as those have the huge visions and have seen btc moving till 18k. So their anticipation will also be that it should be reaching as high as possible because this will give them the maximum profits . So btc will continue to rise.

Bitcoin is pumping that is right but i dont think that it can reach high value just like what it reached last year. It so dumped right now that makes so many ICO to hold on and waiting for the market to rise again. Holding is the important thing for us to help.

You are doing a great job on facing all the testing times in this market. Gambling won't really do good and you should stick to trading because if ever you succeed on your trades, there's going to be a point where you will be tempted to try it again to test your luck until you realized that you have gambled all you winnings until you lose in the end.

It is also already a big amount for me and it is really quite inviting because of bitcoin value is slowly rising and I believe it will rise more in the near future and hopefully this year would be a great year again for bitcoin and for all of us who still holds their coins patiently.

I think, Bitcoin waiting a good news. But its good start for bitcoin when the price reach $4100 again after several months drop below $3600. If bitcoin price can reach $4500 again, i think the price can recover again

Now it's trading below 4K, hope the bulls emerge again. We've been in the bear market for too long.

What you experience, many people who have experienced it are also including me
the right choice is to wait patiently and stay optimistic because your hopes and dreams will one day come true depending on how strong you are dealing with it, I also have bitcoin when prices are high and I hope prices will continue to rise and what happens is that bitcoin falls very dramatic.
Regret is not an option but must change the way of thinking is good and I let it happen and continue to hold it until bitcoin rises again above the price I bought before even though I had to wait long and I decided to invest in the long term.

There is a huge chance for the Bitcoin to rise. The Bitcoin has so many chances because it is still kicking, running in the crypto community. No one knows what the future holds, so even the crypto market is like this dip, bitcoin remains have a huge chance to rise up again.

Year 2019 has the chances for Bitcoin to soar higher than the previous years because of it beginning, as we all noticed. Having Bitcoin halving ahead, the possibility of the price to rise are very visible and the process has just began. Weeks back the price of Bitcoin rose and few days after the rise it goes down and probably the bull run will stop along the rise and fall in it price. 

The world of Bitcoin is full of uncertainties however I still strongly believe that it has so much potential to rise and recover from crash. With each passing day its demand keeps on increasing, there will be more developments, and it will generate huge returns at the course of time. Price correction is never surprising if you are aware of Bitcoin's real nature. This is part of success, never give up, trust its potential and be patient.

damn $2000 is a big money for me, it can paid my bill, and buy some food for 1 years in my country. i think you can joini the trading again, but you wouldn't greedy, because if you greedy it will makes you loss your money, if you geet enough profit just sell your asset

Trading is always so tough, you can loose here money if you don't have more experience on it .On the other hand its always a a good earning way you can earn a huge amount of money if you are good trader .I don't try to earn from gambling it's so risky .You must need to depend on your Luck nothing to learn .

No, for me its a huge amount you have been losses . However you have learnt many thing from this losses try to learn trading i think you can recover this amount quickly.

..that's the essence of life..you wins but sometimes you fall..just like the price of Bitcoin,,it arises but suddenly pump down because the rise and fall of bitcoin price in the crypto market is unevitable and no one can control it..it is nice to hear that you are here in this forum trying to overcome and rise from your big loss..lossing  $2000 is big enough so i hope that this will serve as lesson for you that playing in gambling is hard not unless you are have all the luck in it..trading is somewhat dangerous and uneasy so make sure that you are aware that the money you spend are those money's that you are afford to lose..

It's still open door for bitcoin to rise back, there's a lots of promising news that will lead many investors to see the opportunities and invest,
right now we are experiencing reverse market coming from small jumped and back down again, holders who understand the risk will benefits
after,  stuy trading much deeper and forget about gambling, focus your minds with trading to have a bigger chance of success.

Bitcoin will rise again but we don't know if when. Lucky those who still believe in bitcoin and keep trying to gain profit in crypto industry, I still believed that bitcoin will have a bull run again and I assume that this year it would be the another best year for crypto industry.

Almost everyone who trades experiences things like you, immersed capital, say when the price of Bitcoin rises in 2017, and continues to decline until now, but is sure that this will pass and bitcoin will experience price increases again, which is important, patient, and still focusfor the purpose of your investment, this will all improve.

We should not be excited too much because the data are still not enough for us to conclude that the bull run will happen in this month. We will not be satisfied if we did not meet our expectations. We should just be calm and patience to wait what will happen to the market.

There will be a big recover in the market if the ETF will be approve.
Regulation is one big factor for many countries to open it to there people.
Once that happen, demands will be big again and people will start getting the bitcoin which will get the market much healthy!

It will recuperate mate it is pleasant to exchange when the cost is bullish so you can return any longer. The sum you misfortune is additionally enormous for me I surmise we have a similar range however I don't misfortune that sum in exchanging since I like to hold at awful occasions.

Dont worry we all make loses to learn!!!! have you heard about Blockstamp?

Try and try until you success, Do not despair because it's just a test to make our belief in bitcoin stronger. The price has dropped many times and of course it has increased again. Just the need patience and timing. Surely our loses recorver again and it is possible that our profit will be double

For me, REGULATION is one of the best thing to happen in BITCOIN.
This will open many doors from different countries and their local merchants.
Once the coins is regulated there will be more demands coming.

Most of us that trade find ourself in the same situation. I trade and sometime I do gambling but I have recently channel my investment into trading alone. What I have realized about the cryptocurrency is that you need to be very strong and always learn from your past mistakes. Especially when you are trading because that is the only way you can improve on your success rate. Thinking about your lost will not bring back the money but depression which might make your health deteriorate so my advice for you is that let the past be and focus on the future. Alot of us believe in crypto and that is the reason we are still here today

Regulation is one of the features that makes government From different countries want to ban bitcoin
And also lack of regulation is one feature that stands bitcoin out from the rest

I think we are very near to it. Wait for sec announcement and Nasadq. It will take BTC to a new height.

There is no doubt to the fact that most people incurred losses on their investment during the crash in price. It can also be said that these individuals have not recovered their losses. Now that the price is gradually coming back up, is a good sign for better days.

There are chances for a huge hike in few months. Current market strength is so big and if the governent changes, yes we are going to see good spike. Hope lots of chances to it. Every government is so concious that of bitcoin comes into their market their currency value would fall down. So need govt support for crypto's growth. Lets see.

I think that people should learn how to control their emotions.
You don't loose anything here unless you sell for lower price.
People shouldn't panic when btc price drop but should control their feelings and just hold.
I personally think that btc just started to grow again and that soon we will see more great news here like announcement from SEC.

though your courage is commendable, but this isn't yet the right time to celebrate bitcoin victory, for bitcoin is yet to break even, on a personal note, i think there seems to be a resistance holding bitcoin down at 4k and below, we will begin to merriment and celebrate when bitcoin is able to break the 4k jinx and surface to 5k and beyond.

It very great to see you are still around because most of those who invested in bitcoin when the price was high up to $19000 and waited till 2018 to make profits but the year was one of the worst year for bitcoin because the price dropped from almost below $3000 dollars and is not able to recover since then are depressed.

Yes, there's already a sign for a good market to come for better days. The losses isn't a big loss a actually, lets just consider it as a challenge for all of us who wanted to take risk in order to see price became much profitable. Moreover, it needs a lot of patience in order to aquire more gains in the future. Everyday is always capable of an increasing price, just learn how to calm ourselves so that we can achieve the best decisions to choose.

Government supports are very important and it could help for the people to give trust for crypto. If they'll never found it, they still be in doubts putting up their money into investing crypto. But for now, many countries have lifted their banned against crypto and they accept as they know that it could help to their countrymen.

I hope China will become more crypto friendly, it's one of the big growing countries but unfortunately the government is very strict and sceptical about Bitcoin. If China will become Bitcoin friendly, the economics and people can profit from it.
It's at least being exciting times for Bitcoin if they do it.

The government support will definitely boost people thirst for Bitcoin because the negative messages said about Bitcoin will be cripple then.
Hannahan, the drive force behind the current strength poses by the demand in crypto market was the  upcoming ETH forks. Mind you, the bearish market is yet to over.

The price of Bitcoin will rise in 2019 after a long time decreasing in 2018. And I think after the announcement of SEC and Nasdaq, Bull run will happen with Bitcoin and the price will go to $10,000 in Q2 2019. So hope to wait for the bright day of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market.

Yeah I think regulation will open up greater potential for high prices, because there will be a lot of positive things coming when legalization happen. but without legalization though the price of bitcoin will continue to rise, basically the price of bitcoin will be influenced by many things, so don't worry. the chance for prices to rise will always be there

right when you trade the experience you have will be the key to success that you will achieve and as much as possible you do not gamble again because it will only make your assets disappear instantly, you better trade because your assets will be safe and when prices fall you can definitely return recover.

Always have chance for bitcoin growing up because many time bitcoin always could be higher price, many people keep trust bitcoin could grow up and have potential back to higher price like last two years.

When I was still a newbie I also experience such situation, losing my hard-earned money due to my wrong decision as a trader and thinking about quitting since I may not able to get back what i've lost. However I decided to give it a try once again and follow others advices of not letting your emotion mess with your original plan. Although we are in bearish trend now, im optimistic about bitcoin. The past few days seems like we are heading to path of recovery but turn out we are still not. Bitcoin and other altcoins will rise but there's no specific time when it will going to happen.

Of course, the market works in cycle, so right now we are in the bearish cycle we might be at the tail end of it so what follows is the bull taking over and then we can see massive gains again. Last week was a good indication that investors are still willing to put their money in this market as the price reach as high as $4200. We just need a little patience and hope that 2019 will be a good year for everyone and see the price touches 5 digits again.

I think 2000$ is not a quiet small amount at this moment market situation. Market high pumping to take three days we hope that bull run will be start but it's really horrible just within 15 minutes market lost 12 billion dollar. BTC price 3872$ still green it's again will touch 4000$.

It doesn't matter where its priced in fiat. Fiat depreciates by design and what's left is stolen by wasteful government spending addiction stemming from over taxation

Majority of the people are in this market for gain but one thing they need to understand that bitcoin is not just about profit or loss, there was a revolutionary idea behind this invention. Stay strong and learn more about this future money system in order to avoid loss in future.
You never lose, you always learn, and this is the best learning phase for you and all other beginners.

Bitcoin will always have the opportunity to rise all depending on the trader or those who have the bitcoin how strong it is to hold it, because the movement of bitcoin depends on traders and bitcoin owners to manage it wisely.
do not panic and emotion when bitcoin goes down or rises a little because it will encourage you to sell before going up high and eventually come back down, and many other problems why bitcoin goes up and down again but i rather describe small things without realizing things like that affect market movements or bitcoin.

Bitcoin has been struggling since 2018, and this situation does not seem to end soon. However, many experts, investors and analysts predict a bright future for Bitcoin. Before the price of Bitcoin soars, the current price may be the last chance for potential investors.

Why does everyone say that the increase in bitcoin is based on trading activities, even though many of the traders kill each other. When bitcoin goes down, everyone panics will lose their money. If the whole person thinks the same it will result in a massive market decline. Maybe when this is the best time to buy, I see a potential long-term increase.

You mean the market was really tempting? I think I feel you, because that's a normal feelings of an individuals who have goals in Bitcoin world.
The market at the present time now was showing a good performance so far. If you are going to check and observe the price of bitcoin it got increased though its not enough to say its the beginning of bull, I think now. Due to bitcoin was also a volatility in terms of its value.

It is a psychologically effect. It can't be controlled or regulated, it is what it is. Speculation grows, and many strategies are used to keep people, say that is one of the strategies in existing.

After the excitement, the price goes back to a normal level and its really sad because people are panicking again. Right now, consider this one as a chance for every small investors to own more bitcoin because its cheap, so many predictions that can inspire us, motivate yourself to keep on holding.

I think bitcoin always gets the chance to go up, but it can't be regulated and predicted when bitcoin can rise again, we just wait for the coin to return to normal price or even higher.

I think that all the trust is not fully owned by all the investors now, the evidence of panic is still visible in all markets when bitcoin starts to decline, I think bitcoin will drop back

I also can see that price of bitcoin has started to rise again because entire crypto currency system has been made on round circle which repeats every time as if today price is low and it is available in market at cheap price to buy so it is surely there after some time at high price and then it will be able to sell so it is normal process no need to be worry about it at all, better if we keep holding with patience and wait bull is on the way.

You are not the only one that lost a lot of money during the long bearish market. However, instead of taking wrong decisions and panic sell it's way better to keep your mind busy with other activities and come back to check your wallets in 1-2 years. You might have a great surprise to return back when bulls came back :)

hehe stop trading if you dont wanna risk your money.
I would recommend you Bitcoin lending . Its very low risks you can lend on bitfinex and some other exchangers,


regards

The opportunity is latent, it is a market where volatility reigns, but it is necessary to understand the phase in which we are in the market, can not wait at this moment for the direction of the market to go in a bullish direction, because although volatility helps , the operators will always look for a way to obtain gains in the bullish and bearish movement, the best thing to do, if you do not want to risk trading downward, wait and hold, may be months, years, whatever is necessary, until the market in general begins its bullish career.

This time Bitcoin price may increase gradually, and that is needed in my view! Another sudden bull run may harm the crypto growth for a long time. Because people are waiting to sell their token to recover their loses. Most of the people will sell If Bitcoin price starts increasing toward 10K USD! This recent Bitcoin price growth seems stable and if it continues then the crypto market will have a stable bull run in this year.

The market is decentralized that means that the total control of the movement of the market lies in the care and power of you and I, thus the traders and holders of Bitcoin. Whenever, a trader panic sells or sell Bitcoin below the market price, the value or price for Bitcoin at that moment is decreased and vice versa. Hence, it is up to us to handle Bitcoin with great care and value and the market will rise as expected.

Losing  in trading is tolerable because this is affected by prices dropping and we can’t blame anyone from this as responsibilities are done.

But losing in gambling is stupidity to be accounted since its you mistakes in choosing to gamble as you know the chance of winning is once in a million chances

Bitcoin will always chance to rise as it was proven for how many times for the past 10years but for you to succeed?then thats the question cannot be answered unless you stop gambling

Next month usually bitcoin price will growing up and its the best chance how to get profit with bitcoin and you could take much profit later, every time you always have chance to buy and invest at bitcoin with lower price and selling later when higher price.

Here's a tip for you. I always look at the crypto market since last year and whenever the market pumped, get ready your coins to sell it because most of the pump is like flash pump and after that it will crash again. Things like this always happened so many times and i learned now, like 2-3 days ago, after the big increase i sell my coins and wait until the market go down and it happened yesterday.

Stop gambling in focus with trading, bring your risky attitude inside trading and make a decent calls to grow your assets, if you have that capabilities
to take a higher risk, once your call got converted the earnings is huge than you expect, people around this market are risking their trust to the system
which no one really knows the results.

Instead of risking in a worthless based on luck gambling, better to take a extra steps learning how to trace pattern and how to read indicators, after that take a much deeper entry inside the trading business and wait for positive results.

I always think positive, when it comes to the Bitcoin status in the crypto market. I always wanted the Bitcoin to rise up again like it was going to the moon. I want to see more people engage to the crypto currency community and be a part of the world we are living into, full of opportunities through crypto currencies. I am always looking forward to the rise of Bitcoin even how hard to strive in the current crypto market.

I can tell you are telling the truth, well, just like you, I also have the habit to monitor the price constantly and we have the same observation.
These pump and dump has been a trend in the bear, and as long as we stay with the bear, it will never change, but it's not negative if we know how to use it on our advantage, we have to be smart at any given market situation, let's follow the strategy of buying the rumor and selling the news.

remain optimistic that the market will recover, even though at this time the bitcoin price movement has not been stable but the opportunity to raise prices is still quite large because there are still many investors who believe the bitcoin price movements will increase sharply in the future. the main key we have to do is patiently wait and not panic easily because of the current market situation

Do not let the speed of bitcoin increase, because the bitcoin price will not be increased immediately because bitcoin is stolen, bitcoin stole it so that the bitcoin has dropped significantly because it does not invest too much for him That's the amount, so we still have some months or years that's just that confident.

It's possible to go up and also be able to go back down at a lower price. Many people feel lost because of the deteriorating market, but by being patient and still holding on then there is a possibility that you can recover from the losses that you experience and can even provide higher profits.

If this happens I will be happy and the whole forum will be happy, there should not be any normal pump atleast BTC should reach 5k to reach in a descent zone. So that I can recover from my losses which happened previously and I can expect a descent profit .

Well bitcoin of course has a big chance to rise, only we do not know when will it rise, right?
Although, since last year 2018 bitcoin was honestly struggling very much in the bear market. And because of this
there are lot of rumors and speculations by many were majority of them didn't happen and their prediction was also failed
about the bull run.

The best thing you can do now is to prepare yourself better and to only engage in trading or in investing once you have raised your knowledge considerably but if you decide to once again invest in the market without any clear strategy then I am sorry to say this but it is quite likely that you are going to have the same results over and over again until you lose everything you invest, many think it is easy to earn in this market and it is not, only those with the drive to do everything to learn have any chance.

So I hope you really begin to study the markets and how they move, if you do that you could really have a chance of changing your life for the better.

well trading and gambling have high risk
so if your new bitcoin before thats the worst way to start in bitcoin
well its not really a bad thing aleast now you learn how to manage your bitcoin

I am not sure what you are talking about  ??? . what stolen bitcoin you are talking about? are you talking about exchange hacks in the past, if that is the case the price right now has nothing to do with the hacks that happened. I hope you will improve your language as it is not clear what you are trying to tell here.
The price will increase, we saw some glimpses last week about the market recover and we saw the correction too, just wait for a few more months and you will see the market recovering in stages.

Indeed it is not stable for now but it will increase high in very short time, people are holding as bull has started to move and it will keep on moving more and more, so better if we buy at this time when price are at reach but only few years later we will see huge price once again,. Price is not increasing sharply right now but I am sure within few months it will move too high.

Maybe sooner or later, the Bitcoin will rise up again. I never give up on this thought because everyday, I always wish that the Bitcoin will get back to its normal state or get back going to the moon again.

always thinking optimistically is indeed something we expect, but if we have lost too much then our chance to get our money back becomes difficult, maybe the right step we can get out of bitcoin trading first we can trade by looking for coins that are experiencing an upward trend, because if we follow a coin that is going up, our potential to get more profit. this is only my thinking because we don't have enough money to last too long ...

Well it's a lesson to learn because we all how risky is the crypto it's important that we are prepared here. Emotion, financial and lot of knowledge about crypto. But still its gladly that you are here and still stand for the better.

Keep hold your asset because bitcoin and altcoin will have higher price later, always keep save your balance on your wallet and never for selling at lower price because its really bad moment to sell your asset at lower price.

Yes actually the market is pump slowly. Anyway, if you look at wider time frame then you can understand why bitcoin is still profitable investment, it price is very cheap at the beginning but now it is worthy asset. The adoption is still growing so the price will rise naturaly.

I also think that it would start to raise again soon since it has been down for so long,
So for now just relax and take some crypto while it is low because we might miss this chance in the future ,
Who knows maybe if it pumps up again it wouldn't go back on 4 digit mark.

The price of bitcoin has already appreciated many times in the previous week but only to consolidate later. There is still no clear sign if the leading cryptocurrency will have a strong rally or mini bullrun in the coming days. But compared to last year, the crypto market is more positive this time and there is a frequent appreciation in the prices of different coins and some of them are having their first all-time high.

Its really good that you are still here after losing your money as many will leave and start making wrong assumptions about this crypto market without any knowledge but there is always profit associated with risk if you have invested in the right project.Yes the market seems to be in good condition with graphs turning green from red once again but it's not sure whether it's the real pump or just a normal rise eventually being followed by price dips. Everything is possible in this volatile market.Stay calm and positive.

Yes I think this is not the time for us to lose hope, bitcoin still have a chance to rise again eventhough no one know when the time Will come. But when people try to survive in this condition and not sell their bitcoin, its enough to make bitcoin survive and rise again in the future.

In my opinion, you made the right decision to stay here. We are here because we have confidence, that this big wave will end soon. There is little patience that we need to get through this

I am glad that the market is going well, instead of dropping like before. I didn't have any losses because I sold them at the peak, but I started hodl some altcoin, so I hope this will be the start of great things.

Do not hesitate to speed up the bitcoin price because it's not just a matter of time, maybe if I ask, I'm afraid that no bitcoin's previous price will go back to so high because there's so much loss and bitcoin trust so the others will not be able to turn on bitcoins because they know they're just losing money when they invest. But if the bitcoin increases so much then that, but it's impossible because bitcoin thieves are still more and more so it may not be as good as ever.

No one can what will be the future price, in every field their are thieves but it dont mean that their wont be progress. when last time bitcoin rose to 1200+ $ price and then went down to single digit price that time also everyone thought that it wont go up high but see after some years it went 5 digit price high, so nothing is impossible only thing is you should have faith and invest in low and take profit in high.

Most of people have some bigger and smaller loses but for sure price of bitcoin will rise
it is just matter of time
At any moment we can have news that Bakkt proposal appear on CFDC page for comments
we have Bakkt launch one month after that
I guess we will have Fidelity launch in March
Fidelity doesn't need any approval
Yet another trading giant want to offer bitcoin investment It is Deutsche Börse second biggest German stock market owned by NYSE
I will not say about ETF and of course bitcoin halving is in fact not so much long time from now
I think also that bottom was at 3100$  and worst is behind us

Thats right people should have patience until the market gears up, I can understand that a lot of them are desperately looking for a bull run but situations seems to be very tough according to the recent market status. Its better to hold our asset and wait patiently until it turns green.

Hello everyone, what are the forecasts for Bitcoin now, is it worth investing money in it now? ??? ??? ???

Sure there is a high possibility that bitcoin is going to rise and hey don't be emotional when it comes to trading or investment into cryptocurrencies. Invest at this bear market and stand the chance to earn some profit when the crypto market rises.

I am sure that bitcoin will certainly rise again. but sometime happened. but most importantly we are sure that we can calm our hearts to continue bitcoin. the problem is that the future of bitcoin is still long and not easily destroyed.

I am really sure that bitcoin will certainly rise again though its being faced with some challenges lately. Things will get better. We just need to be calm and hold our coins for sometime.

Right now, and this year I am grateful that I am still here today, so I will not miss the opportunity given me some years. I'm still here to have a change for furture, and I'm sure that bitcoin will change for the new future that awaits us, and hopefully it will raise again with good profits.

based on my observations about the growth in the price of bitcoins that always go up after a decline, so my advice is worth investing now and wait for prices to rise and sell. Bitcoin is also a good coin. It will be more for you to start investing in Bitcoin.  :) ;)

You only lose when/if you sell, don't forget that.  If you don't depend on these money on you day by day life, then there is no reason to sell in loss. Just be patient and wait for market trend to reverse.

There more chances for Bitcoin to rise. Bitcoin is the number one cryptocurrency asset which has greater potentials of rising irrespective of how long and intense the bear market may present itself. Now, India has authorize the activities of cryptocurrency and laws are yet to be passed on cryptocurrency in Russia. All these are good steps towards the achievement of high price of Bitcoin in the next few months.

Great news, eventually every country will become crypto friendly.
With proper regulation they will not hesitate to adopt it, crypto will become a big community for us as it it will soon be supported with big money.
Businesses will adopt with crypto as they know the market is big, with the different technology that will make payment system faster and transparent, there's no reason it will not succeed.

It is worth it as long as you've invested in the right time.

Bitcoin may experience a bad price movement these times but I don't think it will falter us, investors, to stop from investing. The price of Bitcoin is continuously changing as we all know it is a decentralized cryptocurrency, it is volatile so if you will be making a good time to invest, you will still earn a good amount of money in time. Timing also plays a good role in investing, always remember that.

Seems like Bitcoin is showing people some hopes. The prices have almost reached $4000 twice since the start of 2019.
However, it is still not stable. There are good chances of it coming back to high prices in 2019 or in 2020.  It's good to wait and see where it goes now!

If you’re selling all of your holdings in the current market situation then you will lose. Consider holding for the long term, I guarantee that the profits will come in the next bull run. Wait for it and have patience.

It's not too late to trust Bitcoin. You lose money but I think you get it again if the pump happens. Still holding until you get your profit.

Bitcoin has a huge chance to rise again. How can I say this even the current crypto market is not so good? Because no one knows what the future holds. And by that, the Bitcoin have its 100% chance to rise up again as well as its contrary to no in full percent too.

I totally agree that we need to continue to promote Bitcoin to counter banks and centralized system, and most of all to support each other. It's really cool that you can meet a lot of co-thinkers people here :)

2,000 US dollars is enough amount to get hurt losing. If you are passionate about bitcoin, you have to stay even though you lose a lot of money already. You have to stand up again from the floor and do your best to do rise again. This is a part of Bitcoin and any investment of assets. Sometimes you will lose, but one win is enough to be a winner nor a champion.

Start it slowly, try new things like investing in promising ICOs, I have heard that dApp is roaring so you might try it as well. Good luck mate and may the better luck will be yours this time!

Losing $ 2,000 is a big loss, but it's in trade and in gambling. If I can know how much you lose in trading? Well, you have to get up and keep holding, the opportunity will always be there because fluctuations will continue. Prices will also go up, so don't give up. I'm sure the price of bitcoin will increase and return to reaching its highest price, so it's better to be patient.

I think you have considerable determination, and of course dare to take risks, and I don't think you need to rush to make a big decision, and you better think slowly. by looking at the circumstances that have happened around us, of course. the problem is we can't easily go through what you say, and of course the challenges we face are different.

I am glad you found your way of coping with such loses of money. Holding is an option at all times
but active attitude will help you to get back your funds much quicker. Good luck!

I am also sure price of bitcoin will be high very soon and it will get huge profit for us, massive adoption this year made things get positively change and it motivated people to hold their coin for long term I am also holding and I am saving it for further profit because price has started to increase very soon, so hopefully our dreams will come true very soon.

What do you mean by active attitude? Please elaborate this, did you mean active trading or something similar?

For me really I would not trade actively now, I'll just keep my coins and hold it, and just wait for the right time when btc will recover.
I've tried to experiment but my experience was not good, I'm not getting profit when active trading, so I decided to find another way for my daily source of income and that is finding a job while crypto is still at the stage now.

$2000 lost amount of money is big for me too and for sure the others too . But you don't have any choice now is to hold the coins you have to recover your lost which is $2000 if you have more money to invest just use it to recover from your lost and also to earn more money. Continue holding your coin can help to the market to rise and after that market will gives you a lot of money.

Bitcoin is still able to move to higher prices, but for the time being it is difficult to be certain, still in patience to wait for hope to come true.

It also still has a chance for bitcoin to increase back its price again because it is still not the end for bitcoin. A lot of people are also hoping for bitcoin to rise back its price because they also lost a lot of funds since bitcoin goes down.

It's based on timing, now we are at a bad timing if we are expecting it to rise, the bear is still in the market.
But this things might change, there's no way we will only see a bearish period, it's due for a change as we have already experience the longest run.
And with that, we should be optimistic now and act the right thing to do, which is to buy.

There's no permanent in crypto world, the price will change time to time. I don't bother my self when it happens that the bear market will become a bullish trend. I didn't have a doubt with bitcoin I still buy for it until now because I believed that it will grow the price someday and those who have skeptical to invest will regretable near in the future when they witness the sudden growth of bitcoin.

I guess in that $2k, you have more losses in gambling than trading. Anyway the chance for btc to rise is always there but you have to wait a little longer since we are still in bearish market. As you can see the recent rise goes down so fast more than the struggled btc got up for how many days. Just buy more while the market isn't in hype.

You have to assess more, don't worry as we expecting to have some rise after this bearish trend, there's still pressures that bear will continue and
make things more complicated and frustrating, you just need to have a better assessment, if you are leaning with the bounce back just keep yourself
updated with all the things that happened around, calm down and stay positive.

Exactly, we need that, Patience is so important in the crypto world. As you said, last year the crypto market was decreased so much in the value because of a lot of problems and also the manipulation of the whales. I'm sure that bitcoin will recover his value soon, because it's so strong crypto and a lot of people support it, so we just need to wait right now until the high increase of prices, It will happen, don't give up and sell you bitcoin guys, holding is the best think that we can do right now.

I can feel it now, it won't be long anymore.
BTC rally again and forming a bullish trend, seems like I've seen this in the past and I think this time it will dump anymore.
If this is just a trap, at least we can buy at a lowest price compared to the current, that way we can still get out with a profit once it starts to dump.

That is truth I will really get excited if bitcoin can grow back to were it is in November and early December 2017. We see strong growth that year and I will be happy if bitcoin can grow like that this year.

The previous peaking happened all of the sudden, similar price increase could happen anytime soon or in the future. The time frame for the same to happen is truly impossible to predict. We've got possibilities of rise quite often, but with some interruptions it gets stopped. With the next forward push we'll grow high at least around $5000. This seems to be low in comparison to the 2017 end price.

This year started with fluctuations between 3200 and 4200 dollars, we seen one higher spike and that's it. I think next period will be the similar, litecoin halving is close so that can boost a price a little, litecoin already have a nice rise in past month. Bitcoin price will rise, but I don't expect to see breaking through 5000 before winter, it can happen but I doubt in that. On a side experts that are too optimistic, fudsters that are way too pessimistic, I'm trying to be realistic and to wait for my moment. In dips you buy when price rise you sell, don't wait for price to start rising for your buying, it can already be late.

there is a sign of bull i can sense it but some peeps disagrees with it  . they say that its only a bullish trap but if its a bull trap so what ? atleast we did buy a coin at a lower rate so yeah you are right mate  .   bull trap can sometimes be our friend because it helps potential investors to get atracted on the current dip  . sooner or later there is always a chance for bitcoin to rise   .  all we need for now is patience  and strong faith  .

If we are similar to the past, the rise that already happened is most of the anticipation of the halvening and the actual event is the news ie. buy the rumour sell the news.   That'd be a rough take.
Trading shouldnt be gambling, in that scenario for example there should be a stop loss in case that theory is correct and the half event means a weaker price

I think when you apply the stop loss method in trading you do it will only give you a lot of losses, if you are given two choices between holding assets until the price rises or applying a stop loss when the price falls? I will choose to keep holding back until the price rises again because the coin price will not be forever below, it will definitely rise again someday.

Look for the price now there is a big chnace now to rise the value because finally we reached again $4000

Stop loss is not a good thing to use because we know that trading in bitcoins and friends is not like forex trading, because holding assets or selling it to get lower prices is the best when prices go down, but whatever digital trading is very risky we have to take decision without any doubt

In fact, the price of $4,000 is still very little compared to the last ATH. It is more important that the situation stabilizes and the price has started to increase steadily and naturally with the development of projects.

It might be hard to achieve a new ATH but price should recover.
$4,000 is already a good price as it was due to recovery, we hit the bottomed (hopefully) and we will start to slowly rising, slow but steady is good
rather than a sudden price soar then it will be dump right after, this kind of price movement hurts us.

Your attitude means nothing against this market, what it matters is what skills you have that can give you profits, every day there are many people that have the right attitude and are looking for a way to make profits by trading that lose everything because they did not had the right skills to make the money they wanted, even if you practice holding your coins instead of trading you still need the ability of being patient even under the most difficult circumstances.

Which explains why we have seen the price going down after the bull market and why this bear market has been so long since many people thought they had what it was necessary to be long term holders only to sell their coins for a loss months later.

the price has reached $ 4000, now I hope the price of bitcoin will immediately rise to the price of $ 4100 and stabilize towards the price of $ 4200. well, I'm so optimistic about the big changes that will occur.

It's not the trend now, what I see is that there's a slow and consistent rise and I appreciate this kind of movement now.
We don't nee to jump up hard as we know what will happen next, a nice price movement that is stable and steady is always better than a pump and dump
because this market is not healthy if we always see that kind of movement, it should be stable.

I was working for cryptocurrencies and I started to do so during Spring 2018. You can realize that it was disastrous for me because I didn't exchange my compensation for fiat currency and I have suffered big losses in terms of real money.
I was prepared for that and I do not panic. I wait for the rise to continue my investing activity.

I also lost good amount of money since I invested on crypto and this makes me so discouraged. But seeing the potential of coins gives me hope that it could regain and recover it's price it has reached before. There is no denying that I can no longer wait to see the growing but I always go back to the reason why I invested. The wisest thing to do now is to buy more while price is affordable and hold in secure wallet like Electrum or like what I'm using claled Hodler. This will give better security since holding coins is better for long term.

Of course, a great opportunity is brewing for Bitcoin to rise! If we are currently in the Accumulation phase (According to the Wyckoff Theory) where it clearly shows that there may be times when volatility wreaks havoc.

It must be taken into account that for this phase it is best to buy and hold until the bitcoin enters its bullish phase, seeing it from the point of view of an investor, now if you want to speculate in the market you should only follow the market direction , be it bearish or bullish. What is not known is when bitcoin goes to reach its bullish tendency, so the best thing is for now to wait and hold to be able to make profits.

Bitcoin will definitely increase again, in my opinion one certainty. The problem is when and how much it increases, which must be analyzed in order to predict the expected level of profit.
Business is indeed at risk, but if the decisions taken are through analysis and the results are not much different, the analysis used can continue to be utilized and capital can be added.

If you want to recover your losses in both trading and gambling you need to control your self as what I see you are too excited to make profit, first learn how to win trade and avoid gambling because is too risk, regarding to bitcoin it will surely increased in the future maybe a 2020 halving will gives a big impact to both investor and miners.

I also think that a very fast price increase at this moment would end with even greater drop. Sooner or later we will see new ATH, unless in the meantime someone finds a better technology than a blockchain, and I doubt it very much ... certainly not within a few years. ;)

First of all, your first mistake that made you lose of 2000$ was that, you came unprepared to this world.
I mean seriously before investing 2000$(which is a pretty big amount) you need to do atleast some research dude.
I would suggest you that, before investing in any coin you would have tracked it's ups and downs , i mean growth. It would have saved yoy from a big loss.
You could have also Searched in YouTube about some tips and tricks for Gambling. This would surely prevented you from getting so much loss.

But now as you are waiting for Bitcoins to rise, i wish it will soon. Like you many other traders are also holding their coins in order to sell it in high price.
Hope this day comes soon.

many people who lose not only you. the best way to be responsible for your losses is to get more profits. never give up, and persevere. because now prices are starting to improve with some good news. Yes, even though this is not sure to continue to rise, at least, surviving is the right choice to be responsible than you run away with deep disappointment.

Now only cryptocurrency speculation can be called stable, because most people remain investors since 2016.
What happens next with cryptocurrency remains a mystery.

Its cool to have been investor since 2016)

I think the current condition of the cryptocurrency price still can't improve because the price of bitcoin at the exchange is still falling by more than 50%, the condition of the cryptocurrency can be improved when prices have recovered at least the price of bitcoin at $10k.

Not sure but opinions are counted towards this journey of waiting, the value of bitcoin still down from it's last time high but still better coming from it's introductory value, so it will only depends on the persons/investors points of view on how they will interpret the current trends, chances to rise is always there as many speculators are just waiting around, big news and progress updates will bring new movements and bring attractive run.

If you believe from this investment, the rise will be easily appreciated even in a small movements that it brings to your investment.

Especially if the investor managed to sell all the coins at the end of 2017))

Those that buy bitcoin in 2016 and are still holding it have makes serious profit if they are still holding and if they are opportune to sell 2017 has really make serious profits then.  Even at the current price bitcoin is still doing very well compared to what was happening then in 2016.

All those people who lost huge money in 2018 are still in a state of extreme despondency, naturally, they would like to see Bitcoin tomorrow cost 20,000 again, but this does not happen, now it will have to wait long enough for Bitcoin to return to its peak values. This will not happen in one week.

That's me, I also lose money during that time.
Not that I loss literally but the value of my entire portfolio have significantly drop, and just like them, I am also waiting for BTC to recover.
Meaning, it should break it's ATH and make a new ATH, for me to sell at a good profit.

Back in 2016, we were all very happy that there are quite a lot of resources on the network that used Bitcoin to pay for services and to buy goods. I would like this development trend of using Bitcoin to continue today. This would really change the cryptocurrency market for the better.

There is a major improvement now, but investors are smarter or wiser now.
Market fundamentals are good for crypto, but price can be manipulated that's why we are seeing a price volatility or a pump and dump.

idk and we dont know if there are still faithful investors after the 2017 hype that happen . who on earth would not be tempted to sell when the value of all cryptos are on times 10 max ?  but yes  , they can still earn some income today and they can still earn much more in the next incoming day/weeks/years  . but the regret will still remain  .

somebody believe that doublefolding of mining rewards in 2020 will increase price of btc..

I believe. If this does not happen. That and bitcoin will cease to exist. :o

Not many people happen to sell at peak. Rather there were many retails investors who enter the market when the market was at full peak. Their reason for the enter was fear of missing not. Only the whales or the real investors were able to take the profit as they knew the trend and only they know when to sell at peak.

loses in investments is what strengthening our minds to keep investing and gathering experienced for successful investments. I think we are  not going to have bitcoin remaining as it is today or for the past 1 years.  Bitcoin will definitely going to recover and putting money in it now is one of the things I am doing.

I also have a very long and not very positive experience of gambling, and as a person who a few years later found in himself the strength and abandoned this addiction - I suggest the author of this topic also make a decision and forever abandon his pernicious gambling habit. This is a form of heavy addiction that does not live normally.

His technique is bad because he combined gambling and trading.
Combining them will increase the pressure, especially in gambling where the emotion is high and the winning chance is low.
I suggest that if we want to find real success, we should focus on trading, we can gamble but it should be for profit, but for fun only.

Halving will come by around May 2020 and just compare the results that occurred for the past halving events over the entire run of bitcoin. Mining rewards will be lessen and difficutly will increase which can turn the demand higher.

Thanks a lot! Very informativ

What means pump and dump for you? since I read some commenting about pump and dump a moment ago. And for me, bitcoin is so hard to be use as a place for pump and dump. If the rising price at this time caused buy pump then we will see the price dump already but it's not, till this time the price bitcoin still showing to the price up. However, your statement can be right because we will not know what will happen afterward, but I hope the price will go up and leave the bearish market.

There is no point in thinking what could have been, if you did not invested in the market at that time then forget about it you cannot go back in time and invest during that year, we are in 2019 and you need to find ways to make money under the current market circumstances, it may seem as if we are headed to a recovery but that may not be the case and the price could crash again and you need to be prepared for it.

I know it's hard but there are still many coins that are being released every day and some of them are going to become successful during the next two years you just need to find them and invest in them and even more importantly to keep holding them even when the price goes down.

The bitcoin rised this month, but now again someone still sell their coins and make price go a bit down, maybe if more people will not sell bitcoin for so low then the price will grow and grow the whole month, we need to wait more for a bull run anyway.

If you compare 2016 and the present time, you can clearly see that it has improved a lot already.
That time maybe is the time for accumulation and people made profit during the 2017 bull run, but that's just the price action, if you look
at the fundamentals, you'll understand more. Let us always put in mind that price can be manipulated, so sometimes it does not tell the exact progress in the market.

We must look bitcoin price from start to now because we can't look and compare bitcoin price only from certain year. Not only from 2016, but since beginning i think bitcoin price really improved and even it is hard to adopted as payment, as assets it's already good.

When you compare with last month the price of bitcoin is increasing and it is very good sign for the investors to make some decent profit in the market. So we have to wait and see how far this positive trend will move in the market. Maybe situation will change or it continue to increase.

Well i'm not really praying for anything like that. But for the sake of those that are day trading and those trying to recover losses, i hope it does rise. We're not primed yet for a steady bull market but what's happening now, even before we got to 5k, its a good sign of things to come.

Well by december of last year i think i was the best time for investing i remember the $30 lite coin as a stable coin jokes now the invester have like X3 profit and bitcoin1.5 profit. I think always an oportunnity just be patient men. Been part of the BTT family help u alot, mainly for me because theres no other one i know in my country who know aboyt the crypto world.

See dude, as I have said earlier, i will also say you the safe.
There is always a certain period for which Bitcoin at first crashes, but then again rises.
If you keep a close eye to the graph then you can know the right time to invest.
And as far you are concerned about the chance of Bitcoin to rise, it only depends on us.
Like if there is more demand of Bitcoin, then it will surely rise. As the supply will be less.
Hope you understand the fact now.

Considering how bitcoin pump the recent day is very appreciable for us who wait for too long to have a great bullish run. It may not reach the peak we expect, atleast it has shown a sign of growth gradually that enlightened a big chances of bull run will occur eventually.

Hope all people can think about it. Not always blame bitcoin for not reach their target price and then can appreciate bitcoin which is getting better and better. Only need time actually for people to be patient and it can reach peak.

Don't focus on loses but instead have a certain amount of money where you will sell it immediately based on your limit. Feeling depressed on a failed trade is a natural thing but if you hold that feeling for too long I don't think is right. Every trade has a higher chance that it will fail than to win so be mentally ready before trading or else you won't learn from and blame yourself everytime.

Every trader are facing the risk of losing in their venture, and that is normal to traders that they will also loss.
However, if you are devoted with what you are up to, you should continue to learn and consider your failure an inspiration that you will have to learn and improve. No traders or investors in crypto that has start easy and end easy, we all have our struggle here but we survive and continue to succeed.

Good to know that I still found users that are truly amazing when it comes to bitcoin market price down. Of course holding is the best way not lose money. Thus, in the near future that market price you used to hold will be recover or even you can earn on it especially if it reaches the ATH and you still hold then definitely you will going to earn.

However, market is unpredictable so it is difficult to tell now if market is recovering or rising its market price.

I also believe that we have faith on this cryptocurrencies market and the current price behavior.  Many people has said Cryptocoins market is dead last year December when it went bellow $4000 but we keep hope and the market actually recover from that.

Defenitely the month of December 2018 is the right time to invest because that month and year the market is very low and since the january 2019 cames and until now they increasw a little and now market is now green and huge pump happen next coming months.

Any person who suffered a loss in 2018 now wants one thing - for Bitcoin to grow as fast as possible, but it takes a lot of time, no doubt - this will happen, if not this year, then next, we have to be patient if we want to get our money back and make money on it. No one said it would be easy.

You can't get your money magically back.
You need to offer something to the society that it is going to improve their way of living. If we don't try ourselves for promoting mass adoption we will not make any penny of it.

Bitcoin always has the opportunity to rise, the situation is always changing, but for the possibility of price recovering in that year it is not necessarily high, depending on what will come in that year, for the possibility this year is not so great, but for prices to rises certainly has a high chance

atleast you are admitting your fault for being investor unprepared,and coming here again .hope you will find peace of mind fot this
Thats a big amount of money specially to those whos staying here enjoying  to esndnfee satoshi

Holding bitcoin for a long time is a good investment but you should still consider that if you are planning to do that just spend the money that you can lose. If bitcoin increase for sure you will have your money increase but if it decreased you will not so affected.

I am very happy to observe the movement of bitcoin lately because the price continues to improve, because long ago Bitcoin has not shown excitement in trade, now the situation is changing.
Today the price of bitcoin is USD 5232 and will continue to increase along with the improvement in the world economy so that it can be predicted until the end of December 2019 the price of bitcoin reaches USD 8000.

That is necessary, long term or short term, you have to make sure you risk what you can loss.
Both are risky, maybe not same weight of risk but we are dealing with risk here as it's not certain if we will be successful on our investment.

Most users have suggested to spend what one can afford to loss, but investing on bitcoin one should not have some form of fear. There is always an assured chance for bitcoin to rise. Maybe there is some additional time required to hold, but the profiting is assured. With this it is good to invest what we allocate for long term or short term investing.

Yeah, when you are talking of investments, a risk factor is always involved, but one must be particular of what he can afford to lose while making an investment. However, bitcoin is considered as one of the safest investment since the lower risk factors are involved in it and moreover there's always a great chance of increment in coin's price...

There are always good opportunities in the markets but people do not have the guts to take them, the market of cryptocurrencies had so many opportunities to profit from it and yet most people took none of those chances and now they are lamenting they did not do so, so the lesson is clear whenever you see a good coin having a low price that is the moment to invest in it and hold it.

Maybe with price for now, people afraid to stock. Because bitcoin price is already increased enough from last price. Actually anytime we think it is good time to invest, it means we can take chance to make profit from it.

This is how crypto trading usually works. We take the risk of losing our money whenever the market goes down and that is the bad side f cryptocurrency trading. In some other instances, we can also benefit from it by doing some long term trades and then when the pump comes, profits will also come. And if you can afford to invest more, the better. Nothing is possible here. There are so many reasons to continue what we have started and to continue trading.

many have lost profits not only you. everyone has felt the same way. this is a part of the risk for looking a decent life. I have never regretted losing any profits I have missed or wrong in making decisions on trading or gambling. because I always think optimistically. otherwise today tomorrow will be sure. Patience is the key. look for the method that best suits you in gambling or exchanging if you have got it, surely you will succeed.

Patience will result to a good future for us investors.
The price of bitcoin has bottomed and if you are an investor who bought even during the peak, you will still be happy with what you are seeing now.
Today, bitcoin had a good increase and it seems going to the uptrend direction consistently.

the main thing in crypto is holding. If you have holding power and a coin go dump you should sit relax cool and calm if you will sell in panic you will get loss if you hold you will get back even after some time or years :) good luck

Their is chance for bitcoin to rise so holding for long is good as long their is a patience. Mostly users has a big lose because of the sudden dump of price but you have to know the risk before investing since it really happen. You are ready to face the consequence in crypto that price is really volatile.

You only lose if you sell but if you hold, you have to get back what you have lost. The potential future value is still there if you will save it in the future and just kept in on hold.

It has rose today to $5,500 - $5,600. And this opens the idea of most that we're actually near to the bull run that we have been waiting for over a year.

Users who made the investments when the price was around $3000 could have started to get back the profit out of the investment. This itself a big rise and all that people expect to the current time period is a rise of price above $10000. From my understanding it could happen before the end of the second quarter of the year as we're experiencing good progress with the market than the previous quarter of the year.

  We are penetrating a field with a high market volatility which is normally exist in crypto world. As the current market phase has shown gradual growth, there is a huge of chances that bull trend will occur by this year. Only time can tell, so we have to bare our patience widely open for every consequences may exceed. And be positive to overview a valuable outcome for the starting progression of market and hopefully it will continue to grow immensely profitable.

You're quite right mate, we should believe and patently wait for the possible awaken of bitcoin currency because once bitcoin will do bull run this year more or less altcoins will rise too, since they were underlying into bitcoin. But speculate and believe bitcoin will continue to rise and achieve the desire moment and is skyrocket of its value.

Losing 2000 dollars can be a lot of money or not depending on the original size of your capital, if your original capital was 4000 then losing 2000 means that you lost 50% of your capital and such losses are completely unacceptable for a trader, anyone following a strategy that makes you lose 50% in just a few months will lose all his capital in a short amount of time.

Now if the original capital was something like 40000 then losing 2000 means that you lost 5% of your capital, such a loss while important is not really that significant and as long as you have a tested strategy that works then you can recover that money rather quickly.
