I don't know why crypto experts/analysts always play safe by saying at the end of the year that coin price will go in that place/price! So, people wait 12 months to see it if they are right or wrong?! At the end of 2017, that was a miracle and after that so-called analyzer keeps predicting a high price by setting the timeline at the end of the year! We saw what happened in 2018 and 2019! It's better to learn the price chart and see other things to make your own prediction and strategy. Don't fall in words guys that Reddit co-owner, or Twitter owner or any other big names predict a high price, always do your own research in every sector in crypto. Good Luck.

True words, also the only reason behind analyst/experts say the end of the year is it's because of Christmas season where most of them have money at that moment so the demand will automatically increase and yes a lot of investors pay attention at the same time as few might be desperately in need of money as well. The logic is most of the time crypto market pumps while Christmas nears so they call it wait till the end of the year...

Will definitely play it safe, because 2017 will not necessarily be repeated again. so do not rush in making a decision, because the current crypto price movements are still difficult to predict before there is an increase of more than 50% of bitcoin.

It's a very normal thing to have speculations that ranges up to a year because it's everyone's right to give, guess, predict or speculate the price of a crypto with the given period of time.

This will be your decision if you want to give hope with their words or you can simply ignore them telling what would be the price at the end of the year. They are also doing it for personal gain so that articles, news and other stuffs will have their words covered.

it’s obvious that people are used to listening to the opinions of more successful people. People believe that if a person created twitter, then he knows exactly what will happen to the cryptocurrency, but this is very funny. Any person can be mistaken and he does not carry responsibility for your actions.

it's not being playing safe, they are just making the right prediction based on the length of time.
When they say within a year the price will rise, it is more likely to be correct compared to them saying the price will rise in 3 months.
Longer period means better chance of seeing it happening, but actually I don't totally believe in experts, I do make my own prediction based on my own analysis.

I agree with what you said! This is the reason I stopped unfollowing all the crypto predictors, right now I am only following the Binance CEO, not any others! Because if you follow those at the end type prediction and do what they suggest then you will get rekt or great, both have the same possibilities,  though REKT has more. So, ignore those experts and be a better one.  

Only very stupid investors trust to the words of some famous people. I'm not saying that these people are not professionals, but the fact is that the cryptocurrency market is now not accessible to some predictions. Some people control the market and they don’t tell anyone what will happen next

They are only taking advantage of us. we have seen so many big-name in the crypto called themselves as the expert in the crypto speculation but they are only taking benefit from their name. Mcafee has become the best example of how a crap guy with a bunch of bullshit always fool us.

There are some words also are making it true, But in comes on crypto maybe we should be careful all the time on what the people said because Im also a victim from that kind of trusting some words they said. And must better we make or work on our own than to listen to them, And we can gained more idea if we only one find a way about crypto. Asking someone also be a part of us if their are not we dont understand in crypto.

I'm in handling business and I know why it is being safe to say at the end of the year as for timetable. In business, its gonna be our measurement if we succeed and generate profit at the end of the year, the same thing that it happens in crypto. Price fluctuations are inevitable and unexpected, giving that way 12 months will consider a whole period to run the project and see its result. And in that given time, it gives time to recover losses(if there is) or sustains the market trend until the year-end.

I keep saying this over and over again, don't listen or pay attention to price predictions it hardly works. Every year Bitcoin price will be predicted and yet it won't attain the price, the question is, those who listened, bought and held who will they blame if the price was attained, no doubt Bitcoin is the best, but one needs to take good actions towards investing and/or holding. This price prediction isn't for Bitcoin alone other coins are involved too of which most might dump and never rise again. Like you said, the best thing is, study the market, make your decisions and stand by it, it gives peace of mind and if it doesn't go as planned you can easily re-strategize. Some of those predicting the prices of these coins might end up not buying.

I followed someone famous and experienced in the crypto field only as a reference and learning, because he was successful and I also followed in his footsteps, but the decision is still in my hands, so I do not fully follow these people, because whatever seems successful sometimes can fall down.

Not everyone can read charts, no matter how much they stare at a chart they can never no what's coming, even pros predictions go wrong most times, its better to just invest in top coins and leave the rest to what ever may happen, I am sick and tired of or predictions

You have the point that not everyone has the talent or the skills to read the chart or the market graph because me as myself I admit that I am not so good on reading charts and market graphs but still I am trying my best to give my best to share information to others.
Don't be tired on predictions because still there are so many people that are making predictions and some of its are getting true so don't stop on believing on it.

When people are not too sure how the market will go, in other not to loss relevance on the eyes of their followers and the public, they will just give an open long term prediction so when it fails they attribute it to various scenario. I take profit when I am comfortable with my trade.

Anyone who goes about listening to all these guys that predicts or speculate prices of coins needs serious help. Yes 2017 was a good year but ever since then all experts and analysts having been saying one thing or the other about coin prices and just like you said, mostly towards the end of the year, yet none hit the target thus turning most to bag holders. What I have figured out is, these price analysis always comes during uptrend in price of coins in the market. Gradually people are learning and taking the right steps, but yet more are still yet to learn. Since we are always in charge of our decisions we make while buying any coin it's wise we make proper research so as to limit the chances of unfortunate events.

i guess the only thing 2017 was able to do is to give rise to more crypto analyst who think they have the ability to predict btc price and it will definitely happen, apparently 2017 was just a pure luck or something of that nature, but just like the op already mentioned, after 2017, there was no prediction that later come to be as predicted, people should know better than believing in crypto analyst, just do your due diligent.

I guess everyone should use their common sense and not believed those so called experts. You also have to understand who are these experts and what the motive behinds those exorbitant predictions. Take for example, Tom Lee, he is a perma-bull, of course he will because he is a managing partner of that company.

And I'm sure majority have learn not to listen to those personalities, they are just media influencers and obviously, we can't predict the price of crypto because it is an asset base of pure speculation.

Predictions what happen in the future this is common things in cryptocurrency. Crypto influencer or any news what predicts does not mandatory you have to invest. But most of the investors curious to know which are the best coin in future, that's why everyone will go for recommend their own portfolio/coins and how much at end of the year.

anything can happen, market analysts often rely on charts to predict prices, it's often true many times, but not every time, you don't blame anything, to me, I'm not must be a good trader so often see the opinion of good traders, but the decision is still me, everything is at risk you are the only risk control.

There is no doubt that these days mostly crypto experts and analysts are spreading rumors just for their own profit these kind of ridiculous attempts create so much confusion for investors and traders especially for newbies but it can be stop with knowledge and awareness. Doing own research is absolutely necessary for investing in any particular coin/token we the crypto community will have to be aware on this issue.

I am a novice trader in the crypto market. I started trading daily in the crypto market. but I've never heard what other people said. I choose and research the assets that I trade every day myself. at my own risk and will not blame others. because I have heard people say to invest in coins that will make an update but in reality the results are bad and I lose money. I will not repeat it.

Actually, no one can exactly predict when the price will go up or go down, all price predictions are just speculation cryptocurrency works in very different ways compare to stock trading, forex trading, etc. cryptocurrency is weird in most things like its fluctuation, pricing, and even its capitalization thats why it's better to do research first about how cryptocurrency function before going to invest. while listening to some expert can be helpful but still, it's better to learn by ourselves.

In fact, in the last time, for example, at the end of this year there was no increase. Even the market is getting worse but at the beginning of the year the market has improved and is now experiencing a correction. The analysis is not that bad as long as it uses calculations and graphs

this year many updates from big projects. never feel afraid and doubtful about the market situation this year. I am optimistic that things will be much better at the end of this year. keep your trust.

I strongly agree with you it is better that way we should learn to read charts instead of listening to some random TA's prediction.
Who know's maybe some of them doesn't really know how to read the chart and just playing safe by changing the price of what other TA's have predicted.
If they are so great why not predict the monthly price not justthe year ends price?
All of us could do it we could all say that some random crypto would hit a random price before this year ends the only difference is they have some connection they are famous and that is the reason why people are entertaining them.

It's probably because some pumps are made at the end of the year or at least before December ends according to Bitcoin history so some analyst are saying this. Though they are "expert", you really can't trust them completely. Just take their word with a grain of salt and just use their analysis to create your own move. Some analyst are good at predicting but you still need to decide on your own.

Perhaps a 2017 crazy growth of the cryptocurrency market has affected everyone's predictions. The truth is that by the end of the year people need money to spend more, BTC has more pressure to lower prices towards the end of the year.

I agree with you, because the price increase is still not high and sometimes goes down, then we cannot say that the price has recovered and is stable, because if as long as the price is still going down and rising quickly then the price is still not stable, so the possibility of the price not recovering or rising and even the price could go down again will occur.

As of now, you can do anything about it, because at first, it is actually your responsibility as a trader to know important things like that primarily to avoid losing money and to make your own money grow. Trading is really a risky choice when you are involved with cryptocurrency and you chose to trade. I can say that it is not a good time as of now to sell your holdings because if you can see the market, yes it is recovering but do you think you can earn if you really sell your holdings on a price like that, maybe we should still wait for the right time that the value is reasonable enough to sell.

Indeed, even if the market is experiencing a downfall in terms of the value, I can say that every project is innovating and adopting the changes of the market, and that is actually a good strategy for the developers to innovate so that every investors and trader can really make a profit to the project they produced and to the promises they made.

I think this kind of prediction should not be followed in any way. Most of the time, it's proved that this kind of prediction is absolutely wrong. So I also think that without listening to these kinds of crypto experts / analysts, we need to do our own research.

I do not agree that the bull season in 2017 was a miracle there was a high push back then, with lots of hype flying around and alot of people did rush in to be a crypto currency token holder or investor.

And naturally, the end of the year holiday requires spending, and people sell off their holdings to have fiats to spend, it doesn't really necessarily cause a token dump, but it creates a situation where sellers are more than buyers and it leads to low prices

As far as am concern, I don't believe in any prediction. I will rather study the market myself and see how I can flow with the market than follow the prediction of so called expert.

Usually these predictions appear at the end or at the beginning of a year that is why mostly they use yearly timeframe to predict but personally i have learbed that uptill now crypro market has been moving in cycles so if we are in bearish cycle year end will be lower and if we are in bullish cycle year end will be higher, this is simple analysis and not some guess or prediction.

It's not a new thing, in fact most so called experts are used to it, there are some that predict towards the end of the year while some predicts during any little bull run but once it stops they stop as well. I only blame those who listens to them because most of those predictions has never worked, starting with Bitcoin which have been predicted over and over again yet not proving them right. Most times I tell people this crypto market hardly follows any prediction thus it's better to do your study on any coin and invest within your capacity.

That's the real spirit! We have seen enough in these two years. People should stop relying on other's prediction. Because as no one can ensure you except speculation then why would you invest your money only by seeing their imagination? I stopped following other prediction a long time ago, now I do buy and sell willingly! when I want I go for it!

At this point if you were around crypto long enough you should understand - there is literally no one who knows what is going to happen and there are not much of people who knows what is going on right now.
So make you own decision upon trusted info

Obviously, they play Game with the investors by showing a greed of coin price hike into the market at the end of the year. With this greediness the investors turns to invest huge amount into the market to avail the as much as profit. But, as usual at the end of the day or year all availing of profit on investment goes into the account of predictor/experts/analyst. Here what we need to do is just stop believing on the experts/analysts about coin's price predcitions. We just need to start our own servey/analyst about when the price of coin will hike. if i invest at this time will it be beneficial for me or not. All this good will happen at that time only when you will start believing your self for understanding or analyst the market instead of believing on experts/analysts. Just ahead forward yourself to avail the much profit. Happy Trading with satifying prediction. Good Luck.

Yes sometimes there are special times that are crucial for take profit and it becomes a habit like the end of the year.
Instead of following speculation from "famous people" I prefer to do an independent analysis and discuss with fellow traders. Moreover, more and more paid promoters who give statements for their own interests.

Is there something wrong to predict and give some certain duration to that? I think it will boost professional statement when it comes to market price once they can get close to their analyses. Usually end of year is the best time to put it cause no one will be interested on prediction on a middle spot month. I think this is just a routine that's why they always put it on that date.

If it jumps massively without real reason sell its start of the way to bottom , talking about currencies with 5-20 million markte cap

I think it is nothing wrong if people or company make speculation. It is all depends on us how we respond it and if we really believe it, it means we can be trapped into people's speculation anytime because not all will be happen. If me i will use my own prediction with a help from people's prediction. So i wil decide what i do depends on my prediction and not easily follow what people's prediction.

It's right do their own search don't believe at any speculation because no one can predict the right price and the right time bitcoin will grow. Many are saying this year is a year of crypto maybe a positive thought is in our mind but we need to be smart on that think so that we can not lose a big money.

It may be because of the bonuses that people will receive in their day jobs.
We always receive it at the end of the year right?
He might be predicting people will buy bitcoin or an altcoin as a store of value instead of saving it with banks.

But it doesn't happen as always. Just like last year, there is not much improvement with altcoin prices and up until now even with bitcoin and Ethereum being pumped. No changes at all, they are still red.

not all of coins with 5 - 20 million valuation range always got unreasonable pump. Look at some coins just like blockstack and it has brought a big news that makes investors are buying in the market again. The problem is we can't even identify all of them on what reason that create the pump.

Longer term predictions are lot truer than shorter term predictions. I believe that is why they make their prediction at the start of the year for the end of the year. And, for sure, it is always best for everyone to do their due diligence. There are many factors that could change the trend of the market. And if those factors are not noted, predictions could go wrong. Analyst aren’t soothsayers, they analyse what they see and predict what they feel would come.

Hehehe, I'm not guilty on this one ;D. I also don't listen too much on those "forecasters" simply because they are only trying to predict what will happen next and not stating facts with concrete evidences. So even how famous or how influential he is in this world, I don't care unless he showed me that he can time travel lol. At the end of the day, everyone can make their own predictions and everyone can manipulate what's in his hands, so why mind listening on those "false prophets"?

Many bitcoin enthusiast were expecting some price spike or huge price increase at the end of the year. Well, the thing is , it was the other way around. It was actually dumped on December 2019 untik January 2020. It just means it was just a pure prediction that it bitcoin will always perform bull run in 12th month just like 2017.

It is still better to trust your own technical analysis, analyze your charts and listen to your own TA and guts rather than listening to some btc speculators who only contribute to the fud.

There is no need to put an evidence because to predict the future you don't need an evidence but only a basis, but that basis will only be valid if we who listen to them agrees with it, that is why there's no guarantee that they are correct because they are just humans like us and like us we don't see the future and yet we can't predict perfectly. Maybe when I was new I am a fan of this experts but later I realized that they are not worth a lot to be successful in crypto.

well, I totally agree with this statement because now many coins have the same supply as bitcoin and even under bitcoin but cannot have the same price as bitcoin and cannot have trading volume like bitcoin because they have no demand and few use coins so the price cannot be easily increased.

Indeed. That is why we need to analyze daily, weekly, and monthly so we can know if the prediction will happen or not. Besides that, we can get more information about the prediction from other people that will be useful for us to decide related to the current situations. We need to make our own prediction, but we can use their prediction to know the good time to enter the market and leave the market. But people don't have to listen to other people's predictions if they are not sure if people are giving the right prediction or not, and it is better to make our prediction to enter the market.

Everyone has a freedom to express their thoughts or opinions especially in crypto world. Predictions are only suggestions or target by someone and it doesn't say that it will turn out that way as even professional investors or traders cannot predict what will happen in the future as crypto world is full of surprises.

If you are a wise trader or investors, don't fall to that kind of prediction and it's best also if you have your own graph so you can also tell whether what is the chance for crypto currencies to increase it's price in the following months. By doing so, you don't need to base on their prediction as you have your own already and even you can predict what will happen by the end of the year. It doesn't matter if your prediction will hit or not as that is how the market works.

However, I believe that the method “listen to your Technical analysis and yourself” is suitable only for those people who have been on the cryptocurrency market for a very long time. It is best for beginners to find a mentor for themselves who will help them make money. Their own decisions are likely to result in a loss of money

Of course, you’re right, you don’t need to listen to anyone and trust someone, you should always think over all your actions by yourself and then you will can reach the best heights, and all these predictions are just a hoax and are made in order to deceive people and therefore you should not believe them.

predictions are not always made in order to cheat people. As a rule, people want to earn a reputation and if their predictions work, then they become more authoritative experts. all this is done in order to earn money and make a business, but not for cheating. people who make incorrect predictions are simply not very experienced

'Do your own research' is the popular tag line so far and that is right. An example if you just rely one some expert prediction like 2019 and 2018 as you said then you were lost at that time. But when you believe and make your own prediction then I believe you won't be lose with huge money because you will play safe. I guess the people who just come to cryptocurrency and they learb first about cryptocurrencies's work then I believe there won't ever come some bad news about cryptocurrencies. As you know many informations there that stated someone has got a lot of lose when invest in cryptocurrencies and etc. But when they lear first they will play safe as you said in the op.

Maybe they're just defining not exactly 12 months but they're referring for a long term holding of coins, people are so literal and they're following it. It's bad for the big traders to give a suggestion like that since most of the newbie investors or users who don't know anything will follow those unsure statements.

It's impossible to tell exactly what will happen in 12 years if you're going to base all on the market analysis now and predict what will be an outcome for the next 12 months maybe they are just exaggerating that the coins will pump but not exactly in 12 months.

The only thing you must do is learn don't listen to those self proclaimed TA's.
We could also do it if we just try to study it,
We don't need to rely on them we could make our own decision and make our own prediction.
Learn to read the chart so you wouldn't just randomly picking the next price of each crypto.

It's their mistake if they going believed in one's prediction and IMO, it is totally wrong and in the end, they will expect too much and it can even lead to their frustration. Even we see a prediction of a well-known or professional person still do not believe instantly because it's just their own theory and it came from their own perspective. Based on what I see here and in other articles it tells that most of the predictions of people always in the last quarter of the year and maybe they just came up in this idea because of the last bull run that happens last 2017.

For the sake of our investment, it's better to come up with our own research or analysis and do not always based our investment on other ideas or predictions and sometimes it might lead to our big losses and you can even blame some people because you believe to them.

Exactly, that's my point mate :D. They are only predicting — a presumption, a statement without 100% assurance. That's why from the very start I never listened from those people. Yeah I enjoy the possitivity they could bring to the market because sometimes it manifest on the price of coins, however, it's still not advisable to purely depend on them. IMHO, it's much better if you fail because of your da*n decisions rather than failing due from lettimg others to over influence you :).

I always see the development of predictions for the sake of prediction on a Twitter account with a prominent name in the crypto world. but I also do a price analysis and always consider the opinions of Twitter earlier. so I never expected that the prediction was correct, I can calculate and confirm it myself by looking at market conditions. that's what I always do so that I'm not easily fooled or expect anything excessive from the prediction system.

The year 2017 is the reason why people are predicting the last quarter of each year is like a season for the market to recover.

Only investors who dont have better understanding about crypto might believe these experts for predicting the price will increase at the end of the year.

Learn to analyze the situation and dont believe those predictions because its not really accurate because no one knows whats ahead.

The problem is that a lot of the cryptocurrency users are using the past incidents to predict the future. It is true that the fourth quarter have normally witnessed spikes in the cryptocurrency market. This happened in 2013, and again in 2017 (when we reached ATH). But I don't think that it is going to happen every year. A lot of the users have already accumulated coins, in anticipation of the block reward halving. And if something goes wrong, then we may witness a major correction.

It might not always be possible even for the experienced traders to exactly predict the future price for any coin. No one posses that superpower. Most of the predictions are false and misleading which only are meant to attract few newbie investors into these markets and those are the ones who are trapped by buying at a wrong price. What I believe is that we should only trust our own predictions rather than even trusting a experienced guy.

We should never make any investment depending on others decisions because it could make us land up in loss and that individual who redirected us to invest into any coin might make quick profits for himself. Always try to use our own brain before making any investment.

I do not think there is any thing bad in having prediction and market speculations. Atleast it helps keep the hope alive and it give people reasons to share their own opinion on crypto at large. And as you have suggested, it makes perfect sense for individual to do their own findings and build on that. I know there are many people that study the coin history from the graph but I am very sure a lot also do not. All everyone is waiting for is to see the so called bull run just as it has happened in the past.

yep the bitcoin heyday happened in 2017 and it happened after 2016 experiencing halving. many say halving happens once in 4 years and this year will happen halving let's see whether the price of bitcoin goes up or down

They are doing it for a purpose which is called manipulation so they can distract users and make profits for their own by moving the market in other direction.But if people stops being weak hands and keep on holding whenever they see price changes then those predictions might actually become trust so its getting more adopted every years and so the manipulation can be reduced by strong hands.

That is somehow true,

They are trying to manipulate the market by giving a lot of people the idea of making a profit by holding a certain coin until the end of the year. That way, they can increase the demand and the price itself then they can play the market and continuously making a profit from those investors with weak hands.

To be honest, prices can go up and down at any time. So the price predictions going up at the end of the year are completely unfounded, and that's just bullshit predictions. We do not need to care too much about those predictions, just keep watching the market constantly and choose a good time to buy and sell in a short time to be profitable.

It's nothing but just a people who can't prove their claims or just simply throwing unjustified explanations to people and their readers. This is almost like everywhere in my Google search whenever I try to search for "btc to usd" rate. Most of the headlines I read from finance sites were like "BTC heading for $xxxxxx this month", "BTC to push up to 20k next year".  Like I get it that it is gonna encourage people to hold longer, but it just leads those people to their wrong expectation leading to disappointment.

Don't just take peoples' opinions on TA too seriously either; at the end of the day, there's really no good way to predict price action no matter what you do, and if anything doing things independently and on your own will likely yield the best results over time. Everyone thinks differently with price analysis or predictions, and someone's status shouldn't sway your opinion on the matter.

We have seen huge number of predictions predicting huge amount for bitcoins at the end of this year. This is actually because bitcoins are decentralized and never have any limit which makes a lot of people predict the price for bitcoins to an all time high peak which might even not be possible to reach. I have even seen some threads stating that the price for bitcoins would even cross $100,000 by the end of 2020.

This would never be possible and that is the reason why most of the investors gets greedy investing into bitcoins. We should use our own brain. Studying and analyzing some important aspects can make us assume a rough number where bitcoins might settle. Personally speaking, I never got such high number from my calculations. The maximum I can expect bitcoins to touch $18,000 by the end of this year.

In my opinion no one really knows when the price market of certain coin will spike up even experts. Experts only relies on trajectories that the market is giving. It is still depends on traders movements/activities that affects the market volumes and prices of coins in my opinion.

Do your own research should be required include some sort of other peoples opinion as well tho.  Let us say there is a coin that you want to check out and want to research about, maybe you cannot reach every single part of that coins details, you could know the broad general stuff but you may not find the little finer details of that coin.

What you should do is, first do not contact with anyone regarding that coin, do all the research by yourself that you can do but at the end when you know there is nothing you can research anymore, you should ask about the coin towards 2 type of people (to as many people as possible) one is the person who loves it and the other is a person who hates it. That way you get your own research, you get why others love it and you get why others hate it and you can check your research against theirs and see what you should do about it.

It will not harm if you looked at these experts predictions and see how they analyze the market and the future price, the bad thing is you follow their advice blindly without checking the reports if these are legit and not creating your own and compare to them, this is how should things should be.

Instead of waiting for a price surge, you can just keep trading. If you do not yet know how to, this is high time to start. Although, investment is quite different from active trading and if you just prefer to invest, whenever you discover that you have been able to make a reasonable profit, reasonable in the sense that you have about 5-30% profit, depending on amount invested, it will be better for you to just withdraw your profit and continue with the rest. Even this year 2020, nobody can say categorically well, what is likely going to be the end result. We are all looking towards better days.

You're right. I used to have the temerity to listen to other people in choosing coins to invest and entry points to trades. I was very exposed to other people's influence and it wasn't good for me. Therefore, I can say with confidence that it is always worth having your own point of view.

Of course, there is no guarantee that their predictions will happen. They just predict with their knowledge and certain techniques. Then the results will also depend on many factors such as current news or trends on crypto market. So, don't blame them because the predictions are not an absolute determinant. The rest, we must do own research!

Everyone has the right to make a prediction even newbies are predicting prices and sometimes they hit it right, when it comes to a prediction it's up to you who to listen or to follow, the market is very dynamic you never know what's going to happen next, so every prediction can be considered a possibility but not the facts.

all the predictions given you do not have to follow, so if someone predicts coins without proof don't trust, you better analyze your own price movements in the market and often monitor information about developing coins that you want to buy

 this year  more people in our country invest and accepting the alternative crypto currency for safety,the reason is the money that goes out especially for those who touch it is dirty as a result of many diseases that are now prevalent in our country,therefore ,people believe that the value of bitcoin and altcoin it may increase and it will significantly improve..

Don't get your hopes up and remember about what happened that year, because 2017 is a memorable propeller season, but prepare the goals and strategies you use to talk about the future. Although today is still a difficult season, I don't think effort will betray the results

It is very important to note that the 2017 predictors built a terrible reputation for themselves because all their predictions turned out to be false.
Even the most influential and famous cryptocurrency leaders made a mistake in the set of their predictions, which suggests that they are not very worried about the feasibility of their predictions.
Believe only yourself and do not fall for the tricks of media personalities.

I believe a larger number of those in the space know John MacAfee. This man can predict what will likely happen in 10 years' time, unfortunately, most of his predictions get flopped. Well, he might be among those who predicted the rally in 2017 and since then, he thought he had arrived. He had many followers, who believe every bit of word he mentions.
The crypto space has seen a lot of overnight predictors, who call themselves experts and yet could not be justified by half of what they say.
The experience with MacAfee should have thought us lessons, never to believe and hold unto everything you are told.

I won't believe if you say 2017's market will come back. I hope it won't. Because if it will that means market is still to volatile and is not ready for great investments

I honestly don't believe on experts tricks or predictions as most of the time, they were so wrong. What they are doing is just giving hope and encourage those people and boost their interest again. I think it's good but we should not fully rely on their predictions. The truth is no one can exactly forsee what will happen in the future especially the market is so volatile. We should keep on making research so we can create  our own analysis.

This time looks very different from the past year. We have already found the strong fundamental of crypto especially for bitcoin which can make crypto goes to the moon again. It's not so difficult season as the price of crypto has already started to get another bump again. I just try to take the latest chart from the market as the best reason to argue about that.

People and alts are clinging on for December 2017 again, we'll not know whether alts will have another day in the sun until Bitcoin gets back to $20,000.

People love doing prediction, and everyone can do that whether he shares it or to keep it to himself everyone can do that, people do a prediction because people are doing analysis I think it's healthy for a market to do a lot of analysis because the market is very volatile and very dynamic.

Yes, you are absolutely right. How can we wait for around 10-11 months if someone is predicting the BTC or ETH now? Analysis should be done for short durations to check if these are correct or wrong.
The analysis from specific groups, I think it is just to influence the price of that coin. So we should be careful about such an analysis.

The cryptocurrency space is full of manipulations, sometimes the prediction by analyst really don't come true, so it is better for one to study the movement  of the chart and price movement  before investing in any project and so be responsible  for his or her loss, also it is important  to invest what one can bear to loss.

There are more than 10,000 active projects right now to chose from and therefore I would ask what is the necessity to invest in a new project. I don't have anything against investing in these new ones, but the vast majority of them have failed in the recent months. If you ask me, it is not worth taking that much risk under current circumstances.

I'm very optimistic about crypto market on 2020. I'm even waiting for a bull run mid 2020. For me i'm big follower Ethereum and it's blockchain i hope we could see a new ATH price for ETH by 2020. Also i'm waiting for great news for HOX Token which developing own mainnet and partnered with buzzin. I wish best luck for all crypto market but specially for HOX Token.

Yeah you’re right, anyone that wants to be trading cryptocurrencies needs to learn how to analyse the price by themselves and not wait for experts to be doing the work for them. I know for sure that the predictions made most of these experts or influencers for 2018 and 2019 were wrong in every way. I can remember that John McAfee was predicting around $700,000 and not just only him, there were other influencers that did the same and some of them even made ridiculous price predictions like $2 million and $1 million.

But after everything, we reached the end of 2018 and 2019 and none of those were true. McAfee then came out to say that Bitcoin is the worst cryptocurrency because it didn’t go according to his predictions lol. I wonder how much he would have bought of BTC and stored in a wallet so he could make profit and at the end he’s pissed that his plans never worked out.

Sadly but true many people have fell to the words of those guys and many are still falling for it. They tend to believe because they are "experts" without knowing that they might be doing it because they were paid for it or they were trying to achieve something. Nothing beats self research, even after hearing from them it very important to make self research then comparing the results to see it adds up. By now we should learn to make the right decisions to save ourselves unnecessary losses.

If people can learn price charts perfectly then everybody will be a winner in crypto space, it's impossible to read charts perfectly and most times that's why predictors do fails, let's stop hoping for something that might never happen and instead stay focus on earning on daily basis through trading

well even though using that method to find out the price movements of cryptocurrency can not be guessed easily from the charts created everything is inaccurate because cryotcurrency price movements depend on the interaction between buyers and sellers, the income you can get when you trade daily and it will provide a very high risk.

Don't ever listen to any "expert" or public person with his valuable opinion. That means absolutely nothing. Zero information. Sometimes these guys are right and you see some surprising predictions as result. But remember that sometimes you see lottery winners also. Some of them were lucky enough, but are they experts? Will they win again?

I prefer to see the content or posts of an expert who uses price charts so I can study them too, I no longer believe if someone says a high prediction without analysis. Enough when 2018 to 2019 I believed all of these things, and 1 more enjoy all the processes that occur and keep calm down :D

Why everyone still complaining, Bitcoin is the most profitable asset, much better than SPP 500 index, it earned 300% per year to investors, what more you expect?

I wasted two years following crypto experts and pros but the truth is they are never professionals in the field, they've been wrong many times until I stop trusting them and start trusting myself instead, do your own research and adjust as you go, you will end up finding your own way and it will favour you

In my opinion, the analysis has the possibility of right or wrong. I agree if we ourselves must always research every sector in crypto by always referring to studying price charts. but sometimes also what is predicted by experts is true even though it is not 100%. the thing we need to do is continue to study graphics and good strategies for investing in Bitcoin or altcoin.

Yes, and it is very clear that in this world there is nothing we can trust but ourselves, because relying on other people on a job clearly will not maximize us for the better, so it is very appropriate that we must continue to study and make research on we want, both in crypto and in others.

In 2018 end of the year price prediction didn't work.I don't know why people mark last month of the year,is it trend or something else.I always try to mark maximum 3 to 6 months.also I don't follow any prediction sometimes people make prediction so high which is really not going to happen.every trader should use his own analysis.

Agree that we must conduct our own research and use the opinions of others as second opinions. 2017 is indeed the best year for the cryptocurrency market and I think it's natural that people expect that to happen again. Hopefully with Bitcoin halving, the crypto market will be excited again and altcoin can rise in price

If we can trust ourselves, it will better than to trust other people. We can search for something that we want to know because if we only believe and follow other people without searching for those things, we can get a problem if they don't give real information. In the crypto world, people trying to provide an opinion or analysis about the market, but only some of them know what happens with the market. So if you want to know more about something, you need to search for yourself.

A lot of people also have been doing research lately just to predict bitcoin's price, so that they could have a successful trade or for them to know when will they sell or buy bitcoin. It's true that a lot of people have made a great prediction every end of the year, that is why a lot of people have been holding their crypto just to wait for it's price to increase more.

You're right! You always need to build your plans and conduct your analytics. To trust everything they say means to entrust your money and luck to others. Those who say that by the end of the year we will see one or another cryptocurrency price initially deceive us, since they themselves do not know what and how it will be. So be careful and always rely only on yourself.

I agree. If we do really want to expect something to happen at the end of the year or throughout the year, better be observant on your own by always looking up into the price behavior of the certain coin you do want to observe with by keep on track with its price chart to see the latest and time to time changes on the price. Any people can do their own price prediction on any coin. But if we do want not to be disappointed on having too much expectations, better do our own research and observation and do not always be reliant on what the famous people say because it is just their own opinion and perspective towards what will be the price outcome at the end of the year. Well, there can be a lot of contributing factors to be considered that affects the price movement that makes the price prediction most of the time to be failed leaving all of is disappointed because of too much expectations. We just need to let the flow of price movement get into its normal phase and not to expect that much since there can be hindrances in the way that can affect the process to turn into our expectations. So to avoid much disappointments, better not to expect too much and just let the things running into its own way and just hope that everything will be favorable to what we desire.

I wanna inform that the all crypto currency investors that would be a important matter for investing. because there are the a little amount risk behind the end of the last year. I strongly believe that , cryptocurrency market is stable now, because of that the previous bloody moment was like a panic issue for me, I would love to get back my wealth by reinvestment. Have a great wishes for all crypto man.

That must be tagged as a global advice now since most of us give this advice to every other person on this forum and I guess on other platforms too.
Most of us will agree to this and obviously it is always better to do our own research rather than believing some other person on the internet.
People like free money and don't wanna do any hardwork and hence fall for the words of other traders.
Instead of regretting later people should try to put in some efforts and research for themselves and get the required information.
I am quite sure people will be able to make better judgements of they do the research themselves and also the outcome of it would get better each day.

People should know better but they are too lazy, it is way easier for them to look around and look for the opinion of so called experts and do what they say or at least have expectations aligned with what they say, and that is because they believe that is the easiest way to make money in the markets when in fact we know that is the easiest way to lose money in the markets, anyone that wants to make money needs to come up with his own strategy otherwise he will always depend on strangers to make important economic decisions for him and that is not really a healthy way to grow your capital at all.

very interesting indeed if we hear experts say the end of the year is sacred to cryptocurrencies, it may or may not be right, the history of Bitcoin says, at the end of 2016 Bitcoin increased from $ 200 to $ 400, at the end of 2017 from $ 400 to $ 18000 this is incredible, at the end of 2018 Bitcoin has decreased dramatically to $ 3000, and at the end of 2019 prices have risen to $ 7000, a good investment in my opinion, of course if someone understands the long-term market movements in 2017-2018 it must have taken profits, even though bad situation happened

at least, it makes little sense, because at the end of 2017 the price increase is very hig it would be natural for the price to fall the following year.
but in 2019 the price went up again, says that the forecast is a little correct.in fact, you need to make your own predictions, but listening to other people's predictions doesn't hurt either, as long as you can make wise decisions about it.

Cryptocurrency market always in suitable condition. I am quite sure people will be able to make better judgments it's prefer to invest always. but end of the year all of the market take a brake for their alignment if business purpose. I think it not a matter , stay with this.

No one knows what will happen tomorrow, anything can happen . Talking about crypto market doing your own research for investing in any particular coin , even than market can get good / worse . Optimistic thoughts will be much better for this year. keep some trust. :)

I think, it's too much risky to invest this year because lot's of people are in deepresed they don't know how this year will go, several types of issue we faced in this year in world, Corona virus effected people's body, mind and financial market. peoples are afraid about there import/export and lot's of several businesses. they don't want to invest this year. Finally, I'm not agree to get coin this month.

The golden rule in crypto: nobody knows the future and if yes, he won´t tell you.  ;) Everything is about profit, so when big names and medias are positive, you can be ready for big drop - because they need someone who buy the top  :D 8).

Actually it's just a prediction and because it was right at a time because of some factors doesn't mean it will be right in other times because factors will change. This is why other times hasnt been like the previous and things have been going down since then. Depending on what you want to do at the end of the year but before the year ends you can make good profit with trading and proper invesment.

The state of the economy in today's world is bad.  But the crypto is stable now.  It is slowly growing day by day.  Hopefully Bitcoin will grow by 50-60% by the end of the year.

One thing that is usually prominent at the end of the year is that, everyone across the world wants to spend more money (fiats) during the christmas period, new year, and also the Chinese new year. This is what leads to so many hodlers taking profits, to enable them use fiats for their celebrations.

But it happened last year does not mean it will happen this year as well, and apart from learning price chart, i think understanding chart flow is also a very important factor.

I totally agree with your comments. No one knows where prices will go. In my opinion, you should equip yourself with in-depth knowledge about trading. Then, you analyze the trading chart and make your own judgment to make the right decisions when trading. I believe you will earn a lot of profit trading in this cryptocurrency market.

Yes, it is totally unpredictable. In fact, you may not know the next gives of whales because they are the market price determines. If they want a fall, they can initiate it. If they want a rise, they know how to get it done. It might just take some time, but you cannot beat them by it.
What will happens at the later part of this year, even the whales themselves do not know yet, but they just take certain steps, hoping to see it turn out well.

at the end of 2017, the price of all coins rose so high and it became a lot of benchmarks for traders who invest long-term, but because in 2018-2019 the price of coins didn't rise. so many traders turned to investments in the short-term and some sell all their assets because the crypto market didn't go up like the end of 2017. so for now, we still have to keep up the spirits and analyze the crypto market for every time

yup! i also totally agree with what you say. indeed we should not trust all the news that is spread, we should make our own predictions and assess the benefits we will get.

No problem, if you want to see and listen to the opinions of others, but we must do some research before accepting their opinions. i also prefer to follow the analysis that i made myself.

It seems like there aren't many investors who invest in cryto like 2017, halving bitcoin also doesn't make much influence on prices, I hope that in the future bitcoin prices can rise like 2017 even though for now it's difficult

Stable? I dont see it stable or have a really slow movement aside from the stablecoins. Bitcoin is highly volatile and we can always assume that its price will not stay as it is and will probably go down and up. I watched how this market moves from bull to bear and vice versa, record shows that bitcoin investment is highly speculated and more risk than any stocks investment. There are lots of opinion here, but we must have our own understanding of the market. Right now, its going up on good rate, but lets not just jump to conclusion of possible bull run.
