Corona, FED, dump, stocks crash, BTC -50%, wtf? ... uncharted waters .. what are you traders up to? Quarantined and looking at charts?

The FED is doing everything they can to save the economy but in my opinion the crash will leave circumstances. This officially is a big crisis. I am keeping my portfolio on hold not selling anything. Btc, eth, neo, bnb, link, nwc, bat. Maybe even buying more, being greedy when there is blood on the streets

it's a good decision you have to make. Hold a portfolio and don't sell anything if it is very detrimental. The market is indeed not good due to the Corona pandemic. If you have spare money, you can buy or add some Btc, Eth and other coins.
Nowadays many people panic when BTC goes down to -50% and commit stupidity with CutLoss.

Even many who do such things may be amateur traders or investors who cut-loss when the blood is facing the market, I think they are already already but for a strong soul in holding a few coins in your portfolio like that must be maintained until the market is really recover maybe we will wait in a few months or a maximum of 1 year.

@taufik123 is correct if there is a reserve fund then this is the right time to buy and store it in a cold wallet and then check again in the next few months.

There's nothing like a "guaranteed investment"  :D Otherwise we'd all be rich by now.

With increasing regulation, I'm SURE a LOT of people will be sick and tired of doing KYC on centralized exchanges, more over, a lot of us care about our privacy when trading, so I'm SURE a lot of people will start to adapt to DEX's, which is what I believe will be the next big thing.
Remember Kucoin and COSS? Exploded in 2017 on the premise of "passive income" from the fees associated with their exchange.

Today, we've got DEX's with a similar structure. Blocknet is a good example of a project I've got my eyes on, as if you run a node (5000 coins required), you can profit from the trading fees on the DEX, which could make you a healthy passive income in the future, I'm sure.

Indeed the perfect time to fill in our bags, everything is on sale right now and soon or later, people will start looking into crypto.

The only investment i would shill is gold, and real estate :D
OR both!

I'm really hopefully for the following projects tho:
- ADA
- LINK
- ENJ

Imo, we still did not hit bottom, this whole thing has just started...

holding tight to my BAT, NWC and KAVA coins hehe

Although it is not the bottom price, we can still buy many coins, especially bitcoin and the other potential coins and hold it until the price increase. Yes, many people panic because of the down of the market, but they cannot do anything except cut loss their asset and buy back at a lower price or hold their asset for temporary. That is a choice, and we need to know the risk before we decide. However, this market will not stay at the bottom forever because someday, the market will start to recover.

I am holding to my ETH and NWC dearly. Selling now would be the wrong move if u ask me. if anything, now is the time to buy. Find yourself a good credible project with a product behind their coin or token and go for it. Corona will pass and the market will bounce back. Also, maybe a good time to look for projects that offer staking or holders events.

There is this saying I read about the more you care about the things you cannot control, the more you will lose control.

Nobody can keep tabs on the crazy economic situation now with the banking and finance systems so rotten inside. You can put more money to cover it up but the collapse is waiting. Bitcoin is ready.

Common mistake on where people do sell off when the market dumps and when its rising then that the time they do buy on.Instead on of panicking then its better to hold on your position
rather than cutting losses just because you do think that prices would go to 0 which wont really ever happen.If those funds invested arent needed then its just total nonsense for you to sell cheap.
Recovery is there but no one knows on when but it will surely happen.

Trying out to look for bottom? Theres no precise thing on predicting it but somewhat we can presume depending on a certain trader/investors view on a particular moment.
Guaranteed investment doesnt exist yet everything would really be like a gamble.If you dont risk something then you wont earn nothing.

unfortunately what i am do right now just watching without joining. on this time , the market is seems recovered,but somehow, i am not really sure this is a good time for joining, i just speculate its no more than FOMO. i mean u dare to join this crazy disaster ? at least wait for 2 weeks more for next month.

Nothing, just ignoring the market and wait for the dip before buying. I manage to buy at -50% sale on ZEN LTC and ETH.

Bought some satoshis for the future pumps. Fed cashing out is good for bitcoins economy, centralized shite exiting once more.

I feel sorry for the people that panic selling when the fed crash bitcoin though.

Guaranteed investment? What do you mean by that? Is it for quick bucks or something that can be used in the future? If just the question alone, I will just go with tops coins, maybe, BTC and ETH or even BNB, nothing more nothing less but considering factors you better check those at the bottom and that can be useful and can bring profit once everything (issues are fixed) is fine.

See how much bitcoins a few days ago and how much it is right now. If you see bitcoin at its very low price, buy it and don't be double-minded as you buy.
Playing from $5900 - $6300 today.

The problem is we wouldn't know if it is the lowest it could get.
Sometimes when I buy some the price keeps on going down.
It always have a risk even if we buy it at a low price.
And I don't really get why others are asking to shill them some coins and there is no guaranteed investment like what I've mention earlier everything have a risk.

In crypto world? Bitcoin. You do not get as guaranteed income as bitcoin, it doesn't drop as much as the other ones and it is also goes up very well as well, it is not going to make you 10x for sure, it is a coin at best gives you x3 and that is on the greats increase of the year, normally you are lucky if you can manage a 2x, now those look like great numbers but compared to some other coins that makes 10x it may look small but the difference is bitcoin also doesn't drop 80% all that easily whereas the other coins could drop like that in an instant.

So, if you want a "guaranteed" one you should go with bitcoin for sure, there is nothing as better as that one. If you really want to pick an altcoin, I would say ethereum looks like it will be good.

I'm going to have to go with this too. There's no such thing as guaranteed, of course, but if you have to pick one to put your diversification into crypto, it's got to be Bitcoin.

It's not going to x10 (though at today's price it will at some point in the future) and maybe the more obvious x10 choices right now are ETH or LTC or even Ripple, but yeah. Bitcoin is the only thing that'll stand solid after this blows over.

BTC -50%, not anymore.. Bitcoin has been very unpredictable, it usually on the opposite of majority's expectation.

With the corona virus spread, majority are thinking that bitcoin will dump even more, but  it's not anymore, it has slowly recovered from its dump, the lowest was around $4600 if I am not mistaken but now it's already trading at $6700, will be $7000 in the next few days.

thats a good news if btc is recovering , btc recovering means other coins have a chance to recover too .

 that is true that the more we expect the value will rise the more the value will go down , its like there is someone that is playing with our emotions but i also think that is part of the btc characteristic because btc was volatile too  .

no need to shill for now but for me the same old coins are still the best  .

As you said, the price of Bitcoin is unpredictable, and for the future the predictions are divided exactly in half.
After such a big drop in price, correction is normal. However, in my opinion, few people will be interested in investing in cryptocurrencies when the deadly virus spreads around the world, the economy is falling apart and price increases due to a deficit of goods and food are certain. I think most people will decide to keep their savings in cash, and in the following weeks cryptocurrency prices will continue to fall. At least until we take control of the virus.

Nothing in life is "guaranteed", but I'd say Blocknet is a pretty solid investment right now. Bottomed out. Their key product right now is their DEX, which they are known the most for. Hold 5000 Block and cash in on the DEX trading fees long term, pretty damn cool.

What most people don't know is that their XRouter/XBridge is where the real excitement is, as it's basically their own Infura and Decentralized Oracle Network, which will be able to communicate with all blockchains and real world applications.

You'll be able to cash in on these as well if you run a node.

Bitcoin is trying to increase again but for those traditional market like stock exchange and oil price haven't tried to back to original price before the crash came. The problem  now is, the people are worried to corona virus and many countries have done the same thing to lockdown their country which I think it has gave a bad thinv for their economic system. As an example in my country, the people worried and made the money fiat decreased and they tried to safe money fiat into bitcoin IMO. So, seeing the chart is better then seeing corona virus update it will make have a bad health.

has been very stressful and very sad days. It is painful to see that many people are dying and being infected because certain governments did not have the courage to do what was right and some people also did not have the courage to do what was right. I'm not doing trade, because I don't have a lot of concentration at the moment, I still do some other things like doing a post here, watching movies and series because I want to avoid being on the street. But I can't stop being worried about all this

I think it's impossible to call the bottom until afterwards. Everything is so crazy right now. Look at that monster drop we had when this all started. Yes there has been a bit of a recovery across bitcoin and alts, but the market is still incredibly jittery. It won't take much to set off a panic chain reaction. I would advise people to stay away from trading right now unless they want to take a huge gamble. Prices can drop by double digit figures in a matter of hours.

It's easy to see big movements both ups and downs once there's decent amount of money that will flow inside the market. If you don't have any
spare money to use then better to stay away, you'll need to be ready and have a good budget for this market sentiments.

It is still too early for us to make judgments about bitcoin. The current situation is much worse than before so it is likely that bitcoin will continue to collapse in the near future. I am still waiting for Bitcoin to go below $ 4,000 again in April, before halving starts

Not everyone is making a profit at this condition but it's true that you can do trade and make money from crypto even when you are in Quarantined! The bottom is not this but we can say Bitcoin at 3800 USD was the latest bottom! Therefore, some altcoins are doing very good, you can check the top gainers from the Coinmarketcap website! My guaranteed investments are Chainlink, Tezos, Ethereum, BNB and OKB coins! I am damn sure these coin's price will increase by x3-x5 when the market condition turns into good!

The impact of the corona is indeed very large for the development of the price of this crypto money, the price becomes very low. but precisely this is a good opportunity for us to have as many coins as investment capital. and after the hard times have passed, then we feel the fruits of the results of this investment
 

Being in a position and condition that was never wanted at all will be very difficult to make a choice, between surviving or releasing because we do not know for sure when this pandemic will end while until now the vaccine to treat the corona virus has not been found with the outbreak this also has a very negative impact on the world economy if there is no income it will be very difficult to maintain crypto assets.

Bitcoin always recovers, we can always check its history and be amaze on its journey.

I can't understand why there are still people who will easily panic when bitcoin dump, it's necessary that they fully educate themselves before investing so they'll prevent themselves in making a bad decision, getting easily panic is a bad decision and usually it will bring loses to investors and this is what the whales like to see, as they call this easy money, let us not allow them to do that.

Many happens right now and number one is the corona virus , we don't know if our investment is going to grow or it will still continue losing . Many people are connect this of the dumping of the cryptocoins but there is no specific data if it's really cause.

I hope our investment is safe right now and no dumping will happen again because many people will panic and expect another dump again butI think the  barriers of the bitcoin is very strong .

Blocknet - The Internet Of Blockchains
I recently digged deep into this project, since I got extremely interested in DEX's since they seem to be on everyones agenda lately. To my surprise I discovered that Blocknet is WAY more than just a simple "DEX".
Their Xrouter is what caught my interest:

Blocknet's XRouter which makes it possible to build decentralized apps using features from any public or private blockchain, will serve as the foundation for multi-blockchain architectures and the “Internet of Blockchains”. XRouter was designed from the ground up to provide interoperability with ANY and ALL blockchains.

Sounds familiar doesn't it? You can read more about it here:  https://blocknet.co/xrouter-missing-link-between-all-blockchains/

When comparing Blocknet's Xrouter to Chainlinks Oracles an interesting thing caught my attention!
The  XRouter can serve billions of requests per day like Infura (who is doing over 20 billion/day).  If each call averages out to about 0.001 BLOCK/call, then that's about $1,000,000 going to the active service nodes. If 100 is running it equals to $10,000/day per service node that the XRouter pulls in based off a tiny 0.001 BLOCK call at $0.70.

LINK charges 0.1/call which is 0.23 cents, which is quite expensive compared to BLOCK.
I'm not saying LINK is a trash project, but it sure seems hyped up when you've got a project doing the exact same thing  in a far more decentralized fashion with a 1/200 of the marketcap,  while having the first working DEX running at the same time.

Gold? Peter Schiff?  ;D
ADA and LINK yes, dont' know much about ENJ so can't say.
I'm openly shilling NWC, made 40% in a week - opening staking in KuCoin with 15% ROI in 90 days, best coin in my portfolio nowadays.

Well said. My case, holding BTC but love to experiment with other coins bcs i just don't have the capital to expect big gains from btc - don't say leverage bcs i read to many bad stories on it. Those 10x made good money and the stop-loss is there to prevent those 80% drops.

Being greedy in times like this, isn't a bad thing though. Well, don't get me wrong, what I am pointing out is the greed to buy more on the market knowing that sooner, once everything been settled, and seemed to be fine market will start showing up good signs. Hence, you can sell what you bought down below, more profit. With such move, you have at least took equally, mght even more on the amount of what you have loss when market's got messed up. Well, holding is fine but investing or buying more is better since there is still a progress even though stuff gets pretty bad.

Did you wanna try an investment that gives you passive income too? i thought that some people have already suggested tezos and it's also a good coin too. In my opinion you can start with some on top 20 CMC. That gives you more gaurantee on liquidity, reputation and usefulness.

This epidemic will last for a very long time and people should not go out without anything needed. I really want covid-19 to end soon because my current job is being affected a lot and making me feel more tired because my income source is starting to run out. Of course, I still trade but recently the market has been very volatile and it is difficult for things to return to normal.

now lockdown makes people forced to work from their homes. so, I think the level of the number of traders will increase. besides, exchanging all the assets we have for cash right now is not good enough. even though we need money, I think changing your assets to a maximum of 30% for your needs. moreover, an increase is likely to occur, although that is not guaranteed.

i think you are capable enough to stand still in this crisis and that is good for you and your Holdings but the problem is those who are starting to struggle for life now and has no other option but to release their Holdings.

I am on your same position but if there us a scenario that i need to sell?well that is what i will do and nothing can stop me even my own greediness in Bloody market .

I am also thinking about the boom of cryptocurrency nowadays since I saw some headlines about digital currencies like there is some countries that are urging this. Since fiat or cash could be the bridge for the virus to infect such people.
Like what I saw in this article: Australians advised to ditch cash for cards to curb Coronavirus spread (https://mozo.com.au/credit-cards/articles/australians-advised-to-ditch-cash-for-cards-to-curb-coronavirus-spread).
If people will start not to use cash, then there are possibilities people will use cryptocurrencies, and that's good news for the cryptocurrency community.

Many economic events that occur at this time, including the decline in the price of the various types of Altcoin that exist. but I see that development has begun to improve. of course this is the hope of all of us

the market has indeed begun to improve. but we cannot expect too much. stay focused because the state of the world economy is also still not stable. there is a possibility that everything will collapse again, so don't be hasty and make your analysis this time.

Well, we can't say "always" recovers, it usually recovers and known to recover pretty quickly as well but there are quite obvious 2 numbers that it hasn't recovered that everyone knows. One is 2017 peak time when it was 20k and it never recovered to that number ever again, the second one is 13-14k it happened last year that it still hasn't recovered.

So, basically there is not really a proof that it "always" recovers, it usually recovers but not always. Given enough time I think it will recover to those levels as well, it will definitely go above both 14k and 20k one day, but it hasn't done that yet, it has been over 2 years from the 20k and it never really got close neither. I am not saying it won't, trust in bitcoin and its future, but also do not be blind to it neither.

   In a fact Bitcoin missed to recover to previous ATH, but with time that will happen and will be able to
say definitely that Bitcoin always recover it's previous top. Many of us wait that moment, and much
higher prices.
   We can count that all crypto-currencies will recover. Bitcoin and Ethereum are will before others, but
there are other good projects too. It's clear that this are hard times, and projects that survive this will
get stronger and they will have chance to change the future.

I believed you totally lack the knowledge about bitcoin investment because there's time for everything and no experienced investors will proudly expect bitcoin price to have reach it previous ATH now not even to mention the effect of the pandemic which affected every market setting around the world.

US markets are collapsing and many country are still suffering from a big loss so it is still possible for a big dump before we can that crypto is rising again. There’s no guaranteed investment and we have to continue searching for a way to earn despite of the trend, bitcoin can rise again but we can’t tell the exact time for that, maybe if more countries will start to print more money, then bitcoin see a good signal to go up again.

Nothing dumps forever as we looked on the current condition of crypto market which is slowly recovering but other traditional markets are still on reds.

I cant say that the bottom was in 3800+ yet we arent still far way into that level but lucky for those who bought to those prices yet getting almost 100% gain
on a short span of time.

Bottom in? or guaranteed investment? Theres no such thing but all matter if you do risk up to buy when everything is on red.

Of course there is. We cant always lean towards a green market. A collapse could happened any minute now so just be cautious when dealing on trading. Everyone knows that the volatility plays a major role with addition of some manipulation by some whales of the market. Yeah, this is really bad reason but this is it. We must accept that there are those who have funds that can play the strings of the market up and down. But good thing is, they never always win the game. As fundamental sometime naturally act on its own.

It's a matter of time that btc and other currencies will bounce back again especially if you are going to check the market as the prices are starting to move upward now from it's hard crash. If there will be no dump again then it was the bottom as -50% is a hard dump.

But traders know how follow the flow of the market, I am pretty many of them have cut their losses and recover their profit by buying again after the hard dump that happened. Guaranteed investment will only occur if you are planning to hold for a long term one especially that btc will not lost it's value easily as it will surely bounce back right after the crash.

Everything is bouncing pretty nicely.

Right now my portfolio looks like this

25% Ethereum (waiting on eth 2.0)
25% Bitcoin (hedging for my riskier investments)
25% BAND (rumors of korean exchange listing)
25% Creditcoin (Recently invested in by Coinbase, y combniator, just announched OKEX listing)

   Clearly you didn't understand me, I didn't say I expect recovery now, I say I expect it in the future.
When will it happen nobody knows, but like everyone else I have my own opinion.
   I am long-term investor. Maybe I lack in knowledge, but I have faith, and it's why I invest and hold,
I believe in the future of crypto-currency, I believe that's future, you can disagree if you want, but
that doesn't change anything.

I study, watch technical analysis lectures, and trade a little, but very carefully. Because no one knows what tomorrow can bring. As for the bottom, I'm not sure, but I really want to believe it. And if we are talkig about guaranteed investment in crypto (laughing loud) I can only advise Bitcoin)

 not shilling just sharing information

Check out Creditcoin.
