Bitcoin Forum

Pheww sigh I can't believe there is still more selling than buying at these price levels.  What is going on?  Are people still selling because of fear of Craig White and bchsv or has the difficulty in bitcoin dropped.  Investors have gone out of their minds to be selling altcoins when they are down 90 to 99 percent.

I wouldn't say "nobody is buying them".  But I am sure a number of people are waiting for a likely bottoming out in price when they should be buying a certain amount every month regardless of price.

you have very wrong idea about crypto and crypto market, my friend!

Still have people see the potential of bitcoin and cryptocurrency. i still join and stay with crypto world. The one who can hold and wait, i'm sure they will be rich soon. Just wait.

You are wrong there are many buy orders for bitcoin but it is just a minimal compared to those who sell their bitcoins. Probably those who sell bitcoin are huge holders for bitcoin and definitely had move the market price as seen in the coinmarketcap.com website. For now just continue to believe and risk everything if you wish to earn more in the near future.

Nobody is buying? I'm not sure if you are just blindly looking at the exchanges buy/sell orders. If nobody is buying right now then the price won't even stay @ $4,800. Don't have that misunderstanding that just because the prices are going down, you'll estimate that no one is buying.

Every dip, there's a lot of buy orders that are having this signal on when they should start buying. Investors aren't gone of their minds if they are selling out of panic, they are rushing just to sustain their losses and this is the normal scenario when plummet triggers.

don't worry, i bought some and keep it on my hard wallet. i want to sleep along time year. and when i am open my eye, bitcoin price become to $20K and buy some lambos

People that panic like you are the reason why we're on this stage. Calm down and just keep using crypto. Bitcoin along with altcoins will only die when we stop believing and using them.

I am one of the most bullish in this sector as they come. I am all in cryptocurrency. I am heavily in cryptocurrency related stocks and in my ira. I even started margin on poloniex a few months ago, but I am getting deeper in the red.

why are you surprised? it is still expensive to buy crypto now as compared to 2 years ago. prices were inflated,  now they are correcting and there is no limit of how LOW they can go , don't get me wrong i am sure they will go pass ATH but not soon, the worse is yet to come. 3500-4000 is very likely the best scenario for this major correction in my opinion.

And I have done what I could to support cryptocurrency. I
Commented twice on the Sec board to help approve the CBOE ETF.  On October 11 and July 11

Aaaah, the capitulation.
Keep 'em coming.

Nobody is buying , because they all expect the price to go much lower,
and if it goes to low, they won't buy because the coin network could fail if certain prices are not maintained.

A Dead coin network is worth nothing to anyone.

FYI:
The Bch Hash war is affecting btc greatly as it's hash rate is also dropping.

It still seems to be waiting for a lower decline, still thinking prices will fall again. Since capital has not been collected, it cannot be bought yet. Actually, you want to buy, but the capital is minimal, who knows the price of btc will turn again so that there is enough capital to collect btc. Hhh ...

Believe it buddy. There's the period of buying, don't you remember last year? Prices were going up and up and up and still people were buying. We had useless tokens selling for so much, tokens nobody was using but were selling like hotcakes. And now this is the period of selling, where nobody cares about the value, they are just following the lemmings and selling because they are afraid. Get used to it :)

When last have you checked the buy orders on the exchanges? There are a lot of people buying at the moment, but the price is determined by two factors, which is supply and demand. The problem is that more people are selling than people who are buying and that is pushing the price down.

When people like CW and Roger Ver starts to flush money <BTC> down the drain to fuel their ego, then you see a situation like this. They provide the spark to light the panic fire. Remember these people never sold their initial BTC when there was a fork, they just held on to it. <They got an equal amount of FREE BCash coins, so they did not even have to buy their hoard of BCash>  ??? ::)

I think you are wrong my friend because your statement is wrong, many people are buying bitcoins and making good profit but now it has little bit decrease in price. and this is also good time to buy coins.

Bitcoin cash caused the current crash most likely and I don't think we will see any kind of reversal for quite sometime now. Every coin and token is crashing hard and it looks like Bitcoin may go down to the $3k level while Ethereum may go below $100 before this year ends. 2018 has proven to be the complete opposite of 2017 clearly which is why I would avoid investing any amount into this volatile market for the rest of this year. Everyone are looking forward to 2019. Hoping for a lot of positive news so that the market can rally again in some form or another.

I will like you to show us evidence to proof that nobody is buying cryptocurrency. No matter how low the price is so many are seeing it as a golden opportunity to buy. This is opportunity that will never come back again.

Shitcoins dont store value.

Bitcoin is being devalued currently and will decline while the shitcoin holder's go broke.

Then Bitcoin will have money coming in again by people that want to store value in a decentralized protocol with limited supply.

People "investing" in shitcoins will continue to leave while they lose money and the scammers that sold them shitcoins go broke or hide from authorities.

There is no value in shitcoins because they aren't bitcoin.

I think the investors have already immersed capital from the start, so that it can happen like this, now this might be a new player and with new capital bought at a cheap price and immediately selling when it rises just a little. For old investors, they must look for new capital or sell at cheap prices.

This is going to shock you ,

but bitcoin is not a store of value either, that was always nonsense.

btc is just a coin , it has no magic powers, it can die like any other.   8)


FYI:
If it was a store of value, where is the rest of that $20000, that it used to be worth, hmm?

Nobody gives af what the SEC does. If we can buy and sell bitcoin around the world, bitcoin is working just fine.

An ETF doesn't speed up the onramps and offramps for users that want a decentralized store of value anyone can own around the world.

ETF's let morons pay fee's to bankers purchasing bitcoin and giving their "profits" based on their gains or losses?

Who the fuck wants that when they can buy bitcoin and hodl themselves?  Here Mr Banker, can you hodl my private keys and let me have a bit of your profits? LOL

If you don't understand the difference between an ERC20 token and bitcoin, posting here won't help you learn that.

Reading will.

Rather than argue with someone about the difference in value proposed between the two (hint: one is designed to securely store value and send transactions, without the need of 3rd parties --  the other is shit), leave Murad Mahmudov and his discussion regarding the value proposition as a primer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMK_A0mF8PQ

There are more than subtle differences between a blockchain that has 10 years worth of securely storing and transferring value between people without the need for 3rd parties and a blockchain that has been created by noobs trying to ride the "crypto" craze.

Like any market buy low sell high :)

No Serious , where is the so called store of value of the $20000 that btc used to be worth.

Anyone that lost over $13000 on 1 btc at the peak definitely thinks btc is a Shitcoin.

Delusions that a declining asset stores value , well is pure nonsense as the dropping price proves.  ;)

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/storeofvalue.asp

The market downturn in cryptocurrencies has led to a decline in trading volume!
Both buyers and sellers are struggling! At present, the market turnover rate is so low, and the overall market recovery is difficult in the short term.

Of course investors are still buying bitcoin but the problem is that we have been overwhelmed by sellers at this point that's why the price continue to plummet. I'm not sure though if this has something to do with BCHSV if it is, then it we could be dragged by their ongoing war but I'm sure that we will bounce back. As I have said before, investors are getting smarter now, there's no FOMO as compare to last year, but a this point, there's no need to panic sell though. Sooner or later this will be over because everyone will realized that Ver and Craig Wright has played us all along and nobody will support their coins.

Did somebody buy bitcoin (https://www.bestbitcoinbuyers.com/) last year that they needed their fiat within 1 year? That would be a little irresponsible and rather stupid.

Most people only invest money they don't need for 5-10 years into something like a new asset class. It has to be volatile while it is disrupting financial regulators and banks "usual" business of overcharging customers for sending money, foreign exchange and stock trading.

Anyone believing that a new asset class doesn't come with volatility needs to have their head checked. Greedy people trying to make a quick buck off something that will be re-assessed for value over another 10 years aren't going to like it.

People who believe the technology is going to change the world and want to start using it before the masses can benefit from it are fine with buying heavy on the dips and less as the price increases.

We haven't even hit a floor yet with this drop, if it hits $1k, that's going to only be slightly higher than a of us got in at in 2016.

yes, the hash battle between BCHABC and BCHSV isn't over yet, I think this battle will run for a long time, it's difficult to predict. and that will make bitcoin fall even deeper.

now is not a good time to buy bitcoin, sell or trade. we have to wait until the battle end. and in my opinion, hold is our choice today.

The point to something being a store of value, Means it does not have Extreme Volatility!

Btc is now and forever will be a speculative value, (price fluctuates with speculation)

Btc has not and never will be a store of value.  8)


FYI:
Rich investors that are well off and buy investments with a 5 year or longer time frame,
reading these forums you can tell the majority are not rich as waiting a month without a price increase upsets them,
the reason is they are not well off and they are looking to btc to change that, which sadly for most it will not.

You are wrong, I am currently buying some top 10 crypto which have the worst price decline
I am very happy with this moment to increase my income
just waiting when the market recovers, I will get enough profit to be able to buy my family a fancy meal and give street beggars food too

Most of them selling their coins because they want to save the value of their assets, and until the time when the price reaches its "oversold" I'm sure they will buy it back with a cheaper price.

And what will you do when the price continues to decline and 4 years have passed with no improvement.

What happens if the coins you invested in, networks die, and you lose all of your investment?

Are you under the false impression that you are guaranteed to get a profit, because you're not.

There is a lot more coin competition that their was years ago, the top 10 coins may not even be in the top 100 next year.

One thing you need to understand is that we're approaching  festive period, and holiday is coming anything can happen.
It's better to take what you have now, than wait for BTC @ $10k, and for those that are  busy crashing down the cryptocurrency markets, I believe they are enjoying the adventure!
There's is a reason for everything, and there's something to learn in every nonsense.

Only the smart ones are buying now when the market is down. Most sheeple will buy when the market is up and pumping, hence there are fewer millionaires than regular people

Then the smart ones don't have any money , because the markets are still dropping.  :P


Maybe the smarter ones are selling and waiting to buy back when it is even cheaper.

Everyone who bought bitcoin under $4,000 has stored their value quite well in it then....

To be clear that is anyone who bought or earned bitcoin between January 2009 and October 2017 (8 years and 10 months) that can sell their bitcoin for the same amount or much higher amount than they purchased or earned bitcoin at originally.

The fact that speculators with hedge fund dollars came into it last year, does not change the fact that it is a decentralized store of value that can be owned by anyone around the world. If you have stored your money from one nations currency in bitcoin and then move or travel to another country, you can still remove the equal amount in another nations currency without needing 3rd parties involved.

This doesn't happen with national currencies for large amounts of money easily or for free. National currencies printed by central banks need to "stay in the system" and be tracked by the central bankers and government.

Some of us are more than willing speculate that this form of storing and transferring value will increase to the point that some national currencies (Bolivar, Zimbabwean dollar) will be proven for what they are...printed paper that central banks manipulate.

Look at the Indian Rupee or Indonesian Rupiah if you want to see a currency that sucks to store value in, people don't want those currencies anywhere in the world.

Whether it takes 10 or 20 years there will be a store of value, that isn't controlled by central bankers, so people can own and control their wealth safely and securely in the future. It's probably in bitcoin already though.

I believe this sell off is a great way to buy some gems among the crypto currencies. Coins behind which is a good concept or Coins offer the solutions will not disappear from the market.

However, I have said before Montaten that 99% of all coins will disappear from the market. For this, new projects will be created that nobody knows today.

If you claim, no one is buying then how are people actually selling their altcoins and Bitcoin? For the fact people are selling also implies that some other people are buying, more reason it's a peer-to-peer Decentralised platform.

New people are fearing to buy cryptocurrency, otherwise experienced people and investors are still buying good altcoins. But the ICO market is facing the real tough situation! Everything is now in a critical condition for the big drops of the crypto market. But Everything will be okay again if the Bitcoin, ETH price raise to high.

It seems that only a few buy crypto at this time, beginners are still frustrated with this situation so they are afraid to collect coins. We monitor the market and still expect positive things to happen so crypto gets up again.

No No No

These Shitcoins aren't needed. Nobody is going to spend their bitcoin on these new projects that nobody wants.

The "Coins" as you call them are not the same as bitcoin, so why would people give their bitcoin to these projects?

Less Coins need to be created and more value needs to be provided to the people who put money into bitcoin. Bitcoin funded 90% of these shitcoins, if that was all it was created for, then bitcoin will continue to decline in value to non-crypto people.

It's good for everyone in crypto that the shitcoins die more easily. If people want to invest in alts it's going to keep the value of bitcoin down the longer they last. So altcoins get lower valued and less bitcoin moving into those projects (and scams)....it's only fitting that an altcoin PROVE it's value and expect "investors" have had enough of crappy altcoins and ICO's.

I do not believe that... of course people are buying, otherwise, how could others be selling??
This looks more and more like a golden opportunity to buy all top coins at discount price... can't understand exactly how this happened and/or why, maybe BCH drama, maybe panic selling, maybe one last hard squeeze before the new bull run... it doesn't really matters that much, what matters is that the prices maybe never reach this level again... just look at december 2016 prices...
Unfortunately most people have their money tied up and can't fill their bags with these cheap coins  ;D

Everyone is moving their altcoins into bitcoin, fiat or going broke...


There are too many shitcoins in crypto currency and people decided to stop funding them with bitcoin.

Watch what happens if bitcoin hits $1k  8)

Nobody will invest in crap if bitcoin is down that low.


Because they're SHIT and FRAUD. Even the ones that plan to do something, lose tons of bitcoin for anyone who buys this shit.

Ok sorry, I know people are buying cryptocurrency. I know for every seller there is a buyer to make a trade, but the selling is becoming very intense.

Many people are afraid for all the consequences in a bad side. That's the effect of selling in a very bad price for all of the cryptocurrency out there.

yeah right now almost all of the cryptocurrency coin is going down if you're see in coinmarketcap all of the coin now is on RED. if you are not a person who has a strong soul sell all your coins before it's too late

This is not possible that nobody is buying cryptocurrency. This is a very negative approach for those who think so at all. This is true that crypto market is down these days and trading ratio of crypto market are on and an average. The investor of this market still holding new investor or old investor who have surplus amount for investment they only play the game. 

maybe the point is that no one buys cryptocurrency from externally. the lack of outside interest in crypto will certainly make volatility and price changes become small. and if too much panic selling will certainly make prices continue to weaken.

Because we are experiencing massive decline that results to different factors to crypto users. Some holds and others sell due to possible lost the profit. Anyway, I suggest that hold your ethereum and bitcoin if you have. I believed that in due time it will rise again.

In my opinion i wont say or i didnt think that nobody is buying cryptocurrency but we cannot hide the truth and the fact that some of people already losing hope in cryptocurrency especially because of what happen in the market price of any cryptocurrency at the moment thats why in this moment is not like the past that there unexpected number that today is already lessen and i think it will continue to decrease its number until the price of cryptocurrency is not stable at the higher price but we know sooner or later it will be come back again to normal and i think people is just taking their time to hold and waiting for the right opportunity when they will make a move to buy any cryptocurrency in the market so they can gain a lot of profit.

thinking like you is one of the factors why prices are down now, why panic says that no one buys bitcoin anymore as if you conclude that bitcoin is worthless anymore and not worth having, stop confusing the atmosphere by posting something that is not useful, it should You motivate investors to hold the bitcoin, you also want the price to go up again right?

I believe that this is a plan for one of the biggest people inside the crypto space to spread fear and to make people leave the market in order for them to start a new big rally.

yes that's the fact that is currently happening, craig White wants that to happen. but once again he failed to drop bitcoin at the lowest level, he wanted to shake the price of bitcoin from now on and next year. but again, this is a way of unhealthy manipulation.
in some cases it is currently too risky for buying and trading.

The argument against this being a indication of crypto winter is that we've seen this degree of volatility at Bitcoin all throughout 2017 (and even before). The difference now is that the sheer quantity of players is a complete exponent greater than it's ever been–and lots of new participants don't have any experience navigating these kinds of markets, which makes them even more sensitive to the down times.

Maybe not a lot is buying it but there are still a few who does. It's not like nobody is buying it completely because how could the sellers sell their bitcoins if no one is buying, right? There's got to still be people buying it somehow. Just not a lot maybe.

Believe me, there are people buying. To my surprise, there were two orders executed today, one at $4900 and the other one at $4600. I still have orders for different price points and I can't wait for the price to reach them so I could buy cheaply.

People who really believe in Bitcoin are rejoicing, because they can buy some more at cheap prices. They buy now cheap and they will keep using it throughout, no matter the price. Because they all know WHY bitcoin will eventually succeed.

No actually someone buys. Every trade has a two side. Buyer and seller. If someone doesn't buy this point, then price will go down and down until it find a buyer.

And I think it is not about buyer or seller. Someone or ones manipulating our crypto market badly. And no one earn anything. This is lose-lose! Everyone is getting lose.

i think you should try to understand it.

This condition can be used to buy if you dare to take risks because the market conditions can still be worse than now, because more and more people are panicking and end up selling their assets.

Get some rest and retreat for a month maybe but don't sell. If you only focus on this lows you will lose hope but if you focus for longterm there's no problem holding. This bloodshed is part of cycle in my opinion, simply the whales want your cheap coins and tokens. This market is extremely volatile that anything can happen in minutes, hours, days, weeks and months, but still its your call on when to give up or move forward.

Just like what you commented, people are waiting for a new maximum fall. People are still there and are waiting for the lowest price they can get this month before deciding to buy Bitcoin. Investors are not interested in what is happening because they are still waiting for a good price to invest in Cryptocurrency.

I wish I have funds to buy when others are selling. This is really an opportunity to buy when there are panic sales.

I don’t think that nobody wants to buy cryptocurrencies now. For example, I’m buying now. If the price drops even lower, I’ll try to buy more. I think now there are very big discounts for those who want to buy.

Maybe these investors are also taking a better chance of this event, they are increasingly dumping their coins until the market conditions get worse and then they buy cheaply, it sounds very cunning indeed but this makes a tremendous panic

I don't think nobody is buying.

There is some buyers but comparing to sellers they are very little and that is causing the dump.

I think now the people a little bit scary about it, but I am sure a number of people are waiting for a likely bottoming out in price when they should be buying a certain amount.

There is something going on with the all cryptocurrency market in last 2 days and it is not pleasant. All coins loses like %20-25 at least.. I don't know is it about the black friday but yes nobody buys and opposite way everyone sells their cryptos.. That's why the market is bleeding..

Almost coins are dropping these days they are selling and mostly do not believe it can recover. But I think once it hit the bottom more likely their is more buyers and will increase again the price.

It is like a marketing strategy, weak hands are selling their coins at low price in bearmarket, but only few buyers are grabbing this preciouse opportunity, because most of the buyers are want to dive it more cheaper. When theres a sign of bullrun shows,  i am sure that those lower price will be sold in an instant.

what are you talking about , everyone will want to buy
my local groups on telegram are exploding with people looking to buy

It's the lack of maturity among most of the investors when it comes to the determination of the investment scenario. This leads to generating a positive environment for the big whales and institutional investors to manipulate the price. When the market is falling, expert investors are investing in it whereas newbies usually tend to sell their investments. However, this is a great sign which is pointing towards growth in the coming months.

Nobody is willing to invest in cryptocurrencies, just because they do not know or are waiting for someone to show you, how to come to us, invest here. My conclusion is that you were wrong about not buying crypto. I hope you understand this before speaking :D.

I think you don't know what you're talking about. In the first place what do you know about in trading? why did you came here anyway too?
You involved yourself into crypto trading industry and now not because the market is falling you think its going down to zero, why don't you make do some research first before saying those words with a non-sense statement about in crypto. You are actually wrong that nobody buying them, you are totally WRONG!

this is what I think they want, yes Craig White intentionally incited us to panic, after bch did not have the marketability in the market with his hardfock.
I think what Craig White said was just to look for the stage in the bitcoin play. and they dance when they can buy bitcoin very cheaply

it is difficult to take a stand if the current situation, the decline still continues and we look more at the seller than the buyer. this is what causes the market to get redder. bitcoin is down more than 13.16% at the moment.
I want to buy, but the risk is too high, maybe waiting until the new green is growing

Ya, Please don't say nobody buying cryptocurrency. If nobody did not buy market was fully vanished. But market is still running and people doing their trade in this low price market. Positive thinkers always thinking that Market will give U-turn again and better days is coming in near future. So don't give panic to other about market. Be positive always.

This is just an illusion that nobody buys cryptocurrencies. In fact, today's fall is a planned action that taking place on the demolition of the cryptocurrency price to an acceptable level for the profitable purchase of crypto coins. I think in December, the trend will change and Bitcoin will rush to the goal of $ 60,000.

Well said I still hold a few and looking forward to buying more at satisfactory price. Preparing to ride that Bull (run) soon. 

      There are a lot of people who sell coins even if they are on losing because of fear. They're afraid of losing everything they have. Investors are not clinging to buying now, because they have a very good understanding of how the crypto market works and expects Bitcoin's price to fall slightly to invest heavily. It is clear that the cryptocurrency market is becoming increasingly popular and popular in the world, and that new investors will also be found in the future for the prosperity of the market.

Wondering how many of us are merely waiting for payday, or at least a moment when there is more than a few dollars to rub together during the holidays. Nothing more frustrating than having my favorite crypto currencies on super sale and not having enough spare money to throw at the markets. Just wait, eventually payday will happen and then people will buy again; with these prices I'm sure it won't take too long. As for Craig Wright, I can't voice my full opinions here in polite company......

Now in the cryptocurrency market, technical analysis works very well and accurately. And this analysis shows a further decline. And many know about it. Therefore, many sell.

they may be smarter than you, by selling assets at current prices, which allows them to buyback at lower prices to increase their profit margins
yes this is indeed a risky game, from the beginning I never bought bitcoin for trading, therefore I don't care about market conditions like anything,
Whether you are happy or sad, the feeling that I have is to keep happy about bitcoin, because it makes it easier for me to transact
whether they want to sell or buy in large quantities, that is also not a problem for me

People are buying cryptocurrency and as a matter of fact, people will continue to buy bitcoin. Who do you think is buying the coins being sold? There is no doubt that sellers have the upper and hence the price fall. As the price still has the tendencies to drop further, people may not want to rush to buy.

People was panicking to sell their coins specially those newbie that didn't really understand on what is happenning. I think because of the continues  falling of the value of coin so that is why they are panicking and they think bitcoin or cryptocurrency  will fall continues and it will not survive  hope that they should need to understand well this what happening.

now is not a good time to buy bitcoin, sell, and even trade. Their battle will be very long time, I think that we have to hold in an indefinite time.

when market conditions are bad, I prefer to share bitcoin knowledge with the public.

I think there is a lot of FUD scattered for the moment, we have to wait for things to calm down a bit and when investors see that it is not the end of the world, they will invest again, that is normal in this type of market that people are always on the edge, we just have to wait for things to calm down a bit to see what happens.

They just drag their emotions into panic selling and won't realize of what they are doing right now or they just simply get worried and shock.
Yes, this is uncontrollable scenario and it possible to happen all the time but it is our own to decide what is best for us today and in the future. Absolutely, those people who are currently selling for now will soon to have regrets once we bounce back.

yeah, the price of bitcoin right now is dropping more and more. we dont know about the end of this happen. as long this happen i think there are no buy activity from the market, there are the sell activity because of panic

And sure you know everything about it, don't you ?

Truth is, no one is buying the DIP, people are selling and that is why its price is lower.

i think you are wrong, because people are very interesting to buy cryptos now a days.

A lot of people are buying, it's that there are a lot more selling and the question is how much are those buying are willing to pay. You can take a look at coinmarketcap or bitcoinwisdom or any other website that shows volumes at exchanges which are increased from recently when the price was higher. I think a lot of those sellers are looking forward to rebuy more coins at a lower price. And a lot of them are gonna miss the dip, since the price can rebound anytime.

Yes, many people do not understand that it's easier to lose on the market than to win. Because, as soon as the situation makes them too unintelligible, they begin to panic and sell.

I saw this article that analyses 11 coins that have been listed on Binance over the past six months. There are five different price points for each cryptocurrency. Just tell me what you think about it? Is it true?

https://coinedtimes.com/binance-listing-influence-on-cryptocurrency-price/

but for someone who is familiar with crypto this condition does not prevent him from holding back even to increase their assets. For someone who has worked in crypto for a long time, this is something very ordinary so they won't panic. therefore we were asked to continue to add our insight to be able to handle all situations. do not be quick to despair with the situation.

Now can not believe cryptocurrency many people because they dont know about cryptocurrency.It is lack of Marketting.So improve crypto marketting channel.

Not only do you think that, almost most traders will experience panic and will sell their bitcoin and there will be a big loss. I think the right thing is to hold up as hard as possible if you buy at a high price, if you have more money this is a good time to buy

I do not believe , "nobody buying crypto". Many persons are giving panic sell. It is time to buy crypto. I think a number of people are buying. Also many investors are waiting for suitable time to buy crypto.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that people are buying despite the fall in price, for some people this is the best time to invest their money into buying of this assets as they stand to gain much more when their is rise in price of such altcoin that is been bought now. Thereby returning huge profit margin.

Some people panic and sell their coins at cheap prices, they try to cut losses because they do not believe in the future of crypto, resulting in a sales phase which results in the coins continuing to fall. You don't need to panic because this is a mental game, who is strong and can last until a bull run, he is a winner.

I think most of us are still here buying, I can not speak for others, but I increased my portfolio 25%, in general, is not much, but it is what I can risk for now, maybe if I have new income I buy more, and I think that's happening, because we saw a recovery of $400 in the last day.

Not BCHSV i think BCHABC is badly manipulated in Bitcoin. I don't know why coinmarketcap reducing this coin. Bitcoin price dropped for BCH fork coin mainly.
People not buying crypto more because market is going to risky and i heard someone out 100K BTC from market.

+1, times like this are why you always keep some powder dry.

I can confirm that from our side. Even if it is possible, that we did not hit the very bottom before the bull market to return, many people keep buying. And simply waiting.

Now many do not quite understand what is happening in the cryptocurrency market and therefore do not take any action, others, seeing such a sharp current fall in prices for cryptocurrency, suggest that for the time being it will go down further. Perhaps that is why now there is a relative lull in the market. Some are simply shocked by such a sudden fall instead of the expected growth of the cryptocurrency market in the last months of this year. For now, we will expect how this will all end and at what level the fall in prices will stop. While one thing is clear - a significant increase in the cryptocurrency market this year is no longer foreseen.

No, atleast im buying at this bloodbath, and im happy to see how far this bloodbath will go, already have 0.2 btc more from scalping today, its a good time to fill up your portpolio

In most cases and at a Time like this when the market in all in red people tend to rush into panic selling and at time same time only a few people will be considering buying cryptocurrency due to the fear of the unknown. In this recent crash in price there have been a lot of people dumping the holding and not willing to risk further loses at all.

I dont really think people are no longer buying and just selling their coins. I am pretty sure a lot of people are currently buying and keeping them at the bottom of their pillows, waiting for the perfect moment to sell them. Or is it just me?

because people have a panic and follow others not thinking and analyzing what is happening

Judging by the capitalization of Bitcoin, which has decreased over these few days after the fall, Bitcoin is simply being transferred to Fiat. Those who want to buy bitcoin are less than those who want to give. And this means that the price of bitcoin will still fall.

If nobody bought them, then people would not be able to sell their cryptocurrency. Isn't that logical?

Precisely when this is the right moment to buy the coins you want, while cheap prices take everything you have. But keep an eye on your finances, don't blindly buy something or you will regret it.

Most likely the reason is that the market is very much down and many are afraid of this situation in the market. Therefore, people are not in a hurry to buy bitcoin or even changed their minds. But it is possible that when the price starts to recover, they will change their minds.

You're wrong I'm sure that now smart people buy cryptocurrency but they just have so far less as most want to sell ! Market and is done to masses of people lose money and the minority earned ! Do as a minority and be successful !

It is the end of the year, people are spending money on Black Friday; X-Mas presents; New Year presents. Calm down wait for the January holidays to finish and don’t create extra FUD  ;)

If no one bought bitcoin at all, it would have already come to an end. But despite this fall, he lives and continues to develop. And people continue to buy bitcoin, especially investors who understand that now is a very profitable time to buy coins.

Now the market is in a rather difficult situation, prices have fallen very low, but despite this, people continue to buy bitcoin, although these and the number of these purchases has decreased significantly. But I think that all this is temporary and people continue to believe in bitcoin and will invest in it.

Bitcoin is destined to plummet I’m afraid. No technical analysis required. I know this for one very simple reason.


I’ve just bought a bitcoin and I’ve got all the investment acumen of Homer Simpson

the fact is people are sellingg out of panick and the suppose buyers are scared to buy due to the current state of the market, they are still expecting a further dip in the price of cryptocurrencies. this isn't the end for cryptocurrencies.

Well i think you don't expect people to continue invest in all Alt coins you see or hear about. Also the market went down some months ago and most people started investing heavily and most are now waiting for the green light. This might be the cause of many not buying any longer, they've probably invested much already.

You have made a mistake about this. People still buy Altcoins and invest in Cryptocurrency even when the market becomes unsettled. I know some friends, and they are brilliant at investing. They invested a sizable investment yesterday when the market fell sharply, and today they have all sold at a profit of ~ 30%.

No, bitcoin is still the most popular currency. Many are beginning to sell their coins, but buyers are also quite a lot. Believers in cryptocurrency still remain and maybe someone else is waiting for a lower price to buy.

Just hold on and wait for a bit. Let all those events that currently took place to pass by  (BCH fork related). We might see a slow recovery, but it eventually will recover. Just hold on to your coins. Take this opportunity to invest more coins and maximize your profit. Keep investing as much as you can as the price starts to dip. Keep in mind in the long run, the price will eventually rise.

I think that's not so critical.
Yes, indeed, interest dipped a little, but still many people buy cryptocurrency for personal purposes and for investing in projects.

4400 USD like that is the lowest point of bitcoin, since yesterday, the price of BTC still stands at 4400 and I don't sell BTC anymore
I now buy BTC, buy as much as my money, because I'm sure at the end of the year before Christmas, the price of BTC will recover

it cannot be denied, that is what really happened, even though many people cheered to hold coins, but they themselves did the opposite. That's why everything is the same every day, there is no increase. Apparently, the cryptocurrency will be a little worse in a while.

I would like to remind you and for all bitcoiners  its been almost a year bitcoin price drops
So I think people stop buying because they contented the amount of bitcoin they have
Panicked selling of bitcoin or altcoins those people didn't know well about how to earn better profit
Adopting cryptocurrency is same as a gamble ready to accept losses in time of crisis

several  buy order is on, checkout out on several exchange trading BTC on coinmarket,whale are taking advantage of the dip, you need not to panic or think this is the end of Bitcoin, If you can join in the risk and invest what you can afford to loss, sure you will join us to smile when profit taking is on, To invest in BTC do  not expect an overnight pump of the price, Profit is sure to come.

It seems the cryptocurrency market is now extremely close to total collapse. Many investors are simply shocked by the fall in prices - their capital simply depreciated. What should we do next? Just wait and hope that people will believe again thanks to the mixing of the media that bitcoin is something worth investing your money in. All hope.

I think there are still people or investor buying bitcoin despite the condition of crypto in the market, there are still who never give up and hope for the best, it is their own way of risking at their own expense this people are at least looking for a way to compensate probably their bad experience in the past and so they try and try until they get what they are aiming for buy cyrpto for future profit.

I think that there are those who still buy crypto but as for me this is not the best way to succeed financially at the moment. I hope that nothing bad will happen to the crypto market. I think that crypto will recover in the nearest future

No concerns of worry that market will comeback soon. Everybody should hold bitcoin instead of selling, I think I will hold long time and already have bought some bitcoin.

This is the saddest moment of cryptocurrency. You want to sell your shares but nobody has interest to buy it. All of us are worrying about the dump of cryptocurrency but we need to have faith with it because cryptocurrency is the future. It will not destroy easily! Whales are just taking advantage the market and as a good stockholder, we should hold and wait for the bull run period.

Not everyone stops just like that, there are some people who take advantage of the current market conditions, many still buy some coins, including me, I buy coins that have a value lower than usual, then I hodl and install about 10% of the purchase value.

This isn't true! Those who know the market are buying! Those who believe in what crypto represents and should be, are buying! If you aren't buying don't think some other person isn't buying too!

You have wrong information about cryptocurrency. At this time, the price is very to buy, i think people are trying to buy as much as possible. My experience is buy at low and sell at high. That is always the best key of success.

This board really reeks of absolute sheer stupidity and ignorance and this post is a glaring example of it. How can there be more selling but not enough buying, jeez, morons of highest order! How the fuck is it possible that people are selling coins but nobody is buying them?

Fuckin' dumb millennials!

Prices are not falling because of selling/buying, you fool. Prices are tanking because of that late last year bubble that was based on pure speculations and not backed by any underlying solid foundations. That's how the speculation driven gold rush works and that's why it's called a fuckin' bubble.  When the bubble goes bust, there's nothing left except shit, so what you dumb fools are now hodling is just that ... shit, for most part.

It is not fact that no body is buying crypto crypto is buying by crypto currencies users and bitcoin is used for daily transaction in the online services by now a days and it's importance can not be ignored so we can say that bitcoin is ever useful currency.

If nobody is buying cryptocurrency, then the price can as well crash to zero but it is impossible. There are much more sellers than buyers and everyone can clearly see that at the moment. This is probably because some potential buyers feel that the price may still fall further more.

I really like the cryptocurrency, the dump and pump is really making few out of it but into the platform, the idea is, more persons are buying now

Of course, the price may still fall. The price will go down to $ 1,500, it will stop on this threshold, it will stay for some time and only then it will go up. This is obvious, at least for me.

How can you tell this!!! Nobody Buying Cryptocurrency

With a support of this!
Pheww sigh I can't believe there is still more selling than buying at these price levels

Market is still at fall and still recovering now.
Therefore there will be more panic seller than buyers
and i can tell you are one of those who panic at this stage.
Just wait for the market to be more recovery!

On an exchanger I oppositely see that people are buying at current minuses. Maybe huge investors are really loosing the interest to crypto, but there are tons of micro ones who keep bitcoin to not drop even lower.

I still see some people who name this drop as a correction!  If you don't say anything else except the truth, nobody believes you anymore. We see similar drops in traditional markets even though their percentages are not so much but also we only see moderate rises in these markets. There are so many potential coin buyers but they don't consider to buy right now because it is so risky and they can't be sure about support prices of coins.

The situation on the market is very deplorable.People are in a panic.I understand them.No one expected such an outcome.I am panicking now wanted to sell the last bitcoin.I don't even want to talk about other coins.

The fact that the price falls doesn't mean that there are no purchases. After all, think  yourself if someone sells, then someone buys. This is true? So for every bitcoin sold (or altcoin) there is a buyer.
So, some people sell thes coins under the pressure of their fear (even if they suffer losses), and another part of people buys coins thanks to the desire to earn (therefore, in the future they will get a decent profit).

The market is still good there are some problems that is bitcoin facing off. Some Panic sellers sell their bitcoin in a lower price, on the otherhand, there are still people that are buying bitcoin but it is minimal because at this moment the poeple are starting to sell tgeir bitcoin than buying one because it is always happening.

People are buying just that they are very calculated risk. They dont want to buy at a high price so they wait and see the bottom price befote they go full into the trade

I never sold btc or any coin to usd or usdt in the past few months.

Thats not the case. Bitcoin is down and whales are accumulating bitcoin at cheap prices.

I am a little surprised because the world population is about 7.7 billion people and I would guess about 50% know what cryptocurrency is and I thought there would have been more buying and that the bulls would have held the lowest support of 2018 and most of the youtube technical analysis videos thought the bear market was pretty much finished and it was an accumulation phase before this dip occurred.

It could have been sell off due to another month delay in BAKKT and I believe launch date is now January 24th.

I think people are afraid of losing so they sold everything. I am also very scared, but I believe that the market will recover in the near future

Exactly

Well FUD is a factor definitely but i also feel like there is a manipulation going on. I dont have any evidence though this is just a hunch all that and the volatile nature. I am still hodling my assests and no plans whatsoever of selling anytime soon. When something is down there is nowhere else to go but up.

Sorry, I did not mean for people to take what I wrote literally.  I have been trading for about 5 years now in the stock market and began trading in cryptocurrency for about a year and a half now. 

True.  I just looked at a few (ravencoin, decred, gochain, and dock) on Coinmarketcap and I am not too surprised.  Buy the rumor sell the news is what some of those traders probably did.  Emotional excitement/hype news is the biggest temporary drive in the market and fear creates the biggest temporary loss in the market and news comes and goes.

I also find that the price situation of the crypto is very bad, and I hope that everyone join hands to make every investment ideal, not too bad for investors like us. And maybe the situation will be good in early 2019, I think :P.

They are selling out of panic thinking cryptocurrency is death and there is no hope for it anymore,but the truth is that some of this investors selling will regret selling out what they have in their portfolio ,better hold for a raining day.

this is complete madness and I think that this is exactly what the manipulator wanted to see from the market

Someone buys these assets. I think hamsters will be shaved. Does not teach the life of hamsters.

Maybe capitulation will be over soon.  https://cryptopotato.com/hodl-worlds-first-crypto-etf-goes-live-next-week/

I think This happens because of the fall in the price of Cryptocurrencies in recent times....which is making investors scared that price might go even lower and then the keep selling for fear of loosing their remaining capital.

Investors are selling off out of panic, no doubts about that. The continuous drop in price scares the investors especially the ones who did not learn about the concept of hodling and buying more when price goes down. Now, the market needs tremendous and effective awareness creation in order to draw the attention of new investors which will raise the buy orders above the selling orders.

I am sure a lot of people are enjoying the crypto discount sales... some coins are at unbelievable prices...
All this people that are selling, they are panicking and loosing a good deal of money ... nothing like a final squeeze to put the market on their toes...
I would buy more if I had more  ;D

I love black Friday  ;) ;D

The crypto train already passed Capitulation, next station Despair Hauptbahnhof. Going by insane speed 200USD/h

Of course, there are investors who buy crypto, but their number is nothing compared to those who sell coins in panic. But I would say that now a lot of people want to buy crypto, as the prices are low and they are likely to grow in 2019.

in my opinion the bitcoin sellers were very panicked, because they had been affected by the growing issue. or they had other choices, for example they wanted to buy itcoin at the lowest price.

Now Bitcoin invest is good time and must be huge profit you can in near future. I think now many new bitcoin investors entering in the market and those guys is real gainer i hope. Because they most probably keep holding next 2 years and when BTC will grow 800%-1000%

I believe the recent sales took place because of bitcoins cash war, that spooked the investors who decided to cash out. I also blame the media for putting up headlines sell before to late, that also effected people decisions. Then lastly the herd metality my friends sold hence I too decided to sell, but in a way it's good as now we'll see only long term holders.

it should, bitcoin will not bleed again if there is no Craig White and bchsv. this is a factor that causes bleeding to occur. yes very deliberate manipulition.
I think bitcoin has reached its lowest point and I hope there will be no decline in the next month.

Then Bitcoin is a Shitcoin, because it does not store Value Either.

Ask anyone that purchased btc over $4000 , where the hell their value went.

BTC is NOT a store of value, it is a speculative investment and as such no guarantee it can't go to zero.

People anticipated for a bull market this November to December just like what happened last year and because the market showed no sign of skyrocketing but a drop in price, investors began to sell off out of fear at cheap prices. This is one of the major contributing factors to the sharp drop in the market. However, the market seems to be recovering and that is a good sign to tell the investors to stay calm and wait patiently for the bull market which will certainly come.

Greater sales than purchases, therefore prices continue to fall. Because of panic, many bitcoin owners sell bitcoin, because they fear prices continue to fall. Bitcoin owners must be sure that prices will definitely rise. That belief will make him laugh later when the price of bitcoin really rises as he wants. The owner of true bitcoin is always convinced that bitcoin will give him happiness.

You really need to learn the basics of Crypto before saying such things :)

Your contribution indicates that yourself and most others are not well-informed about the cyptocurrency industry. The truth is that every currency even the strongest of the likes of (dollars, Pounds, etc) often go through slippery slope sometimes before bouncing back. My take is that the bitcoin has not even gone that low to justify the perceived panic.

I would advice anybody to invest in the coin NOW to take maximum benefits when the value increases which would start any moment soon.

But still market capitulations continues up to this day and I don't think that any news will really tip the market unless its a Bakkt going live or ETF getting approved. But those two are scheduled for next year so I think we will continue another massive sell-off and being closed to capitulations. Although others have been promoting to buy in this dip, but investors are very reluctant and afraid that they may lose more. So just be very cautions.

So are you saying that many people are still waiting for a bottom?at this drastically dropping of value?lol people are just weak and don’t have big trust in cryptocurrency thats why they are withdrawing their support and selling all the coins from their folios to wait for another bullrun.things that they will surely regret if the train runs without their notice lol

Many sell now because they are afraid that later they will not earn anything on the coins. Therefore, more sales than purchases.

Capitulation hasn't even started if we are still waiting for it to "finish".
I think there's plenty more weak hands that should give strong holders the coins before the golden bull arrives.

Panic can make a decision that will be regretted later, because selling bitcoin assuming bitcoin will continue to fall can be a regret when it turns out the price of bitcoin changes direction, rises and continues to rise. So, relax and enjoy while resting in the bitcoin trade, after a steady mind starts trading bitcoin.

In such an unstable market, this is understandable, people are afraid for their assets, and after reading the news, they finally quit the game. Question: - "Why start playing the game?"

indeed the problem is that if we invest now for the next 2 to 3 years to get a big profit it's very easy. because in a long time, of course, bitcoin will experience a good and high price increase as well

everyone has their reason for selling, while some sell out of panic, some sell because it is festive period and they need money. lets just wait for the panic sellers to throw away their bitcoin and then we will see bitcoin begin to rise. better days are ahead for bitcoin

I think it's the price drop that's been causing this lately. It scares people and stops them from buying. But fortunately, there are those who understand the market and are not afraid to buy "cheap" coins.

The high rate of selling is done my cryptography traders that are already panicking about the bearish market and are short sighted to the future possibilities

Honestly, this is not the time to be in panic mode.

Its time to invest more in bitcoin....buy more now the price is down before it starts rising because it sure will rise from second quarter of 2019 and stabilize its growth trend towards third quarter.
I have always advised investors not to be left out of the gains this price fall portends.

Many investors are simply very afraid of falling prices, it puts them in a panic. Very many inexperienced investors consider the fall in price the beginning of the end, and to get at least some profit, they panic sell their investments.

Unfortunately, this is true, and the reason for this is several factors. The main ones are the General drop in cryptocurrency prices, prohibitions of some countries on the introduction of bitcoin. But I hope that more and more people will understand the benefits and benefits of cryptocurrency and continue to buy it.

Yes, you are right, the majority of sales comes from the fear of falling prices of bitcoin. Not all people understand the reason for this and so fear decides to sell their investment until the price has fallen even lower. Therefore, fewer people continue to believe in bitcoins and it is very sad.

This is a very sad statistics, but, unfortunately, it is true. The fall in the price of bitcoin, as well as the upcoming Christmas and new year holidays have greatly influenced the number of bitcoin sales. I hope that in the next 2019 this situation will change and purchases will significantly exceed sales.

OTC buying as we all know doesn't effect price. Been plenty of that.

It's the end of the year, so most people are selling their cryptocurrencies either because they need money for holidays and new year, either because they want to end everything on this year and then start a new journey at the beginning on the next year. I'm not saying this is the cause why people are selling more than buying in this period. But if you think about it, this could be a big factor and it's pretty logical. Look at the statistics in the recent years, I think in most of the years bitcoin price has gone down at the end on the year.
