Bitcoin Forum

Let's all be prepared ,the way I'm seeing things I think bitcoin hasn't find its bottom yet ,I'm guessing around 2500$ before we see better recovery ,always remember cryptocurrency is never for the weak ,be prepared and do what you do best ,things will surely turn around but good things never comes easily .

throwing random numbers is always easy. analyzing and giving a proper speculation is hard.

what you are doing here is making a random guess based on literary nothing and your topic is so far worthless because of that.

as for "preparing for the worst", you seem to be forgetting that this current price is after a huge 80% drop. this IS the worst and even if price by any luck goes any lower it still doesn't make the current price a bad entry point.

you have a fading away social support, everyone wants to create money, like nakamoto did, its not a "bear market" like you want to believe and want everyone else to belive.

only thing that focuses bitcoin for investment is the corrupt indexmafia, without it people would have created already much bigger token.

its the indexmafia that is still securing bitcoins value nothing else.

its just a pow cult and one with increasingly less support, 2.5k is just the step towards 0

bitcoin will end up as the AOL/Netscape of crypto, and other failed experiments.

we will return to organic money again, created by institutions, question is who will run those, and how, and will it be possible to standardise those.

We should always prepare for the worst but I am also a believer of that RISE UP next year. :)

The worst of what? Only speculators with huge aspirations for massive profits are fearing the "worst" now, because they are only invested in Bitcoin for the profits. True investors that wants to use this technology as a alternative payment option, can still use this token, even if it goes down.

A thread like this will only draw the butthurt trolls and shills, because they feed on people's fears and doubt.  >:( Let's just stay calm and enjoy the ride.  :D

The worst scenario already happened when Bitcoin price dropped from its all time high down to under $4000. And how can you say that it will continue to drop to $2500? do you have any reason that might affect the price to go down on that price range? Because you can't just say that without any reason like other people here that starts a new discussion about what will happen to the price without any proof or analysis. And also anyone can make an analysis or speculation but there is no guarantee that it will happen.

well i have a reason:

millions of altcoins and digital assets that can be alternatively used and transacted, with even a much better tech basis than bitcoin

So you think a 2500 USD price is "the worst"?Are you kidding me?Last week,many people here were predicting a 1500 USD price at the end of the year,I don't even think that a 1500 USD price is something bad.
Just don't be so pesimistic.Haters will always hate,fudsters will always FUD.

jes thats true bitcoin can very well go even below 1500 usd again

We are already at the bottom mate, many big traders have close their short position ,more over we are already in the worst spot right considering a steady great fall all through out the year 2018. Despite this l don't believe bitcoin will hit 2500.

most people who start a topic like OP or comment on the price, are not sharing their speculation about what price can be. they are instead sharing their wishes about what they want price to be. and that is the clear case of this topic. OP is calling it a "guess" but the correct word is "wish", he is wishing for price to go to $2500 for whatever reason.

the problem with times like this is that market becomes unpredictable. we have seen price drop sharply down and a couple of days ago we saw it shoot up in a big ass green candle!

You are right the real recovery will come after all this crash in price as it has happen before and the saying that state that nothing good comes easy is at play after all this crisis and the trouble the good days will come, but to predict when and how is what we can not say because since the market is highly volatile it makes it unpredictable.

i am afraid bitcoin is becoming a shitcoin the entire world will laugh at.

a big problem is the death spiral caused by loss in investor confidence, combined with retailers eaning and selling it.

Always prepared for the worst will give a better way to profit out of the same, because when one expects big and gets destroyed when the expectation didn't happen as predicted. At the same time ready to meet the worst scenario will keep the user prepared and by that time when price grows big the benefits will be big.

I am not swayed by such views, posts, and comments anymore. I have observed that many in this space got in with the mind of catching in on the fast money syndrome. So when that seems not to be happening, it is like expectations postponed.

Indeed, we must be prepared for the worst, and I think the worst thing has passed and is ready under any circumstances. Patience continues to be tested with market movements that go up and down uncontrollably, from the highest level and now at the level of $ 4000 while maintaining patience and waiting for the good, will definitely improve.

if you believe that then you should be buying bitcoin right now instead of wasting your time day dreaming about a price drop that may not even happen.
but it seems to me like you are just saying it to have said something positive about bitcoin and its future price while saying it is going to drop.

If you don't want to get disappointed again, its best not to expect something big will happen. But $2500 is much worse I hope it doesn't have to go that way.
I started to trust the market again when it spiked up to $4k so this must be the start. Price will swing at these range I expect. I don't really care if it stays that for years as long as it sticks to that range.

yes of course, I have prepared myself when the market begins to decline and is prepared to accept what will happen. I decided to hold on even longer even though it was at a deep loss.

I agree with this, we should not believe the speculations from random people since there was no clear and authorized information which may be a support to the person's clain and for me it is never enough to believe something unsure, specially in this type of community which every detail of the news is important like today we are searching in darkness due to lacking of detailed information towards the current situation.

Its clear that this thread has revealed 2 members who clearly want the value
of bitcoin to plummet so they can buy back again thats the op and KingScorpio.

I wouldnt be taking anything of value from any of their posts purely because
its all negativity and no technical analysis as to why the are that way.

Look to the long term, if prices fall, If they rise , rejoice!

Well i think the worst thing is really depend on us or maybe on our own decision on the feild of crypto. The only worst thing occur when we are going to lose our self control and on our emotions. I believe that we can earn a huge amount of profit if only we have a great patience because from the beginning of crypto we can all see that it is unstable and mostly it will always rise after the dip. So there is no worst thing in crypto if we have patience because all our loss due will maybe become a profit depending on our patience on waiting for the best price to sell.

Okay if it haven't reached the bottom yet, it's good. We can buy more if that has been met.

Thanks for that reminder but you are giving a prediction that isn't really new and has been said but others before, still we have to be prepared with anything.

in my experience whenever you wait around for bitcoin price to come down you are either going to be disappointed and miss the chance to buy at the price that it used to be because now there has been a rise.
or the price can fall and because of your mentality you will end up waiting for more drop (cheaper coins) and then you end up missing out.

well I can say that you are right , good things never comes easy thats why we really need to work hard and convince ourselves not to sell our bitcoins during this time. Though bitcoin is falling , you can still see some improvements regarding its price. We need to have long patience to survive.

I agree with everything written and to be honest, I noticed that this apocalyptic topics are growing all the time. We are in 'the worst' and as we speak, we are pulling ourselves out of it right now. The price will continue to oscillate a bit in the weeks to come, but I don't think that it will go below 2.5k, that's what a lot of experts are saying these days. The thing that we can debate about right now is what is the peak that we can expect this time, how far will it go once it starts climbing.

What is the worst thing that possibly happen by the way? I think bitcoin has been there, through the worst and many speculative ideas spreading around. But, I do believe even it has gone through the worst, the best day will come and everything will be profitable for everyone. Especially for those who invest for long-term investment.

Please share your crystal ball so we could see it too.

Anywhere I look I dont see such a thing, although I am always prepared for the worse. It is not support about the project anymore but mere money making. ICOs are the best example of it.

They could not do it with bitcoin because of its volatility and that is why I am staying with it. It is my ace of all the crypto currencies that I own.

crypto is manipulated by media, last january exchanges closed new users, a lot bad news came up

I chose crypto because it was technology, I realized the market conditions were unstable, I was ready for crypto conditions even though it was in a falling condition but I always believed crypto still had a future.

No, Not time for expecting the worst everything happens to bitcoin is just normal and trust the bitcoin it will recover soon.

Believe in better ending but be ready for the worst. I hear some negative prognosis, but still think bitcoin will make it to the future.

in my opinion this is the right time to buy bitcoin. as you say cryptocurrency has never weakened. waiting for the next recovery there might be a high pump. :D

Well, that is FUDs and a lot of them are spreading in the internet like a wildfire. A lot of people or investors actually read this posts or statements and it is being done for years now. Every time I heard or read this topic about Bitcoin, I can only say that Bitcoin is alive for a long time now even if it is experiencing a lot ups and downs. It will is stronger than ever as it has a lot of supporters or users all around the world.

I'm sure the forecast of the author of this topic will turned out to be wrong and i thing that the bitcoin price bottom was at $ 3000, i thing that it was the lowest point, where everyone had to make a buy if he wanted to buy cheap Bitcoin.

I think over the Xmas, holidays, New Year and Chinese New year we will see more downturn and also volume dropping. I think this mini pump we saw in prices was just a small pump so the whales can cahs out some before the holidays so they can enjoy more profits. All the small fish again will get caught out buying thinking that there is another bull run coming. I do not see any sign off a bull run before the 2nd quarter or third quarter of 2019, nearer to the Bitcoin blocks halving again.

The best advice to prepare for the worst is to calm your nerves. None of us can affect the price but we have a choice. Wait with your growth savings (long term) or buy more bitcoins.

If you are watching it in every second, you will guarantee getting piss off and stressful.
But the story will be different if you just buy ,hold, and forget that you ever purchased in the past. After 5 or 10 years later, you realize that your investment has been grown exponentially !

~ Less stress be an Investor !

Studying the market situation and continuing to understand what happened is not too panic with the worst.
I was ready for whatever happened and saw everything my friends did here.

Off course that we have to be ready for worst case scenario. Investing in any field brings certain risk and things could go wrong or simply not developing the way that you thought that will. Same is with crypto currency investment. Especially because we have seen and experienced bad trend and we are still in it.
I wouldn't speculate with prices, I just believe that at some point price of bitcoin will start to grow, moving forward to its best days.

I don't think things are going back like it has once been. Well no one has a correct prediction or calculation on how the market is going to turn to. But I think we all have to be positive and encourage more investor into the crypto space.

There is no other worst that has not happen yet and going down more will not dip more than the past dip, so what worst is that we are seeing soon, I believe those who know what market is are accumulating any better and great coins and token now for best income when its time comes.

yes, right, I also estimate that prices may still fall at a price of $2,000 before actually going up next year. I will continue to buy coins if the price is below $3,000

I respect every member that has commented about this post....with all sincerity.
We should always remember that bitcoin like other currencies (say fiat) has its bad times too.
The difference between bitcoin and fiat currency is that unlike bitcoin when a country's fiat is down in value...the country could put up several deliberate economic policies to instigate a rise in value.

For bitcoin and other cryptos....we have to wait for demand forces, the big wig bitcoin traders (whose identity are unknown) among others to scale up the value of bitcoin through their activities.

The honest question is this, will bitcoin further fall?
I think non can give an accurate answer to this question, in the first place no one would have believed that the coin could fall to even $4000 from an all high of about $19,000. As such we can only hope for the best.

Would the price improve any soon?
I am a firm believer in the bitcoin.. as well as a good history student of the bitcoin. At the inception of bitcoin, No one can would have believed that the coin in just a matter of months the coin could be valued at over $5000. The coin beat several experts opinion and rose to the zenith before most of us took it seriously. I believe the coin would do it again.

Bitcoin is always experiencing ups and downs that we cannot expect, all of which occur according to market demand. Just like at the beginning of entry and no one votes but bitcoin still stands even continue to move and grow, so whatever we have to be always ready, Bitcoin has taught us to this day.

We will be able to see the bottom price when the time comes. We do not know why and how the changes in the market have happened recently.
Anyway if we do our analysis with our feelings IMO 3k is the last point in this fall.

Definitely everyone should not just prepare for the worst but learn how to analyze and adjust your trading or investment strategy. We have seen a lot of people lost so much money but still they continue to pour their money thinking of a bull run which won't happen in the next coming months or years. As for the bottom price, maybe you are right, we haven't seen the last bottom and the price could easily go below $3K if there's another negative news coming our way. But so far it looks like the $3K resistance is strong so let's just hope for the best.

If this isn't a recovery phase for crypto market then we should really prepare for the worst scenario,
If the Bitcoin haven't reach the bottom then worst price would be seen next year for sure.

yes we do have to have preparation for this, because bad situations come suddenly without any unexpected situation. so it's a bitcoin situation that has happened so far, we still have to endure it and accept it at any time.

The market had a 3-day upward direction, then followed by 1 day of downward. Then upward again but only for strong coins. With this scenario, I think you made a good point here. It seems the market hasn't reach the bottom. This kind of recovery then downtrend again happened already many times this year. Though, there's nothing to worry about.

Overthinking the worst that could happen might be a sign that you gambled more than you can lose.
BTC price is determined by speculators who are speculating what the speculators of tomorrow would speculate its price would be.
At best its fundamentals are driven by state-channels and second layer solutions that nobody would use for the next few years.
Should have cashed out on time, and I strongly recommend you tether up and LONG when the signals are right, and SHORT accordingly.
HODL-ing worked until a point.

I would interested to know how you came to the $2.5k figure.

I do think though that the global economy is going to take a downturn and this will not be good for bitcoin.

If anybody here enter in the crypto community when its already bullish i think we are already prepared on that repeated scenario.Bitcoins price as of this moment have slowly recovered and we are open for any possible things that would happen because the market of cryptocurrency is very volatile and we already know that this kind of moment would happen.

Am sure we are well prepared for what we have ventured into no matter what happens and as a matter of fact we are not obliged to the rise only but even the fall as well. We have the consciousness within us that no matter happens we are prepared to face the music and give it responsoral dance. We know it is bitcoin and if it drops to +2K there is still possibility of rising again.

Exactly.We should not worry even if its price falls even lower because we know from the start how volatile the market is.I still have high hopes that this market will still recover after a couple of months.So let's still be positive at the moment.Make this great opportunity to buy more potential coins with affordable prices.

but in other parts of the forum there has been a discussion about factors which of course can make a bitcoin bull run in 2019. And in my opinion it can be a good reference even though we must be prepared in the worst situation too

I'm not so sure about a bull run by next year but as what i have seen on the price movement in the market,there are still high chances that bull run will happen next year.Although a lot here have already lost their hopes but for me,we should always be hopeful that the market price will still recover because if the price suddenly drops down,i'm sure it will also rise up in just a sudden.

I'm ready. If bitcoin falls even lower, I will not be upset, because I understand that this is a temporary phenomenon. I have enough patience to wait for the market to recover.

the worst case scenario would be bitcoin becoming the ultimate shitcoin that no one wants,

that would then of course, lead towards the utter destruction of the current market and its indexation,

since indexmafia protects bitcoins soverignty over the market and therefore value, one can actually wish them this fate.

the ultimate shitcoin callers will become the ultimate shitcoin supporters.

I have bought some when the price dropped to around $3200 level. It was a good investment for the long term.

Buy and hold is the best way to do rather than just doing nothing and see prices going down. I know not all the time that there is plummet so good for those who are wise and has patience for they will soon be having paid for their good decissions. If only I had capital my own way of preparing is to buy and hold Bitcoins  unfortunately I have nothing to invest by now. Some people are afraid this time and some are not but whatever they do right now will surely affect the future on how they mold something for tomorrow.

Perhaps the OP has already sold his crypto currencies and wishes to buy cheap promising coins again. I believe the worst times stay behind. The BTC local bottom is $3150 and this is its current strong support level. I agree with you that the market is unsteady and the Bitcoin price can quickly surge or decline at any time, so traders should keep abreast and be willing to buy or sell coins in order to make profits on such volatile crypto exchange markets.

In bitcoin we trust no need to worry about the value of bitcoin that continues to fall. Only thing I do when it happens still holds. Just wait for bitcoin back to the top.

if you are a short term investor, selling right now is the right time, because it is very likely that there will be more waves again ahead  and may lower the price of bitcoin again, sell when the opportunity has come, don't hold too long mate

we must be prepared for all conditions that will occur in the price movements of the crypto currency. This currency is very difficult to predict and is strongly influenced by a large number of sales factors or large purchases. we must be smart in determining the policy of our own assets so as not to suffer losses.

We have already passed the worst so I guess the right thing to do is to prepare ourselves for the bull run to come.
Many people still has doubts if this bull run will really come but we should be open and optimistic for this possibility, it may initiate this year and will continue by next year, then we would realize that 2018 might be the worst year but 2019 is where everything were corrected.

unfortunately, the bad period has ended. the massive selling trend that occurred in November was over, so now we have to prepare for a bull run. all will improve after a bad period in 2018.

there will be no bull run the burning will continue.

stop lying to each other.

Unfortunately I have to agree, I dont see any good price movement yet, recently there are few green movements but quickly fall down, from the chart it showed that bitcoin got a weak support in $3000, so once it fall to that level it could fall down deeper, but this all is just speculation, I know that we got bakkt coming soon, but afterall we still need to prepare for the worse, crypto market is very unpredictable

No matter what happen I will keep on holding my BTC because Im a believer of bitcoin technology, I am always prepared to take the risk of losing on the bearish market.

right use risk management correctly buy if the low price I think the price of $ 3000 is very cheap to save your coins and sell a few months in the future you will definitely be rich

I also think that the price of Bitcoin will fall even lower, to $ 1500-2000 levels. I don't think that before the New Year holidays a bull run will begin. Growth will begin not earlier than February next year.

It takes preparation, bravery, patience, and commitment when engage in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is full of surprises, its price keeps on moving unpredictably. We have to build a strong foundation of knowledge, awareness, and understanding. We need to be strategic so that we will be able to know what proper approach to take whenever there are challenges that we may encounter along the way. Be positive and hopeful, trust that everything will be back on track.

a price (support level) that stands against a huge dumping pressure accompanied by lots of FUD is not called "weak"! i don't know how you came up with the conclusion that $3000 is a weak support though!

as for Bakkt, it is mostly a hyped up news and bitcoin doesn't need that to rise. pretty soon the sell pressure is going to be lifted as the whales run out of money, in fact it has already started as the price showed a quick jump back up to above $4k level with a whopping $1000 rise.

I am sure every person or every cryptocurrency investor is accustomed to falling prices. No matter how much the price decline occurs, we are all ready to face it. Now, bitcoin experiences prices from $ 3300 to $ 4000 and is still stable at a price of $ 3900 and $ 4000, if indeed there is a decline again as you say we will be ready to face it. However, I don't believe in someone who predicts the price of bitcoin, almost all of them don't meet the target. I prefer to look at market movements, because usually every price decline will occur there is always a sign.

As much as we don't want Bitcoin to be wiped out in the Earth's surface, you're right that we should prepare ourselves for the worst.
If only people will open up to new ways of making things better. :(

that is what we should do to be able to quickly make a decision, that the price of bitcoin has now begun to move to increase its price, in investing in crypto we must believe that everything will be able to recover, optimistic commitment and patience that we always have to do , and we must be able to make a decision as soon as possible, before everything will rise even higher.

Me too I also prepared for that cause the value of bitcoin is not stable from the start that's why I prepared for that when it comes the value become decreasing and I never lose hope and always positive  it will rise next year.

No one can answer that question. All we have to do now is to face of what possibly happen next days. Crypto will stay longer until nobody have used it or the entire market will collapsed. Yes, we aren't in the bottom yet and we don't want it to happen my dear. Pumps is what we lookin for and I can't imagine how long it takes for that.

Yeah I prepared on that cause investing in cryptocurrency is risk, the value is up and down that's why when it comes the value decline I prepared for that and accept it. I hold and waited for a few months or more until the price value is rise up.

In fact, for most people, more than 80% of the money has been lost in the crypto bear market, so the situation is now the worst. To be honest, since I have lost so much money, then even if the market continues The decline has no effect on me anymore, anyway, there is no difference between $1 and $0.
So, there will be no worst case, because the situation is the worst now.

I agree with the title because this is what we can do right now, so we don't have to get shocked if something worst happens in the future. Besides that, if we can be ready, we can know what we need to do in bad situations, and we can get out from that moment without any problem. It is better to prevent than to cause so we could still secure our asset and our money. But besides preventing the bad situations, we could continue for what we've done so we could make a profit from the cryptocurrency.

The point is that whatever happens to bitcoin, it won't easily sink and die. Indeed, as seen so far it looks like bitcoin is weakening, but of course there are still many things out there that are still unpredictable, I think this is only a matter of time waiting for it to recover or be better from now.

The worst situation is the inability to make money in this market. The current situation is neither bad nor good. Firstly, this is a normal phase of market development, and secondly, this situation was expected (or someone believes in perpetual growth).

bitcoin is basically dieing like any other shitcoin
just bigger on a different scale thats it

all the worst things have ever happened and happened suddenly unplanned because we can learn from the worst and I am sure you are successful in the bad and now happy because he enjoys the process dibitcoin is the same especially the daily life

I think that depends on our way of thinking, and if we feel fine then we will be able to get through a very bad problem. The market can definitely rise and have a future, and I don't need to worry.

You are confusing cause with effect. Everything in the development of the crypt is good. You will get tired of using real applications in small handwriting. ICO as elsewhere - who scam, who is the real developer and moves technology. It all started with a ban on advertising by major corporations. Corporation = Fiat. Then the state structures got involved, it’s not necessary to go far to head of the Central Bank of China, saying “the crypt will bury our economy, we are releasing a genie from a bottle”. Not in the crypt and not in the scam thing, but the fact that the owners of fiatnyh printing presses sensed a threat to their age-old foundations. The state does not need a transparent decentralized economy. Absolutely cynical, ugly system in our world one-sidedly covers events. Inflate the economy, loans, banks, courses, and this is not a scam. But the increase in the crypt of the crypt is a scam, to ban, to crap in all the media. It’s easy to drop the rates of national currencies of entire countries, and on the crypt volatility has become a major disadvantage. Hey, people, wake up and start thinking with your head, do not let yourself cheat.

What's the worst? It can only be the worst for the speculators  with only some big aspirations. In contrast, those who are true investors still use bitcoin. Because they have complete confidence that even if it goes down, but it is capable of touching the moon.

Most of us are waiting for $2500 price for bitcoin which is not impossible for market manipulators. They all have the resources to be used to change an investor's way of thinking like creating an issue that will bring negative impact with the market, technical charts to be provided from well know crypto news websites or even using government actions against cryptocurrency which they can twist. We are now seeing a slight recovery but we still have to be very careful with possible dump.

i make the down limit, so if the price of bitcoin reach that value i think i will start to withdraw my investment, not all in withdraw, i think i will withdraw 20% first, and start to makes the second down limit

Bitcoin is full of surprises, the price keeps moving unexpectedly. We must build a foundation of knowledge, awareness, and strong understanding. We must have a strategy so that we can know the right approach to take whenever there are challenges that we might encounter along the way. Be positive and hopeful, believe that everything will get back on track.

The market is indeed not full of surprises and there may be many speculators who are happy with the collapse of bitcoin, so this will give us to be ready and alert for whatever happens.

I do not think we can come to a conclusion by analysis without reason. It is just a possibility you said and I do not agree that the price will go down to 2500$. Those who lost their trust in Bitcoin have already retreated and the rest people are waiting for a bigger price.

if indeed you doubt for sure it will be hard if you do. so it takes confidence and perseverance to progress in the future. so if the investment will still be a problem. so we never just give up.

YEah this should be one should do because as the statistician says that a normal curve has been found on bitcoin market price movement and it is now already turning backwards meaning to say that bitcoin will going to end. It will have a good market price increase but not relatively as good as the peaks market price recorded for bitcoin.

Let's hope that you are right and the manipulators' funds to lower the price have come to an end. However, we cannot exclude that it is just a trap, that we think it is end of bear market. The cryptocurrency market is unpredictable!

There is no need to be psychologically prepared because perhaps this is too familiar to everyone here. This market is always volatile and this is a brand. But I think the bottom of bitcoin can't be $ 2k5 because the market is gradually recovering and this makes bitcoin never touch the bottom as you say.

I am not worried about bitcoin, the bad possibility is that bitcoin is decreasing in value and of course after that there will be a possibility for recovery, I think the essence of it is that we have to have patience.

It is not known when the best times will come. Someone says that bitcoin will drop to $ 1000, someone says that the lowest limit has already been reached. In any case, we should continue to do what we do, you are right about it.

We all know that the cryptocurrency market is very unpredictable, so we should always be ready for anything. You should always have some money in Fiat so you can buy crypto any time. And of course, we must be mentally prepared for any outcome of events.

Anyone who is engaged in investments should always be prepared for different situations, including bad ones. Since he himself chose this kind of activity. As for me, I keep my emotions under control, as I'm confident in the success of bitcoin in the near future.

If this isn't a bull run then the market would surely crash down way more deeper than before.
But if it is a bull run then we shouldn't worry about it right now and let's just enjoy the holidays.

If you think that the bottom of Bitcoin's price is at $2500, you're definitely not prepared for the worst. The truth is that the price of Bitcoin can fall even below $1000 and even then it will not be known if this is the end of price drops.

How to become prepared for the worst if you really don't have a clue what is the worst thing could happen (Of course, reaching $0 is obviously the worst but I don't put in consideration since chances are very small for it to happen). So if you are scared for the next thing  and can't hold it any longer then feel free to cut yout losses, that was sad but at least your savings will not experience further drops anymore. It was definitely an impractical decision but if it is the only way to make you feel relieved then go.

As you can see, the market has made a turn and now we are seeing a smooth rise with minimal drawdowns, which create a good ground for a quick big Bang. This is a classic schedule that we observed last year, so I advise you to fasten your seat belts and buy as soon as possible.

This is quite realistic scenario because the historic retrace levels are between 80-87% this corresponds to 2600-3000$ usd, so you are close to my prediction but a bit too much there.

Someone said the Bitcoin value will still dump to about 2,800$ before it can start having a course towards its recovery and then a possible bull run. As much as possible, one should prepare for the worst and also prepare for the unexpected too; the real cryptocurrency business is for the strong!

You have no idea of what the bottom really is

https://twitter.com/gregschoen/status/70261648811761665

If you are in crypto you should always prepared. You dont know when should decrease or increase. But despite of that we all know crypto is a  big opportunity for all of us.
We encounter now the downfall  but still we are hoping for the recovery of it soon. Be patient and calm.

the main provision in investing and holders is understanding market prices so that they can be prepared when the market goes down and can take the opportunity to buy when prices fall. I am sure all can be calm and patient in the face of falling prices because our goal is to make a profit.

Now the price is bounce back to around $4200 which is good sign for the long term trading I guess. The passion should be on again from now on and wish there will be no more deep drop in the near future. But yes, we should be prepared for the bad scenario as well.

Don't prepare for the worst yet, we all know that good things come to and end, but as of what I am seeing right now in the market is from a small recovery now has recovered much more, the price is indeed upsetting but I think that it will fully recover soon, and it is not only Bitcoin whose recovering, some altcoins are recovering as well.

everything is not easily provided, everyone is tortured for good outcome. we do not need to be prepared for the deep bitcoin bitrate, my confidence is that bitcoin will return to the previous price if this recovery happen everything will come back to what user,trades has.

yes, of course, being patient is most needed here, we all know that crypto will not continue to be stable and there will definitely be bad. everything that happens here has become a risk and we must be prepared to accept all the risks well so as not to lose.

We should also be prepared for the good.
Worst happens to test your ability to cope up on the situation. The solution matters than the problem. Good and bad scenario should be end in positive outlook in life.

Agree with you, we need to have a backup strategy, so if somehow the market is not run as our prediction, we could still take the profit and leave the market until the situations are back normal again. The risk in the market can happen at any time, and it depends on what preparation we do to minimize the loss. Besides that, I am sure that we can pass any difficulties that will happen in the market if we are ready for the worst thing and I think being patient is also helps us to find a way to solve the problem.

i don't think things are going back like it has once been. Well no one has a correct prediction or calculation on how the market is going to turn to. But I think we all have to be positive and encourage more investor into the crypto space

Crypto will be fine and I don't need to hesitate or worry about crypto, the market can go down and make most people panic, but in my opinion even though crypto falls as low as possible, I believe crypto can rise again.

I am ready for both good and bad times in Bitcoin. At this time the market that bitcoin has gone down considerably. But I believe. That there will be a good increase in the market in the next couple of days.

Yes, you are a right and crypto market always be up- down. We are always focused on positive feedback and profit and never expect loss or negative.As a result when we get profit this time only happy and accepted in our life but always prepare for your self any kind of situation.

But(or And) maybe we should prepare for the better as well. Something owns true value will come up in this brutal winter, bubbles will be clear, which could be a good thing for market and development.

To be honest, I don't think that Bitcoin will fall from this level because the symptoms of growth on the price chart is showing a positive momentum and there are no other external factors which might affect the price badly. This bottom was not really expected in December but I do see growth with the next few months with the slower yet sustained pace of speed.

Why you are thinking that the market will go down instead of up, when market is preparing for the bull run, everyone is now shouting of bear trend, This is always happening and panic sellers always make loss.

I think no one can say where bitcoin will go next year . Of course, you really want to, he had already begun to grow , but it is possible that more will fall .

Regardless of the markets condition, weather its bear or bull, always prepare for the worst. You always have to have a back up plan. There's a saying "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail". If Bitcoin goes down below $2,500 you need to have plan, do you sell all, or sell partial or just hold till market recovers. For me if Bitcoin goes below $2,500 I would buy some more and hodl.

Well it's now gotten to the extent every one would start predicting and criticising even without a good reason or fact to do so. Bitcoin has started to grow and the price is on the rise

We have passed the worst, and there are still opportunities for better things. The process of good growth has begun.
And I am ready to welcome goodness in the future and also be ready if bad things again shake the crypto world.

If bitcoin really comes down to 2500 USD then I will not call it a worst! Because Bitcoin is like a horse in a race! Sometimes it can go beyond your expectations and sometimes the horse needs rest to run faster than before! Try to think positive and spread positivity on social platforms! That will help and let's enjoy the holidays! Everything will be fine.

well, no one can accurately predict what will happen to bitcoin and how much dip will occur before we see it rise again. But for me whatever happens, i am not selling my bitcoin, will hodl and wait for things to normalize and bitcoin goes up.

Yes, I'm always mentally prepared for the worst, but I still don't sell coins. I still believe that the price will surprise us, especially as some experts predict a very strong growth in the near future.

Try watching this YouTube video:  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4HGVJjqDVk

Now they say that bitcoin will fall even stronger, and then there will be explosive active growth. Well, I'm also preparing for the worst, although every time the price drops, it seems that it can't be worse.

How can it get worse? The price has already dropped too much. But even if this fall continues I still will not go to sell bitcoin. I'll wait until the last one, until he recovers. I believe that.

I have already been prepared for the worst scenario when the price of bitcoin are still holding steadily around $6000 USD per bitcoin in the past few months, and after the price of bitcoin dropped below the $4000 USD level, I have also decided to hold on to all my bitcoins until the bull market returns, I will never go into a panic mode and sell away my bitcoins even if it drops below $3000 USD per bitcoin.

I don't think that bitcoin will go worst or downfall more after this current huge drop. We now are waiting for the bull run of bitcoin. Based on my understanding, after bearish market there will be huge bull market. So, I don't see your prediction base on the reality market.

That’s true, and we should only invest the money we can afford to lose, if you’re not ready for that then I think its too risky for you to handle this market situation. Cryptomarket is a place where risk is very high because of pump and dump trend. Always be prepare for everything, set your goal, and always set your cutloss price so it can prevent you from losing big money.

That’s the fighting spirit i’ve ever want to see, its good to be like that and of course this market will recover soon just have more patient and invest more.

The crypto market is all full of possibilities not what someone think because there are some big fish which already accumulate a huge number of bitcoin and they could manipulate the market anytime they want. However, with my own research we are yet to reach the bottom price of this year market and this current slightly increase in price was to happen just to set some people as a prey before the bottom price.

Yes.I also think the price won't go even lower because by looking at the market today,the price is already gaining a stable increase even though it's not that big.But still let's be more patient to wait for another good increase and hopefully a bull run may appear in the next days.And when that happens,we will all be gaining huge profits for sure.

that must be prepared by all investors when they join bitcoin. they must be prepared for all the risks they face, don't just prepare for high prices but also prepare for deep falling prices, it will make you more calm and not easily panic

Hello bro, don't create any rumor here without any strong proof or analysis. It is a foolish topic without any reason. Crypto is not for weak hearted person. You have to be practical and be prepared for every situation that comes in the way of your crypto journey.

it seems the price starts falling again and the increase in the price of bitcoin can't make a price increase because it's too written to do that if there is no support from traders.

traders don't support anything, they just distribute according to demand.

yes the price of cryptocurrency is getting worse, many are stuck at high prices, perhaps also at this time traders will sell their assets cheaply in preparation for the celebration of the new year and the price of cryptocurrency will increasingly collapse.

The worst thing that happen to the crypto currency is the market price falldown of 2018 abd I think tbat it is not yet back ,so that is why all the cryptoholders must prepare for the more worst to happen, but we also hope that this bearish market will not continue until next year so that all cryptocurrency holders can move now for their investments.

Because it has become an option, it must be prepared for the worst conditions, in the worst conditions, I will continue to hold and be patient.

It might be good to prepare for worst but I think bitcoin will have a great future and the price will rise very soon because even the now the market seems to recover from its drop and some say this is due to the decline of the stock market but what ever the reason behind what we all know is bitcoin is going through a successful path than the past by adapting into businesses and expanding its areas and gaining more users day by day so prepare for worst but believe in what you have invested in because you need to trust your investment 

i am quite confident the current collapse will continue the problem is structural.

Well, i don't know how you see those things that makes you think that Bitcoin will get to $2500. Perhaps giving us a feasible reason for your claims will be better. Anyway, i see the opposite because the market as shown green for the past week now and it is a good sign for an upcoming healthy market.

Declining of token prices is the worst thing happened in Cryptocurrency, but we need to accept that because we cannot do anything much better to be Patience and wait for another rises to happen,and if you see the token prices right now we can tell that there is a improvement and we can see now a good market even though it is slightly pump happens but this is a big proof that it will rise again if not this month hopefully nextyear.

why prepare the worst if we can prepare the best.
for me it's the last choice, when there are so many choices why look for the worst.
it has no benefit at all what you say here.

By looking at the current situation, when BTC goes upto 4000$ and again back to 3000$ range. These movements shows that it will go down further. It is mandatory is crypto field that you have to prepare for worst when you are investing in it. Last week I decided to sale my BTC when it was in 4200$, then I thought if I have waited for few months then I can wait more.

Lol people here now are more ready as the whole year brings us no improvements instesd full of losses,do you think this is not enough for us to be called ready for everything that might halpen along the way?i believe you are underestimating our capacities to handle this situations mate.or i might say that you must be ready that telling us what to do

This whole year of bearish trend has already prepared us, this makes us strong and sad to say, I know there are a lot of people who lose their money also.
However, if we want to stay and succeed, we need to accept what happened and move on while staying optimistic.
We haven't seem the bottom yet, then bring it on, we will not panic because we here to witness and enjoy the new bull run.

the current price is indeed bad but what I fear is not the worst, when I saw the market growth last week which was all green I was quite optimistic that the market would improve again but when I saw the red market today, I asked if this was a game ? But if you say we have to prepare for the worst, then you don't need to say because for everyone who enters the crypto world, he must have a strong mentality as the basic capital to be ready to accept whatever the market conditions are.

Not as easy as turning your palm and saying to crypto all need a step-by-step process, indeed this year is very bad for crypto, complaining there are no results, the point is being patient everyone doesn't know what will happen in the future hopefully everything will get better and besnext.

Bitcoin – all in! Alt-season has started!
https://youtu.be/lNQL6pL81lI

Trend has been broken! If this is not a bull-trap (which is still very likely), then it is time to buy right now, or it will be too late! Look at TA! (Not a financial advice, guys! It is still a huge risk!)

Yes we do. Because as fas as we can see for now the bitcoins price keeps on fall its value and we dont have any assurance of bicoins price going high.

Preparation for the best is a more positive thing, the worst thing is ready mentally and this must be before entering the crypto world has been prepared. I didn't expect bad things to happen but the ever-changing and red crypto market demand made all too worried.

in my opinion whatever the risk I will receive because I am ready with the risk that I will get in investing even though it is in a bad condition

I think 3200 was the bottom and afther some good news step by step we will see recover of price and all market as we see news about Indian legalisation if it happens then i am sure long bull run would start so just need some time and as we see this happnes not with btc only but all stock market is in red and only 1.5 % from being in bear.

You are right, we must do the worst at any time, because it can happen at any time, maybe the price of Bitcoin collapses again when we wake up one morning, and it falls below $2,000.
If we can imagine some of the worst situations ahead of time, then when the crash happens, we will not be too flustered, who knowing what will happen in the world of crypto? So we must not only imagine the bright future of crypto, but also Imagine a dark day.

Crypto currency involves high risk and where their is a higher risk their is a higher reward. Due to volatility it is highly risky and only if people have extra money or can afford to loose should be investing in this market. One should always be ready for the worst and to diversification is the best method for this.

We bith see things in our mind but mine is opposite to yours. My prediction is opposite to your prediction I see good things in bitcoin that the prize will bull again.

Another speculation without collaborative proof of technics. If we all keep shouting $2500 and it goes to hit $10k, won't that be a disservice to the people learning from us? We really need to give the bitcoin a break and watch out how things are going to turn out for the betterment of all and not all these death threatening speculative figures.

Hope for best, be prepared for worst. That's my motto. Today a lot of people are talking about 2,5k $ as the minimum before the next bull run, but this number was taken from the sky and nobody actually knows what is going to be the lowest drop of the number one crypto.

Yes, lets prepare and monitor the crypto market to protect our investment. Study the crypto market trend as posted, we can also review the market history for us to have a sound mind decision on what to do to protect our profit. But always bear in mind that crypto market is very volatile, and unpredictable.

This should be the mindset of every investors and we should be ready for every risk. Always be ready for the worst, and also for a greater future that is waiting for us. This market is not perfect, we will see big pump and dump along the road so we must be more stronger. Just keep on investing because cryptomarket will continue to develop its own technology to provide good services to all of us.

I also think the same that bitcoin is really difficult to go back again the price might rise but it will not last long making us difficult and complicated to make buying and selling quickly this will be very difficult for us to get back trust like yesterday

I think we need to be always prepared for the things that will come either bad or good just like in cryptocurrency world. If you start to engage in here it is automatic that you join prepared because not all the times you can gain in here and not all the times cryptocurrency is positive especially in the market. Preparedness is a must so that you will never be disappointed and have a back up plan.

For what is happenning in the late 2018 is not really good for cryptocurrency, that the crypto is lowering its price value , but we are expecting and hoping that in the coming year the rise of value will be replacing the falldown, but these are only expectations ,in case the season will continue  we must try not to be diassapointed but prepare for the worst if nothing really happen good for the market next year.

in my opinion the price of bitcoin is below $ 4000 is the lowest price, until now there are no signs that the price of bitcoin will reverse. if the tone of opinion at this time is not the lowest price bitcoin must be accompanied by analysis and do not do speculation because it is too high risk

I like bitcoin and from there I am not only prepared for the possibility of increasing bitcoin, but I also prepare to prepare for the worst.

Nice prediction but for me.before you made this kind of thread,better learn to post first in the right section,and this is deserving in Speculation section where all the post and comments are speculative,things that might come true or will never.

For me bottom are already hit since we saw a below $3,500 price last week,and this is enough reason to wait for the coming of bull

After a few days, Bitcoin began to rise $ 4000 and above, but now the price has fallen again and does not last long whether this will continue to fall

Maybe in the year there will be more trust from investors.

We are not sure about the bottom or the price to rise. we should guard our market every time. 2,500 bottom is just your prediction and it is not 100 percent to happen.
We can find BTC price any time on top or if the worst came it can be down in just few minutes.

I am prepared for the worst but expecting better at this stage.
We are not sure of anything in this crypto world. we better be ready as always.
like what i always do, i do buy more at low and wit for the rise.

maybe before investing with crypto currencies, investors must know that the risks obtained in investing are very large and we all can not know the future developments if our beliefs are great, of course we are ready even with the worst conditions.

Indeed, we should be ready for all variants of developments in the market of crypto-currencies, but it’s not worthwhile to establish any lower aisle of Bitcoin prices (or other coins), since these forecasts will not lead to anything good. Hopefully in the near future, we will see a change in trend and price growth in the market.

I am ready for the fate of bitcoin in the future, but even though bitcoin looks worrying but I don't need to worry too much, and I still believe bitcoin still has a chance to rise.

In the beginning of the cryptocurrency we don't expect much more in this field but the days can we are expecting a lot more from cryptocurrency to serve for us but nowadays the Crypto field are not as good as the previous year so many of the investors and uses of cryptocurrencies are going to some other way of learning but some of US had a lot of confidence and hopes in his or her mind and I will definitely say the hope will not go down at any time.

That is always better to prepare handling for the worst instead of a give up. As the learnings lead us to a certain point in crypto it is always a challenge to enrich knowledge and take new ways to be a master in the ground.

Many arguments about $2500 but I think it can go to about $2k and will hold for a very long time there until 2020. Many in the top 50 will bail out the total market cap. Also with the upcoming updates and new techs in 2019, the price and market cap will still be in volatility.

Well it's now gotten to the extent every one would start predicting and criticising even without a good reason or fact to do so. Bitcoin has started to grow and the price is on the rise

The bearish run of the bitcoin starting from the beginning of 2018 heralded the newest trend of the bitcoin and the unpredictability of the bitcoin and crypto financial space at large. Many altcoins took a bashing as a corresponding fall of the bitcoin. Right now the tendency for the markets to heal is not anywhere near as the world markets including the oil markets is still struggling. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for a brighter future. However, let every investor have an alternative to financial freedom.

If your all waiting to buy at the perfect bottom, well then i got bad news, it aint gonna happen.

You only need too look back at forum posts/threads from previous years of downtrend and you will notice that even when the bottom was in, the majority of people were calling it to drop further. Even months after the bottom had come and gone and the up trend has started, people were STILL calling for the bottom.

Yes I don't think we bottomed yet. But really hope 2019 Q2 will bring some great figures. So for now hodl and accumulate.

Why dont you think we have bottomed yet?

Its good to be ready and prepared rather than regret it at the end. We can say that Bitcoin has not find its bottom yet because its always possible to go it down. Its good to be prepare and have a plan when you can feel that it will decreasing. When you feel that it will down you will do your plan to keep money decrease its value. You should always have a strategy before its too late.

Getting rekt is the shortest way to gain experience before jumping to other side. In short: Expect the worst and you wouldn't be disappointed. Markets don't work like this,harmony repeats itself in every timeframe,every cycle.

We have to be prepared everytime even for worst but when there still has opportunity do not let it go without doing nothing into it. Price drops but it is not the bottom yet where we have to leave the market. There is a chance that we could gain profit when we take risk to invest to invest in lower price rather than thinking that market getting worst because it going to recover even little amount where we could see the potential of the coin to grow again.

I think we are already prepared because it's been very bearish this year and yet we are still here and survive.
What we should do by next year is to make a plan when to sell and don't make the same mistake last year where we are so greedy.

Be ready to see these movements of the prices for a pretty long time. The bears are fighting with the bulls now, and still, no one knows who can win. I bet on the bulls as Bitcoins and the best alts raise

In reality, almost nothing has changed these days. The prices are still bouncing greatly and as I suppose, they will continue doing it for several months more. However, nothing so very bad will happen.

In crypto platform number of changes was happened that is prices moving up and down and BCH hardfork was collapse the crypto market. These are all the major changes but day trading is good profitable platform in recent days so high level traders are make more profit in quickly so some worst cases are useful in all the time.

I am prepared for the worst, I think the worst possibility is the price that dips down, but I believe that will not be the end because crypto will definitely be able to recover.

There's no worse to prepare for, except if you were looking for fast gain or shortcut to big interest initially. Btc will definitely be back at the very top price again, so there is no worse to prepare for. This is the worse already I think.

it's about time we stopped this posts about bad things happening to crypto prices here. People come here to get encouraged so when these things are posted here, it will only drive them away. There are good things ahead so when you see some short time bad signs, just manage it and wait for the good times to come.

I read some speculations that this year, it might break  the resistance of $2,500. I hope not. Some investors are turning their back on bitcoin as the market's situation isn't good for so many months now. I hope that bitcoin will regain it's correction and go back to $8500.

It will just wait... recovery takes time...
Don't expect t going down any more.

Hello, in the end it does not look as bad as at the time of writing your article. Of course in the crypto world, expect unexpected and vice versa.
The Bitcoin price has been developing for a very long time, so a certain amount of time is needed to improve the price.
You never know what direction it moves. Now it looks promising for bitcoin and for the other cryptos even better.

With a market that is so turbulent, we must always have the readiness to accept what will happen next, even though it is probably the worst.

In preparation for the worsr you should have enough holdings to prosper in the future price hike that will eventually contribute to price increase. Let's all prepare not just during bull run, but also these days while bearish market took over price downfalls which really affected a lot of new traders.

The movements of bitcoin's price is highly unpredictable and the uncertainty in cryptocurrencies market is very high and that is why we should expect anything from the market.  It is good we should invest the fund we can afford to lose and put stop lose order in place.

Expect anything or better yet, don't expect at all. I don't think we're strictly following any historical trends now so there's really no point of comparison for me. I guess people should just have a sound plan and stick to it so there won't be any regrets.

If you were just going to think positive. That worst you are saying won't look like it was, instead it's better. It's an oppurtunity, it's your chance to buy at a lower price. Let's just think on it's positive side and stop stressing yourself and someone with that worst which is actually not. Look at those pro trader, it's good for them wether the price goes down or up.

Let your hearts all be prepared. If you want to survive in this market, dont withdraw your coins. Let it be all there and dont think about that always or youll get stressed.  After this phenomenon, im sure you are all be thankful to yourselves because you have patience and you can now harvest your hard earned money.

You are right, this decline is the worst, it can be even worse, but I have no doubt about the time when Bitcoin can grow higher than before. I think at this point bitcoin is still able to survive at 3k until mid-year, most likely there will be no high growth this year. I think maybe 2020 is the time to start buying

I don't think there will be any further decline in the market value of Bitcoin in time to come because I strongly believe we have already seen the bottom in some couple of months back. I have done my best to have invested at the time Bitcoin market value was below $3200.

By saying we should expect anything sound to me as if that you have no direction in your submission and I would love if you can take a stand and not to sit on the fence by saying anything can happen in the crypto currency market.

Bitcoin if it goes to $2500 is not the worst we can see. It is expected in the world of crypto and that doesn't bring Bitcoin to an end, there will be a time of only upward movement. We just have to remain positive and also patient.

With cryptocurrency it is always good to prepare for the worst, this lets the users get the best out of cryptocurrency even by the hard times of the market. When a user focus and prepare for the growth and move in that way automatically the portfolio of the user gets disturbed and there will be decline in value, but preparing for the worst gives a positive growth on portfolio.

We never know, we have no idea what will happen next.

Honestly, I am not thinking about it as I think the bottomed is already in, so not price dump from here anymore.


The fundamentals are good, the result should be uptrend because it should be an increase of value.
Price volatility, a pump and dump is just part of the market we cannot erase that, but the real value will eventually show up, so waiting for that time is a wise move.

Yes! Everyone believes that bitcoin will rise again this year. Many Bitcoin's price analyst predicted that this year and 2020 are the years of bull. It is quitely moving now and my opinion is 2019 is the year of change. Sometimes worst are surprising and shocking especially if didn't prepare. Being ready everyday will make you to save or to be safety of those worst things.

But those predictions and speculations are only rumors by those people who wanted to speculate the market even they know that it is unpredictable. I don't care or think worst is coming, I believed that time will come to Bitcoin and other crypto's will goes up the price. So, yes we have to patiently wait that moment comes and I know it will come. Just hold as much as you can.

It is still possible for the price to go even lower but I do not see it, it seems that more people are coming to the market and are getting ready and buying bitcoin, this could probably be a signal that it is possible that we could see a correction and the price could go up during the next months and if that is true then it will be a mistake to stay out of the market during the next months.

Yes, you agree we must be prepared for the worst that happens to bitcoin. We must still be prepared for the worst possibility because the fluctuations are so high that anything can happen. It is true that good things will never come easily, and definitely need a process. But I don't think bitcoin will fall to the price of $ 2,500 because bitcoin is currently stable at $ 3,800 since its fall a few months ago. So this is the deepest price, and will recover gradually. So I don't think the price of bitcoin will reach $ 2,500 even though that might happen but I don't think like that.

What correction are you talking about ?  The correction is already over because the price is now showing signs of recovery . if more people will enter the crypto market , that can also cause for the price to jump  and it cannot cause a correction because afaik a correction is the dump or the decline of the price  . for  me i think this is already the bottom because the price of bitcoin is now cheap and this is already enough to attract potential investers .

If that's true we don't need to be afraid, don't just watch and help other people's success, let's create opportunities and establish our determination to achieve satisfying results, for me 2500 is not the price to be hated, but that is the best price to buy. I cannot state with certainty about the upcoming price of bitcoin. For those of you who are familiar with market conditions, of course you often hear the term fluctuations, currency fluctuations are words that are very closely related to trading activities especially cryptocurrency.  So, I'm not very sure the price of bitcoin will forever be in a downturn.

I think we should really prepared for the wost and keep faith with the market in investing.  Many people has abandoned the cryptocurrency market and that is why it is good that we the enthusiast should keep investing and promote bitcoin and cryptocurrencies market.

Particularly with cryptocurrency keeping ourselves ready for the worst gives good outcome unlike the market fluctuations. I've experienced this personally in reality through bitcoin. As the market looked bullish around the end days of 2017, even though I had bitcoin to meet my business I borrowed and used on business expecting big growth than its ath. In a short things went out of my hands, and now I'm in debt of about $7000.

Staying faithful in cryptocurrency trading is better than thinking about the destruction of cryptocurrency, because so many coins of course are destroyed a lot but those who survive until the end of time may also exist. Be optimistic.
Facing the problem of the price that continues to decline does have to be patient, exactly the same as the initial occurrence of the rise of bitcoins which cost only USD 1, and bitcoin owners always hope when the price of bitcoin becomes expensive. The miracle came at the end of 2017 the price of bitcoin almost reached USD 20,000.
Therefore, I think the worst possibility of crypto trading is the destruction of many coins that are not in demand by the market, but at least the top 10 coins will still survive.

Recovering market is not easy but we can easily increase the value again of the bitcoin if the people will not panic and they start investing again their money to the bitcoin. We cannot down more the price before the marker become better because we can do market in our hands because as investors we need to take care and love the bitcoin to rise the value and if the bitcoin up the whole crypto market will up also.

I think so, in my opinion the worst is already over, the price falls thousands of percent already and $3k is the lowest price of bitcoin with marketcap and current bitcoin development. I don't think bitcoin will fall deeper again, we should be prepared for the good news it will create a positive atmosphere..

On a funny note, i would like to know how much you have invested to stabilize the price of bitcoin :P . People have not abandoned the crypto market, the riders who ride the market when there is a rally might have abandoned the market and they might come back when there is yet another bull run, other than that the transactions per day remains almost the same like before and there is no dip in that either, the market is showing signs of recovery and it is a positive sign for investors who are looking to make profit.

Im always prepared for the worst things that will happen to crypto market. But in the current situation of the market i dont feel any worries.

The risks and benefits cannot be separated from crypto, and of course I will accept everything I will receive. Not only for the sake of profit, but I am also prepared for the worst conditions.

yes, with the current market conditions, this is very happy indeed. but you should not be complacent, and must keep in mind that bad things can always happen.
the most important thing for now is let's take advantage of this momentum as our advantage today.

Many speculations are spreading that the deepest bottom of bitcoin will be $800 and that i think will not gonna happen. Many investors will actually expecting the opposite predictions. Bitcoin already reached $4000, expect another bull run in a few days or weeks.

Well a lot of those riders probably have exited at a loss anyways during 2018 lol. And there's nothing to lose if you prepare for worst days to come. I know that we've probably bottomed out already but there are times when the market just wouldn't give is a good shot, and being prepared for anything that can happen is the best thing anyone can do.

Being prepared for those negative situations which may arise is the best ways to have these days, and looking forward to what will be the outcome is. Hoping for the best can be in opposite for that, and probably that what everybody is seeing right now. Most of the traders this time were like wolves whose hunting for their preys, so don't be alarmed those time that we seem to observe some price fluctuations getting much worst due to panic holders.

I think now, the best thing to do is wait, because as the market is, it is finding itself in a small lateralization. According to Livermore, when there are no entries in any position the best thing to do is observe, because a small bullish trap may be brewing, and if we go into Long it may fall.


However waiting patiently for a movement in the market, can easily allow us to take a position, that is, we can react, which is totally different from predicting that it turns out to be more risky at the moment. I have seen many negative news now, this can mean that many people sell or can sell, precisely at $ 4k is a good area of ​​opportunity, which for many people turns out to be on a psychological level to stay there.

It's up to you on what you believe, but I believe we already hit the bottomed.
We are trading stable at $4,000 now and so far this year, I can tell it's a positive price movement, not only for BTC but for the entire market.

How you prepare for global economy crisis? You can buy cryptocurrencies and be safe, its one way to protect yourself from one scenario, but there can be many scenarios and nobody can be prepared for everything. Know little from everything, have something from everything, when some falls others will rise, its how I see the future, prepared for that is having your assets in more than one place, have some gold, have some cryptocurrencies, have a bank accounts in different countries, more you have on more places you need to have something, when one start to fall you have other ones.

Same here meyt . thats is also what im thinking about , i think that we already hit the bottom because the correction is finally over and price is now starting to move  up .  the guy above saying that 800  usd is the real bottom which is i find impossible  because there are now alot of people that particpated on crypto and they are mainly compose of hodlers and investors  , aside from them there were also newbie investors and crypto enthusiast that will enter the crypto scene. 

You're not helping the market to revive the highest value but it can cause yoy panic to the newbie trader.
Can you lool the value now! Because price now is $4000 it is only a little improvemnt but atleast they have sign that bull run will possible to come. Better for us to prepare for the better because the value of the bitcoin will become better in the next few weeks or months comes.

It is that time where I believe that market is about to regains its lost ground and price. We will see shoot up in the prices in coming time and market will bounce back again and be top of it. Demands will start pouring in when we see some upward price movement happening.

If we resolve this consolidation to the downside I would look for a bottom at around $2500 and if that does not hold I think we will see price dropping below $2000, most probably to about $1800. But BTC might take a leg up from here and who knows.. maybe return to a bull market, but until we don't confirm that my bias is bearish.

Each one must buy bitcoin ; people lose their investement in icos!! bitcoin the first currency in internet
Do not wait until 2020
bitcoin as a need union and cooperation
Time is very fast. What is the point of looking at prices and feeling hopeless?
Wall 4000 was not fall! This shows the lack of confidence in buying
Buy bitcoin only and stop guessing

Get used to it clark, everyone is free to give his TA and opinion about the market. There's nothing wrong if he sees base from his technical analysis that bitcoin can go as low as $2,500. And in fact, he's not the only one who told speculations like this.

It swings from $3,900 to $4,000 and there's a possibility that it can go back to $3,800 or lower. We just can't predict and dictate the market's behavior at this moment, it's very unpredictable and most of the TA's too were inaccurate.

Both the possibilities were provided, we're supposed to get prepared focusing on both the scenarios mentioned in the above quote. As mentioned it is impossible to come up with a prediction that exactly meets the real time growth. When we keep ourselves active focusing on fall and if a price pumping happens it will keep the user stable. Same time when price pumping is expected and price dumping happens it makes the user loss his portfolio value.

You almost got the speculation about the bottoming since we almost hit below $3,000 but I don’t think we will get another fall from this as we are now seeing good pump,sitting confidently at $,4000 we will be having good 2019

Everyone losses when the market is on the dumping session, you can only take advantage of it when you have a plan to start buying while we're on that phase. As for those traders, they aren't worried about that because it's already their practice.

But for most of the holders, it's either of the three, holding while buying or holding while selling to cut loss or holding and standing firm with your holdings. You are right that everyone should be prepared focusing on any possible outcome.

Is it only on Kraken? Sharp drop since one hour ongoin, could form same pattern as seen on 3/21/2019 just days ago. Small bounce would confirm, still pending.

When trading preparing for the worst is a normal thing but if you have enough management skills you won't be needing it frequently. Preparing for the worst case scenario to happen is a great idea according to some traders they manage to lessen their loses by preparing a lot of contingency plan if the trade fails. Holding a coin for a long time means that money is dead to you otherwise you will be hesitant whether you will not use that money or get it out befote it's too late.

It's trading currently at $3,897.60 in Kraken exchange but in other exchange, it's still trading at $3,900 above.
Sometimes prices differs but what I'm really looking is the general trading average and I am not seeing a significant dump based on  this. (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#markets)

Each exchanges have some different set of market cap and price values so we will never predict the all exchanges value. If they see sharply in all the altcoin some coins price will going to moon. So we must pic our desired gems in crypto investment.

This does not happen most of the time, it's very rare to see price differences especially for high volume coins.
If there is a price differences, it would not be good for the market as traders can arbitrage on it.

Nothing is as bad as you thought, because crypto trading in my opinion is still normal, the problem of rising or falling prices is something that is common in any business.
The concern is of course our expertise in analyzing a coin that will move in which direction, up or down so that the predictions we set provide profit.

It is not occur at all the time, But we must agree this situation because of huge volume coin fluctuation is really disappointed in trading platform and all are panic to sell continuously in that exchange so it make some noise. We better tackle this situation we will never argue this issue.

As mentioned arbitrage Trading happens in the market very rarely, and also it is very risk involved. Because being in one country and making an buying in other country requires a support from a person residing in the next country. This happens only on trust and I have seen the biggest of such an opportunity with India and rest of the world when demonetization came to effect in India during 2017.

The worst possibility is the price that falls too deep, but that won't make the crypto die. It is not yet time for crypto to end, still holding because it will be an opportunity for future profits.

I don't think that we are currently are having situation that would need preparation for the worst case scenario. Still every good investor and trader has a back up plan and escape strategy for rainy days. But I don't expect some deep dump and bigger problem on the market so I don't think this will be necessary.

Thats true. Incase something went wrong we must have a back up plan to count on if the situation is getting worse. However it doesnt mean the market will stays in deep forever, lets keep in mind especially to newbies that its high volatile therefore everything can change without specific timeframe.

Well if you have been in crypto for few years already this statement is not different to other news circulating on how bad the status of crypto market for not increasing after the last ATH. Its better to have your own analysis to make a decision on whether to stay or believe those who always state their worries due to the downtrend.

I like how this post was timed, when people get realistic in recognising the bottom is not where you want it to be exactly then the ironic effect is for the market to be more likely to put in a base to rise from.
When we're optimistic and out of touch or just hoping, the market is more likely to continue slipping as the hopes of people is a weak grip rather then the determination to hold despite a lower price being possible.


Its irritating but also kinda of beautiful and a reflects a natural market imo, if Bitcoin resembles other markets, graphs and price action in commodities or similar then I appreciate it might be operating far better then some believe despite being volatile beyond normal physically traded holdings

In fact, I think we should start to discard extreme volatility scenarios in which the price could move in one direction or another up to 50% in a matter of hours. In my opinion over the past few months the market, and especially the bitcoin has been consolidated in such a way that it could well behave quite similarly to fiat currencies, in which a 1% slip is usually already taken as high volatility.

Therefore, while it is true that in this uncertain market nothing is written, a catastrophic scenario below $1,000 seems as unlikely as a quick return to the $20,000 mark.

That would bring another panic in the market, and I think it will be hard to recover if we will fail at that price again.
It's 20 times lower from ATH, and we don't want to see that happening, unless all of us are long term investors who can wait at least 5 years to sell.

I think you created this thread so the people will be panic, there is a lot of thread who are saying bad feedbacks about bitcoin and you what we do that we ignore it because it can't help to the bitcoin. Look tje price now is for sure you will say to yourself oh wrong prediction to the bitcoin price because now is $4000 .

When the price was cheaper, the risk-takers have gained. I can not lie about the lack of risk, but the investment will be acceptable as much as you can risk. My only suggestion is to try to evaluate opportunities.

As long as there is no "fair price", crypto will remain completely unpredictable

Many posters at first had been seriously thinking that Bitcoin couldn't crash below 6k as that was considered the ultimate lower limit determined by the profitability of mining. I don't know if the real mining costs (averaged) were close to that figure but we crashed almost two times below 6k without taking into account this consideration (and then Bitcoin miners started to sell out their mining rigs for the lack of profits)

In this way, any price is speculative or even random (think a random walk here). It is not determined by real use and adoption which would prevent sudden dumps, and as such there is nothing that could potentially arrest "the worst case scenario" if it is set to happen

For me, there is no difference - is Bitcoin 4000 now worth it, or can it cost $ 2,500 in a month or one and a half, I am a long-term investor and at the moment is set up exclusively for a long wait. I am ready to wait a few years if need be. No negative news can shake me in my intention.

It doesn't matter for long term holders. And this should be the attitude of most long term holders and I think everyone is learning to not depend with such news, FUD or anything that can change our way of making decision.

People who love to spread FUD are everywhere. It's better to ignore people who do this.

Those that has made it very big has the same mind you have and the wise investor said "buying when others are fearful and sell when they are greed is the best investment process" if you can keep holding no matter what happened to the market there is no way you will not make it because the good bitcoin price is still yet to come.

Any serious fall in the market will not be tolerated easily am sure such will hit the market hard that it might become unbearable for everybody and nobody will want to hear that To me i think that huge downfall is really impossible

If I'm not mistaken, that wise investor was Warren Buffett

But you should keep in mind that blindly buying something in the down market is no guarantee of success. On the contrary, it is in fact a recipe for disaster. What Warren Buffett meant is that valuable assets in such a market are heavily oversold and undervalued, so you can buy them really cheap, that's true indeed, but valuable asset is not equal any asset. Thus, you should first find such an asset and distinguish it from other assets, i.e. do what every wise investor does all the time
