- I think the degree of difficulty depends on your understanding of that field, like me and you and a lot of people here, we don't know too much about trading stocks, and we often hear that people who say trading stocks are very difficult but it's true or not, we still don't know exactly because we haven't had direct participation, don't feel clearly what happens in there. While for crypto trading, we participate very early, understand the principles and movement of the market, we have knowledge and too much experience, and that makes us feel crypto trading is better but in fact, that's the thinking that comes from our psychology.

- I don't think so, I think they are a factor that most affects the price of bitcoin because although as you say, they do not control or manage bitcoin directly, but the information they provide, it affects a very large range. And whales can take advantage of the information then turn this information into their tool, and create a red market, so when we look from the outside, whales are probably the main factor but looking deeper, the government is the one who gives whales the opportunity, the government does not directly change the price of bitcoin but they indirectly do it

- Although for a long time, we still can not see too many outstanding projects and bring profits to investors but we should still understand the cause of this story, which is the weakening of the market affecting ico. The market collapsed and investors feared, they did not provide capital to ico, ico was stronger or more prominent, it was not enough to develop but I believe this situation will improve as soon as the market has certain recoveries, ico culture still has a very long time to survive, it will not easily end like that

- I don't think so, the situation of the market is constantly fluctuating and with such conditions, doing trading daily will be an appropriate choice because with small waves in the market, we can ride on them and get a lot of profit if we have enough skills and experience. Although it still has risks but this risk is probably very small when the price of altcoin and bitcoin has fallen very deep, it is very difficult to drop further, even if we get stuck in a trading order, we can still escape only after a short wait while long-term investments are probably not so promising with such a market situation

- Well, exactly as you say, this is not a new thing because some countries have allowed Bitcoin ATM to appear, that seems to be a sign of support for bitcoin users, helping bitcoin penetrate deeper into the lives of many people, this is really great. However, I can see the number of people using bitcoin ATM is quite small because people who hold bitcoins mostly use cash for everyday life, even for gambling, cash is still the top priority, rarely use bitcoin, BItcoin ATM is probably not as effective as expected

- There is no certainty about any event or pump, everything can happen at any time, and so we should try to accumulate as you say, as much as possible but remember that investing only with what we can lose, should not be reckless and bet all, it will be very dangerous. After completing these necessary preparations, what we should do is take a break and use our time to wait and observe the market, we should not expect and predict bull run time because predictions are hard to be accurate at this time, expectations and hopes only make us feel depressed and impatient when the bull run doesn't come

- A lot of people are falling into your situation, the market goes down too unexpectedly, even until now, it still has no sign of recovery or good return, and that makes every activity around crypto almost stalled, and everyone suddenly disoriented and had no plans for this market. I was also surprised and did not know what to do next when this red market came and an advice I received from experienced friends in crypto is that we should look for some bounty to join, search for random luck like you say or join trading day with some capital small, improve skills and improve our speculation about market movement

- More precisely, they are trying to invest in these two assets in parallel because both have different advantages and disadvantages, both can be profitable and investors need to invest in both to optimize things but during this time, they will focus and turn to gold when the value of bitcoin is in the adjustment period, it still can not bring them profit. Continuing to invest in bitcoin may face risks, so they move to gold when the value of gold is quite stable, investing in it will be very good and can be profitable in the future.

- Well, you calculate very well and perfectly, you seem to know everything will happen as you say but you think this market will change as you wish or not, of course you will answer no because you are not a whale, you can not control the market, and investing in bitcoin in 2019 will be profitable not a certainty. You know the uncertainty and assurance from this investment, that's why you don't have the courage to buy bitcoin, Bitcoin has too many dangers and risks at this moment, the best is as that guy said, come back after the market situation is better

- In the present time, buying those tokens is not very good as you say because the market situation is not good, it has a big impact on investors and the development of ico projects, although we can still choose and see very potential projects but after it is listed on the exchange, everything goes down at a dizzying speed. A lot of people have plans to buy it after it is listed at a very cheap price and they hope the recovery from the market will be profitable for them, and a very sad result is that they do not receive profits, even their loss is becoming bigger over time

- Agree, resurgence will definitely happen to ico projects that are still on the market and that altcoin has the potential to grow in the future because bull run is a period when the market receives a lot of new capital, investors will be able to recover their assets and receive profits, and of course, they will continue to invest in projects, old money will generate new money. With dead projects, maybe as you say, unless miracles come to them, but I believe these projects will soon come back with a new look when the market recovers, that is probably their resurrection in a different way

- Not only will some projects disappear, I believe most ico projects will disappear when they do not receive the appropriate investment, the collapse of bitcoin always creates very strong and direct influences, especially ico projects, everything is always very much related to bitcoin. The exchange will not close as you say but maybe they will no longer receive so much profit when investors and traders give up, trading volume will definitely become very low, strong crypto will still exist but I'm not sure people are interested when this situation has clearly stated that their loss is huge

- Indeed, if we learn and discuss with successful traders, they will provide us with lots of useful information and experience, helping us to have more development in the field of trading but this does not mean that we learn from successful traders, we will succeed like them. Because of the experiences and situations they went through, these are obsolete, and the knowledge that we learn from them, we can only apply a very small part to the current market, their success is unlikely to be our success, we need to create and accumulate experience from reality, not relying too much on their share

- Well, people always hope a lot in 2019, even believe that everything will have a breakthrough and create a surprise like 2017, and surprise really happened, but this surprise is not the surprise that we want, what we want is an increase. But this market only brings loss, a red and a serious collapse, instead of creating a very early growth wave, the market only created a wave of weakness and destroyed all beliefs from people, a lot of people were dumbfounded when they saw the price of bitcoin dropping every day, a very sad and depressing fact

- Indeed, when we pour money into investment, returning is impossible as you say, what we can do is continue with this game, calm down in thinking and limit strong emotions because that can make us wrong decisions. Theory and thinking are like that, but in fact, applying these things is really too difficult, we can not relax and believe that everything will be fine as this topic says, I believe a lot of people will have the same feelings as me because the money we lost is too big, and this number is still increasing when the market still shows a downward trend, everything almost signals the end of crypto and bitcoin.

- The real positive is that with the support of the government, people will invest more in bitcoin and the crypto market but the value of bitcoin will not increase so much as you think because I believe the government will have a very tight control over the price of bitcoin and the market, they will make the market less volatile, do not allow pumps and strong dumps to appear. Because pumping and pouring are tools to make the market chaotic, and chaos can cause huge damage to property, even people's lives, so they will protect people by stabilizing market prices and they want to be good for us but at the same time they also limit our opportunity to make money

- Competition and replacement can always happen in the crypto market, so even though eth is always in a high position and defeats all opponents behind it but that is not forever, the position of eth is never stable and peaceful. Especially in the previous period, ripple almost passed eth and defeated eth for a short time before being defeated again by eth, this shows us that the competition to become the best crypto in this market is very harsh, so waves may not grow or gain confidence from investors but it still has a chance to overcome eth as long as the whale wants and investors start supporting it strongly again

- Agree, every trader and investor likes exchanges that have a large trading volume and good security, these are very important factors for traders and investors to make money and store their money in the safest way. And now, the exchanges that I feel that many people proposed are probably binance and bittrex, these are the two platforms that provide very professional support and own the elements that people like, but as a trader and an investor, I think we should try and participate in all exchanges because each platform has its own strengths, sometimes we will need them

- I think you're dreaming or you've been drinking too much alcohol and now you're imagining the future without being realistic, the future of crypto is good or bad, people still can't say exactly but I believe everyone knows the dominance of crypto and replacing fiat is impossible, the government is still strongly supporting fiat and they are still fighting crypto, crypto is difficult to compete with fiat. Although I do not know about the future but I know that now is the stage where we should worry and calculate before investing, even worry about the future of crypto when market conditions are too bad and full of grim

- Yes, bitcoin is still the most popular, the number of people looking for it increases every day, which shows its appeal has never decreased but now, as you say, the price of bitcoin has dropped below $4000, it even has many signs of moving down to under $3000, that has caused great disappointment for many new and old people. If this situation persists and does not recover, the popularity of bitcoin will gradually decrease when people feel it is not as good as it was in the past, hope it will create light in the near future, instead of desperation for investors
