I will said you should not really following the others that has failed to believe in the future of cryptocurrencies.  Remember that this time in 2015 bitcoin was below $500 but after two years we can see how much profits those that refuses to sell then has made if they sell in 2017 December. Holding is the best way of making money from the cryptocurrencies market and you should have the mind to hold for long-term and avoid the noise that comes out every day.

This is serious and I think $4950 is the next support level.  The market capitalization of the cryptocurrencies has also fall to $168billion . It seems the market is taking the way it went up last year and it might been heading towards $3000. This time last year I didn't think I have a thought that bitcoin is going to fall to this level and I was even saying and analyzing that the lowest it will go is $10,000.$20,000 is not possible this year again.  We are praying for bitcoin to go above $7000 before end of the year.  If bitcoin recovered next week then I believe that is going to get above $6,000.

Bitcoin is heading toward $4500 base on the level it is falling today.  I am surprised to see bitcoin just a little above $5000 . Things are really going down and to me it is still worth to hold if you have a long term view in mind.  Selling now is selling at loses, above 50% of those holding bitcoin must have bought above  the current price.  It takes serious patient for you to keep faith with the market as the current market conditions is discouraging.

Ethereum maybe heading towards double digit and is not good for cryptocurrencies.  I read an article that said ethereum is heading toward were started from.  The over all general conditions of the cryptocurrencies market is not favourable and I think we should expect any meaningful bullish trend from next year.  The ways the whole thing is going is actually discouraging but that is how it was in 3 years back.  
I believe that people stop investing in icos because of the scam activities going on and once there is security people will start investing again.  Ethereum is going to improve in price somedays to come.
Investors are really discouraged and many are dumping out of depression and frustration.  If we can be a bit patience? things are going to change in future.

I started to get interest on arbitrage in cryptocurrencies since last year but I could not start for lack of information but I later started in September and though it is less risky but the profits also is not there. I believe among the trading ways arbitrage is the easiest as you just need to know how to track the difference in price in different exchanges and buy from one and sell for another and takes the difference as profits after less fees.  The one that I have see and do is not easy as you have to take volumes into consideration and also the fees as most time the volume may not be able to cover your orders.

For me, for a new traders to succeed you most gathered experience from a fail trade.  Trading is not all about selecting the best exchange platforms but how to analyze the trend and invest along its behavior. The only people that keep making profits are the professionals and skillful investors.  I am in many trading group both on facebook and telegram and one thing that I have find out is that  there are people that will tell you the next  direction in any coins movements and I believe that those people were able to train themselves in that ways. That is another way that moneymakescents has learned and developed his mind on trading.  Like he has said we should avoid the noise and invest on those coins that has future.

I don't know that there is thread like this were the list of services providers are.  This is a very nice development and any icos started up project can easly take any of those services and make a successful ico. I hope op, the ico will commence very soon?

That is good because the rate I sow it this morning I was thinking that it is going to crash to $10. I was happy to see bitcoin cash bance to $345. For our fellow investors that were able to buy and invest in bitcoin cash this morning and sold this evening they have made serious profits.

Stress has become a normal thing to our generation and about 80 to 85% people are going Through some faces of stress or another.  I think we should learn from our great grand parents that were able to live many years without stressed.  The generation we are living in is a stressful generations and If you keep visiting social media and news sites you will become stressful because of what you hear and see.
Instead of doing those things that make you stressful why not began to meditate and pray. You can listen to this master and learn from his wealth of wisdom about life and stress.

That is a great statements made by IMF chief and she really spoke the reality.  We are going to have a very serious surge in investments into cryptocurrencies market in the year  2019. All this statements is like a preparations for what is going to happen next year.  We all know that blockchain technology is transparent and if the world want to used a transparent system the best thing to do is to adopt blockchain technology. Yes, the important personality are becoming aware of the important of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.  I believe that time is going to prove to our financial agency that the world needs a system like this very one and we should keep promoting cryptocurrencies in our own ways.

Maybe it is a temporary act and we should wait and see what happens next.  I was afraid when I sow bitcoin cash below $150 this morning but now I have see it getting over $350. This is a very nice profits for those that were able to buy this morning and sold this afternoon.  I think bitcoin cash is not going to die and at this cheap price in this trying time I believe is the best time to buy.

I think the bull market will commence in 2019 as this year is almost over. Traders are even afraid to invest now and the whales are seriously manipulating the cryptocurrencies market.  If we keep sell at this low prices we are really feeding the whales as said by the op.
If you will be patient and holding there is no way you will not sell above your purchasing price in some years to come.  I also believe that bitcoin is going to surge in 2019 and 2020 and my confidence is on the historical data and market behavior for the past five years.

I really agree with you that we may not see bitcoin as low as the current price again and this is really time to buy back.  Bitcoin went to below $5,500 on some exchanges platforms today and I believe that if you can buy it now you will makes some profits in some days and weeks to come. Yes the market is scary but those that really make money from cryptocurrencies market, forex and stocks are those that buy when the price is low and sell when it is very high.  If you can put yourself on those groups there is no way you will not make money or profits.
The fearful will never make money from this market and the fearless investors are those that buy at the right time and sell when it started pumping.

Bitcoin cash fork is seriously affecting cryptocurrencies market as the price of almost all the coins are falling.  The competition between bitcoin cash and sv is going to be real in some days to come and this is going to affect the price in the future.  I think we are going to see the price of bitcoin cash divided into two in somedays coming.
Bitcoin surging in price may not happen this year again as the strength to go up is very limited and there is a whole way to go down.  I think this year remain the bearish market years and the remaining part of the year is not going to make any serious different.

Bitcoin really get dumped this week and I think since this year it has not gotten to this level of bearish market.  Why we are See the current market conditions as a surprise many including op has forecasts this.  I believe some people here has an insider information about the market behavior and invest or sell along those information.  In cryptocurrencies we are aware that bitcoin or others coins can get pump and dump anytime but the yesterday and today own takes many of us unaware. For the remaining part of this year I don't think we can see a great Positive move again and all our expectations should be shifted not next year.

The market has lost momentum to push further yesterday and from there clash to the level that we are now praying for bitcoin to get above $7000 before end of December.  Bitcoin needs over $800 to be able to get to were it was yesterday morning.  I think we need to encourage ourself and keep holding and for those that are dumping you are part of those that are killing this market.  Most of us here buy bitcoin above $10,000 and if you because of what is happening now and dumped then you are going to regret and loses at the same time.  Xmas bull run is out of place! Maybe next year.

We are already in and whatever happens we have to face it.  $5000  is possible and turning from $5600 is also possible.

  I just read a post now when the op said bitcoin is never going to go below $5000 but to me we can not really predict this market and the best thing to do is, knowing how volatile this market is and buying as much as you could when it is down and do likewise when it up.  
Remember that since yesterday bitcoin has lose over $750 dollars and this is a huge loses in the face of this bearish market.  If you are still holding it is best to keep holding until you can sell above your purchase price as bitcoin will still recover in future.

 If you have risked capital you can also buy now that bitcoin is extremely cheap.

Because of the financial involvement and trading has been classified as one of the risky venture I think it is not an entertainment.  Cryptocurrencies trading is highly risky and if you did not put more effort into it there is no way you will be able to make profits from it.  You must understand both technical and fundamentals analysis in analyzing the market and trade along with Trend in other to be able to make profits from the market.

$13billions has just been wiped off of cryptocurrencies market and bitcoin has loss about $700 in just around 4 hour.  I will like to ask the expect here what is really happening?  I believe that for the last seven months bitcoin has not gone down like e this and bitcoin is the most hit.  Ethereum has seriously getting dumped too.  Are we heading towards $3000 as speculated by some of us here or bitcoin is going to recover around $5200.
What is the next step to take? Your advice is highly appreciated.

This is very serious and it then means we have to prepare for 2020 then!  I have said in one of the post I made some weeks back that 2019 is a year to watch by and what happened in 2019 is what is going to determine the next bull run.  We may have short term bullish trend along the way but the serious one may be in 2020. Last year is a year that we would live to remember and 2020 is going to be another years that we would remember in the history of cryptocurrencies. With what happens today ,bitcoin may not get to $10,000  this year again.  The dump is really and it might even fall further.
Now we are praying for bitcoin to get to were it is in some days back as it has lost above $500 today alone and it has not stopped.
