Not just depressed volatility but manipulation, hacking and Fuds that drives the price of the bitcoin down and now they are trying to spread that bitcoin will down to the bottom of $4k so if that was achieved what's next? $2k or $1k articles and posts explaining their speculation and analysis they are too greedy to bring the price of bitcoin down to the bottom just to accumulate more? then pump the price to create fomo.

Sharks create Fud's not just panic to accumulate more cheap bitcoins, so for the question of how long it will last? there's no definite answer to that question as we can just rely on speculations, analysis, and news every day to figure out what the hell is happening to the crypto market, the bullish run is still possible, just withstand price crashes and hold or buy more.

January ban was lifted but it was restricted only for the crypto ads which are pre-approved by Facebook and the deal is ICO's are still restricted to promote their own project so not all of them will be given the opportunity to advertise read the full article, I hope Facebook will truly refine those scams from legitimate platforms, frauds already incurred some damages to crypto.

Don't depend your decisions from other people most especially from an anonymous person which is most probably shilling or advertising certain coins, most common words buy this X coins and you will get 20x ROI or there would be a buyback from this Y coin so invest to ride the pump, to the moon from this coins buy while it is cheap, consider them but don't depend research the coins from their suggestions and make your own conclusion as to what are you going to buy or not, most of all do your own research to find those hidden cryptos which will be worth a lot in the future.

Different exchanges have their own policies, fees, volumes, and pricing, different exchanges of different traders putting different prices from their buy and sell orders not mentioning some local exchanges which can make a difference from the price of a certain coin sometimes and some people trade with different exchanges and that is called arbitrage trading, it is so risky and you need to be very careful trading like that.

This trading strategy is not suitable if the ICO turns out to be a scam that's a possibility during the post-ICO events such as the product developments and exchange release we should choose those legit and worth holding projects, sometimes the price did not drop below ICO after the exchanges release and it keeps getting up to the point that it is so expensive so be careful when to hold and when to sell perfect timing with the knowledge of the ICO is pretty useful.

Why expect it next year when we are just in the half of this 2018, last year price same month was $2k plus and it spiked August till the mid of December but the current price in the present is fluctuating around $6k, losses are too much but there's a possibility to achieve that price again or even more this year, we can witness the lowest point of price this year but the good thing with crypto is you can speculate and expect also the reverse things.

The time will just tell it all when it is going to happen, it's true that it fell from the ATH $20k last year that almost 70% plus dropped but that is not the conclusion and the basis of the bitcoin's future price, every day is a movement don't expect it to have a gains and positive results, you are in the crypto world that anything might happen to your capitals and holdings, bitcoin will positively explode that the time will tell when.

It can if the Government wish to tax local exchanges and some major when you are cashing out to fiat that is a possibility and I heard some of the countries are starting to regulate cryptocurrency and the one step for this is to tax it and that would depend on their policy as to whatever they want to max out, I hope they don't abuse the regulation imposed to cryptocurrency.

The Thread title I thought it was another altcoin or token Eherium that the OP advertise but oh well it is ETH if there's a chance that bitcoin might fail which is impossible these days but for instance that happened then ETH will be the one who overtakes the number one spot, ETH is better for smart contracts and ICO supports which is a great but the most important thing is the price, adoption and community support that's why btc is better.

Venture out from different kinds of projects and you will see their investment methods, most of the ICO that I've encountered so far have the option to invest via fiat it all matters is the direction to deposit, not just ETH and BTC but some famous coins from the top 10 are accepted that would also depend on the ICO itself but that is not the choice alone.

That's true it should be the basic mindset of the holders whether it is a manipulation, weakly handed dumping because of fuds, the news and exchange hacking impacts the common thing always happens to the market price, it will definitely be going to have a price rise in just a matter of time to kill in order to profit from these bear markets and crashes, buy the dip if still consider that.

Quantum computing? are you serious about this? another conspiracy theory I guess, crypto is quantum computing resistant I read it somewhere from an article that explains the risk of this, that's not the main issue here you are just the one who pulls that matter, Regulation, market manipulation, exchange hacking that slightly affects the volume but that is not the main impact it is another machinery for fuds and more read up the news and stay updated.

Count those threads and articles created that bitcoin is dead or scam from the very beginning of its life, those people will never quit doing that thing, Bitcoin drops -10% then they will ramble and pull this thing off the table over and over again, price crash is not a good thing, who wants to lose their money in just a short period of time? well I doubt it will stabilize as the market is too unstable to predict.

Some nerves to say that he will eat his own thing on national tv or some showy badass things then suddenly he got scared by the SEC for promoting ICO? any links for this thing? he is actually a paid promoter loss for his great earnings each tweet and ads, P&D groups would probably get pissed because they are not getting any tokens to shill from John McAfee.

The common thing people will suggest to filter out those ICO is to look for ICO scorers or ratings over certain websites, well not saying don't use them don't just be fully dependent that every decision that you will make are always up to the scorers, make your own assessments as per the ICO scams I hope there would be a license or somewhat agreements to regulate those ICO's but there is none for now so be extra careful out there.

Coinrail last time then Bithumb now which is top 25 in volume to bitcoin markets it may slightly affect the price because of the FUD's and exaggerated news, I wonder why exchanges got that hacked easily, I mean 30 million is not a joke amount of money, exchanges these days needs to implement strict and tight security to protect its customers from those greedy hackers, I hope they took an immediate action towards these incidents like the other exchange did.

If you don't want an excess and additional stress every day then Day trading is not for you, having some sleepless nights because you are watching the orders to the exchanges it is more than buy low and sell high principle it is not that simple, on the other option hold is the better option for the most people, just store you crypto, endure the FUD's, negative news and crashes if you truly believe with your coins.

It's possible though it is highly unrealistic to me that it will go down further to $400, you can even speculate that it will crash down to $100 if you want to but you must back it up with some news, charts or other historical data that supports the speculation that you've mentioned to the OP, this thread was last Jan but the prices drove too far down to $6500 plus a lot of traders are waiting for the dip to buy cheap bitcoins even the whales and manipulators want that to accumulate.

Some of the threads are from newbie and jr. member accounts at their respective time they posted it who wants some assurance that it will go up in due time without catching some glimpse about its historical prices each year, they are just too focused from the ATH 20k that some of them probably have a short time profit expectations, you should have to get used to it as every dip counts there would be countless threads to appear about that.
