I have learnt a lot of lessons from the 2018 concerning crypto. i made a lot of money from crypto in 2017. My friends advised me to sell some of my coins for the profit but I refused because I thought the scenario will continue forever which was not the case. I think when 2017 is to come again, I will make good use of it. 2018 took away all my profits.

I think this great upcoming update on the ethereum blockchain will help to rise the price of ether. for me, I think ethereum has a real world usage and for that matter the current price is not the right price for a coin like ether.

The ideal thing is to sell when the price is dumped but the fact is, it isn't that easy to sell when the prices are pumping which will make you go bankrupt after the pump because from my experience, every heavy pump is followed by a heavy dump. I usually go by the principal that I will sell half my coins in pumping time and start buying back when they start dumping.

A bounce back is expected but I can't precisely tell the right time that it'll happen. We are all in a state if confusion. Even the best analyst is also confused. It is better to stay on the fence at these times because the little move you make may destroy your financial life forever.

For newbies who do not know anything about how this market is, I will advise that they wait because there are many predictions that we have not bottomed yet. The reason for the wait is to prevent you from doing worse things when the prices drop below the current state. But those who are experienced can buy more because we are all hopeful that the bulls will return if not this year, a year may come with the bulls.

You are doing the right thing by investing in known coins only. The current trend of the market makes it hard for new projects to succeed so it will be better not to allow one's self to be deceived into buying unknown coins.

Stop spreading these fake news over here. if you can't add proofs to what you say, don't write them here. I think this thread should even be deleted because the aim is to cause panic sells again.

If nothing changes in 2019, we will continue the crypto hustle because I am fir sure some of us can never stop crypto even if bitcoin goes back to 200$ per coin.

Let's not be confused with these two coins. Bitcoin is a giant coin with it leading the whole market. Bitcoin is ever better than ether as you will ever think of. the current prices may not speak of the right answer though.

That is a strong admonishment because we as crypto enthusiasts should not stop investing in the cryptos we have. The moment we stop, bad hands get hold of them and then start manipulating the market.

There are more project to start up with blockchain technology. The issue come into play when one start talking about they initiate the projects. I think it is about time we did the projects, make it start working before we conduct icos. Most projects seem to be concentrated with the money they get from the ICO without focusing on the project anymore.

For now, I will only take the reason to be as a result of people not seeing the market recovered so they begin to panic and sell their coins to cut losses in case their coins never rebound.

I am not over wishing the market will recover. I just want a steady growth than a sharp growth which is followed by a sharp fall. the rate at which the price of bitcoin and crypto in general are falling is very serious. They keep reducing steadily which calls for alarm.

In every season, there is time for sowing and time for harvesting. 2018 has been very hectic for crypto investors. I think it is a good time to start buying because definitely, there will be a time for reaping.

The OP's words are very advising and I think if everyone should pay heed to what he said, we will be ever alert until these greedy and starving creatures seize our monies.

I will say yes because it isn't that easy to hodl when you see that your coin begins to go down and could have been sold to cut off some losses. It is only the brave ones who will do such a thing.

well, I will advise you not to expect drastic changes in 2019 because the market isn't going to recover with ease. you have to prepare for this and make sure that you don't lose hope when you don't see things so easy or as expected.

It is not surprising to see ether less than 100$  because the market in general has lost value, A lot of people have lost hope in crypto and have started selling their hodlings which could have fetched them billions some few months ago. I am hope that eth will bounce back again so I do not fear the crrent price.

I have participated in such bounty campaigns. What I have learnt is that it isn't their fault. Sometimes, they face legal issues and are forced to do kyc even for the bounty hunter. I will not say it is a planned scam.
By the way, if you are ready to do bounties, why don't you get yourself ready for kyc, which is an easy thing to do.

Thank you OP. Your advice is taken but I want to add more to it. Airdrops do not add more task before getting them. I will suggest you get an old machine to use for airdrops and signups. This way, you can escape those airdrops that target your devices to get access to your passwords.
