I would be glad if it turned out to be the sideways trend. Only after a certain time in a sideways trend can we wait on a confident uptrend.

It's not that bad.
By what has already happened and what the market looks like, it can be understood that it will be closed in red. This is not the year of the altcoins. Nevertheless, there are a large number of altcoins, which now stand above the price before the start of growth at the end of 2017. If this continues until the end of 2018, we can expect green next year.

I also have this idea. In this context, it always seemed strange to me why they require KYC from investors and bounty hunters. In the end, they have no active influence on the project. At the same time, the responsible public person of the project can be a guarantee for investors.

Ну паники нет. Консоль в битке, консоль в зефире. Большие дяди медленно скупаются. А пока они скупаются, те, кто поменьше, выскакивают. Тем не менее, доля крупных игроков в рынке ещё невелика, поэтому роста мы можем ждать неопределённо долго. Это и есть прелести децентрализации рынка .

Рост за килошку был обусловлен накачкой. Многие монеты накачали, причём в основном это делал толпа, кому крупняк и продавал. И продал. Теперь мы имеем новые консолидации, а значит процесс накопления идёт. Набирают конечно так же жЫрные игроки. Неужели вы думаете, что они захотят себя ограничить тремя иксами? Это неконтролируемый рынок. P&D это один из лучших способов брить желающих. Из всего этого, считаю, что иксы будут снова, но когда это уже другой вопрос. Пусть на набор позиций понадобятся годы, мы можем подождать. Кто не может, продавайте, быстрее будет следующий памп  

Just because most people make decisions based on their feelings. In this case, there is a strong FOMO syndrome. The potential of crypto is great, since so many people are still not in crypto. The first cryptocurrency to which they will pay attention will be BTC. So, BTC forever   .

As a bounty hunter, you can choose a fairly simple way. It is necessary to study those managers who will never consciously support fraudulent projects. For example, Amazix (bounties.biz) and btcltcdigger (t.me/CSBounty) explicitly state that they do not cooperate with scammers.
There are also resources that have chosen only high-quality projects for investing. Unfortunately, since spring I have not followed this, and I will not give an example.

If you constantly follow the market, how can this surprise you? For a permanent observer, this will happen slowly. Also we all remember the crazy market of the Q4 of 2017. In this case, this can not surprise.
Of course, beginners have a chance to marvel at many things.

Of course, it's best to have 5-10 coins, which will make +100 Xs.
We do not know what assets and how they will behave. How many coins depends on your investment style. Certainly we can say that this is not one or two coins.
If we consider that there are already several K coins and tokens, then we can take about 1-2% ~ a few dozen.

After the previous bitcoin dump 2014 the price was recovered more than two years. At that time, market capitalization was many times less. Meanwhile, the market has become more inert, since it takes more time to accumulate large positions. Rewriting highs may take longer than last time.
So, October? At what year?

Ripple is not a crypto currency in its pure form. Wherever it is on the list, I just ignore its. Thus, ETH occupies a firm second place.

Oh yeah. 7% per month is not enough? This is a huge profit in the real world. There is some regret that this will be only three more months. If an increase in prices is added to this, we will get what we want in such unfavorable market conditions.

This topic to some extent shows the true faith of some people. 5000X were already in ETH, Verge, surely in BTC. Why don't they believe in large Xs in some other coins?
Since the market is still speculative, large X quickly deflate. Someday some projects will have a fundamental basis, and those will grow like AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL.
Of course, you should mind the real financial indicators.

Crypto in its current form is an excellent field for scammers. This has been said many times.
In addition, it can be a means of full control over the entire population. Imagine, a blockchain system was created where all payments are made, all kinds of human activity and all kinds of equipment are registered. This is a kind of global universal database. What was declared as freedom, independence and confidentiality will be a pseudo-decentralized global control system.
And now the whole industry is a testing ground.
This can be a such cynical situation.

I assume two scenarios:
- the market with a lateral trend will slowly move into an uptrend, it may take several years;
- the market will continue to fall if BTC pierces 6K, then on another level there will be a lateral trend and uncertainty.
In any case, 700$ per ether will have to wait a long time.

If nothing changes fundamentally, then the price will fall. Like the prices of other coins. There are very few working projects. In the markets there are only speculations. Need new money (FOMO) or the real work of many projects

BTC price in the consolidation with a decrease in local highs. This can be a long time. In such conditions, statements about the oncoming growth of the market look naive.

What are the forecasts of these analysts based on? As always, on a common desire for growth? Do not believe the anilists, they have long been goof. Growth can begin in a year or a month, but so slowly that we will not notice it.

People tend to give out wishful thinking. And they talk about it. Like a mantra or a prayer. They can not create an even stronger impact on the market . Of course, history guarantees nothing in the future. But it would be useful for many to see how long the markets can recover.

Yes, crypto can not be a way to store funds because of volatility. Crypto assets can be compared to shares. But the shares are regulated, and campaigns use shares to deceive much less. So, store money in a bank; invest - in crypto. We can consider storing in crypto in USDT.
