I have a prediction on bitcoin but not too much  which is probably will not exceed above 10k on this year in my opinion. because of this causes that always exist and manipulate the price when it gradually increasing.  In my view it will go back only to the ATH level unless whales decide to let the growth rate increase more on this year like what happened before.

true on this kind of situation only gaining small profits is the best strategy while market has not yet high volatility as well .rather than making a fundamental and keep waiting for the long run which just to make profits . because it's a wasting time indeed. Nowadays much better to become practical at least to regain losses.

Yes probably 5 years is enough to hold, and in my view after 5 years market will become  fine again and this current situation for sure will not exist anymore which is market will be more on up trend again because of massive demand and supply 5 years from now that surely will be added again in the market.

As of now only technical analysis and news of course because i want to know the next direction of growth rate..it's very difficult to be honest especially on this situation which is market nowadays become very unpredictable after the sudden fluctuation ,that's why doing technical analysis is my only hope as of now just to keep my portfolio fine despite of this situation.

the pattern of 2015 and this year is not the same mate. So we cannot actually say that the declined what we experienced now is the same like 2015.  Making technical analysis is not working now mate which reason our predictions always didn't happen.  For me much better to make fundamental to determine the real potential of coin. and with surely it there is a good return in my view.  . 

that's true investor really lose their cofidence when it comes investing on ICO because of that causes. for me i don't believe that they will return to invest when market stabilize again because for sure they are afraid now to spend money again on it which is since market collapse also they cant obtain profits on it.

That's normal mate because every site such coinmarketcap, has a different view when it come on the graph .common reason why mosly trader and holder always preferred to make a technical analysis in every site that provide the value of bitcoin which is just to determine the real direction of pattern or real value of bitcoin.

if you're planning to invest again then i suggest to pick those alternative coins that already made a bump previously among with  bitcoin to ensure you can gain profits rather than investing on some uncertain recommendation  from other ppl which is just to make sure you'll need another time for it to make a research before you can invest. So much better to choose those certain and trustworthy.   

Yes there are some ICO that still kicking on this situation but only those project that have a good team behind still remaining including  finished projects.  By the way it's good for all of us at least to reduced risky situation   i hope soon those ponzi schemes disappear suddenly on this kind of business so that  everything is fine and ensured.

there are some bad news but it came only from fud's in my view which nonsense just to intimidate buyers and holder . Actually yes definitely market is not yet fully recovered reason it fluctuates back again after the progressing but no need to worry 'cause it will be back again soon once it gained enough strength .

since we are in altcoin discussion then highly recommend ethereum which is when it comes long run because when market growth rate gradually gaining strength in the last few days the only coin that have a big average is ETH even in bitcoin . unfortunately i have no proofs but yes im telling the truth because i always monitor the market , and in my view ethereum will surge in the future more than on our expectations when market stabilize .

Why not? As long the value of some coin the market is still expensive including bitcoin .there's no way that can remove my trust on it. Especially nowadays which makert already give us a sign that bull still alive and just waiting for the right time to surge again. So all we need to now is to keep believing and put more patience instead of panicking and worrying.

as of now we have no idea if it will lead to a bigger price soon because of these sudden fluctuation. And in my opinion if this factors always happened in the future then it will collapse always after the sudden pump and will never go further for sure.

whales and FUD mate is the only one who keep destroying the market which is the only one as well who can manipulate the directions of growth rate into bearish. "Bearish" is not a people which is it's a scenario that always happens especially when the market experience a massive declined.

No because doing trading is not a stable source of income especially nowadays which market is very unpredictable because of some factors.  But yes they can make doing trading as a side line unless if they can afford lossing money on it. Because making mistakes always happened especially on the first attempt because of being lack of knowledge.

 I'm not agree since market still always experience a manipulation of price which after the pump.  but lets just keep our fingers crossed indeed miracle always happened.  Lol and lets keep buying instead and promote bitcoin to have a contribution for the next move.  

why not keep holding?  Indeed the price still holding above 3k and probably will stay until it makes another increase again.  So stop worrying  and  lesson learned. avoid being greedy next time which always invest what amount you can afford to lose to prevent regrets. bear it on your mind mate!

i don't believe on it since bitcoin still have more support than ETH. But yes ethereum still have a power to recover as we noticed previously during the bump of price which is it has a big average than bitcoin .but for me even though the potential is higher there's always no tends for it to replace bitcoin and it will remain second option .

much better to wait mate because indeed we already have the first clue lets see next year if there's another one . Actually for me if this news is legit then probably the good strategy now is too keep buying while it still affordable to become prepared for the next wave rather than waiting for another results because market is very unpredictable which is impossible things alway exist without knowing. 

that's not how the market play nowadays..as the matter of fact despite of the situation there's still a good news around the internet which of course about market and etc but there's still no response after the fluctuation . So obviously that positive news is useless on this circumstance .

For me market now is definitely controlled by whales and fuds so keep hoping that the next manipulation is moving forward.not opposite.
