And that's true, in the cryptocurrency market not all altcoin prices were influenced by the price of bitcoin. We can see yesterday when the price of bitcoin cash rose to 15% (based on coinmarketcap) but at that time the price of bitcoin decreased around 1%. And now the price of Ripple is up almost 12% (base on coinmarketcap) but the price of bitcoin only increased 1.67%. This indicates that each altcoin has increased and decreased does not depend on the price of bitcoin, but at if bitcoin and altcoin price decreased it depends on the information that came to cryptocurrency.

That is not the mistake you have made, there will be many people who have experienced the same thing with you even they are an old investor in cryptocurrency. Every place of investment will not be predictable easily and correctly, everyone who predicts will find difficulties and they do not know the price that will really be achieved. And also, every investment place will provide benefits if someone chooses a long-term investment, this happens at ETH, you should not think about selling the ETH you have in a loss condition, you just have to hold until market recover.

At least, if you see a coin position at 5-10 I can be sure that those are safe coins to choose as an investment place. In the top 1-10 position, we can be sure that the coin has a large market capitalization, and we can be sure that there will be many investors in it.

However, it only ensures a safe place to invest, but to ensure that the coin has great potential, I am not able to ascertain it, because it could be that the altcoin which is ranked 100-500 has good potential in the future.

Indeed, there are so many bounty hunters in this forum so we will find many differences when we see how they are participating in bounty campaigns. But I only examined when someone taken part in the bounty campaign they looked more at the members in this forum who have good credibility, especially in terms of merit, every bounty hunter will join the project when many accounts have a lot of take part in the project. Their estimates that everyone who has a lot of merit can certainly determine projects that are scam and legitimate projects or potential projects and projects that have no potential.

I am sure that if everyone is comfortable using the digital currency as a payment system in their lives, they will slowly leaving money fiat.

But to say cryptocurrency as money in the future I was a little hesitant to ensure that this would happen, the government was too strong to defeat by every cryptocurrency user, unless they have a strong desire to make all money systems decentralized.

The ICO project scam indeed will affect the views of every investor, even though there are some ICO projects that are really legit out there but still will be seen by some investors that all ICOs are no longer worthy of being used as investment sites. They will switch to investing in several coins that have no doubt their potential such as bitcoin and ethereum.

And another reason is the continuing decline in cryptocurrency or bearish market prices, they will think that with a lot of project scams and the fall of tokens price when the has been listed on the exchange will make them think deeper. I myself was very concerned about ICO differences in the past year and now, in the past year we were taken very far by the ICO project but at this time the ICO project has dropped us to the deepest place.

Usually only investors who don't understand the scenario of cryptocurrency price changes that just solely on speculation to decide to sell and buy bitcoin. For those who have understood the price changes of cryptocurrency will be more careful when finding information about speculation on bitcoin prices.

They will pay attention to someone who made the speculation and examine with the knowledge he has about the truth of the information. As you said before, everyone is free to predict the price of bitcoin in the future, and everyone who reads the information should have a strong reason to trust or ignore the information.

I am not sure there is someone out there who makes gambling their main income system, except for a bookie, he could get income every week from some gamblers coming to his place.

Many people said gambling is the place for fun cause very few people come out of the gambling table with a lot of money to support their families, most of them only hold their heads when they leave the gambling table.

That is true, if someone sees coin / tokens only at the creator has high popularity but he does not know cryptocurrency in detail, I mean only to use when cryptocurrency is popular then I believe that the coin/token made based on that then will not last long in an exchange.

One should be aware of cryptocurrency not only relying on popularity or a feature that only functions in the short term, but one must think of a function that continues to be accepted by many people in the future so that tokens / coins will continue to have value and function properly.

I think every payment system can be used as an illegal payment system. It's just that bitcoin has not been accepted by every country and there are several countries that make bitcoin a tool that must be avoided and this problem can influence someone's opinion about bitcoin. As for anynomous thing it's not a big problem, you can see the use of money fiat that is used as an illegal payment system, the transaction will be kept secret, one's view is too much to overestimate anynomous found in bitcoin.

Red market is a good time to buy a few coins, every place of investment takes time so that every investor gets a profit, only a few investment places that promise a short time for each investor to get a profit. So, you can buy bitcoin or altcoin and my advice to you is to choose a long-term investment, don't target your investment only for the end of this year, if you are targeting to get a profit at the end of this year I am sure you will be stressed and sell your investment in loss situation. Buy now and see at the end of this year if the price of cryptocurrency recover you can sell it, but if the price is still the same as now, keep hold is a good solution.

Most ICO project investors who have experienced fraud are those who pay little attention to some important aspects of the ICO project, they only conclude that the project will have good potential in the future and can be used by everyone, but important aspects such as the truth of the developer the project was not noticed. Whereas the developer of a project is very influential on the future and scam or legitimacy of the project. And also I think doing own research on a project is not enough, other people's assessment of a project is very important especially in this forum, many members in this forum have high honesty when telling to someone else that the project is scam or the project is legit. So that everyone can ask for an ICO project that he will follow, and ask whether the ICO is feasible or not to be used as an investment place.

Cryptocurrency users continously made a hope for the market will recover. There were some signs the market will recover in the previous months, howeverit returned after a number of negative things came back. I just think if this is just an alert that cryptocurrency will have a function and the same way with several other investment places, I mean everyone must think that it is less likely to get profit in the short term, everyone have to think that every place of investment will only provide big profits when they choose the long term when they start investing.

Having a loss will cause a person to become stressed, not to mention unpredictable price movements that will confidently make someone turn and change their way. But for those who are already familiar with cryptocurrency markers and they understand and even master the trading strategy on cryptocurrency I am sure that even if they suffer losses it will not make them feel stressed, all they need is a break to calm their brains for a moment and restart when they ready.

You can see in the project function, if you see a lot of similarities with other projects or with existing altcoins you can make sure the project is a scam, not worth choosing. Find a project that really has a different function but can be well received by everyone in the future, if you have found this problem then another search like a developer will be easy to find, because it will be automatic if a good project will be accompanied by a developer credible too.

With a limited amount of coins, everyone will have a prediction of the coin, the prediction will be the same when the coin has been mined, it will cause a scarcity in the coin and will make the price high due to deplation. I agree with you, a limited coin will have great potential, every investor will find the coin.

Panic selling is caused by several things that you have mentioned, but it should be noted that the decline in bitcoin prices at this time of year is a regulation. Regulations from China, South Korea, India and others provide very negative side effects on bitcoin price movements. The three countries have large cryptocurrency users so they decide to sell every investment in the cryptocurrency that they have, and maybe wait for the next step from their government. Most likely if the country legalizes cryptocurrency then I am pretty sure the price will rise again.

I guess not all newbies traders are panic sellers, old investors out there will do the same thing when they believe the cryptocurrency market will crash. And not all panic sell leads to negative actions, each has its own way to get profit in each investment place and maybe sell panic is one of those ways.

I don't think like that, not all altcoin markets follow bitcoin price movements and even all altcoins do not follow the bitcoin price movement. Price changes will be based on the arrival of information on cryptocurrency as a whole, if there comes negative information then cryptocurrency prices will decline and start from the price of bitcoin first because there are many traders compared to altcoin traders. However, if an altcoin is developing its project and is well received by every investor and user of cryptocurrency, even though the overall cryptocurrency market condition is decreasing, the altcoin will increase, and I have often seen this happen in the market.

If you have a twitter then you can follow Jhon McAfee and see his chatter about crytpocurrency. Almost everything he has written about information is positive for cryptocurrency so as everyone who follows him is interested in investing. I guess many people have done this, but you will know for yourself that cryptocurrency prices cannot be regulated. Need true information can have a big impact in order to attract new investors or even withdraw old investors and reinvest. This is a difficult thing, but if it's time for market to recover then we don't need to make positive information, we just have to see every price increase dramatically.
