I guess you would've taken back your utterance if you had your way, seeing how mightily a bull run ETH is having ATM hitting over $1k now. Even though there are a lot of uncertainties around cryptos I have come to realize that the best investment decisions to be made here is never to relay on emotions or sentiments. Concentrate on project utility and roadmap, and then back it up with programme development and news. ETH is likely to continue its bull run into $2k before the last quarters of 2021 from what I am seeing.

Because you complained of paucity of funds, Bitcoin may be out of your league to purchase at the moment. You can seek out credible altcoins with use-case (not necessarily coins in the first 50 on the CMC list) and buy. There are coins less than $0.1 with potential to give a great ROI a few months from now once the alts bull run begins.

No no no, this is a wrong assumption. There's still much room for movement for Bitcoin. Remember that 2021 is the year to watch out for in the crypto space.

If you want to follow that history repeating itself, then you should remember how Bitcoin got to ATH in Dec of 2017, a post halving year. We can witness correction in January but it won't be anything near a dump. 2021 is another post halving year. History repeating itself will mean we should be looking at Dec for a great ATH.

Too early to start thinking of shorting Bitcoin now. You will miss the train once you sell off, except you're really talented at trading.

But of course, it shouldn't even cross anyone's mind to take it as a financial advice seeing that your account is newbie.

Ouch! Your story in the OP is quite touching. I know how it feels to lose something because you want to keep afloat. Well, just remember that health is more important than anything else. Once we have life, we can have hope of regaining whatever lost. Have this as a consolation. Welcome back, veteran member of this community.

You've great skills that can always land you freelancing gigs. And there are several of these gigs on the Internet. Just surf the net.

Truth be told, I was only trying to be modest with my comment that I could be "wrong", actually I believe "I am far from thinking that the market will experience a crash now." The reason I stand by that is my 2017 experience. If anyone cared to check the historical data of 2017 you would notice how Bitcoin rose steadily all through that year until Dec 17 (4th quarters) before Bitcoin began its descent. We are just in the first quarters of 2021 (which is another post halving year). It's not as if we wouldn't have corrections here and there in 2021 but it isn't going to be a crash anytime in this first quarters.

It's the result of your years of experience that has got your emotions under control now.

My dear, all those stuff na mere rumour oh. I nor see anything wey point to facts there. If you even look well you go see sey na anonymous handle dem take post am. Nothing to verify there. Abeg, make we nor help propagandists spread their hatred. If to say na from reputable handle dem take post that screenshot wey you share, then I for know wetin I go talk.

So true... You better take a snapshot and archive it for a souvenir. Who knows, the forum may one day reward such uncommon observations 😏

Happy and Prosperous 2021 to the Roobet team and all the participants.

Pokapoka124, all these your proverbs ehn, dem show sey you na correct grassroots persin you be. The proverbs dem enter wella! Delta people, una too get funny proverbs just like una yarns sef dey make persin laugh. Na so I dey always laugh each time I watch Pararan for YouTube and his presentations of Mock News. My guy, I supposed throw you one something (you understand wetin I mean here na) to take appreciate your post but that something never dey my side now. But nor worry, I go do am once e show. Enjoy the new year!

Well, be grateful for little mercies. But it would've been nice if you related to us what actually happened if you felt someone was out to get you banned. Again, I hope whatever reason you were reported wasn't for plagiarism or spamming because the forum frowns at those. Enjoy your stay and keep out of trouble.

Don't be skeptical on this. Just look on the bright side that once it's pumped, it could spring to a bull run. BTW, what makes you even think it's a pump and dump apart from mere speculation? Don't be too quick to forget that 2021 will see the alts rise in price. Alts' pump normally follow Bitcoin pump. I like the rumour of a pump for Electroneum as a hodler too. I have held ETN right from its ICO days.

Before the great crash of 2018, the total market cap on the Coinmarketcap site was slightly above $800billion. Specifically, according to that data, it stood at $815,596,371,956 from snapshot taken on December 17, 2017 with Bitcoin at $19,140 and an overwhelming dominance of 71.5%

Today, being January 2, 2021 Bitcoin zoomed passed $31,000 pushing the total market cap to $824,684,567,217 with a 70.5% dominance. Yet, it doesn't still look like the market is going to be slowing down any time soon. The year got started on a great pedestal. 2021 is certainly going to be that year when people will constantly be checking their apps for market prices.





I am far from thinking that the market will experience a crash now. But then, that's my thought. I could be wrong. What do you guys think?

You just took the word out of my mouth. I wondered why the OP missed all that you pointed out in the first place. ETH is yet to get across half of what it did at ATH in comparison at the time Bitcoin hit ATH in 2017. Bitcoin is >$31,000 at the moment while ETH still lags behind abysmally with less than 50%. Definitely, I am still trusting that it's yet to begin its bull run. But of course, what gives ETH the impetus of demand is its smart contract. Without that, ETH would've long collapsed.

That was the prayer of those who literally went to church on their knees since 2018, asking for such a time like we have now with Bitcoin mooning continually without a crash. Whatever happens with Bitcoin in 2021 (as its post halving year) will further decide how we judge or preempt Bitcoin in 2015 (another post halving year).


The force of the current bull run is powered by a force greater than gravity, literally speaking (well, writing actually). It isn't showing any sign of fatigue and the dominance of Bitcoin is currently at 69% of the entire marketcap. It's a good sign for Bitcoin but a bad one for alts. This is because ALTs won't moon if Bitcoin continues to dominate the entire market space.

I throwey my HNY greetings here to all man! I hope una enjoy the holiday wella and una chickens cook well. Abeg, e go good make wey try to dey throw in comments here regularly for this 2021 so that e go help build owa presence for this forum as we dey push for owa own local board something. If dem see sey we dey serious with contributions dat one go mean sey any argument to deny us nor go fit stand. I read somewhere here wey one tribe dey ask for dis same thing and part of the argument against dem be sey those people nor get better contributions. Abeg, make we all join hands together to make owasefs great. Na cooperation dey make rice full pot. This na my new year message be dat.

One luv...

On hindsight, we now know how 2020 went and how it nearly shouldn't count as a year in the calendars 🤡. Well, we can only wish for a better 2021 in terms of more improved fight and bite against the pandemic. Yah, I know 2020 wasn't that bad for everyone. Some people smiled through, especially "Bitcoiners." May 2021 bring us all good fortune in good health. Happy and Prosperous New Year to all.

Not selling at all during a bull run and rebuying back at crash isn't likely a good strategy. Except you're scared of losing your coin. Are you a non trader? You mean you won't take any profit during this bull run; is that what you're insinuating? Well, truth remains that if people don't engage in buying and selling AT ALL, Bitcoin won't have any value. If all everyone does is hodl it, the price will remain stagnant because of low liquidity. Those who sell from time to time are the real dudes making Bitcoin have bull runs from time to time. They also keep the network active too.

This is hasty generalization. People may not be buying because they're indigent and not necessarily because they don't want to.

This isn't that easy or perhaps it's easier said than done. If it were that easy knowing how to solve financial matters I am not sure people will still be going to college to study Economics, Banking & Finance, Accounting or other related courses.

Buying on the rumour of news is the best way to get into any trade. FOMO messes everything up as the rush to not miss out won't let one take a rational decision. But the surprising thing is that most investors like chasing price and would always wait until price begins to move before they get in.

My first comment up there in the first quoted post applies here too. Knowing how to buy the dip or taking profit at intervals can't be known except one has put in the works for a while and has acquired the set skills for trading. It's a learning process.

Your English writing skills isn't that bad, judging from what I have read here. However, what is bad are the hypothesis you've conjured up about Bitcoin rise in price. They're simply irrelevant. Bitcoin price isn't in any way connected to the US election or any particular individual. Bitcoin is decentralized. No single person can influence it. The surge in price is occasioned by the halving that took place earlier in 2020. You just wait for the real effect this year. Every post Bitcoin halving year has always favoured Bitcoin. I expect price to continue to spiral up.

So, who do we blame here for the vaccine not getting distributed after it was confirmed it has a 90% cure rate? Pfizer has made the vaccine, yet countries aren't getting it. Sometimes, happenings like this make one think that there's more to this than meets the eye. Honestly, you can't help but draw that conclusion. Is the virus story a way for these leaders to drastically reduce the world population without looking murderous? And at the same time make wealth for a selected few. I am beginning to think in that direction, frankly.

This is the mistake of many a newbie. Those who do this think that when the market is flat that those crashed coins/tokens won't rise again. It's fear that makes investors do this. Their inexperience makes them wait for a rush to buy in order not to miss out. But the true position of things should be to become weary when everyone is rushing in to buy. The tight time to buy Bitcoin or any crypto is when that particular crypto is getting nice reviews before price starts moving. The rumour of war should get people prepared and not the war itself. But crypto veterans know this game that Bitcoin can never disappear and so they wait to stock their hodlings at each major corrections; not after that.
