I wonder. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) It looks like the people posting here don't have that much btc/cash/funds and are almost all small fish. One of the reasons is of course the bounty hunters. People with >100btc don't need bounties. People with >1000btc don't need this forum lol... So I wonder, all the fud, shilling etc here. Does it really have an impact on prices? I tend to believe we are all manipulated big time by real whales with 100's and 1000's of btc. If a group of eth hodlers of several 100k eth decide together: let's go down today, then we will go down. When prices are down enough they decide to go up. Thoughts? This pattern is the most obvious on reall small exchanges with bullshit coins. Look at some of them! You KNOW they are worth nothing and all of a sudden they moon and drop. You are right, we are just small fish in the market, but our community has strong impacts around the world, whales and young investors still getting around our topic to get more knowledge and informations around us. Moreover it may be true to say when we can have impact on the ICOs, they need us to bring promotions for their project to get attentions from community. so in some specific circumstances the price of a coin can be effect by our community.

If you notice in all these coins I am in HUGE lose. I am holding this of course. Coz I would never sell my coins in lose. I did in past but learnt my lessons.
How do you handle when you are in my situation.
Usually in these cases when we have lost nearly 50% of your money, we don't have much choice but keep holding until its rise again. however there are many chances that those coins will rise back in the future, so holding will be a much safer way. But if you don't know exactly what will happen to the future of your coins then selling some coins to cut loss may be a better idea.

i think many people will love to have free airdrops, of course that there is small chance for us to get a coin that may has high value in the future, however that percentage is not always high enough for us to put too much hope, most of airdrops tokens from ICO are not much or its value is not worthy and in many cases are useless when the ICO did not success. So I won't put too much hope from earning money from Airdrops.

let just agree that not all investors on the market can really become a good trader, it requires many years of practising and learning how to trade probably, a normal trader without any knowlegde about cryptocurrency may loose huge profit and even all the money. so practising from small trades first and start rising slowy in the future, learn to evaluate the markfet and how the trend goes, remember and apply to use bigger amount in the the future only when you have finish.

bitcoin price now is under 7000 it will go under 5000 it is real or FUD..who is manipulate this market...
i think if bitcoin drops in the future, it should have never got lower than 5000$ rightnow, because the price has already drops to it bottom twice in just lastweek, however the fact that percentage that bitcoin may drop in next week may be a huge chance for low incomes invstos to trade bitcoin

it is easy to know that when the price become much lower than the days before that eventually we can not make the decisions to sell to cut loss, so the only option at that times is holding for a little alonger to see to price get higher in the future. they are being effected badly at the lowest price on the market so investors don't want to keep investing in somethings that has low potential to rise in the future.

in this month, it will be a very hard time for all cryptocurrencies to rise back from the big drop, this happen everyyear and becoming a normal phenomynon that makes me believe this is just the correction of bitcoin in Chinese new year eve and perhaps may happen so many times in the future. But after the big dip, surely the price will be back much higher than ever before, so lets hope for a better day.

i think it is quite difficult to determine bitcoin is legal or not because it is really depends on where you at, if your country accept to use bitcoin as payment and currency then there is no problem to say bitcoin is legal, but if your country has already banned bitcoin, than keep using bitcoin is illegal. About myself, i believe bitcoin will be much more accepted by governments on the world legally in the future.

What do you think guys??
For my opinion, i guess it will keep dropping for another week. Even it's rising now, i think there are some people manipulating the price. Everyday i have seen the price pump up, and then big dump, repeated for the past month.
As for the previous record, every January and February is a big dip for cryptocurrency. Do you think it's over and if it's not over. How low is the market going down for?
To my opinion, i believe bitcoin may drop in next week, however the drop may not bring bitcoin down that lower than 5000$ or ETH not lower than 500$, they may lower than two drops many days ago but may take a long time to recover from that drop, so we should be ready in any case that we must be patient and calm before any trade in next week.

I've been searching for ICOs for a few days and there seems to be many cases of scams and hacks which kinda scares me. Obviously, there is no 100% certainty which is going to be a successful one but is there any way to identify which ones are at least going in the right direction? I looked at Mossland's Whitepaper and they seem ok. Or should I just buy BTC or ETH? Suggestions and ideas would be very helpful!
I think in this fluctuation of the market we should not invest in ICOs, because the precentage of loosing money i higher than normal days, the entire market is being effected badly due to the drops of bitcoin and altcoins days ago, so in this case we can use our money to invest in bitcoin or some Altcoins, they may have the higher chance to rise back in the future rather than investing in ICOs that we don't know certainly and lost money for scammers.

most of altcoins on the market have a connection with bitcoin, because their value is based on Bitcoin trading and have a propotion to compare with bitcoin, whenever bitcoin fluctuate, the price of bitcoin can bring the entire market down because of most investors prefer to use bitcoin than altcoins, that is why the amount of bitcoin investors can control the market price too much that effect altcoins fluctuation.

Are cryptos a bubble? Yes for sure, very similar to the start of the Internet. Is Bitcoin a bubble? Possibly not, if it can evolve, save the fees problem and become a real currency.
same thought with you, bitcoin is not a bubbe, it is still very young currency, it is normal to see the correction from bitcoin nowadays, i believe there will be more price corrections in the future in order to make bitcoin back to its real value and become more stable to be the most value crypto currency on the market.

![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) A Korean student has committed suicide after falling into a depression because of a big loss of money invested in bitcoin and cryptocurrency. A 20-year-old Korean student has been found to have committed suicide after falling into depression due to huge losses in bitcoin and cryptocurrency. The body of the victim was found at his home. The victim has earned 200 million won (about 200,000$) from investments in cryptocurrency. it's so sad. Rest in peace. Sadly he just at 20 years old, he should have had a long way to go in the future, crypto money is easy to loose but easy to earn if we work hard and having a patient and clear mind to overcome the frustrating times when the market drops. This event has taught me so much from patient in my investment and strategies that i should never invest in just one basket but using more than one basket will be much safer.

i believe bitcoin is not at the lowest price because rightnow we have just only seen the small recovery from bitcoin, but still dropping slowly every hour, we are at the high risk way, so think carefully when trading in this time, bitcoin is very fluctuative recently, the fact is from 7600$ yesterday but soon reached 8400$ and slowly drop until 8000$ now. i don't know exactly will bitcoin drop more than this in the future but i know the risky time to trade.

Hey guys
Just wondering what others normally invest in each ICO they invest in and see what the rough average is
Thanks
i always have my specific goal when investing in ICOs, Never invest more than 2 btc in an ICO no matter how good it is promoted, greedy is a deadly strike to our incomes, so think carefully and make research before investing an ICO, with 2btc, it is enough for me to get profit in the future when the price of the coin start rising.

i think this merit system is extremely hard for a normal member to rank up, it takes to long for a member to complete 100 merit to reach Full member because there are not much people want to give away their merit to another person, the rank up system can not work without anyone willingly to give their merit. i think this problem should be fixed to be more compatible to the community.

it is easy to say Ethereum will have a very successful year in 2018, but buying ETH will all of your money is not a very wise idea, we can never sure what will happen to ETH in the end of 2018, never just focus on just one side, we must always have a second plan to split money in many altcoins to maximize the profit and safer too.
|

i believe ETH has so many competiors that want to take Ethereum down, one of them is Ripple, it has become a perfect altcoins that can be used by banks to control the price of cryptos on the market. it has been supported by many governments on the world to keep controling of many altcoins. so ETH will take a very hard time to defeat Ripple in the future.

there are so many way to keep your ETH safe, the most popular is using Metamask to protect you from dangers, moreover, i prefer using cold wallet to save my ETH such as Nano ledgers, we can keep our money away from internet, however make sure that the cold wallet you recieved is 100% from the manufactor, because many bad guys can use manufactors to implant a bug into your cold wallet to steal your money.

When will we reach the state of more of less stable cryptocurrencies or it is in their nature and will never end?
the cryptocurrency market will suffer a very long time of witnessing the fluctuation of coins on the market, i think as long as there are big whales dominates the market by their coins to bring them profit, unless there are regulations about controlling cryptos then the fluctuation will never end.
