do we really need another topic about the biggest scammer and attention whore in bitcoin?
or are you just looking to get some traffic to the website you just posted here?

there is a ton of on-chain activity today too. and that always points to a market that is going to become super active thanks to all the buys and sells that are going to take place. I suppose there will be a lot of panic sells too because there are quite a lot of investors who are still afraid of the "whales"! which is why I also say it is not yet exactly the "reversal" but we are pretty close to it.

the only valid reason for not selling your bitcoins anymore is the fact that the drop has been over for a long time and the chances of going any lower that this are extremely low (although they exist because it is bitcoin and unpredictability has always been a big part of it). in other words if you haven't sold your bitcoin already then it means you have held while price was high above the "real" support line then higher than the bubble line and you never sold then which was the time to sell.
selling now is equal to selling at the bottom.

and then as the secondary reason you can consider the fact that bitcoin is going to start rising sooner or later because we have had more than enough of downtrend and its adoption is still growing while we have lots of positive news.

that is the centralized systems for you! they force anything they want on their users and the only thing their users can do is to complain but suck it up and continue being their slaves. this is why bitcoin and decentralization has been invented so that we don't have to remain their slaves and have that additional option of freedom if we choose to use it. that is also why we keep fighting to keep bitcoin decentralized because nobody wants to see it turned into another VISA,...

I honestly wouldn't call this "infographic" let alone a "cool" one. this is more like a bunch of common knowledge with some mistakes written on top of a picture. and the goal of it is not to talk about block reward halving or anything worthwhile. the only purpose of this "picture" is to create some hype around the block reward halving that is about a year away from now while speculating about the price rise because of it!

how many blocks are being found does not depend on the time of the day or how many transactions are in the mempool! it has always depended on hashrate and difficulty and it will always be like that. which means if difficulty stays the same then we will see the same number of blocks be mined per hour (1 each 10 minute) at any time of the day.

this whole thing seems to me like a big hype to advertise their bank more. you may think they are already big and they don't need that but you would be mistaken. don't underestimate the hype that the blockchain technology has brought up with itself and they see that very well. this centralized token of theirs is exactly meant for that. to hype up their business otherwise there is nothing interesting here to even talk about since it is a centralized closed source and fully controlled token.

adoption of bitcoin as a currency has not happened as much as I hoped in my country, instead it is still mainly treated as an investment and an online way of payment. so things such as buying national lottery tickets is a far away kind of adoption that we can hope for at this point.

besides I don't think people would be that interested in something like that. they still prefer paying cash for something like a lottery ticket.

one of the problems that the newcomers to this market have been facing is the fact that the altcoin market  can be very misleading which means it can make people falsely believe that they have experts in trading after making a couple of successful trades.
of course this problem is mostly palpable during the pumping seasons such as most of the year 2017, but other times this is still an issue. mainly because whenever people make profit they lose sight of everything that is important and when everything is getting pumped they will end up thinking they made profit because of their good choices.
the result is a lot of people losing a lot of money and then complaining about it right after the dumps begin and since they weren't really good at trading they continue thinking they can make profit but they lose money.

it is a bit unclear what you are looking for. if it is some sort of automation service that keeps an eye out on volume changes then I don't know any although I am using something similar myself. it is my own code that I have written a couple of years ago. basically it can watch the market and create a database and using that it can recognize volume surges and then with a bunch of other factors it can detect pumps. it is not perfect though because there are a lot of things to consider but I combine that with some manual monitoring of my own and sometimes I can catch some shitcoin pumps and make some profit.

we have the same thing every couple of years when bitcoin has a bubble and then a bear market afterwards. at the bottom of that bear market there is always two groups, first one is scared and usually has panic sold at a loss and the other group is always accumulating in silence without letting anybody find out. sometimes the second group is also telling everyone else to sell or stay away because they want more cheap coins for themselves during their accumulation.

I am a strong believer and follower of accumulation strategy. specially when it comes to bitcoin I do it more than I do in any other market (although I don't participate in them as much as before, like gold, stocks,,.. lately).

this means I am buying bitcoin at most of the times, but the amount I buy is always bigger with more intensity when price is considered in a dip like these days that we are at the bottom of a big and long drop.

you could use google to search for these basic things to find better answers and faster.

in short the difference is in how they operate.
a centralized exchange has a centralized authority that you give your money to and they offer you a platform that you can trade on while only having an account with IOUs and when you want to withdraw they have to allow you to convert those IOUs into real money (real bitcoin for example).
a decentralized exchange however doesn't have that centralized authority, you remain in control of your private keys and your money and participate in a peer to peer platform where you directly trade with other people like yourself. the befit of this is that since there is no "accounts" then there is nothing to hack or basically no centralized point of failure.

that is the result of a whole year of advertisement telling people to "hold their shitcoins and shittokens and have patience". eventually a great number of people started to think that they have to keep on holding shitcoins because bitcoin is rising in long term then they also must do the same!
that is also why we have so many online portfolio managers and lots of apps for pc and android for the same false mentality which is going to go away by the first half of 2019 as majority of these tokens are going to be purged and join their counterparts in the altcoin graveyard.

you are just referring to bad sources and it is a normal thing to be confused after reading a huge amount of nonsense that has been circulating in the bitcoin related news sites which only care about creating some clickbaits so that they can earn more money as people read their crap regardless of what they are doing to the system itself!

the thing about bitcoin is that it is decentralized. and that is not just a buzzword that we use. it is a very important concept. and that essentially means that regulations are meaningless for something that is decentralized.
but a big part of bitcoin's usage is its usage by the companies, businesses and merchants and they can be regulated. so regulations are only affecting them. and they affect the adoption. so if they aren't regulated, the adoption will go on at a slower pace and if there is regulation and more merchants adopt bitcoin then the adoption will grow faster and with it the price will go faster.
this means that lack of regulations is not going to cause a price drop!

I don't really understand what the relationship is between "Blockchain Cuties" and Alibaba, Chinese new year and the tradition that you are talking about here! that game is another game on platforms such as Ethereum (something similar to CryptoKitties that crippled ETH network recently) and so their payment is in the token of that platform. they go as far as copying their game on other platforms similar to Ethereum. that is why these tokens were chosen. that still is not related to the red envelope thing, they just did some promotions during the new year trying to attract more people to their game.

it is best to move this topic to trading discussion board (there is a button at the bottom of the page) the reason why I say this is because there are a lot of newcomers there who keep asking about bots because they want to make profit and they think the bot can do that for them (due to their false advertisements) and I always keep telling them to stay away from any bot as long as they consider themselves newbies (not-experts).
this topic is a good lessen for them.

when it comes to trading volume, specially when you are using it as a way of comparison you should always consider 2 important things:
1. how much of it is fake.
sometimes the exchanges fake the volumes, sometimes the shitcoin pumpers fake volumes by buying and selling to and from themselves. and all that can create  a fake total volume.

2. how long that volume was sustained.
for example bitcoin always has the highest volume and it stays that way because bitcoin is the only coin that EVERYONE wants but altcoins are only the target for traders who want more profit on their bitcoins. but sometimes when an altcoin is being pumped hard, or gets dumped super hard, we see a gigantic volume rise since a lot of money is being injected in it or being pulled out during the dump. that should not be what you measure because it is temporary and as the altcoin is dumped, the volume drops down to near nothing again.

basically what you are saying is that "you have Microsoft, Apple,... but you don't have to buy their shares you can buy shares in a tiny company in penny stocks market which may not even be a "company"". and that is actually a comparison that has been made between bitcoin and altcoins. bitcoin is like the stocks market and altcoins are like the penny stocks which are highly risky, manipulated and unstable.

so when you think you are diversifying, in fact you are only increasing the risks you are taking while decreasing your profitability since the altcoin dumps are severe and fast. you can lost 90% of your investment in a short time.

you really need to decide whether you want to talk about bitcoin and its price and future or you want to talk about cryptocurrencies (altcoins in general) because they are completely different from each other and you can't talk about one and extrapolate it to the others.

as for your predictions, they weren't wrong and just because price has moved in certain way it doesn't mean that was all real. for example the rise from $10k to $20k was mostly unreal because of hype and it shaped the bubble. similarly the drop below $10k specially this last 2 major drops that brought us here are not real either. they are all manipulations the first in rise direction and the second in drop direction but both manipulation nonetheless and because of that the resulting prices ($20k and $3k respectively) are not real and need to be corrected before we reach a more realistic value.
