It has been a very interesting experience for me as well, considering how the exchange has grown to become one of the biggest exchanges in the crypto space.
Every transaction with binance has been swift, even though I do not tend to login every time, I have always used their API on different platforms to trade and it has been an easy process with my trades going through every time, and anytime I am out to withdraw on my account, within a very short period, I get my funds. That is pretty much what anyone would want from an exchange, isn't it? Good reputation and trust.

Political effects? I really do not see much of a political effect dropping the prices badly and whatever you must have heard in the news, even though could have added a little bit to the downtrend as a catalyst, the downtrend was just something that was inevitable from last year's bull run.
First, before you tend to see a bull run, it is best to ask yourself what instigated it in the first place. In this case, i would say greed did and for that reason, we are where we are now. As simple as that. Many people do not understand how steady growth can sometimes make more sense than just some crazy spikes.

I definetly agree that the low price is great at a time however when the low price stays low for a long time than it costs us chances. I do not enjoy having low amounts of bitcoin and also keeping it at a low price as well, I need bitcoin to go up as well as go down.
Now I hate volatility as much as the next guy but without going up the low prices are not good all by itself. So yeah it is a great time to buy bitcoin however it is not great that it doesn't go up more than %10 at a time. We need a bigger spike and need a longer term for bull for it to stay there without that this low price is worthless all by itself.

I understand whales but sharks? Really? I had to look up on google what shark is and apparently it is the rich people who are not as rich as whales but still not regular people. I think sharks are just whale followers, they bite what is left from whales, we do not know exactly what whales will do but sharks probably do know that.
With their couple million at most they get the knews of what whales will do after they do it and move in and take it a step further and than the turn comes to panic sellers or so which will move it even further. I do not think there is manipulation of sharks however whales do let sharks know before we know whats going on I am sure of that.

 I think football can used blockchain in couple of fronts. Not just scores and goals and assists and who had what but also you can definitely use it for financial stuff as well.
Transfers can be held there, stadium and ticket sales can be counted and saved there, you can have loan players and expenses and debts and many more things. Football has a lot of stuff that needs to be accounted and in the end they just use regular old technology of saving it on a website or something for this, having a blockchain technology to save all of this on it would improve the accountability of the info by tenfold easily.

I think greed is good, I do not think greed is really that horrible if you do not really affect the world.
I mean if you are some sort of rich billionaire and own a company and because of your greed the world suffers than yeah do not be greedy because we have only one world however if you are just a regular worker and you are greedy and want to get rid of this rat race we are in to have financial freedom and live a comfortable life than that greed is fine because you do really need to see the life without financial chains. Having money isn't everything but not having it is. I think having your financial freedom will help you become a much better person.

If you sell right now I am sorry but you deserve to lose your money. Ethereum is so low right now that I would rather sell my kidney before I sell my ethereum right now. It is the perfect time to BUY let alone hold, you should not only hold ethereum you should BUY ethereum.
With that in mind you should try to find a way to gather as many as other coins as well, the altcoin market is crippling because of this almost 8-9 month bear run and the result is cheap everything, so I could potentially understand why ethereum is considered not holding but only because if you want to buy some other cheap altcoin.

 It is an amazing time to buy as many ethereum as you can and with this price I do not think you can get any lower ever again in history of ethereum, one big huge bull run and even when it drops it won't drop way down to these prices again, this is the lowest in history you can get from now on.
Buy as many as you can afford and wait for that bull run, there is seriously a x10 chance of ethereum price going up, an increase of x10 in your portfolio just thanks to ethereum. I still suggest you to diversify your portfolio and buy other stuff as well but you can make sure ethereum has a big part of your portfolio.

I really would not consider whatever is coming from the government to be categorized as cryptocurrency as it would be controlled anyway.
Hence, if in any case we get to see central banks for this space, it would be for digital currencies owned by the government and not cryptocurrency, since it would not be decentralized in anyway. Let's see how India really want to come out with this plan and we all will see what they are clamoring for is just for their own advantage and not for the general space.

 It is sad that how many people think we are not on a bull run. I mean does it have to be like %500 for it to be a bull run, can you consider %10 rise in the price a bull run? Isn't that enough for you to consider this as a bull run? I mean yeah we are not going to 20k anytime soon apparently and we are not going like 10k-12k right away and all that however from 6.4 levels or so to 7.3k levels are still a great increase in the price. People in stocks and all that dream of getting this much money increase in just a month or so. We have made over %15 profit in a month if you get in at cheap and get out and the max of this month.


 I do believe the 20k is a lot easier now. The problem with bitcoin and all crypto is that the longer they wait the higher they get in the quick jump.
For example if after that 20k in december the prices went down to 10k and stayed there a month than it would have gone up like %20 at max to 12k however right now I think it went down so quickly and stayed there for so long that in the end the buildup is increasingly amazing, right now if it goes anywhere I believe that bitcoin can go to 30-40 thousand levels because people are tired of waiting and as soon as there is a crack in the price everyone will jump back in like crazy which will create a frenzy and cause the price to go up insanely.

Apart from people investing, selling and all that you have said, it is not news that manipulation is bound in this market most especially for the fact that it is decentralized.
You think what we saw last year was a normal level of demand, no way! That was a manipulated pump and some news has been raised so far on wash trading, spoofing and some other forms of manipulation in the market which normally would not have been the case if the market is regulated.

Putting that limit is always the way to go if anyone still wants to gamble anyway after knowing they are bound to lose. As long as you are self-principled and cautious of your reaction towards gambling, you will always end up in that section where you end up losing yourself totally to it.
Gambling brings up a lot of emotional imbalance inside of us and it is only left for us to control those emotions and put them in check. Those emotions are what would keep telling you to try it just one more time and you might end up lucky until you keep doing it and end up screwing up all your funds.

On a normal day, you cannot buy more than what you cannot afford. If bitcoin is $100k or even more, it is few of the satoshis you can lay your hands on that you will still be able to buy in anyway, so I do not see how that is a serious thing to be assuming how much one would buy in such instance or not.
Apparently, just very few people would be able to afford to buy a whole bitcoin in such a scenario, but that being said, to see such a huge price, it would only be sustainable if it is driven by real demand and not just some mere speculations.

It is really not worth it if you get to see the little fluctuations unless you have a lot of money and you are willing to keep getting as little as you can, rather than trying to make use of the general market fluctuations and volatility of the crypto market entirely to make more profit in the long run. This is more like trying to run away from volatility risk, but what is the point in that ?
However, everyone knows what works well for them anyway.


Asides from bottoming out, some are already giving signals for smart moneys to start participating and getting into the market.
For someone who has been waiting for a very good price to get into the market, I want to believe this is a very good time and unless they want to miss out in the long run and start joining FOMOs, they would rather take the present moment as a good time to be getting in. I have a feelings September is going to be a very good one but that should be early September though.

I want to believe most people who are not vast traders with well-equipped knowledge on trading will definitely prefer to go this route. It is not a bad idea to invest long in as much as you know you are fine with the price you are buying from.
However, it is not also a bad idea to get to know some trading techniques to identify when it seems to be a good time to also be buying or not as the case may be. The best is just to find what one is comfortable with and stick with it.

I would not say many because from just this forum alone, the clear goal and definition some newbie investors have is to quickly get rich and have no other single or technical idea why they are investing in the first place.
This is the main reason why focusing on the future is definitely going to be hard for some as long as they keep having that get rich quick mindset when it comes to bitcoin and this market as a whole and one reason why they will  never stop whining and complaining.

That is always the problem and the fact remains that without a real life product, it would just be as useless as any other shit garbage coin in the market. It is not just about creating a coin and thinking it would just have a future because being an artist can drive fans to it, how long will it end up sustained without taking a hit eventually.
The only thing that can keep it going in the long run is real demand for the solution it creates, and no matter how it gets to be driven speculatively, it would never last.


That should not be a normal reaction in the first place. If you want to quit, it is better to quit once and for all, not just trying to make the same decision only after losses and still end up coming back again.
For someone like that, I would rather say there is a huge need for such a person to check himself as that seems to me more like an addiction already. Call it compulsive or addicted, they all fall in the same category of a big time addict. These kinds of decisions are made by those who are looking for what they cannot find from gambling.
