Of course it can, the trouble is WHEN. I know eth is great because it has been the underlying ICO king for a long time but since bitcoin and crypto in general has been on a bad market time there have been few ICO's out there, since ICO count dropped down there is less funding going around as well, since there is less funding going around there is also less need to buy ethereum as well which means the price of course going down. Now when the ICO count goes up and the funding goes up as well the more people fund ICO's the more they will need to buy ethereum and the more the price will go up again.

I think trading by news is not that bad if you know what the news is. Yes if you are reading a news article that means the price is already fluctuation regarding that news and you are probably already too late but if you can get a news before everyone else and if you know the news is good enough to affect the price than you react accordingly.

The problem is not "trade by the news" but its "trade by the news you read way to late while everyone already reacted on it". People see articles and buy/sell accordingly whilst market already moved on to the next news cycle. Do not trade by the news if you are not the first one to hear that news is more proper.

If he has decided to see not rising by the end of the year as a big disappointment, which is because that is the line he has decided to choose. Disappointment only comes to those who expect too much from the future they cannot predict, rather than trying to take advantage on the moment now, believing surely that the future is good irrespective of when it comes good, and then be able to make substantial decisions by utilizing the opportunity that the market brings now. There is so much in the future that is expected, so, trying to panic unnecessarily or getting disappointed if the market does not move as please, sounds absurd to me.

Right now, the prices are even more than cheap enough for anyone not to ever consider wanting to invest for the long term. Looking at most of the altcoins, except for some who have gotten pumped a little, I would say the chances of seeing the alts really making a big move is becoming glaring and it takes someone who is smart enough to know that the possibility of experiencing a bullish move before the end of the year could still be there. A lot of the altcoins have reached a huge demand zone and the possibility of seeing a reversal soon is there as long as the condition gets right.

Insider news indeed, like all have said, at least share the source or this is just another FUD post. There is much going for the market, and sure, no one knows how the market is going to go in the short, mid or long term no matter the insider news you are getting.

At this stage, it is obvious anyone would just want to assume anything in their head, because of that, ends up having a dream about it and then come here to tell us it is insider news. From where? I would rather look at the price action on the chat than focus on any insider news at the moment.

Normally, as a bounty hunter, your work is to project the product out there to the world and in the process that the ICO fails, then that shows the failure of the bounty hunters as well and since you are going to be paid in the token or coins as the case may be, you are definitely stuck with the fact that you will just have to accept the fate of not getting paid and moving on.

That is one part of the risk of bounty as you share the risk with the company and as long as you are not an investor which a legit ICO will definitely return investor's funds, and then you have nothing to get as a bounty hunter.

This is the smartest move anyone has ever done that I was part of seeing. I think buying as much as you can "afford" (people keep getting loans and stuff to buy bitcoin, that is stupid, this dude bought bitcoin with half of his stock investments which means he already saved that money aside anyway) bitcoin right now at the dip is an amazing move.

If I had money I would put half of it to bitcoin as well. People who bought bitcoin at $20k levels were buying on the hype when it was ABOVE the all time high prices, whereas this dude has bought it at the lowest it has been for over 10 months now, incredible wise move.

I really would want to know the region myself looking at the fact that from where I hail from, banks even take from you rather than giving you anything. If they are not deducting some bullshit charges for SMS, they are deducting on some maintenance whatsoever, and they keep making shit tons of money on my savings, with no benefit.

Well, they have gotten served what they deserve with the decentralized space now, and let us see how they want to keep up with the competition upcoming in the long run. This is actually the main reason why the real believers will always want cryptocurrency to thrive knowing how things have been with banks over the years.

What? You were expecting the price to just push up immediately because Google decided to limit the ban on cryptocurrency advert. Oh please! And I wonder where you are seeing 0 from anyway.

News naturally is not even something I would count on to bring about some huge changes to a market unless it is something that could bring about some real adoption of cryptocurrency and real demand, let alone a news of this, when Google actually realize the revenue they will be making from it anyway and want to decide to tap from it. It is not like initially when the ban was stated; anyone cared in the first place, so why should anyone care now?

That is the reason why resistance on the way up is always going to be huge and until we start seeing some really good news that would squash those resistances out of the way the market may not be strong enough to even test the previous ATH before it starts back down.

It is a normal thing with a market, people who have been holding for a while and then does not understand the advantage of holding long term will always want to cash out when they see the market increasing and then possibly changing trends back downwards, which is why the selling attempt within some region of resistance will be huge and 20k without any solid news will be hard to come by.

For btc, there is no certainty yet, even though the market has been trying to hold up for some time now and we can see the momentum increasing towards the bull side, but as long as we are still in a wedge or a descending triangle like I have been saying, I still remain bearish unless I just want to take some quick risk with some tight stop loss.

Nonetheless, there is no doubt that the signals in the market across board is really looking very good starting from the weekly candles to all the indicators showing some bullish signals, but at the same time, it is not always bullish until there is a clear break out signal with volume. I may not be too sure yet on how far bitcoin even will go on breakout, but it seems the alt market is ready to make a huge move.

Well, they always say at times, trends are always possible to see repeat themselves, but at the same time, we also need to understand that past trend is not an indication of what will happen in the future, being that a lot of things are changing, developments are moving fast, and things may actually be faster this time around.

However, if we are technically to judge from the charts, it is normal that we would still see some more trend downwards followed by a long period of consolidation as the case may be before we start seeing an uptrend eventually, but in cases like this, time usually is the only thing we have.

Those who are bigger miners will still mine bitcoin bro, and simply only the small miners will have to pack their bags for a while and maybe look for other things to do.

Sure, at that range, it sure will be less than mining cost from all the things I have seen so far on the net, and in that kind of situation, only those who already had something big going for them right from the onset will keep on, the difficulty will reduce as smaller miners pave way, and then it would be more incentives for the bigger players.

Say it bro! People hardly reflect these days and that is why they get so engrossed in something and before they know it, coming out of it becomes a huge problem for them.

There is nothing bad in taking a step back, thinking things through to realize where you are going wrong, get your mind filled with other positive energy when you know what you are doing is not being productive and that is what really makes a man to be called a man by taking full control of oneself.

The government has always been in control right from the onset, and something threatening to take that control away from them is absolutely expected to generate concerns for the government.

Policies are formulated daily at the expense of the citizens, monopolies have always been a norm, and all these is a way of them trying to make just themselves and some few sections rich so they can always gain control of how they want things to be, and that is where the whole idea of decentralization is hitting them as that control could be taken away from them.

I believe what works for everyone differs and I can actually feel you based on the fact that ETH ended up erasing almost all its gain last year, at least a huge chunk of it, and who knows, it could still go lower, depending on the market conditions.

For now, I want to believe that picking any product and most especially for ETH that has gone that low at their dips is always a good choice to make, no doubt about it.

Well, like you just said it. Hopefully!
I guess we are all expectant to see a good rise at the end of the year, how this would end up panning out is simply best known with time anyway and there is nothing anyone can do than to be patient.
Now, I still would not want to assume that anything can still happen and people expectation gets dashed, but as long as the long term is still certain and it is not really just about the short term, then I am cool with whatever comes in that short term.

For someone who knows what the peak was last year, I am sure, they will know if there is any better time to be buying, the time starts now. Sure, there is no doubt that the market could go lower, but trust me, even if the market should go to as low as $3000 today, some people will still be skeptical to buy it as they will be waiting for more and then eventually miss it and start joining FOMO eventually. Buy the dips so they say and the best way is to plan out how you are going to buy coupled with your expectations.

I really would not say at that stage it would be difficult to obtain because certainly for a huge adoption to have happened to that level, there is every possibility that we are always going to have hit the level of mainstream adoption and be using the currency aspect of bitcoin more for payment purposes.

At points like this, people are no longer focusing too much on the investment part of it, but how they can rather spend easily without having to rely so much on fiat.

Taking your eyes off the chart as a trader is not a smart thing to do. One thing you should always do as a trader is to have a strategy and then get to see how the strategy is going to work out for you based on position to buy, when to sell, and where you should be applying your stop loss.

It is a normal thing that is done if you know certainly what you are doing. A lot of people certainly do not know what they do, and that is why surviving the bear market will always be difficult for them.
