There were some coins I sold when I thought I had made some porofirs, yeti blamed myself for selling them too early, considering the rate at which the coins were growing.
I made the mistake on so many occasions, which was why I told myself that, I will always try every means, as much as possible to see that, which ever token I see to have good future prospects, I would hold.

I sometimes just imagine the rate at which some coins plunge. Most of those coins gave nothing to make them stable
Their holders are also ready to dump them at any price, because they already know that such coin has no product to bring about more value.
If we can always have coins with good products, cryptocurrency generally is likely to experience a high growth rate.

Every coin needs to be revisited and reviewed. There seems to be so many number of coins that do not have genuine use case and some do not have at all.
This has evey tendency, to bring down the price of such coin and one might not see it rise again.
The coins with good products are so minimal, which is why we rarely see coins that grow significantly.

The recent update is an indication that we might see more growth i the crypto market. If the update on bitcoin ETF is not halted, then that will be a good thing for this year to experience a better side of the market.
Some though the bitcoin ETF combined with the approval by SEC might not have any significant effect on the marke, but now we are seeing a positive effect, which might continue.

Apart from some of the research i have been able to do, which gives me some assurances, i also feel the urge to buy more coins and hold. The year is likely to be very much different from 2018 and we are likely to have more coins going uptrend. Which means that the long bear we have been having since last year, will possibly end in 2019. So it is good to just accumulate more coins and wait for the surge in price.

Litecoin is one of the prominent and reliable coins we have in the crypto space. The complaint that so many people have been having on litecoin, is that the growth is slow and that it does not have much of adoption, but the result it is having now is very much different from the general notion. With the recent growth in the market, it is the coin that has had more percentage growth rate than others, which shows it still has much potential.

It is of course either we see an uptrend or down trend in the price of ethereum. Ethereum since 2018 or even 2017, has remained a very volatile coin. So I won't be surprised to see any of the two happen i n a short space of time.
Whatever happens to ethereum, I just feel we should try as much as possible to prepare for it, because I do not trust any form of analysis from any crypto analyst.

Some situations sometimes are just out of control. When I was still very new to the system, with no experience in trading and investment, I fell victim of Somme scam coins. Most of them till now are still very low and did not return to the price I bought them. Some have remained at 1 gwei till now.
So it is true that some will never see the face of recovery again.

Thousand of projects have been lunched in the crypto space, yet lesser percentage of them have something meaningful, impactful and sustainable to offer. Projects of these nature, most especially those with no unique use case should be neglected, because at the end, nothing will be left of them.
If they are neglected, no one would want to come up to lunch an half baked project, because he would know that it will not be accepted and will lack support.
Even if there is no body to regulate these projects, we should by ourselves try to choose carefully.
Most of them promise and fail. Therefore no product, no support.

Despite the bear market, some coins are still going uptrend. Which means if you feel that prices are low at this time, then you still need to be careful of what to by, so as not to fall into FOMO. One of the coin i noticed that is surging is BitTorrent, likewise some other coins. You do not just move into investments like this, to avoid being a bagholder. If you cannot buy a coin when the price was very low. it is better for you to wait for it to plummet.

I also saw this same headline somewhere today. My concern is that, these scammers are turning the platform of Ethereum to a dumping ground for their scam projects. A platform that is very useful in accommodation crypto projects through its smart contract. I think there has to be an update on the platform, to ensure that eveery project that will be using the platform, must pass through some scrutiny, where investors, after suspecting anything fishy, can withdraw their funds, and that there should be a regulatory body to control every of those projects.

Not so many people are interested in using Poloniex these days, because of some news that are being peddled about them. The exchange used to be one of those on the interest lists when i first joined the cryto space, but even till now, i have not used it and i do not think i will ever consider it again, since there are now so many other exchanges i can still trust.
If you truly want to be on a safer side, i would advise you don't use it and just opt for another exchange where your tokens are listed. The pump might just be to lure users.

Every opportunity we have in the crypto space, is about time and chance. Those who could wait to recover their loses, despite what is being faced by them, have been to do that by chance.
Had it been we never waited to device means of recovering, even though the market has not recovered, we might still be dwelling on our pasts.
Thanks OP, for the words of encouragement.

There are certain things one cannot avoid, no matter how we try. Although, there might be exceptions to dump on coins at the initial listing.
Some coin might be able to sustain their price and keep growing, but it will definitely get to a point, where there will be retrace.
The only thing that is of concern to me about some coins is that, when they dump, you may never see them increase to the ATH again.

There is no doubt about it, that some coins are already established, so those that are just coming up need to do a lot, in terms of development.
Every coin is looking and working towards mass adoption. So if the new coin has been able to gain mass adoption, there will be little tasks left to compete favourably with those that have been well established.

I did not really get this details before now. I have only been hearing of USDT being a scam coin.
I see this occurrence to be very wrong, because those who are minting it, will be using it to enrich themselves.
I was not surprised to see the coin dump, immediately after it was announced to to be scam.

The bear market is not likely going to be over now. Although, there might be recovery soon, this year might just be used to prepare that.
Even if the market does not recover, you can still make your profit. I'm fact this is the period that is most preferred by lots of traders who are good at trading.
Learn what you need to know, because it will definitely be useful.

There are some people who deliberately come to this platform, create new accounts and begin to spread fud.
Their aim is to cause serious dump for such coin.
I could not imagine the fud that some came to spread as regards XEM coin that its a scam.
Personally, there is no cause for alarm. Left with me, I do not follow what others are saying.

There is no doubt, some ICOs are making some difference and are distinct compared to so many of them that produce shit coins.
There are just thousands of shit coins and very few of them genuine, perhaps 1:8.
This is not just happening, it has started for quite some time now. We are only seeing them manifesting these days.
There will be many good coins, if they can be accompanied with good products.

If a token or coin does not have a good update on any development to give to the community, there might not be any rise in price.
Sometimes, if you do not have access to firsthand information from the team of a coin, you might not really benefit from the pump.
Take a look at what happened to ethereum. Some people already knew the hardfork would be postponed, so they bought on time and dumped before it was announced again.
