A very good way to advertise your own product but you have some pretty good point. Before going on with what I have to say to what you mentioned about ICO and product, your project actually seems interesting and I may be digging more on that for details and how to participate if I get convinced.

Back to the main topic, the thing with so many investors today is that they always prefer to stick to the surface and leave out those things within that are important. Product is an important thing for a project's growth and without it, unless may be the team decided to work on it later on, which is even a risky move to make for an investor, there will always be a problem at the end.

The best thing is to always see the availability of a product and how relevant it is to the real world as people can easily build any app these days and call it a product, and then it is from there you will be able to judge if this would be worth investing or not.

Right from the onset, the ability to control your self is the only way you will not end up becoming an addict in the long run. Most gamblers tend to set their mind by default towards winning at all cost and that itself has really cost them a whole lot.

As long as you know gambling is just a game of luck and for most part of it, you will be prone to losing more than winning, the ability to control those impulses when it comes to try to chase some luck or winnings will be an easy thing to achieve. Everything in life requires control and if you end up not being able to, whatever you cannot control will end up controlling you.

I want to believe it is the mindset of getting rich quick that a lot of newbies have set for themselves is the reason why they get so emotional easily and they tend to make the wrong decisions most times when it comes to a market. The market is just in a healthy correction, but when a market is down, this is not a time to be bearish on the market, but a time to be accumulating.

Moreover out of fear, people bail out at loss or fail to take advantage of the dips and instead all they do is to hear the market going up rapidly and then FOMOing until they eventually miss out a lot. Life is all about learning the perks and being able to deal with every situation for your benefit.

The only way anyone can easily identify scam most especially when it comes to ICO is to be able to take a deep look on the team for starters. You cannot expect something serious from a team that is non serious or looks unreal and in that case, you really do not want to be investing your money in such places.

Scammers tend to use fake profiles most of the time, and they will always end up leaving some footprint as there is no way they can ever get it right like when a team is doing the real thing. Secondly, the product availability helps a lot, but you really want to check if it is even a product worth investing in, in the first place.

Some good points. I would say the personal problems a whole lot of people usually end up having is that they are not ready to learn and that would always put them in a position of making important decisions ignorantly and blindly. As long as you can find the ways to make a better decision for yourself in the long run, and you have the ability to analyze on your own, there is no way making a decision will be a problem and that eliminated any individual problem.

Crypto market on its own is still evolving and certainly, volatility and price manipulation are some things you cannot just do without at the moment until the market gets more matured. With respect to regulation, I believe as time goes on, all these would be a forgotten thing as most countries, will see the need to derive benefit from the space and without regulating, they won't be able to do that.

Up till now, I still do not know why we still so much give so much attention to the price of bitcoin associated with ETF as the case may be, and I do not even believe any serious conclusion regarding that will be made this year, but absolutely because of the speculative nature of the market, people will always want to assume some possibilities for the market. The market has been doing well without ETF and I do not see any reason it should stop doing well without it in the long run.

You must be wrong. Why not 100,000 USD or even millions ? I believe before an ETF gets approval, we are going to see prices to breach $30k levels too. I mean SEC may take some time and in between times bitcoin will prove its own capabilities.

I do not think people have even given up yet, and whales surely know that as they would tend to want to shake it down to the point where even those who have been stylishly holding on will just see no hope anymore since they do not understand why they should be investing in the first place which should be for the future.

We surely are getting pretty close, but it is a thing of the mind and psychology and the whales sure know how to play it well. We might see some little uptrend before the end of the year, but that is when they strike again, make people want to pull out faster, and with that, we get to see the market moving down fast as even those who have been holding all these while lose hope, and then consolidation, and then recovery.

First of all is the short futures and long futures.
Well, longs are not the problem but the shorts are, I have seen a number that stated 53% of futures sold was shorts recently which means more people believe in bitcoin going low so much that they are willing to bet on leveraged numbers to get shorts.

Do you think bitcoin can succeed and go high and increase in price when the people that uses bitcoin mostly believe that bitcoin will go down and want to try and profit from this drop ? We will not be going anywhere high until the people stop investing into shorting and start investing on long term increase. Otherwise we will just be around these numbers.

If we TRULY want to there is also enough food to go around the world feeding the whole population TWICE however most of that money goes to waste. I remember back when I worked in hotels whatever was made that day either was sold or went to trash, this was done so no worker would try to "not sell" something so he can eat it at the end of the day.

Stuff like these are just least of our worries considering there are fast food joints who make a lot of money and throw the food to trash at the end of the day. This is just food, considering how much money is in the world, some people and companies have so much profits and earnings that it can make EVERYONE in the world not poor with one quarter of profits.

There is a lot to still trust in a project as long as it has a real life usage and the issue most of the time with people is that they tend not to understand the part where market can generally be bound to be bearish and there is nothing anyone can do about it. However, bearish is not always the best time to join in the bearish sentiments but always the best time to look forward to accumulating for the long run which is what certainly a lot of people tend to not realize but prefer joining FOMO by default.

You must doubt the value of ETH as it is having unlimited supply and arrived here with lots of pre-mined coins. I am not sure about the value of ETH in both short term and long term. Moreover, in my view it is just a gambling. It may have good future if ICO platform will do good.

The core reason why your luck factor is not favoring you is, you are not focusing for long term. If you are so, then probably you might have withdrawn your coins into cold storage and you might have enjoyed lots of profits. Who else would have set the sell order if you are not the one and why will you ever be trading at all without at least having some way to monitor your trade once in a while. I would not call that unlucky as you at least was able to make some good profit from your trade.

In my experience, you never need to check your coins' prices everyday it is a thing of day-trading and definitely not for crypto world. Another important thing now is to just look for a better point of entry again, but at this time, it is obvious the doge market is correcting. Trading is not gambling, so luck really does not play much part in it.

That is a pretty huge loss at the moment but it is not a loss until you sell at loss anyway. At some certain stage when it comes to investment, the only best thing you can just do as a person is to simply try as much as possible to be patient enough and then wait for the long term which most of the time it always end up a good one for a whole lot of people. Dumping at this stage now, will simply make it even more regrettable for him in the long run when the market recovers.

The mistake virtually a lot of people make is not just only joining a FOMO, but at the same time, opening a marginal position without a stop loss where you can get totally liquidated and then losing everything before you even know it. I have never been a huge fan of marginal trading anyway and I have always been so skeptic about it. However, this indeed should be a huge regret for anyone and I hope over the months you have been able to learn from your mistakes and have made necessary adjustments.

You can get rich anywhere as long as you have the knowledge to pull the market off but not like getting rich overnight anyway, it is a market and there is always going to be downtrend even in Forex and if you trade Forex even without any knowledge, you are bound to experience the same fate in the long run anyway.

Not all ICO are scams even though most of them are, it all depends on each individual how they are knowledgeable enough to know where they are investing their funds into and where they should not. However, it is, trading any market requires knowledge and people who do not put that into their attention always end up failing woefully.

I honestly blame games like pubg or fortnite or similar.

It all started with people gambling on cs:go and the weapons of sorts, there was kids who gambled with their skins on guns and suddenly it moved to people betting on esport games of cs:go tournies and in return get bigger skins and was capable of selling them on steam as well. That moved to fortnite and pubg and they started to this "cases" or so.

Mind you these are kids as little as 10-12 years old. They use their tablets and pc's to play games but their gambling starts there. Now those kids are growing up and of course started to gamble themselves.

There is one thing I do, no need for three . I just keep waiting until it goes back up to a level where I can feel comfortable.

As long as you wait enough than there is no reason why you should be worried about price dropping. Market could be bear, everything could be horribly going to low, just focus on spending money you can afford to lose and you won't worry when the price is going down. You need to focus on not dropping but just the patients of the fact.

No three need or something just one thing and that is patients. If you wait enough than the price eventually goes back up and you profit from it. Sometimes quickly, sometimes takes time.

Fighting is one thing that would not end up productive for them, which is one main reason why we have been seeing a lot of government trying as much as possible to see the ways they can at least regulate it and benefit from it than having to fight it.

This is something that brings a great benefit and over time the demand will keep on springing up and since we are talking about some global effect here, no country will certainly want to be left out of the whole equation as the case may be. We cannot say how far low bitcoin would go, but we can at least say there is a great future for it.

Well, that depends on how near the future you are talking about is like and for what it is worth, no one can really tell what becomes of bitcoin even in the next few seconds, so, the best answer to always give to situations like this is that at its own time, bitcoin would hit $20,000 and surpass it in the long run, as that is one thing I believe would happen eventually at some point as long as development and adoption keeps increasing.

The value may rise at the end of the year, but does not mean it would be able to have enough power to go test the previous ATH. It is, I am sure bitcoin may still want to try out the bottom over again and then see how it is possible to break it lower but there could be some sideways movement or some upward movement before then and that in its own should be something to expect, but not like an exact price should be expected as no one can certainly know.

That is another way to look at it . Torrent has always been like the first decentralized way of sharing files and that is one thing they have tried to want to get rid of, but as long as things remain decentralized, that would always be a hard thing to achieve.

Moreover, I do not see any reason why we need to be worried if they feel threatened; as I believe the ability to control the internet would be something that could not be that very much possible, unless there is something I am missing. Highest we would see is regulation and that would be subject to fiat conversion most of the time.

No price can be stable, at least not when you are comparing it with another currency and this is where demand and supply comes in. Secondly, this is a decentralized space and it is not like bitcoin can be controlled, however, a time may only come with wide level of real life usage in which there could be some equilibrium between demand and supply, but necessarily does not mean it would just get totally stable as the case may be. It is deflationary in nature and that actually makes it very susceptible to price changes a lot asides being decentralized.

It is just a market, and there will always be a point where it weakens against another pair or get stronger as the case may be. It is more like when a supply for bitcoin increases, it definitely weakens against the dollar and when the demand increases, it gets stronger. It is a law of demand and supply that every market operates in and as long as bitcoin remains decentralized and nothing is changed in the protocol, I do not see how it can totally get stabilized, or probably with high volume of real life usage may help in this case.

Yes, patience. It is always greed that makes a lot of people to do things they know their heart can absolutely not handle. This is a market in which we obviously know that things can change rapidly due to its volatility and then you see people taking loans and trying to see how they can use someone else's money to make themselves richer. The little you put into an investment today can yield great profit in the long run, if you have enough patience to wait for it.

It is not necessary for you to go all the way than you can afford before investing in cryptocurrency, however, I guess it is a common sense that the more you invest into something, the more the profit you will get and also the more the risk that comes with it as well.

Hence at the end of the day, it all balls down to you investing what you feel you can afford and not end up going more than you cannot as that might backfired, get you emotional and probably get burned.
