I don't think that we can entirely attributed the fall from South Korean FUD in January. There are other factors as well, specially when the CME and CBOE bitcoin future contracts were about to expire. Clearly we can see some manipulations from behind causing the price to slip even further. Then there's the India FUD, Tether subpoena that added fuel to the fire to the already sensitive market.

But with bitcoin's proven record, there's not a doubt in my mind that we can overcome all this hurdle. Yes, bitcoin has died a thousand times according to people who spread panic around the forum, but it will be just a matter of time before we can see the price picking up and moving on a upward trend again.

And our battlecry? , Just HODL

Usually I hold during the first few days and see how the market reacts, but most of the time, I just sell them off. Because on the first phase of the release of the coins, you will see a sudden jump on the price by huge proportion and then just ride it on till the values goes down. If I see that the price is being pump I immediately sold it off. Don't want to wait till its useless.

But there are coins that I also hold long term. If I see that the roadmap is clear, even when everyone is dumping their coins. Sometimes it will just explode when there's a good news coming from the devs and you will be happy that you hold on it and you are paid handsomely at the end.

Even before when crypto doesn't exist, there are really a lot of online based project you can find around from simply survey to doing offshore work from different companies around the world.

But during the last few years, digital or virtual currency became to emerge as one of the choices for payment. Because bitcoin was really invented by Satoshi to be a peer-to-peer, meaning there are no third party involved. However, when it really became so popular, we face the issues of high tx cost and slow confirmations that makes people go to traditional payment such as wire transfer. But I'm sure that when Lightning Network is implemented, we may see it more adoptable for micro payments once again.

Please everyone here losses money not just in the current dip. The main question is how are you going to face it, you just sold everything and take the losses or just waited it out since bitcoin has a track record to recover?

Right now it looks like the dip is over because we have been seeing gains in the last couple of days. So if you just decided to push the sell button during the crisis, then you make the wrong decision. But if you did hold, then more patience is needed and wait till bitcoin fully recover and reach all-time-high.

For the reasons, its all over the forum, social media and other crypto websites. Government regulation is one, then FUD's by those people from behind who wants to pull the price so that they can bought it at a discount. That's how the market works since day 1, so don't be surprise but be prepared.

Thanks for the fair warning buddy, but I won't click those link, sadly, everyone is really riding on the coat tail of crypto, a simply click bait news will send huge traffic on your website specially if the news is somewhat controversial like what that OP is trying to send us.

I agree with Pursuer here, why the heck will PBoC sent out emails to news agency, that's not how they work. They usually gave interviews and make official announcement, but sending emails? It doesn't make sense at all.

Yes, you are right. That's why investors should learn how to differentiate and filter out which one is fake and which one is real news because media has the power to spun everything out of control. That's why during the South Korea and India news about regulations was announced, everything went out of control causing the market to crash.

But if you will just have to read between the lines, both nations did not say anything about banning it, however, the media has sensationalized the news and 'deceived' the public such that it looks like India And South Korea has already put the hammer ban which is not the case.

Now I'm getting paranoid to open up my Samsung Smart TV because of this news. 

Seriously though, these hackers/malwares/trojans are really evolving and keeping one step ahead on us as far as making money out of us (unsuspecting victims). And I just this will be another entry point to attack cryptos, just like you said. I think I have to take every precautions moving forward.


I will try to look at this issues and see how can I install anti-virus to this Smart TV otherwise, I will just throw this out of the window for good measures. 

Russia will not regulate or even accept crypto. They are going to put a ban hammer on it. They already have their own government back up crypto already. So I doubt that Putin will accept anything that he can't control. And besides they keeps on contradicting themselves.

As for the South Koreans, yes they are now working on a framework on how to properly regulate cryptos. One thing I don't like is that they say that they are going that exchanges are require to share information to banks. But let's see, they haven't release any official statement yet, but I'm sure that it will be tight and every local exchanges should comply with everything they set.

True, for a long term holder, it wouldn't make any sense at all to look at the price that often. Actually they don't f*** care. They would rather check after 6 month to a year and see how their investments grows.  Only those traders who do short trading will check the price because they need to buy / sell at the exact moment the price either goes up or down.


Panic that will lead you to decisions that you will regret later because your decisions will be clouded seeing that the price is going down. Well, we can't stop people checking the price every minute but its up to you, if you want to headaches then be my guest, LOL. But I'm sure that we will be having a hard time to sleep when you see that the price is nose diving.

Indeed, with so many negatives sentiments in the air for the past weeks its about time that we heard someone talking sense about ICO's, government banning and regulation. He speaks wisdom, sparkling a positive vibes that sends shockwave and now the market is getting all green as of the moment.

Am I the one thinking that this is a major factor that will kick the whole bullish trend again?


Right, I hope that this will bring those uber bullish about bitcoin and crypto to flock the ecosystem once again. Its really frustrating that everyone this bloodbath causes headaches to all of us. Let's see how its going to be. But for me this is really big news and I'm sure that we can push the price again to a new all-time-high.

That's why we always says that weak hands are shaken at every market correction that we have seen so far. And now the wind of change has shifted again. Looks like we are in for a rally as the price is picking up due to the positive news of the US Senate hearing on bitcoin and cryptos. They are really in for a rude awakening.

Dumping their coins specially at during the crisis is not the best thing to do. Now they are going to regret their decisions. But I do hope that those who panics sell has the attitude to get back into the market when it deep further below $6K. Again we are in a rally and hope that everything will be back to normal. NO more FUD and bearish sentiments.

Your questions can't be answered because no one can really predict the price movement. There are some TA that can help you out, but even it can't pinpoint the exact path. We need to wait and observe how the market moves and react to it.

If you see that the price is going down in the next couple of days then you should buy more and stock up your wallet because the chance bitcoin hitting another all time high after this crash is very possible.

Yes, you don' need to sell specially at this moment. No need to panic. Just hold and buy more if you have the funds.

You really out of your mind? You will eventually lose everything if you are going to go for online betting. So your question is very easy to answer mate.

Although I assume that you are fairly new that's why I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Crypto trading for me is profitable in the long run. But its not be a easy journey to begin with. You will find threads bitching out that after a year in crypto they are still not earning as they wanted to be. It could be that they are not that adept or enough knowledge about  the subject because its really tricky for beginners. I advise you to take some time to read the tips of the experts here and just try small amounts and see how it goes for you.

Well bankers really hate bitcoin so it only make sense as to who is to blame about all the FUD that we have been hearing. And this is another attack from them, I'm sure that the market will be affected by such negative news coming from JP Morgan and BoA. So we need to brace ourselves, I mean tie ourselves to something strong. lol.

Of course everything is just for the "money". They know that significant amount of money have been flowing in the crypto world specially last year. They want a piece of it, that they will resorted by attacking it, started by Jamie Dimon last year.

Of course with the current situation my poftfolio is down. But I'm still not selling anything so I don't think that I lose something. Its only down by a few percentage but I'm in it for the long haul so I'm not touching anything on my wallet.


Really funny though to read those FUD waves around the forum. And noobs suddenly dump their coins which they bought at top price of $17K-$19K. They should have hold on but sadly they are affected by a lot of FUD here and other social media outlets. They instead should wait and not panic sells, too bad for them.

I agree. Its really so frustrating at times to see your wallet and slowing draining because the market is currently stalling. We have been spoiled to see the price goes up, specially last December when it nearly went as high as $20K. Good times.

But 2018 is really a pain for all of us. We didn't expect anything like this, so the best thing is to wait for it to bounce back. This behavior though is just normal, everything is either up or down. And I'm happy that most of the members here are still bullish about bitcoin. Only few members spewing lies and FUD. When everything recovers, all those shills will be silent again.

Yes, this is a vicious cycle that we are seeing again. Prices go up and down momentarily. That's how this market works. The only thing is that you should not be worry because everything can be recovered. We have seen how crypto started from nothing to almost $1T marketcap. Patience and holding is the key here.


Yes. Golden moments for all of us to really enter the market. All of them are in a bargain. My portfolio is already full. But I'm thinking of adding more if the price still goes down in the next couple of days.

Well, this market is really volatile and we can't really know when is a certain price is going to be. Just at the end of year and early part of this year, Ethereum is surging ahead and top $1K for the first time. And it stays on that price range even though bitcoin has been in several market corrections. Ethereum is not affected, though it will go down a bit and bounce back.

But today, it goes below $900 and I don't know if there's support level at this time. But for me, this is just temporary setback and no need to worry because pretty sure that long term is will recover and rebounded.
