I really do not expect holding to be a challenge for someone who understands the impact what they are holding will create in the future. I believe we have not seen anything yet. Unfortunately, the bigger players are gradually beginning to see this while some people in this community keep looking at bitcoin recovering or not and they are starting to accumulate knowing it is the future and it would make no sense not holding a lot of it.

The rich will just keep getting richer, isn't it ? Recovery is normal for any market, and downtrend does not change what the future holds for a strong market that is disrupting so many things.

Anyone who is definitely looking into choosing an area of investment will obviously have to do some level of digging first on such coin before even investing as that is the norm. So many people today especially newbies always look out for quantity and forget about the quality the coin or a token offers and then end up buying into and bag holding shit coins. We should always do some due diligence before buying any coin for long term.

As long as you believe in any coin's future, I have always believed that the cheapest price is still now considering how things may still turn out in the future. I have seen how so many people react to the fact that they cannot buy much of the coin based on the present value and forgetting what the value of that particular coin can actually turn out to be in the future.

How can a global regulation even occur when we have each country for itself ? I believe every single country will just have to come up with her own regulation on the way forward rather than having to stick with one single regulation which I absolutely feel would work more for the cryptocurrency space.

Plus, having one single regulation may not even work well for some and may be in favor of other countries implementing it, and since we have a lot of independent countries and a decentralized space, it cannot work that way.

Anyone would have really loved to see a time machine like that in play lol. A lot of us wish we could travel back as far back as 2010, but it is life. Those who saw the future and took the opportunity are the ones enjoying it now, and those who are taking the opportunity now are the ones who will be enjoying it in the future.

I know we still have a long way to grow with respect to growth and that is what anyone should be looking forward to, and a time will come when some would wish they even joined at this point in time.

Yeah, most times if you understand the goodies that lie in the future anyway, no matter when you invest, it is the future that would count. Some investors even when investing at the peak really would not care since they invested nothing they could not have afforded to lose and they could still use the opportunity now to buy more.

No one knows the wrong time in the market until it becomes wrong, the only thing that makes it wrong is when someone did not do proper diligence and ended up panicking and making the wrong decisions on their investment.

I would even rather stick to the fact you stated that 'WHO BELIEVES IT ?’
The thing is FUD generally cannot destroy bitcoin; otherwise we would not have been here today even after all that happened with MtGox, Bitstamp and the likes a long time back.

Yes, the market responds to FUD quickly than even good news, but it is generally part of the market and no matter what, it is something we have to always expect to happen and how we respond to it is all that matters within that short period.

I mostly come to the bitcointalk.org forum and the RedditBitcoin community to know what’s happening and to also know what’s trending lol. There are some news that I might not see when surfing the net, but when I come to anyone of these communities (Reddit and Bitcointalk) I will see a thread where people are discussing one thing or the other that I don’t even know about. So I will count these two communities as my number one reliable source of getting the news about cryptocurrency. Apart from the two I do go to CryptoCoinsNews, Coindesk, and some others too.

I really hope most of you understand what an economic bubble means. We may want to think of what happened last year as a bubble, which obviously we have gotten the result so far, but that does not necessarily make the whole cryptocurrency space a bubble and it is left for each individual to know what they are investing in.

Invest in a pump and dump coin with nothing to sustain its value then, you are investing in a bubble, but if what you are holding certainly has future and when the demand gets real for usage, you will enjoy the benefit and I do not call that a bubble as long as the value is sustained.

Well, maybe we will have to wait then to see how this is going to be playing out. As it is though, it does not seem like the market is showing any sign yet, but when the time is ripe, we will definitely know. Based on some of the things we saw last year, this was about the period we started seeing some movements in the market and that was good enough for those who took the advantage back then. Let’s hope we get to see some green moves in the market soon.

I am sure even when we are dead and long gone, bitcoin would still somehow remain. Even though no one can be certain what the future holds, we can at least still kind of be hopeful that it is going to be a great one. If government wanted to get rid of bitcoin or cryptocurrency at large, I am sure they would have done that already, but this is something they know is not achievable and the building of their own currency based on the blockchain technology will not affect anything.

I believe governments and central banks will start adopting bitcoin rather than trying to suppress it. Because the demand of need of bitcoin may decide everything and which is the only force to ensure the sustainability of bitcoin in long run.

It is not like ads are not even running as it is and as long as you can prove the legitimacy, you can still get your ads running. A lot of pages were locked as a result of this and after proving themselves to be a legal company, they were re-opened.

Although, I see no way this is generally going to affect ICOs in general, since it is not like the only medium where such things can be done, but I totally believe the move will surely help to curb out some scam ICOs. Because when the promotional methods are narrowing down then chances of fishing with random people also get narrowed down which may lead to less exposure for non-appropriate ICOs.

Simply put, we cannot just always expect one directional movement every time. The way the market has always been, it is either we are in a downtrend today or in the next few days we are back in an uptrend. That is what generally makes a market and for those who are always losing hope because they bought at the top, they should either take it as a best option to always buy more at the bottom, because a market can never remain the same way most of the time and recovery is always good.

Not just ETH, the prices of most of the coins and tokens in the market right now have gotten so cheap and in fact, I am even targeting very good projects from ICOs right now as they are just getting beat hugely by the downtrend in the market and going below the ICO prices. However, it is always a good thing to hold and buy more now, because whether we like it or not, the market will still recover, even not now, later on and those who are buying and holding now, will not definitely regret it.

Some people risk all their saving into cryptos as they do believe cryptos are the future. I am not finding any wrong in their decisions even veteran people always suggest to risk only what we can afford to lose and cryptos are still in experimental phase.

Must be a right move. The thing is that everyone keeps condemning holding until they try out trading without knowledge and then losing all they have completely. It is not all about just trying to take advantage of the market, the reason why a lot of people always say not to panic is so as not to make a mistake of leaving the market at the wrong time thinking you want to buy back lower.

If you are not cool with seeing your assets going down, then you can learn how to trade as it is better, even if it is long term just like you are about to do. That way, you can effectively take advantage of the fluctuations.

Anyone who is trading today is obviously trading to get rich and nothing else. Maybe the idea of getting rich while trading may make them emotionally satisfied but I do not think anyone with the act of trading itself will be looking at getting emotionally satisfied from it.

There is nothing like emotions in making money anyway, the essence of making money generally even outside trading is to make a lot of it, and it has nothing to do with emotional satisfaction. If anyone wants emotional satisfaction, they should fall in love or go and marry.

Actually I see it as smart investors just seeing a lot of greed in the market last year and then deciding to opt out of the market knowing the outcome is always one that would not make sense after all. The market got highly speculative, we had a huge bull run, and that move drove us into a hard correction which we are still trying to find some consolidation for now.

They obviously will know when to get into the market when the time comes and they are just on the side of the fence watching in 3D. Being a true bitcoiner, I am eagerly awaiting for the day when bloodbath will be completely finished off. Fluctuations are good but this kind of complete downfalls are really hurting.

The main reason most people always say you should invest what you cannot afford to lose is so that when times like this come, it would be easy for you to discard what is going on and move on with your daily life. The fact is you cannot time the market, you can only decide to stay careful but at the same time, you still have to play it with wisdom.

A lot of people who bought into FOMO may not have, but the truth is everyone had the perception of bitcoin to the moon, with nothing actually driving the demand except speculations and that was the bad thing but this does not mean in the nearest future, the previous ATH, will not end up being the future bottom.

Greed is what has been the problem of most people. They always end up comparing themselves with someone who has been holding since early days and expecting that they will just enter the market and profit will just start swimming in for them all of a sudden. If they do not understand the volatility as well as the reason why they are investing in bitcoin, then they really do not even need to be here.

This year probably will be identified as an exception as I am worried on the current trend. Still I am too a long term investors and I hold all bitcoins since 2015. I am in profit side already hence I never need to change my initial plans.

I prefer the word unreal. No one can forecast anything unless maybe you are just lucky to have joined a group of whales that are holding the market strong and can decide to make it dwindle to wherever they want it. However, as a serious trader who is ready to make money, following other people to trade is just bullshit. You will always be safer when you learn and you know exactly what you are doing in the market.

Please count on me too... Thank you !

Prompt payment as usual. Must be a great campaign of BTT. Thank you very much sir !!
