So, I am kind of curious. It looks like not much is being done by the devs on this coin. Most especially with pretty low volume from the States. I am just concerned the only exchange that seems a bit alive on volume for Pot right now, does not end up getting it delisted.

I honestly do not think the bull season has ended yet, I feel we are just starting. A lot has changed since 2018 when the long downtrend started with so many real life use cases, more acceptance even by Financial institutions blah blah. All these things will speak volume! We may have a retrace within the year, but I feel we still have a long way to go to the moon. I wouldn't be surprised if bitcoin market cap hit trillions this year. For all I care anyway, Bitcoin remains in a long term uptrend. One thing for sure is that bull markets don't just last for a month on Bitcoin in the short term.

I wouldn't be surprised if the FOMO this time around will drive us to 100k. Hehe! It is actually funny how in reality, you tell people to buy the dips, and they say the market is crashing and then, due to FOMO, they buy the tops anyway. People think we already had the FOMO, but I feel we are yet to see that yet. This is just Bitcoin creating a higher high in an uptrend both in the short and long term. I remember how we thought 10k will be the peak in 2017... Fingers crossed. In the long run, some of us feed on the panic.

It was like yesterday, when the long correction from 19800 happened, and then everyone was busy looking for where to buy. I bet some even claimed Bitcoin would get to $1k and they would rush in. It just amazes me today how someone is looking out for a support at $20k.

My point: no one knows nothing. If you can look out for price action; and higher highs and lows from key supports (previous resistance), you can buy, but that doesn't still guarantee, as this is a volatile environment.

However, if everything I just said, sounded like pure jargon to you, then just buy and look at long term prospect, instead of short term gains. That saves you from buying what you can't afford to lose (you can only lose anyway, if you sell at loss, since you are in a spot market). If market goes lower to the region where you expect you really want to get in, feel free to buy more (you can split the funds). At the end, you have nothing to lose in the long term.

The fact is, no one can tell you what happens tomorrow or if bitcoin would pull back to $20000. I for one would love to see that happen, to see the price reaction in that region, probably to serve as very key and tested support in the long run. Wish you all the best in your decision making.

Well, as things are now, we can only think and assume possibilities until the main scenario tend to happen and we get to see the market reaction towards it. Sure, there is no doubt that the market has been living on hope, but to think of it, if there is no harm in people trying to look for hope even when it seems there is none. We just have to wait to see how this will be turning out when Bakkt launch and that is when we will get to see if there would be any reaction based on that positively, negatively or no reaction at all.

Just be very diligent with your findings, that is all. The thing like you said is that fraudsters keep looking for new ways to keep upgrading with their deception, so in a way, the best thing is to make sure you are always a step ahead in most cases, and how can you do that? Just make sure you are basically not just looking at the surface, but checking out all the necessary things you need to know and as an investor, never be lazy to keep asking questions until you are fully convinced.

In case you have not noticed, from the general traditional market that has been traded for years even to this one, everything is all a game of probability for retail traders, it is just how you are able to strategize, anticipate, manage risks and make the better judgement in your trade that would matter at the end of the day. One thing I always do though is never to think of what could be a possibility for how far a market would go or how low, I just basically allow trend and time to do the talking. I feel over time, that has suited me a whole lot better.

There is certainly no assurance in the present condition of the year at this point in time. We might end up having some relief rally probably towards $6k, but that will only be known with time but as it is, I would not expect so much this year anyway as we might possibly dwindle in between $3000 and $6000 throughout the year before we end up seeing any likelihood of a new uptrend. Just on the sidelines looking at how the market would be fairing for now, while taking some little advantage of the short term opportunities.

Just like in an article I once read, it is always very hard to grow from high up and that is how I see high cap ICOs. When you have a low valuation, it makes it a lot more interesting for the investors, and this is the kind of market that would grow pretty great as far as I am concerned as they have more space to grow. So in simple terms, the higher you already higher, the more difficult it becomes to grow coupled with the fact that most ICOs today are basically centered on greed just as you said anyway and some investors keep falling for it.

That is usually the thing. If you do not account for the fact that there is a risk in trading, how will you be able to manage the risk in the first place. Ask a lot of people today, they think every one that trades does not lose no matter how small, but how small you lose in a trade is dependent on your plan which includes how you were able to manage risks despite your predictions or speculations based on your strategy.

One major reason a lot of people will keep losing in trading till date, because they do not have that idea that trading is an educated gambling, and you need to have a plan and strategy to be able to make the best of it, otherwise you get screwed before you even realize it.

Which is one of the major reasons the whales and some of the institutions will keep having a pretty good time with playing with the minds of the gamblers in this market.

A lot of people do not know why they are buying, except for the fact that they believe the market will end up increasing in the long run. Sure, it is not a bad idea of a thought to have, but at the same time, that is one reason that has set up so many people into making the wrong decisions with their investments over the years. The market is opened to a lot of people anyway which includes the inexperienced investors, so it is a normal thing to get to see things like this.

Certainly! Before investing in anything at all, you basically need to understand the risk involved, the reason why you are investing and what you believe in when it comes to what you are investing in. If you do not come to terms with all of these things, there is every possibility you will find it very hard to make it as a successful investor in this market.

I am of the opinion that the market has hit a rock bottom, and we might stick around this zone for a while or probably if I am wrong, we may have the final stage of capitulation and that time, I really would not be slowing down to buy, I will be rushing to buy, knowing the great potential that is present in this market.

We cannot start pointing out any correlation at the moment, since thus far there has been no past scenario to look at to be able to know how things would end up working out. A lot of people may have their different thoughts based on different reasons, but for me, what brought about the deflationary nature of bitcoin and what urged the creation of bitcoin and its features was basically linked to the previous crisis. One thing for sure, most people who are investors and smart, would not want to be in fiat, and in such periods, assets tend to increase, hopefully, we will get bitcoin serve its purpose as a digital asset.

Mistake most people tend to make is to think losing is not part of a trade, of course it is, and it is how you manage the risks of losing to the reward you get per trade that matters. Now, it is not your fault if you lose, if you anticipated something and it does not work out as planned which made your stop loss to hit.

However, it is most definitely anyone's fault if they never had a stop loss in their plan and they are now in a big loss. These are totally two different case scenarios as far as I am concerned. Anyone that wants to trade, and does not stick it  in their head, that they have to account for losses too, are not ready to trade at all.

Of course, it is not something appealing, but at the same time, when you understand the reason why you got in the first place, except if you have none or got in for the wrong reasons, you will know why you should be confident and hopeful for the future. Just as you said, we are in the growing and learning phase, so one way or the other, we will keep getting better at the decisions we make over time and our approach to the market as well.

It should actually be more like, will Visa adopt blockchain technology in the long run. I believe it will and one thing we have to understand is that being on the blockchain does not necessarily mean you have to be decentralized by all means, and I believe as time goes on there will be a lot of improvement with scalability, so one way or the other, I feel there is a whole lot that will happen when it comes to integration of most of the payment company with blockchain over time.

Maybe, maybe not, but certainly it looks like 3000 seems to be a great psychological support a lot has been waiting for and it falls on the long term support anyway. However, it is a market, and we cannot guarantee anything yet although, knowing what the pre and post-halving usually tend to bring, I guess there is still great hope long term. Looking at the situation of things, this year would really be a very boring one, but at least, not a bad time to be accumulating for those who are smart.

The funniest thing with this market or any market right now, most especially when you are gradually approaching the bottom is the likelihood of long term sideways movement before the continuation of a certain trend or the reversal of a trend. For this market right now, there is nothing guaranteed, but for the long term, there is hope most definitely. At this stage in the market, I would not expect anyone to be selling but to be looking forward to buying more and as much as they can. You don't sell when there is promo right? That is kind of my take on this.

This does not look like a great plan to me. Firstly, there is no trick when it comes to trading, the most important thing is to have a good strategy and a plan. As it is, I can only point out 3 things from what the OP have said; buy low, sell high and if you are in loss, be patient (that is a sucked plan!).
 
If you want to trade, trade! And if you want to invest, invest! When it comes to trading, your plan should include what you look at when you are buying, selling or where you should be stopping loss, if a particular trend wants to continue in contrast to what you anticipated. Being a reactionary trader is more like setting yourself on fire and more chances of losing.

Well, that is a whole lot true and until people actually learn from the mistakes that comes with greed before they will be able to know how to handle themselves, and that is if they actually let go of that greed. I believe excitement, greed and ignorance tend to work a whole lot together. Sure, the media are always there to create the hype and excitements which brings about FOMO and then a lot of promises assumed in people's head, and the only way to be able to handle yourself without having to miss out on any possibilities on the way up and on the way down by monitoring possibilities of trend change is by seeking knowledge which helps eliminate the ignorance and greed from the picture.
