Your question sounds vague! There are two sides to every market and those are uptrend and downtrend! If you need the money urgently and wish to withdraw, you just have to sell at any amount that you see it, unless you are willing to wait to see it pump.

Your idea of making money in a market either in a pump or dump scenario all depends on your trading knowledge and trading is not like a get rich quick scheme that would just give you an avenue to start making money immediately. It takes skills, patience and time.

Well, the connection could have been a lot of Turkish citizens getting out of their currency to find a safe spot to put their funds without having to face the turmoil from the economic downturn.

It is a normal thing, but we also have to understand that there are also other safe assets they can end up putting their funds and would be more relaxing for them than cryptocurrency since it is highly volatile and in its early age.

Nevertheless, who knows how things might turn out later on? But I personally do not see much happening with respect to this. As it is, people will want to give themselves so many reasons why they should expect a bull run.

Those who lose money are simply those who are dumb enough to end up trading without any knowledge at all. That is certainly what most people in this space do. They opt into trading with very little knowledge and some with no knowledge at all and then think it is just about buying low and selling high. As long as you are a well learned trader, you can make money in any market.

Using 1000 respondents only to get the estimated percentage of those who own crypto currency in a country sounds B.S to me and that is a very unreliable data with a lot of bias. I am pretty sure this was something conducted on the Internet and the demographics within each location is even unknown which is quite important considering some of the indicators that could affect people converting their funds into crypto as well. I just feel this is an extremely incomplete data.

Apparently. There is no way anyone would waste time and resources on a scam project and not end up feeling bad at the end of the day. This is why it is necessary to always try as much as possible to limit the likelihood of experiencing scams by doing due diligence on the project before even being a part of it in the first place. Even though sometimes it may still not end up good, but it is usually rare if you do proper diligence.

Exactly! And for those who keep saying that the market has been testing $6K support and holding has forgotten it can test it again and fail. We all know how so many people in the past were so enthusiastic about a huge support at $10k and here we are! Like you said, anything is possible and as long as this is still a downtrend market, we can go lower rapidly at any time. The market may experience a short term movement upward, but I would not want to count on it yet for a bullish move.

People only just like to associate every news with any movement in the market. Sure, news fundamentally are usually a driving force when it comes to market, but I feel the whole ETF thing has been too focused on to be one of the driving force which I believe it is not. Probably if accepted could bring about some interest in the market but I do not really see its disapproval having much effect as it is.

Also, with respect to the crash Op mentioned, this is simply just a normal downtrend, but whoever want to see it as a crash is their cup of tea. Crash or not, at least we have the chance to buy lower.

I still make use of icobench most of the time to see what some other investors are talking about so as to limit my search in a way. Do not get me wrong, I don't just follow whatever anyone says directly without doing my own proper diligence, but at least it gives me a clue where I should be looking at, with how super saturated the ICO space is and the number of ICOs, both fake and real pops up every day.

If we all know the bottom, we sure won't be stressing ourselves about anything as it would be easy to invest at the right time. We may have hit the bottom, although I still feel otherwise, but one thing is, like you said, from $1000 to $19800 and then testing $5800 - $6k as bottom feels like a good market to me, so, if anyone wants to see it as a death scenario, that is their call.

Altcoins on the other hand,  we all know this is one pump and dump market that is incomparable to the support bitcoin has and even of we have not reached the bottom yet, it would just be a good opportunity to buy more anyway.

Changed its stance? Maybe you have not been following the news, but everything that has emanated in the past few years from China in relation to cryprocurrency is always negative. If they are not halting participation in ICOs, or sending exchanges packing, they will just find something to do to jeopardise the effort of the citizens towards crypto.

Moreover, this is not even a serious news or problem and they can crack down whatever they wanna, but that would not stop the development and evolution of the crypto world in the long run. The news might be fake as well though, who knows?

ICOs will keep coming whether we like it or not, and even with regulations, we will keep seeing them unless of course, a lot of things end up changing based on the regulation which ends up affecting bounty hunters. Projects and ideas will definitely come up using the blockchain technology, and there would still be some opportunities and usefulness of bounty campaigns in pushing the project out. Nevertheless, I even foresee with regulations, we will start seeing less of scam and as far as anyone is even smart enough to do due diligence, they will know how to remove scam ICOs from their dictionaries.

Why not? It is a market and apparently, there will always be swings and if you have a very good strategy in pulling your trade off based on your signals or whatsoever, then you can easily swing in a bitcoin market. However, due to its high volatility, it is one market you really want to be sticking with a very principled strategy and sticking with it no matter what. It is a decentralized market and manipulations are possible, but if you know what you are doing technically, you will always enjoy those swing movements.

Anyone can end up predicting whatever they feel like, but in reality, and technically, I really do not see much possibility in this. I call this more or less like jumping faster than one's shadow. 2023 is about 5 years from now and for bitcoin to be as high as that, it means, the market cap would have been extremely huge and a lot of institutional money has kicked in or some development just caused some huge skyrocket in the market. For now, we still have a lot of resistance to contend with to even go back testing the previous high and a lot of fluctuations in between. I guess with time, we will get to see how the market ends up.

I always see people that fall for scam as those who are somehow as greedy as the so called scanner themselves since they are looking for a way to get rich overnight without working for it. There is nothing free in this world, and if you are getting it free, you are simply robbing someone else to get it.

Worst part is if you tell these people they are involved in scam, they simply shut you up like you know nothing. Well, time usually will come with actions that does not lie. As long as people will never stop the mindset of getting rich quick, scammers will always have their way.

Better to learn how to trade yourself and make your own decisions than utilising any form of signal on telegram because you will end up losing a lot at the end. If you cannot learn how to trade, then better hold. A lot of people think they would just simply start hitting huge profit with telegram signals but what you do not know is that most of those signal owners are just some bunch of losers looking out on the gullible newbies they will feed on from their signals.

Maybe if you take your time to read some of the security popup when you enter the MEW site, you will understand why a lot of people always have a problem.

You need to understand that security is something anyone should take serious in this space and if that is lacking and you also lack the understanding of ways to stay secured, it would be a problem using MEW.
I have used MEW for several transactions without a problem. You should know though, that entering your private key most of the time to access MEW can quickly make your wallet vulnerable. Better to log in with a hardware wallet or at least make use of Metamask.

There is huge uncertainty in the market at the moment. Most of the alts have hit a big time low and have shown some prospect of growth based on recent movement and divergence. However, for BTC which we know apparently controls the market movement, we can see how much $6500 is proving to be a very stubborn resistance and several attempts to try to break it.

For now, it is more like the bulls and the bears trying to have a combat and unless there is a clear signal of who is taking the lead, it is always best to take precautionary measures and try to stay clear until coast is clear, unless you want to take quick profits anyway in some quick fluctuations.

You are in the crypto world and you should know better that this is the volatile situation of the market and mostly for altcoins. The only thing going you should always keep in mind is that no matter what, the market will always recover and you would still be back hitting those huge profits eventually. Nevertheless, this is one of the reasons why traders tend to get the best from the market fluctuation without having to hold all through but I guess everyone cannot end up becoming a trader.

Have you considered if that is true you may actually be gaining more money in the long run when market recovers? Sure, a lot of traders believe we have not seen the bottom yet and the market still has the chance of going as low as $3k but who cares as this should be a chance for anyone who believe in this space and looking forward to more in the future, to accumulate. Opportunities like this only come once in a while, and you really do not want to miss out.

Market could go down lower, but right now and if I were you, I really would not care that much considering that the market has been pretty down and it is a good time for a good price if you are going to be a long time holder. ETH is trading below $300 and like I said, it could go lower, so in that case, it is better if you can just be picking it bit by bit rather than going all in at once. It is a really good bargain as far as I am concerned!
