I feel you but at the same time, it is normal to always take note that the market responds generally to bitcoin movement and kind of dependent on it except for just few of the altcoins. Basically, from all that we have always seen, we sure do know that once bitcoin ends up hitting some level of support to go lower, especially when it is a critical support, it will definitely affect most of the alts in a negative way as well.

Yes, mostly if we notice after a stable trading, market will show a strong bull rally. Bitcoin prices are facing a strong resistance at $10k levels. Once it gets broken we may see those strong bull rally.

For definitely. Looking at how the project has been fairing for a while now, there is really no doubt that it should have some pretty good growth over the years based on its usage which we are already beginning to see some good usage of it as some projects keep popping up like the ones the OP mentioned.

As time goes on, we will get to see a competition for ETH and that should mean a lot for the value of NEO in the long run.

Organization is still a good thing and that is something any investor will not have a choice to do. However, Lightening bitcoin is already being tried, so we cannot say yet that the expansion is still very far.

Plus, ICOs do have protection measures and that is by using your own brain pending when we will get to see regulations, which comes down to the last thing you said about regulation and that is one thing we will just have to give in to. At the same time, regulations may kill the progress of crypto for some times but later it will boos the faster boom of crypto world. But in long term, people again will find non-necessity of regulations to confirm decentralization.

Yes, the money you have to spread across board, how much you wish to invest per coin is some of the things that would give you the idea of what to do.

Everyone have their own way of doing things generally, and the ocean is so big that you will have a lot of good coins to pick from, but the thing here is that, no one knows the future and it is best to deal with what you can handle per coin and as long as you have done research to know the future potential of what you are holding, that is what is important mostly.

There is absolutely no possibility unless we just want to be deceiving ourselves. Take a look at how things have been in most countries as centralization has been the norm of the day and we want to assume bitcoin to take that space ? No way !
As eager as we are to see things get so sweet and lovely with bitcoin being used widely, there are just some things that are pretty not possible to see happen and this is definitely one of them unless we do not want to be realistic.

I like that ! One thing that makes a successful trader what he is, is the fact that they know how to utilize the market conditions to their favor based on how much they have learned and that is where I am getting at. Learning and consistent learning comes with dedication and those who think more like a business minded person like you said, will always see whatever they want to do as a business and try every means to be able to do it well. Being conscious and dedicated makes the differences between traders and gamblers.

No one can kill the crypto to make money bro, and the fact is there are some situations in the market that you just know out rightly that is uncalled for. FOMO is one of them! As long as nothing is driving the price for good, it would be stupid of one to think that if you decide not to take a step to be smart and wise, then the whales would not ?

This is the main reason why I always prefer steady growth in any market as it makes it pretty easy for sanity to reign but greedy FOMO fools will never allow that.

Very obvious you are gambling the market and trying to do the buy low and sell high kind of thing which must have put you in that position which obviously also shows that you do not have any serious strategy at hand to know how to go about your trading. You should have at least had a stop loss in play or just know what to look out for to know whether to be patient or not.

By the way, a lot of the altcoins are having a short correction, so you may just want to wait a little and probably you may end up breaking even or seeing your profit.

Yes, it is more like exact word and opposite. With a steady growth, we will always have a steady trend both ways which at least brings some level of sanity and maturity into the market which is not the same thing one can say for spikes.

Looking at all the spikes that has happened in almost every market, it has never ended well and that is one thing that can be pretty much annoying about it. Yeah, the quick gains and those who can easily sell off when it is becoming untrue will have all the profit, but at the same time, I feel it drags back a lot of things.

Apparently, you cannot be called a whale if you are not wealthy, because what you are doing normally is to use that wealth to amass more wealth by controlling the movement of the market at any point in time. Traders are more like subject to whales and every other smaller investor to their own fate based on how they perceive the future of the market.

Nevertheless, it is something that we cannot run away from in any market considering there would always be those who have a lot to drive the market they hold huge position in and that is what makes them the big fish and we the normal traders and smaller investors the mackerels.

Nobody can even say the peak about any coin and not just only bitcoin and one thing with volatility is that it can go both ways. Nevertheless, those who really understand this risk and the potential benefit will know to put what they cannot afford to lose, weigh the risk to profit ratio and invest based on that.

The thing here is that most people usually get greedy by trying to put much more than they can handle emotionally and when things go south, they start getting scared.

That was basically more or less result of a break out and probably some little bit of manipulation to the upside like you said, and all these is just to hit a specific target which we are still trying to decipher which is; $10k or $12k ?

That is simply not the issue here though, just like Franky mentioned, the idea is to always buy at the bottom and look forward to the best days ahead, but it just seems people will never get that. Bulls or no bulls, I personally prefer a steady growth in any market as it brings some level of sanity.

Yeah, slowly and gradually as that is all we are definitely going to be getting. I have never expected that we are just going to break all the resistances all of a sudden and then squash them out of the way without some little bit of retrace once in a while, but the thing about all these is that it is a very volatile market and direction is something no one can really predict even with the indicators except to just follow the trend and judge based on the sentiment in the market as well.

Any newbie that even wants to trade in this market should always be very careful and not trade what they cannot afford to lose and as well not trade without having knowledge about trading which is one of the things that should be taken into consideration first before even deciding to set out on any other thing.

It is important to keep oneself very attuned to the market to know all that is necessary and important due to its complexity and that is the only way one can ever get the best from it.

Obviously, for someone who is deciding to take a path, there should always be enough information to guide. It is not that hard anyway since all he would need is to define the service, sell his market to his targets, can even come up with some free stuffs for the mean time to advertise his works and if he is good, he will get to see so many people that would patronize him and by then it would make things easy with respect to collecting payments.

There is nothing ironic there as banning cryptocurrency advert basically for some reasons which they explained and was reasonable enough is totally different from going against the idea of the future of BTC.

Scammers have been making use of the advert space to influence people into buying into their shitcoin and they have some level of responsibility for their users. It is not like these social media platforms have banned crypto ad completely, as long as you can show you are legal, then you are good to go.

I am sure if we could all have a time machine to travel back, we would have been able to switch into those early days and load up as much as we can. I wish I could, but they are just wishes and we just have to live on with the situation on ground presently.

This is still a very good time to buy and those who understand the value bitcoin offers will be bullish on bitcoin in the long term, so if there is anything to look at now, is the future and as long as that is intact, the loading up time is now. But it will be really unfortunate, most people are ignoring the current half of the peak prices to load more bitcoin to their stash. Only those who are understanding how bitcoin price levels are working, are making use of the current best times.

One of the reasons why I do not like using my private key directly on MEW as this can easily be compromised and that warning when you are about to key in your private key alone is alarming. The thing is that this is something most people should have taken note by now and this is the reason I always prefer making use of metamask in doing transactions. I guess this is just some of the things we will keep seeing in this digital world.

Lol. Actually as funny as it sounds, it is just the truth. Money do not grow on trees and you have to work for it, and even though some may have gotten lucky by keeping some little money in bitcoin over the years and watch it increase, relying on just that alone could still have made them screwed.

However, investment is all that is going to make you wealthy and not keeping money in the bank. All investment comes with a risk or the other, and it is left for you to know the level of that risk and be able to minimize them. No risk no gain !!

Shit happens but we just have to get used to it, lol. Actually, we cannot expect the market to just start a rise all of a sudden as all these things will take some time and we will still get to see those huge greens eventually after some level of patience. I understand though that the market has been pretty boring which is understandable, but that is what happens after we have had some huge days of red and the market trying to find the next move.

End of downfall maybe marked along with new peak price level. But I believe most people here will be happy now itself also as bitcoin prices are nearing $10k levels which may be a start of rising and end of bloodbath. But we must wait till $20k to confirm the actual end of bloodbath.
