Bitcoin Winter: Can We Prevent it From Happening Again?

[ralle14]

The way the price changes everyday from several exchanges it can't be stopped there's no solution or ways to avoid such thing.

If the bull run goes on until the last quarter it's likely we'll encounter the same crash once again but it's only the 2nd quarter of the year. There's a lot of time for the price to possibly go down and maybe change the expectation of many speculators.

After a couple of more 'iterations' there's a chance the volume of speculation and FOMO will decrease and the fluctuations will also become really small. Maybe like the fluctuations on Forex or Stocks. Then we may have no more crypto winter (or not this bad) but also no 'summer' either.

I am wondering, do you think the same bitcoin winter can occur after the bull run? And can there be things that can prevent it from happening? Will history just repeat itself?

I think that it depends on the price dynamics. Bitcoin had been moving up way too fast. Such a bull run will probably be followed by another bear market. There is not much we can do as individuals, but if people stopped buying Bitcoin so fast and stopped being so hyped about bull runs in general, it could help. The price has to stabilise, to become largely accepted. Then it can move forward safely. Otherwise a small piece of mixed news can cause panic selling, and recovery might take a long time.

It for sure winter will come soon after the bull run, that is usually happen next to pumps. Even though we don't want it but that is the reality in crypto and we can't stop it as it will come anytime soon. That is why we should prepare for it and so there is no worries once it will show up.

We have in good market rally today but who knows there is a huge fall in the part of this year same thing it happen after 2017 great days.

Nah, as the JetCash said, it's only natural..let the strong live and "the bad" seed die. If you work out during the "winter", surely you can stomach just another one-day bad weather.

And it's can happen I think, just major FUD where bitcoin got banned by multiple regions, exchange cold wallet got hacked..no not on binance the last hack, talking about 500k++ like MT.GOX.

This is not a traditional investment asset. It's very volatile so there will be cycles in return. So I wouldn't be surprised if there are years wherein the bear really took over the market, investors get out of it and then come back when everything is ripe to make some profits.

It is what it is and although the market is still very young, it has already taught us valuable lessons in return.

That could possible, but it's better to wait for the time to answer. I think the history will repeat again and if that is true, then we might see there a bull run that will come. We cannot prevent if bitcoin winter comes again and we could only follow day by day until the bull will come again. I am sure that in the trend will change and we could make a big profit like before. No need to worry because nothing to stay forever.

Bitcoin winter had two reasons in my opinion. First of all, it is market cycle, you can't prevent that. But the second reason is why it happened that deeply and long. The greed! Lots and lots of people bought shitcoins, investing into shitty projects, tokens pumped without any reason. And that greed poisoned the market. It make the fall deeper and longer.

So if we start to act wisely and don't become too greedy, the next market cycle won't be that bad.

No one is in control of bitcoin including the market cycle so it is impossible to prevent bitcoin winter or crypto winter. But just like the real winter, it will not stay long and spring will replace it so after gooing down, bitcoin has no other way but up. The investors, holders and developments in the cryptocurrency world affect the overall prices of bitcoin.

The best way to "manage" a problem like this is to grow adoption in a natural way and not just by adding loads of speculators and profit hunters, when the Bullrun is in full swing. The large influx of "get rich quick" speculators are causing most of these problems, because they are driving up the price to ridiculously high prices and with the slightest sign of problems, they dump their coins back on the market.  

So it is simple, stop the speculation and hype and grow Bitcoin adoption with people who understand the technology and wants to invest in the technology.

With huge price rises comes price consolidation, which is pretty much inevitable regardless of what kind of markets. So, yes.

And can there be things that can prevent it from happening? Will history just repeat itself?

Nothing. Unless for some reason you could convince everyone to not sell after a huge bull market trend.

Of course it is impossible to stop and convince millions of investors to not sell. they come and invest to see prices rise high, and when that happens they will sell it to make a profit. we won't be able to avoid that, that's how the market works. it can't be bullish forever? corrections will definitely occur, and mass sell will definitely happen, because many people want to make a profit for themselves
