Its seems to me, that the market is volatile because of the different types of investors. You have the investor who wants to make a quick
3 - 10X flip and the investor who is holding long term because they believe in the project / product. Yes i know there are many different strategies in between, but there is a clear divide for sure. A bit like good vs bad. Which is which? One side of the coin you have whale manipulation, trading bots and ruthless take take take attitude and on the other you have holders, believers, people who want crypto to succeed because they believe in the technology.
Say for example a coin is $0.10 at ICO, $0.50 when it hits its first exchange, $1 when it hits a big exchange and reaches $3 due to hype...within 3 months and then crashes all the way down back to $0.20..who is the real winner? What are we trying to achieve? Because this seems to be a common trend at the moment. I'm not saying its bad, but it sure aint good. These companies are trying to make a difference and their success / failure could be determined by investors no matter what they have to offer.
Am i making any sense?
I think that the most winning option in the given situation is precisely from the traders how they can sell the coin in time, when they have the maximum price, and switch to another asset
