Main reason behind crypto currencies red market in 2018

[pinkflower]

2018 has so far seen the highest funds jointly raised through ICOs.
This has a minimal effect on bitcoins value, a lot of other factors also have effects in the price.
There has been very little real possitive news for the most of 2018.

Is it? I thought 2017 was the highest amount of raised funds through ICOs that may never be repeated again because most ICO developers have already scammed millions of $ from the community. The community is wiser now but also out of BTC and $ to burn lol.

I wouldn't be surprised in 2018 is the year when ICO raised a lot of money. I think there's ICO born every minute so its possible that they attracted more investors. The problem is scammed ICO ares still present and I assume that its one reason why the market is also down, investors doesn't have the full confidence and they are getting intelligent and smarter today as compare to last year.

I would be surprised, if you ask me. Its now a bear market, everyone is dumping their tokens with losses and many people in the community who are left holding are already scammed. Theres no more money coming in anymore lol.

First of all, I am certain this has not been the worst year for Bitcoin prices. I believe 2011 was worse. But most likely, many people on this platform were not dealing in Bitcoins in 2011. Now let's talk about the reason for price drops. I think I disagree with you here too. Placing the reason behind a bad year for Bitcoins on the large number of ICOs is rather inaccurate economics. It is clear that there were a number of peculiar factors that came into play this year. I think lazy investors too are contributing to this issue. If everyone does proper research before investment, the market will actually flourish more.

Not true. Those money that were poured in crypto last year will be poured again at the right time, it all just need a push are they are all going to come running after the price. A seasoned trader will even chase a trade knowing the price doesn't indicate overbought. Once a person realized how much he gained after dumping last year, he will soon be back wanting for more.

The decline of the entire cryptocurrency market is due to the sell-offs to take profit and cut losses of many investors making the whole market plummet since early 2018. I believe this market will not stop here. And the opportunity for investors is still very much. The market will grow strongly by the end of this year and beginning of 2019.

Current year has been bit worst for crypto coins. Apart from values, we have ICOs in the market with best projects. So what happened is the investment spill over too many ICOs and thus bitcoin value remained below $6.5K . This is another reason for all altcoins values remain under a threshold. Hope we have more investors pitch in investing into bitcoin.

This year Bitcoin experienced the lowest decline, lower in February, probably influenced by the rules born for Bitcoin or the crypto hacking bithumb effect last June 2018 and raises concerns for investors, but Bitcoin is currently trying to hold back the decline with many Announcement of new infrastructure, various investment opportunities and trading platforms, new applications and new innovations, because we hope and remain confident that bitcoin will recover, stabilize and experience a rising trend.

It may start a new trend but I still feel it is too early to start expecting that. The fact that we are in a downtrend, does not mean it should start raising concerns for investors.

Investors are simply supposed to be investing in the long term if I am correct, and that makes me imagine how some people tend to put that long term in place when they are really looking at is the short term. The red market was imminent after the huge growth in most of the markets, but as it is, I want to believe we may be getting close to the end of it.

[locsta123]

Well I believe there to be many factors but I think the MAIN reason was it went up really high really fast it had to come down I knew it was gonna crash just didn't know when everytime it crashed before that I panicked and sold then bought bak in bc it kept going up then when it finally crashed for real I kept calm and was waiting for it to raise SMH lol. Also I went in thinking it was a long term investment not thinking I would see those gains in that short of a timeframe....

But I do think we will see green again in the future maybe an 9-18 month bear market (were 6 month right now). Just my opinion

It doesnt mean that you are completely right. The investors wont pour money on ICOs this year especially in the middle of a bear market. But investors poured more money than they can afford in ICOs on 2017 in the middle of the bull market.

Which year has more money invested in ICOs? This year or last year?

[honghe99]

I heard that the recent market decline was caused by the ICO project cashout, and because investors are afraid of fraud, they choose to give up investing in ICO, and the price of ETH will also decrease!

[Bitcotalk]

Most ICO nowadays are getting worst they are also the cause why all investors of crypto dump their precious coins just to invest with incoming tokens.  However, i can not also say that it is all the cause, maybe this is just a correction of last year unstoppable peaking of price.  Almost 20k and afterwards price decreases.

It is very normal to see ICOs get worst when we tend to have a bear market and for what it is worth and for those who are smart enough, they should have been able to see it as a moment to be getting some good price in the ICOs of their choice.

I have been able to personally pick some tokens and coins due to the market trend for a while and got the chance of buying them way below their ICO prices which to me seems like a pretty good bargain.

[doanlang]

The ICO only had a small impact, but the increased selling pressure obviously affected prices, and the initial holders were quick to sell new assets that were the main reason Bitcoin was down.

2018 has not yet ended though, but the number of ICOs that popped out successfully this year was really huge and I can really say it might be the year that brought about some difference for ICOs.

Last year was really more of a joke with huge number of scams and projects that ended up the drain eventually, but this time around, with investors getting wiser each and every day and new ones knowing what they should be doing before investing in ICOs, we have seen solid new projects hitting their soft caps at least.

Red market we see because of the number of volume going down in the market and other side I do not why the people not believing the cryptocurrencies and let the cryptocurrencies goes to cheap value in the market.

Then I do not know reason actually on this dump but other side yesterday cryptoucurrency volume seems increased little. If the people does not trust this will not be seen increased so I believe whales are playing in the crypto market.

Many reasons behind crypto red market and it includes; First, the market manipulations. Whales can manipulate price. Orchestrating large sums of digital coins, whales create necessary conditions to buy crypto at a low price or sell at a high. Second is the regulation, government does not recognize cryptocurrencies as legal tender and will take all measures to eliminate the use of these cryptoassets in financing illegitimate activities or as part of the payments system. and etc.,

Yes, the lack of interest in Bitcoin keeps prices from rising again, with so many ICOs making huge funds divided into bad markets some altcoins are just rubbish where lots of waste and investing in coins are wrong, ICOs are very wasteful of money and meaningless, fraud where fear for all investors with the free market there is no law for the emergence of new ICOs every day, I hope people realize that the top coin is a good investment and cuts fraud.

In between couple of big countries had banned it or gave a negative news due to which market was dumped badly and thus it was never able to recover from that during this year. It has being a more of a negative news coming form countries else we could have seen it 20k+ anytime during the year by now.

I think the main reason for the market being red in 2018 is because there is a big dump or a big correction after the very high increase in 2017, so far I can still feel the value of crypto in the market can still be normal because it can last above $5k. So I personally don't feel worried about this situation. In addition, all ICO projects are also experiencing a difficult period because many negative issues are circulating.

Big dumps and there's no assurance that the market will bounce back are some of the reason why we haven't recovered and still in the bear reason. The market is really unpredictable, if you thought that it will recover, some retracement follows. Bad ICO is also a contributory factors, which so many scams going, investors are reluctant to pour their cash again. And noobs who got burned, doesn't want to go back in fear of losing more money.

I think it was a general correction, although some money went into ICOs but not really much to have dragged the price down to the 6,500 $ level.ICO scams weakened investors trust anyway,so it is still a factor

Okay but lets compare how much money was "poured" in ICOs in 2018 so far. What were the ICOs that got the largest amount of funding and compare that to the ICOs that got the largest amount of funding from 2017.

With that said, there may be more scams this year than 2017.

[Sadlife]

Another thing to add is regulations from countries that's been putting crypto currency in a tight spot also ICO being banned made a negative impact on crypto currency and made it people untrustworthy of investing into digital currency. And not just that there are also some major hacks occurred this year in many exchanges.
