[10-13-2018] Is 2018 a waste if if bitcoin prices don’t recover?

[1BTC EQUALS 1CAR]

If bitcoin price don't recover then we just wait patiently. Those who feels 2018 is a waste is because they have massive losses and they want to recover that as sooner as possible. I think we should at least grateful that bitcoin had a great support at $6k value which means that it's next bull run would be higher than $20k.

always remember: you lost nothing until you cash out  

That isn't true. If bitcoin crashes to zero but you're still holding your coins would this still apply? If you invest money in something and it loses value then you've lost money, regardless of whether you sell the asset or not. Sure you can keep on holding it and hope you gain a return on investment evntually but doing so doesn't mean you've lost nothing until you do.

If world economy crashes to zero, we lose everything anyway. But will it? I'm concerned that bitcoin (same as any other currency, USD or EUR) is a bubble and it will definitely burst one day. But later on, it will go up again and it will be a pleasant and steady way up. Same as oil did. There's actually the opinion that I personally love and support by Jeremy Oles. BTC can go down to $2-3k so the "big fish" can buy it really cheap and kick out enthusiasts out of the market. So, big money can enter the market at a good price. Only after that, bitcoin will be steadily pushed up.

Just because this year bitcoin price is not at the all-time high, doesn't mean it doesn't worth to invest. Just HODL and try invest in other coins too. The market is just volatile and the spikes that we had last year were honestly unnatural.

always remember: you lost nothing until you cash out 

If you can take all the drops then you are doing fine. Also if this isn't your first time to experience drops then you're still good. To the early holders this drop means nothing and its fine whether it recovers or not.

The most concerned people are those who bought at the highest price then the price suddenly drops.

Difference between these people when it comes to their situation experience ones compared to newer people. Holding while you purchased on top prices wont really be that easy..
I know the feeling when you are in between of stressing times and quiet irritated on how the market moves but there would always be a possibility of recovery.No one knows
on when but surely that time will come.This time it do took so long to stay down into these very bearish market.

Recovery is there but its still a mystery when it will be seen.

The feeling is extreme for those beginners that can't bear this situation but while looking at the better side, this is giving them a reason and a lesson while being here.

However, last year’s all time high of near $20,000 is appearing to be more and more of a longshot as we enter the final quarter of the year...

this reminds me of the news I read yesterday, I'm talking about this news:

Tom Lee, Speaker at the Upcoming Blockshow Asia: ‘Bitcoin is Preparing to Break out’

One of the most anticipated speakers, Mr. Thomas Lee, is a Fundstrat Global Advisors co-founder and a Wall Street analyst with over 25 years of equity research experience.

 

We can not say this: " Is 2018 a waste if if bitcoin prices don’t recover? "

October last year we had the price of $5700 and even so we reached $20,000 in December last year, it seems people are forgetting that. I often say and it will be difficult to reach the price of $10,000 this year, but that's not impossible.

Every one things that every year they want the bitcoin and other coins to touch ATH but they should understand that if everyone is waiting for high price to sell then who is going to buy in this low price market. Big players wont buy and increase the price so that small traders will sell off to them and reenter in low. So this is just the patience testing time. You can see that bitcoin price is not breaking below $6000 and now it is just accumulating it. So i dont think that this year was waste.
