WILL BITCOIN PROVIDE SOLUTIONS THIS Time?

[arpon11]

Stock-market slump is gathered momentum as panic selling takes hold on Nyse today. From the report online dow has loss more than 500point this day and nasdaq around 310 points. It is clear that another financial crisis is about to commence and I think bitcoin remains calm is a sign of confidence and strength. Investors may become aware of this and there maybe a flipping from stock - market to cryptocurrencies market in days to come. What did you think as bitcoin seems to remain the major viable alternatives.

The Dow and NASDAQ losing those points doesn't necessarily mean that a financial crisis is about to ensue as we're still up in the game ever since Trump's administration started. While the signs aren't hinting towards an immediate materialization of the financial crisis, it doesn't mean that we're not going to see it on our own eyes. Personally, I'd like to stash my savings in crypto and gold as early as possible, while the prices are low and while the market is stagnant. People will look for alternatives while the stock and derivatives market are crumbling, and crypto would be their best bet.

I don't think the stability in Bitcoin's market is a sign of confidence, but more so a sign of complete neutrality. Bulls don't have much to be bullish about, bears have not much left to be bearish about with how strongly supported the base bottom is. In other words, it currently makes perfect sense for the price to remain stable.

As it is right now the stock market might seem to be in an early state of correcting, but the danger here is that right now the general public is expecting it to tank further, and this is usually a bullish signal for smart money to buy the dip. I'm 50/50 on the stock market correction. It wouldn't surprise me if it does end up tanking further, but it doesn't surprise me either if it reaches a new all time high in the next 6 or so months. I'm not going to burn myself on that.

Let us just remember that the cryptocurrency market is the one who have stumbled first from the other Markets in the world. We are currently down -67% from our all time high compared to NASDAQ's and DOW's YTD which is +6.08% and +1.04% respectively. Even if their market is falling down now we are the ones who already reached our bottom and thinking that investors will jump ship in order to place their money in our market, think again as this investors won't enter a market where they don't know the bear market will end.

An full scale economic crises will see investors looking for alternatives to invest in. Whether the crypto market will be an option still leaves a lot to be desired considering the fact that the scarcely regulated.

To echo what was once supposed to be a bad joke: "Big slides in market valuation don't necessarily mean another financial crisis is imminent. It simply means we have significantly more sellers than buyers!"

On a more serious note, the latest crash may have been triggered by poor earnings reports by banks with trillions of dollars worth in outstanding derivatives. Banks may be considered pillars of the global economy. When concerns of instability or insolvency are manifested a sell off spurred on by kneejerk reactionaryism can occur. I think such represents the motive behind that 500 point losing trend(which appears to have reversed itself the following day btw).

I think as long as banks maintain liquidity and appear to have a credible plan for the forseeable future we can avoid a crash. But if the day arrives that banks look like they're in trouble, I think everyone knows banks woud drag markets and the global economy down with them and it would be bad. Perhaps worse than 2008, in that nations would have a more difficult time bailing them out or attempting to print their way out of liabilities.

Many appear to be avoiding bitcoin as they have no idea what to do with it if they owned any. I think bitcoin needs a famous youtuber or someone who bought a lot of bitcoin when it was cheap and profited massively from HODL to go public and share their success story. That appears to be what bitcoin is lacking. End user content distributed en masse which helps to bring bitcoin into the public consciousness where it can thrive.

We can not definitely call it as viable alternative for the investment because there are lot more things to come up front. For example, investors interest towards it is dropping due to its down fall of 2018 and most of them even left the bitcoin whenever they gotten the chance. Look around you, we are standing nearly to the end of 2018 and there is no as such good news in the market yet, neither major advancement of the bitcoin network itself. All things are like paused at one place and no momentum is being created for the investments. I guess this could take long before it can get started with.

Well, that may actually happen in time come but my major concerned is about the investor as to whether they still believe in crypto currency.  I see this period of time as the best time for people to invest in Bitcoin and crypto currency in general but what usually happen is that people are more interested in investing their money during price increase which I don't believe is rational at such point.

of course it might happen in the future, investors could leave the stock and move to the cryptocurrency to participate in the investment, and yes I also think that way, bitcoin and other crypto still deserve to be the main alternative.

Crisis is a part of the economy which can create new opporunities for other potential alternative investments. Stock market crash can be a good news for crypto market. As there will be new potential investors being attracted to crypto.

The more time passes, the more i think that bitcoin is no longer valued as a currency , but just as a store of value like gold. People want to have it only to hold it and not to use it.
Many people just think about the fiat value of bitcoin and because the truth is bitcoin is still not accepted as a payment option in many places and areas.

Stockmarket is centralised system while the crypto market is a decentralised one. So, it is inlikely that the fall in stock market will affect the crypto market in any sesnse. However, the panic may cause a disturbance in the crypto market. But, the crypto market is dow, and so, the disturbance will not be that much high.

It is not up to Bitcoin to find some solutions, it is up to us to do that and find our ways do fix anything about it. In the future Bitcoin will be used in any way that we do.

[CryptoAssasin]

This might be a sign of the next big wave for cryptocurrency. There is a possibility that those whales form stock market is now selling their holdings from stock market to be converted to bitcoin. The questions are, will they conquer crypto market for price pump manipulation or for a change and make a concert for massive adoption? This might look interesting but will also pretty alarming.

[NoeSanchez]

As the stock market and crypto market don't have any direct correlation with eachother it is safe to assume it won't effect it. The crypto market shows signs of neutrality and thus rely on several underlying factors for the change in the market when regarding crypto. Probably with time we'll be able to see what the crypto market can offer the economy at its more mature state in terms of stability and reliablity. Things we can hope for in the future.

Saying a financial crisis is about to begin just because the stock market plunged isn't much different from saying Bitcoin is dead because prices dropped. They're both jumping the gun with one metric when fucktons more are available for consideration.

Bitcoin truly is a viable option, but the fact that we haven't seen any notable movements yet probably means Bitcoin is pretty low on traditional investors' alternative list. I'm sure those who did diversify their portfolio to include Bitcoin must be pretty satisfied though.

I agree. The threats can really be an opportunity in which you can grab this to mke things in favor of you. This might not be a good thing at first but if you were amart enough then do things. Also markets are risky, economy is unstable we cannot really say what will going to happen, just continue believing.

Still the crypto currencies are not renowned which is enough to be an alternative investment for the stocks so this time of the stock market crisis happened we may not see big changes in the prices but normally whenever the stock market falls the crypto prices also fall because of the fact that people using them as sign of investment.

A shake up in stock market may favour crypto market, but remember people's hard earned money are in stocks and no one would pray for a fall in whatever he/she invest in just to favour another market. Both market can co-exist and compliment each other. Please stop insinuating a collapse of stock just to favour crypto market. This space is wide enough to accommodate everyone.
