How/Why to Buy Bitcoin in 2019

[ly0yl]

Hi all,

As you all know, the 2018 was one of the best/worst years of Bitcoin and Altcoins. As a result of that, we have find out that there are hundred thousands of people who has lost a lot of their funds by trading. Therefore, we as a consultancy company prepared a detailed analysis based on the most common trading failures during the 2018. During this post you will find the summary of analysis that aim to give an idea about how to trade in the 2019 if you are still interested in trading for future. The purpose of sharing the analysis is to prevent the same mistake occurs.

Premise: We assume that you have been experiencing in a good way if you didn't invested all of your money at the ATH. The most important part is to prevent to have the same mistakes in the upcoming year/s.
These are several reasons for losing the money.

1) There is only 1% of taking profit from Pump Groups; You may only be successful in few times by attending the Pump Groups but you will lose most of your funds later on. (internal monolgue: I was almost rich, so I should have the risk few more times...)
Comments: I am sorry, but you can't. Pump is the regret.

2) FOMO is another regret.
Yep, you are right. Another crucial problem with trader is that they do never pay attention what percentage a coin has increased and they just tried to get in to get some profit. However, the people who bought quiet cheaper, start to sell and they dumped on new comers
And of course most of the traders do not pay attention about the possible reasons for the increase and they just buy as a result of FOMO. And in most cases they don't have ay information about the project. They buy, because some others did.
Result: Wait for month.

3) Investing in Shitcoins.
It doesn't mean that you are going to be rich if a project offer you ERC-20 or ERC-721 tokens or any other platform based tokens. More technical information is needed.

4) X number of investors.
Ok, it's obvious that most of the investors invest on any kind of projects by checking the numbers of investors and if there is a crowd they just send whatever they have. They started to share The project SikCoin has X number of investors, therefore these people can't be wrong and that's why they should invest in.
Result: Regret.
Because it's not difficult to fake the numbers.

5) ATH in not appropriate to buy an asset.
Some of the investors, decide to invest so by considering the last several days which an coin had an sigificant increase. Therefore, they believe that the coin is going to rocketing. Why? Because they have bought it.
Wrong. They will again dumped the coin that bought before couple of days from you to buy and of course cheaper.
Result: Regret and waiting for couple of months.

6) Lack of Research before investment
Most of the traders do not research before investment, they do resarch a bit after investing and try to figure out what's going to happen if there is any price dump on the market. If you don't make your own research appropriately, then most likely ou are going to lose your funds.

7) Lack of Vision.
If you are not well-informed about coin that you have invested, you're likely to sell before increase in price or sell after dump. We have seen people arguing as waiting for x100 to sell a scam coin. In this case there is no any way for trader to sell at x100, By waiting even the investor miss some chances of selling x2 at any time. MAKE A PLAN!

8 ) Following the FUD.
As a result of lack of research, investors are selling their coins after some manipulative news that can be called as FUD. Then, the investor figures out that it was FUD/manipulative news but it's a bit late; investors already sold out with quiet cheaper thatn few hours after dump.

9) Following Influencers and copying their investments/shared coins.
Of course, it is vital to follow significant influencers who are wised or well-informed. It helps, indeed. However, it doesn't mean that people should copy whatever has been shared to their portfolio in manner of seconds. In these kind of scenarios most of the people are going to lose their funds as a result of lack of research and experience.

10) Team's nationality/citizenship;
Do not invest in any project by only paying attention to the team' nationality or their citizenship of X country. Being a citizen of any country do not legitimize what will happen in close future about price and value of the coin/token.

These are mainly what I have realised and wanted to share with you all; and would like to hear if I have missed any significant other possible reson/experince, feel free to add more.

I will not just make it simple, I will not be buying bitcoins anymore in 2019 because I have been accumulating this year.
2018 is a year for major correction and we have seen it happening, but 2019 is gonna be a road to recovery, bull run will come and new ATH will cause FOMO.

✨2019✨

You have good explanation but I'm afraid to early and too easy because 2019 is still dark form me. Depend my analysis bitcoin will go up at middle of 2019 but the price can't high like 2017. This is become problems because many investor at 2019 still wait and see not take action to buy or recovery asset. Even still dark bitcoin have hope to rise again, trust me.

✨2019✨

You should always try to accumulate crypto since the prices are becoming cheap enough for us to gain a lot in the coming next bull run. You should buy at any price with any little amount you can.

[crairezx20]

I don't think is it good to buy bitcoin this coming 2019 but since you give some tips it might be worth it to buy bitcoin this coming 2019.
Honestly, I just following the movement price last 2014 and 2015 so, 3rd quarter of 2019 I'm sure that bitcoin price will rise up again just like what happened last 2015 and I think more event will come this coming a year.

[emililadjet]

Watch out for the dump of bitcoin because it's a pump for no reason. Last year it was over-media that triggered a long bullrun madness. For now it looks like whaling attempts.
What do you think about it?

[Yaunfitda]

I will not just make it simple, I will not be buying bitcoins anymore in 2019 because I have been accumulating this year.
2018 is a year for major correction and we have seen it happening, but 2019 is gonna be a road to recovery, bull run will come and new ATH will cause FOMO.

You mean to say 2018 is the period of accumulation and then 2019 is getting the profits just for holding our coins, yes it makes sense in a long term holder perspective. But as you can see, majority didn't have that kind of mindset, they just continue to short bitcoin even today but for smart investors, going long in the best strategy out there.

2014/15 crash took about less than 1 year of decline in BTC price before the recovery started. I believe if BTC were to reach new lows now that we would actually be in a bearish market for longer than that time.

2014/15 crash and today crash are different, back then there were only a handful people involved while right now almost everybody knows about it and some countries were starting to accept it. And IF we are going to create a new low in the future, I am afraid there will be no more new ATH in the future because of its volatility.
let's talk about Japan, for example. They were regulating their exchange and basically, they were supporting Bitcoin on that country. And when the price goes this lower, do you think only a handful people that lose their money? no, it's a lot.
and of course, they will suffer a set back(mentality and financially) if the price keeps moving down and creating its new low in the future. I am afraid, nothing good will happen.

[leavolnhals]

I think investing in 2019 will be a wise decision. Because then, we will know that the market can last long. If the bitcoin rises above $ 4k5, that is a sign that our market will remain long.
We should wait for a good signal from bitcoin so that no regrets when investing now. That's a safe plan.

[hermankoles]

Bitcoin price trends continue to decline from the beginning of 2018 until now and this is some people compare with 2014 events and if this is appropriate then 2019 bitcoin and crypto will provide a trend of increasing prices and this is good news for holders of bitcoin and crypto

[magisterr]

I think better to buy Bitcoin and other proising coins now (in this year), until its very cheap. Because in next year price will started to grow again and it may be too late for buy....

✨2019✨

You have good explanation but I'm afraid to early and too easy because 2019 is still dark form me. Depend my analysis bitcoin will go up at middle of 2019 but the price can't high like 2017. This is become problems because many investor at 2019 still wait and see not take action to buy or recovery asset. Even still dark bitcoin have hope to rise again, trust me.

I am not on the same side by arguing at the middle of 2019. I think if we have bull run, then it has to be about January or something like that. If we don't have a significant increase during the first quarter of 2019, then we may expect it to be more stabil for a while.
Let's hope for January/February.

[Marcsymon]

2019 will be the great year for Bitcoin as crypto users are already waited long enough for this bearish market to end therefore don't wait for more dip to come as the crypto users are already used to this current price as the cheapest value ever to buy Bitcoin for the next year.

[wuvdoll]

I will not just make it simple, I will not be buying bitcoins anymore in 2019 because I have been accumulating this year.
2018 is a year for major correction and we have seen it happening, but 2019 is gonna be a road to recovery, bull run will come and new ATH will cause FOMO.

What about if you find some more affordable money and bitcoin will be about to make a new AATH in 2019 ? I like to suggest you to keep buying in 2019 even had collected more in 2018. Keep buying bitcoin must be good idea to ensure multiplying your excess money in most assured way. I am expecting bitcoin to have at least $20k levels in 2019. Simply, 2019 will be a replica of 2017.

Depend my analysis bitcoin will go up at middle of 2019 but the price can't high like 2017. This is become problems because many investor at 2019 still wait and see not take action to buy or recovery asset. Even still dark bitcoin have hope to rise again, trust me.

Many people are calling the current rally from $3200 levels as a bull trap but I am seeing it as the beginning of next wave. If my prediction is true then we do not need to wait till mid of 2019. We may need to start investing from January 2019 itself. Bottom already had hit and it is time to start making use of these cheaper levels.

[davis196]

OP,how can you prove that only 1% make money out of pump groups?From where did you get that number?
I kinda agree with most of the stuff you mentioned in the list,but the pump groups are a myth.
It's sad that,the crypto whales always win,even if the prices are going down.The small traders that lack experience and knowledge will lose 99% of the time.

[ausbit]

You do not buy bitcoin because you see its time to buy on a pump or a signal group, you are not interested in because you want to get rich quick, you do not attempt to research these things because you do not want to be scammed, none of them are true motives.

You buy bitcoin because you believe its a good long term investment, you are interested because you believe in the project, you research these things because you want to be more knowledgeable on this subject.

Basically if you have the right motives to be here there is no way you can lose in 2019, if you have wrong motives to be here than all you will have is some digital assett that you hope will eventually give you some profit and a mundane investment like getting some stocks. Go beyond that and grap whats yours and you will be enlightened.

[b3j0]

2019 will be the great year for Bitcoin as crypto users are already waited long enough for this bearish market to end therefore don't wait for more dip to come as the crypto users are already used to this current price as the cheapest value ever to buy Bitcoin for the next year.

there is no guarantee that the bear market will end in 2019 and the price of bitcoin will recover, although many say that but in my opinion bitcoin takes longer to recover.

[dewildance]

In my opinion, Bitcoin will not show any price rise until the end of 2019. At the end of 2019, we can slowly see a rise and then we can say "moon".

[cindygirl]

Yes they're different but they're not worlds apart. The actual event that caused the crash in 2014 was far more cataclysmic than this bubble bursting but the market still recovered from there. While you're right that adoption is much higher this time around, as is awareness, it's still a long-shot from its true potential. For every 1 person that got burned this time around there will be another 10 or more looking to invest in the next bull run. Long term bitcoin cannot sustain such harsh highs and lows but it will survive this one.

[coneing]

I will not just make it simple, I will not be buying bitcoins anymore in 2019 because I have been accumulating this year.
2018 is a year for major correction and we have seen it happening, but 2019 is gonna be a road to recovery, bull run will come and new ATH will cause FOMO.

And those who will invest in the FOMO would probably make big money and those who are already holding from now would be the game changers. It is either for the ideology or for the monetary benefits.

[ly0yl]

OP,how can you prove that only 1% make money out of pump groups?From where did you get that number?
I kinda agree with most of the stuff you mentioned in the list,but the pump groups are a myth.
It's sad that,the crypto whales always win,even if the prices are going down.The small traders that lack experience and knowledge will lose 99% of the time.

The 1% that makes money can be called for the pump group moderators; the others can only get benefit by mistakenly or fast trading while they may still have potential of losing the funds by the rest pumps since they are going to like to earn quicker. But as I mentioned, pump groups are for the moderatorsi not for ordinary traders.
One more detail; some of the whales pay to the moderators to decide on their coins.

[malphite534]

This year should I think is the best year for me to start in holding of bitcoin and other altcoins that may can pump on their price.

[South Park]

In my opinion, Bitcoin will not show any price rise until the end of 2019. At the end of 2019, we can slowly see a rise and then we can say "moon".

While I have always found interesting all of those threads which try to predict what the price of bitcoin is going to be at a particular point in time or when it is going to begin to grow again, if you are a long term holder does it really matter when the price of bitcoin begins to grow? You're going to be holding anyway and whatever growth bitcoin experiments is the same growth that you will get, so in my opinion it is better to concentrate ourselves on how to keep holding our coins than to predict accurately when the recovery will happen.

People here have turned being a hodler into a meme sort of thing. Everyone can hodl through an increase when prices keep going up, everyone is an expert when prices keep going up, but once the market is done pumping, it's over for the far majority of the people.

People don't know what it is to buy something based on fundamentals. The only reason they buy crypto is because it's either going up, or they believe it will do so, but have not one single clue about what that increase might be based on. We are dealing with gamblers here, and it will only get worse as more of these find their way to the crypto market.

The very fact that some shitcoins are worth billions in market cap is an indication of how stupid the general "investor" or "hodler" here is.

[South Park]

if you are a long term holder does it really matter when the price of bitcoin begins to grow? You're going to be holding anyway and whatever growth bitcoin experiments is the same growth that you will get, so in my opinion it is better to concentrate ourselves on how to keep holding our coins than to predict accurately when the recovery will happen.

People here have turned being a hodler into a meme sort of thing. Everyone can hodl through an increase when prices keep going up, everyone is an expert when prices keep going up, but once the market is done pumping, it's over for the far majority of the people.

People don't know what it is to buy something based on fundamentals.

The percentage of investors holding their coins for the long term is probably going down as bitcoin becomes more popular and more people get in the market trying to get profits, and while as you say that process is inevitable at the same time it makes harder for those new to the market to find the correct answer to the question of how to get the most benefit out of their investment in bitcoin, because if everyone they see and know is speculating with the price they may feel that is the only way to get profits.

[Febo]

I don't think is it good to buy bitcoin this coming 2019 but since you give some tips it might be worth it to buy bitcoin this coming 2019.
Honestly, I just following the movement price last 2014 and 2015 so, 3rd quarter of 2019 I'm sure that bitcoin price will rise up again just like what happened last 2015 and I think more event will come this coming a year.

2014/15 crash took about less than 1 year of decline in BTC price before the recovery started. I believe if BTC were to reach new lows now that we would actually be in a bearish market for longer than that time.

It actually took 13 months. And after that was more then half year of sideways from February to October. Only in October 2015 slow growth started.

[Slow death]

[...]

I believe that even these guys who consider themselves experts have had many losses because not even they do not have crystal ball to predict the price with 100% certainty.

so in my opinion it is better to concentrate ourselves on how to keep holding our coins than to predict accurately when the recovery will happen.

But one day you can wake up and see that your investment has suffered a 90% loss, the reason why people are paying attention every day at the price is because they are afraid of having many losses. cryptos are still very volatile

[Oceat]

I will not just make it simple, I will not be buying bitcoins anymore in 2019 because I have been accumulating this year.
2018 is a year for major correction and we have seen it happening, but 2019 is gonna be a road to recovery, bull run will come and new ATH will cause FOMO.

Well, the market hasn't started the bull yet, i think it is still better to accumulate now since there is no sign of bull run yet. We will know when will the bull run to starts if we see some changes in the market. Though we can't be really sure if it is a bull run or a bull trap, some whales are trying to do this since the very start.

[Ararbermas]

In my opinion investing on this year will be a great idea because for sure market will make a bounce because long bear season will end very soon. and in my view this is definitely the right time to regain our losses as well or to multiply our profits. But avoid being greedy and hasty which is be patient instead.  

[goaldigger]

The only reason why we should buy bitcoin for this year 2019 is because BTCs price drops down to its limit and it will turn out great after. We are looking forward for the green market maybe in the middle of the year, but im sure it will happen this year. If you would buy now, you will sure be thankful after.

[UmerIdrees]

2018 is a year for major correction and we have seen it happening, but 2019 is gonna be a road to recovery, bull run will come and new ATH will cause FOMO.

And those who will invest in the FOMO would probably make big money and those who are already holding from now would be the game changers. It is either for the ideology or for the monetary benefits.

If you are an experienced trader, you should know that buy in fomo is always not a good idea. Many people who bought in fomo in December 2017, are still stuck or cashed out in a loss. It never a wise descion to buy in fomo as the price is already very high at that time and there are 80% chance that the price will fall once you buy at such a high price.

[beerlover]

I think for people who bought and accumulated like OP it wouldn't be insane to not buy bitcoin anymore. However, it all kind of depends on your purchasing average. If you have an average lower than 5 thousand dollars than you can just stop and wait for it to go up (you can still buy more to drop the averages lower and make more profit later on) however if your average is anything over 5 thousand dollars and you have enough money to reinvest, I would still suggest buying more with each paycheck. Nothing huge but keeping a 5% part of your paycheck for buying more bitcoins wouldn't be crazy.

It all depends on your averages, I would suggest everyone to keep buying anything under 4 thousand but as the price starts to go up (hopefully) you can once again stop buying and if the price goes above your average buying price than you should definitely stop buying.

[MetalGear]

2019 will be the great year for Bitcoin as crypto users are already waited long enough for this bearish market to end therefore don't wait for more dip to come as the crypto users are already used to this current price as the cheapest value ever to buy Bitcoin for the next year.

All of us are expecting for great year for bitcoin and 2019 might be the one of the great year but we do not know if the price will really go up. Why you need to buy bitcoin in this year 2019, so simple because the price will have possibility to increase in the last quarter so you should buy now before the price goes up.

Be patient for a while as all of us still waiting for the bull run. It will happen soon or later, and all we have to do is sit down, watch the price, make a buy and sell order if needed, hold it until it increases. I think we don't have any reason why we should buy bitcoin right now if we want to make a profit from bitcoin. Some people already have the bitcoin in their wallet, and they still want to buy more because now, the price is at the low price and they can buy a lot of bitcoin if they want.

Hey Bitcoins prices rising shouldn't be the only factor you should be considering, you should buy because you believe in the technology too. Also I feel that there's a high level of sentiments in the crypto markets, that institutional investors shall be adopting into cryptos. I also feel the fud has disappeared from the market which shall pave the way for further growth in the crypto market.

Which is one of the major reasons the whales and some of the institutions will keep having a pretty good time with playing with the minds of the gamblers in this market.

A lot of people do not know why they are buying, except for the fact that they believe the market will end up increasing in the long run. Sure, it is not a bad idea of a thought to have, but at the same time, that is one reason that has set up so many people into making the wrong decisions with their investments over the years. The market is opened to a lot of people anyway which includes the inexperienced investors, so it is a normal thing to get to see things like this.

[sunanbonang]

In my opinion, Bitcoin will not show any price rise until the end of 2019. At the end of 2019, we can slowly see a rise and then we can say "moon".

may I ask you a question ? why would we say "month" at the end of the year? why not at the beginning or end of the year? does investor interest always increase at the end of the year?

[timerland]

I personally think that there will be a huge buying opportunity for long term investors that will last throughout Q1, or potentially even Q2 of 2019.

The market sentiment is yet to change to bullish, and i don't think that it's going to do that within the first quarter of the year. We are likely going to be seeing some sideways movement between the $3k-4k zone before any big vertical movements occur.

8 ) Following the FUD.
As a result of lack of research, investors are selling their coins after some manipulative news that can be called as FUD. Then, the investor figures out that it was FUD/manipulative news but it's a bit late; investors already sold out with quiet cheaper thatn few hours after dump.

9) Following Influencers and copying their investments/shared coins.
Of course, it is vital to follow significant influencers who are wised or well-informed. It helps, indeed. However, it doesn't mean that people should copy whatever has been shared to their portfolio in manner of seconds. In these kind of scenarios most of the people are going to lose their funds as a result of lack of research and experience.

These are the two most crucial mistakes in my opinion in terms of speculating in 2018.

I know a ton of people who started panic dumping because prices dipped below $4k, when they should actually be doing dollar cost averaging to lower their average entry point for the long run. Also, there has been a ton of so called "experts" in mainstream media posting sensationalist analysis articles for bitcoin which have been completely false and unbacked (*cough* *cough* Tom Lee).

Don't follow the herd. I definitely think that when we're this deep in a bear market and the mainstream is screaming "sell" and "bitcoin is dead", long term investors should do the contrary.

[Kolikalex55]

Perhaps the right decision to buy this year bitcoin but still there is a risk of decline. I bought bitcoin during 2018 and now I will buy more only if the price falls as I do not want to be greedy. I have some bitcoins but am happy with what I have.

[Shiversnow]

Bitcoin price trends continue to decline from the beginning of 2018 until now and this is some people compare with 2014 events and if this is appropriate then 2019 bitcoin and crypto will provide a trend of increasing prices and this is good news for holders of bitcoin and crypto

If we want to see uptrend price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies we need to support it and end the bear market. Even the price of bitcoin will continue on declining there will be a time that it will start on inclining so we do not need to worry.

[Febo]

If yo only started buying in 2018 then I assume you dont have that much. I can only suggest you to buy as much as you can during 2019. With that you will reduce your average buy price and end up with more precious Bitcoins. In 2020 will be way harder get cheap Bitcoins. Not impossible, but way harder then in 2019.

[tisoysoy]

Hi all,

As you all know, the 2018 was one of the best/worst years of Bitcoin and Altcoins. As a result of that, we have find out that there are hundred thousands of people who has lost a lot of their funds by trading. Therefore, we as a consultancy company prepared a detailed analysis based on the most common trading failures during the 2018. During this post you will find the summary of analysis that aim to give an idea about how to trade in the 2019 if you are still interested in trading for future. The purpose of sharing the analysis is to prevent the same mistake occurs.

Premise: We assume that you have been experiencing in a good way if you didn't invested all of your money at the ATH. The most important part is to prevent to have the same mistakes in the upcoming year/s.
These are several reasons for losing the money.

1) There is only 1% of taking profit from Pump Groups; You may only be successful in few times by attending the Pump Groups but you will lose most of your funds later on. (internal monolgue: I was almost rich, so I should have the risk few more times...)
Comments: I am sorry, but you can't. Pump is the regret.

2) FOMO is another regret.
Yep, you are right. Another crucial problem with trader is that they do never pay attention what percentage a coin has increased and they just tried to get in to get some profit. However, the people who bought quiet cheaper, start to sell and they dumped on new comers
And of course most of the traders do not pay attention about the possible reasons for the increase and they just buy as a result of FOMO. And in most cases they don't have ay information about the project. They buy, because some others did.
Result: Wait for month.

3) Investing in Shitcoins.
It doesn't mean that you are going to be rich if a project offer you ERC-20 or ERC-721 tokens or any other platform based tokens. More technical information is needed.

4) X number of investors.
Ok, it's obvious that most of the investors invest on any kind of projects by checking the numbers of investors and if there is a crowd they just send whatever they have. They started to share The project SikCoin has X number of investors, therefore these people can't be wrong and that's why they should invest in.
Result: Regret.
Because it's not difficult to fake the numbers.

5) ATH in not appropriate to buy an asset.
Some of the investors, decide to invest so by considering the last several days which an coin had an sigificant increase. Therefore, they believe that the coin is going to rocketing. Why? Because they have bought it.
Wrong. They will again dumped the coin that bought before couple of days from you to buy and of course cheaper.
Result: Regret and waiting for couple of months.

6) Lack of Research before investment
Most of the traders do not research before investment, they do resarch a bit after investing and try to figure out what's going to happen if there is any price dump on the market. If you don't make your own research appropriately, then most likely ou are going to lose your funds.

7) Lack of Vision.
If you are not well-informed about coin that you have invested, you're likely to sell before increase in price or sell after dump. We have seen people arguing as waiting for x100 to sell a scam coin. In this case there is no any way for trader to sell at x100, By waiting even the investor miss some chances of selling x2 at any time. MAKE A PLAN!

8 ) Following the FUD.
As a result of lack of research, investors are selling their coins after some manipulative news that can be called as FUD. Then, the investor figures out that it was FUD/manipulative news but it's a bit late; investors already sold out with quiet cheaper thatn few hours after dump.

9) Following Influencers and copying their investments/shared coins.
Of course, it is vital to follow significant influencers who are wised or well-informed. It helps, indeed. However, it doesn't mean that people should copy whatever has been shared to their portfolio in manner of seconds. In these kind of scenarios most of the people are going to lose their funds as a result of lack of research and experience.

10) Team's nationality/citizenship;
Do not invest in any project by only paying attention to the team' nationality or their citizenship of X country. Being a citizen of any country do not legitimize what will happen in close future about price and value of the coin/token.

These are mainly what I have realised and wanted to share with you all; and would like to hear if I have missed any significant other possible reson/experince, feel free to add more.

✨2019✨

Now the price of bitcoin is still dump, it seem your speculation was quite right. This is our advantage to buy more bitcoin, since its till in a low price and probably it might go high on this mid year or near end month of this year 2019.

[leowonderful]

The recent sharp drop in price is yet another reason why dollar cost averaging's so effective if you're trying to get into BTC. Divide the amount you're planning to invest into Bitcoin and invest a fraction every week or two weeks, etc, so you don't enter at one single price point and you're less affected by sharp price movements that we're having a lot of in this current market with the bart patterns all over the board. There's really not anything that beats DCAing in this sort of market.

[eaglewhite80]

I also feel the fud has disappeared from the market which shall pave the way for further growth in the crypto market.

It is a normal thing to see FUD disappear gradually at points like this and then see some level of sideways movement like stagnation. Trust me, that is the point a lot of people usually end up bailing out with the thought that there is nothing else for the market, and that is what happens to those people who are majorly centering their attention on increases only and not a major clue why they should have hope in the long term prospect of the market, but it is what it is.

[dupee419]

You should buy some Bitcoin/s this 2019 because people are expecting the bull run to start this 2019, a lot of people are saying that it will start by the end of January, though all of these are mere speculations but it is still a possibility so I'm going to buy and wait for the right time.

[Jating]

But how can you buy today when the price keeps going on a flatline? I mean there's no volume whatsoever, so those newbies are really afraid because they don't want to suffer more loss at this worsening market situations.

As a investors we really need to weight the pros/cons of entering the market today, you just don't throw out money there, you need to be wise if you wanted to stay long in this game. There might be positive news coming around, but unless we see Bakkt getting approved, I'm not seeing the market recovers or experience a good price bump in the next couple of months.

[omonuyak]

I think the major point that I have learned from the op post is lack of proper research before investing.  He really hit the nail on the head and I think many of those that lose money in cryptocurrencies market are those that did not do proper research but jump into the market.

[semobo]

They are just speculation so if you want to invest just based on those prediction by the random people then you are risking too much.The prices of bitcoin keeps going down everyday then there is no sign of bull run anywhere so everyone have to keep their hope alive by only investing the affordable money.

[chulos]

I joined the crypto-sector because of the belief in this system. I believe that it makes sense and has a future. I have always traded on the basis of my feelings. If someone wants to invest, they will invest regardless of other views.
I have never taken the crypto as a golden mine, but rather with patience to come to profit. This market is very volatile, but it always depends on your decision.

[ly0yl]

Hi all,

thanks for great replies!

I see that all of you have agreed and shared positive reactions to the detailed report that we have shared about crypto markets.

I hope you have seen some benefit of it.

The report was shared to show people about how and why to buy Bitcoin in 2019.

As you already aware, the Bitcoin price pumped if you tried to invest during those times.

Anyway, let me know if you have any questions or feedbacks. We are currently in search of launching our brand new international crypto-crypto/crypto -fiat exchange which will be more user-centric.

Feel free to share your ideas.

Thanks in advance,

The purpose of the Bitcoin system is simply to allow people to store and transfer money securely, for example to pay the seller of some goods. So, Bitcoin is a Banking and Payment system. According to multiple analyses on average daily bitcoin prices, Sunday and Monday are the best days to buy BTC.
