Bitcoin stimulus 2019

[eaLiTy]

Finally, first I thought that this fall of BTC price started in middle november 2018 was just a whales manipulation, to get better buing price for the next year, but now it seems that the price is really down as it does not have power to do any up movement. And without stimulus it will probably not move.

When the price of bitcoin is going higher no one complains about the whales manipulating the market to go higher, but when the market comes down crashing everyone is blaming these whales for the market situation.  Without these whales coming into the market we wont see the mad rallies we saw in the past and everyone is waiting for these whales to invest again so that the market rallies and earn their profits.

In fact, there are no special reasons for the growth of bitcoin. The only reasonable solution is the cost of mining which is estimated to be about 3 000 dollars and logically the price should not go lower. But this is all a theory-everything can turn out not at all a turn, when no one is waiting for the collapse to happen again and only then the price can turn around

In 2019 , we are hoping that some events should happen that might stimulate the cryptocurrencies market for upwards price movement and that is why outside ethereum hardfork that many thinks will cause the market to recover I think ETF should be the next event.  If ETF is approve by the security and exchange commission then we should expect another bullish trend and will move bitcoin to another significant level.  However,  in 2020 when bitcoin halves we should expect another high to be created.

Bakkt and halving will change the market. Institutional money is the trend that will make the market better again, actually the market has been better since then but we're all comparing and basing all of our expectations from the last bull run.

I think we need to start all over again and realize all of those pumps that bitcoin has went through. Struggling to make it to $4000 and we are all encouraged that this bear will be ending soon. I forgot to say that don't forget we are still in bear market so these lows are still normal.

For now, I can only keep quiet and survive with the price of bitcoin declining at a price of $ 3500. what can I do? Except for silence and wait for the price to rise again above $ 6000. Even before that I didn't think about the game of whales to get cheaper bitcoin prices. Confusing

don't be surprised by the game of traders. this is the world of commerce that can justify all kinds of ways. if we are not ready to trade, then get out of now, because there are various ways to get profits, crypto trading is unpredictable, everything is fast, so good accuracy and understanding are our basic capital.

I think more development is needed with the Lightning Network before we will have the next bull run, but it's getting better each month. I can't wait for the Neutrino lite client to be released. Also, the market should rebound as we get closer to the next halving, if Litecoin is any indication.

Litecoin has always been brutal in terms of price action

So whether its current rally has anything to do with its coming halving remains mostly an open question thing. Let's not forget that it still followed Bitcoin's rise though accelerated and amplified. In other words, to see the actual strength of Litecoin (and whether the halving is involved here) we need Bitcoin to drop to its recent lowest lows. If Litecoin falls as much or even stronger, then it is just regular pumping (which is so characteristic of this coin)

It's reasonable, everyone that feels loss will be blame anything. I suppose whales has been giving a big effect to the movement price, I doubt if in this market there is no whales maybe at 2017 the price bitcoin will not reach $20.000 I'm sure with that. However, many people don't understand and even they don't apprehend what has been done by many whales for this market, and I guess they don't need this situation because they also same will not gain profit with this situation, they will decide to buy and decide to sell depend on information that comes to cryptocurrency.

I believe this is  very difficult to built up in 2019

I think one of the most critical factors that influenced the downward pressure on the price was the sale of MtGox coins on exchanges and not on OTC platforms by the trustees. This might decline as more and more coins are sold and when all coins are sold, the constant extra supply of coins will decrease and the price will have a opportunity to recover.

The Lightning Network adoption will also spark new applications for Bitcoin, like we saw with the tipping service on Twitter.

I think you might be right but as far as no one knows, the answer will remain the same, cryptocurrency is unpredictable
, cryptocurency is very mysterious, difficult to predict and there is no way to predict precisely, what you will hear is speculation, the only thing that will keep cryptocurrency higher than before is mass adoption.

A year ago consensus did nothing to the price. Were 2 months out from a year until no huge result on price that we can accept BTC will go above. I don't assume we will but if this trend continues it drops under $3,000 within the following 2 months or so it's going to be on a long trend up!

Most events are speculative like the etf which may or may not happen. The one thing that we should be keeping an eye on is the bitcoin halving which always causes a pump

Well with the current price of $3800, we are still like 80% down so that's a long road to overcome. There's a lot of factors why the price is not moving and just trading sideways. But the good thing is that in the last 2 months or so, the price is going above $3K++ and we even have like $4200 about 3 weeks ago so it's good that we don't see massive sell-offs at this point so I don't think that the price will go under $3K now.

I think we can look at it from a different perspective or angle

For example, instead of searching for factors why the price is only trading sideways these days, we can rather look for the factors which were driving the price all the way up to 20k back then. And this will give us the desired key to our puzzle. In this manner, if Bitcoin rose to ATH due to hype and hot air, then the price is not moving due to the lack of these factors. No hype, no ride. Simple, isn't it?
