The implications of the market condition

[1Referee]

The price in December 2017 was heavily based on speculation about future adoption. The way I see it, all bubble periods are more indicative of speculation than adoption. Speculation causes price to rise way beyond fundamental usage.

This market does gain a decent level of adoption from bubbles, because all the insane price action we go through attracts people, and while a large part gets burned and doesn't look back for a while, a lot of these new market participants are here to stay. What other than bubbles and crazy price action has the crypto industry as a whole to market itself with?

Sure, the price action is pure speculation where people are basically front running the potential of whatever they invest in, but you can't get around the fact that after every bubble, there is more adoption/user activity.

The implications of the bearish market are people getting stuck in the high price because they are buying many coins at the high price and suddenly, the situation changed and they cannot sell right now and even for cut lose. But at the end of 2018, we see that the market can move and some coins can rise for a little price, and it's good for the market because we can see the price can go up and down in many times. We can hope that in this year, every coin can increase again so we can be back to make a profit like before.

Even ICO's projects last year they are stuck at the high price and now they can't perform it will and some are waiting when the price goes up in the market before they decided to list an exchange. Those scenarios are the same on us as an investor, we don't have anything to do is just tighten our belt to hold in a long time. Hopefully, Bitcoin will recover itself behind of those obstacles that might be facing now.

Considering the market surge of 2017 and the bearish market of 2018.
What is the implications of the 2018 bearish market on the Cryptocurrency market ?
Did the situation increased or decreased adoption rate of Cryptocurrency?

I do not think it increased the adaption of cryptocurrency after the bearish market. Investors tend to venture another kind of investment after losing some.interest in bitcoin. This is why bitcoin market price has gone stabilizing ij tue bottom part. Besides, Bitcoin ETF was not passed instead it was just being decided to discussed it later. This maybe the ETF needs more references before it will be decided to pass on or not.

It is difficult to say what the year 2019 will be, but I think that we have not yet reached the bottom. I am waiting for another fall in the region of 2000-2500 for Bitcoin. Then there will only be a recovery. And I believe that recovery will be slow. Most likely, almost the entire 2019 year, the price will be in the range of 4000-7000 dollars per bitcon. But towards the end of 2019, an increase in the price to $ 9,000 is possible. But these are exclusively my thoughts. Regarding the market of ICO projects, it is difficult and imagine what to expect. Most likely, new projects will be released significantly less than in 2018.

There is no specific impact of the bear market on the cryptocurrency market, the price decreases after a rapid growth and against the backdrop of many negative news and uncertainties in this area.
The market should "Cool down" after the rally in 2017 and only then will the perception of this market again.
Until the summer of 2019, we will definitely not grow and the Bottom is likely to be around 2000 dollars.

[Horas1976]

It seems difficult to see the current market, we think in reality and graphs that cannot ascertain market conditions. The current movement seems slow and stable. Although good news flows but still can't move up quickly, everyone can go up for a moment then go back down.

Don't get me wrong, there's obviously adoption happening during bubbles (and afterwards). In fact, the April 2013 bubble is the reason I'm here today.....I saw the growth back then and was fairly quickly drawn in by the emotional market action and also legitimate interest in the technology.

I just think speculation is a significantly bigger factor in times like late 2017. It's times like now or like 2015, when the speculators get shaken out, that we see a price more closely correlated to real adoption. Just my opinion of course.....all we can do is guess at this stuff since there's a million and one variables affecting the market.

the only thing that the altcoin pump and dump of 2017-2018 did was to help a large number of newcomers become familiar with the altcoin market and know that not everything that they hear in the advertisements of shitcoins is truth. they are always exaggerated to get them to invest their hard earned money into these tokens.

The people that invested during the bubble probably learned their lesson but the price they paid to learn that lesson was so high that it is likely that a significant segment of those investors will want to avoid cryptocurrencies from now on, which is not good for us or the market and it is one of the most important reasons the market is still going down and showing no signs of a recovery.

[Reid]

Adoption rate? Yes it grew.
So the question is why the hell it didnt go back to the higher value?

Number of exchange also grew so rapidly. Left and right creation of ICO with a project about making their own token or the higher percentage of them all which is making a better exchange (they said so).

With those large amount of them, the scams have been also higher and the investors are being divided.
If in example there could be like 10 investors per ICO project which could have been 100 investors per one. That couldve heightened up the value of the token.
Same goes with bitcoin by now.

Hopefully the implications are good, hopefully when 2017 happens a very good bullrun and in 2018 the market will be bearish, so I hope that the implications will be that this year there will be a bull run like what happened in 2017.

Interest rate went down as those investors who make an entry way back 2017 are very frustrated with what happen after, they are not impress and begin to quit and forget about this market, maybe if they just allow themself to study first before jumping to this industry they won't go away with a huge loses but to keep on surviving working with the trend.

Lesson learned in the hard way only those who can take it and keep working with their knowledge will see the benefits after.

Did the situation increased or decreased adoption rate of Cryptocurrency?

It decreased a lot I think because the new money entering into the market completely stopped and the traders are the only keep circulating their money to make profits from day trading.But the bearish trend removed lot of people who just came here for money o only the holders are now here with strong intention and looking for future of decentralization.

[aad140386]

Most likely there will be another panic in the region of 2000 - 2500 dollars for Bitcoin, and then we will be able to see a long flat in the range of 4000-7000 dollars. And this flat will be until the end of 2019. I don’t think we all should expect a quick market recovery. What happens next no one knows. In the world today, the situation is generally quite complicated in terms of trade wars, overheated stock market and other not very pleasant events. If there is a global financial crisis, then you can only sit and watch what happens next. As you in the evening in front of the TV, waiting for a fascinating film with an unexpected turn of events.

indeed many people just enter the crypto then the price drops, so many are frustrated, because the market drops dramatically. many leave crypto, but there are also those who are faithfully waiting for the market to rise again

[Sarastiche]

Globally I feel the long bearish market trend of 2018 have a negative impact on the cryptocurrency market as several newbie investors became skeptical about the sector, look more like an unstable platform where you cannot be sure of the safety of your investment portfolio.

It seems a new economic crisis is getting closer and for the first time we're going to see how the market of cryptocurrencies reacts to it, I have expectations that the market is going to behave very well however it is also possible that investors see this market as completely speculative and decide to get out of it making the price to crash even further, however regardless of what happens we are about to see some really interesting things happening in this market and I will not miss how the events unfold for anything in this world.

Crypto market not really behaving so well for now,  it's continuing declines makes some investors to think negative about it's future and could give some attentions into new adopters. I know how they feel,  having some depressions will definitely bring us down.
We just hope that someday we will have a huge bounce back and so investors will change their mind and continue their business in crypto.

Everything goes on as usual! The market of crypto-currencies is not so attractive at the moment for investors, but we must take into account the fact that most of the projects continue to develop, so we can say that the industry of crypto-currencies is also developing and is gaining more and more recognition.

[BitHodler]

We just hope that someday we will have a huge bounce back and so investors will change their mind and continue their business in crypto.

It will happen eventually, we just don't know when. At some point the sellers will run out of coins and the market regains its strength to finally make higher local highs instead of continuous lower lows.

The price never went up endlessly, and it never went down endlessly. Some don't believe that we bottomed with how markets in general aren't this generous when it comes allowing you to buy in this low, but it's still speculation.

I prefer to go against the mass, and when they get overly concerned about the market, that's mostly a good moment to counter. People believing in lower lows have likely dumped a large part of their bag already.

It could be that one final dump will be needed to shake out these people completely, but that seems a bit far fetched in my opinion....
