Have you figured out what you are Investing in?

[joseph32]

The next hype will come. But I think this time it will be much slower. Too many ppl are scared by the last wave.

But when the train is starting, many newbies will follow and we will read/discuss the same next year

Why most of the trader always chasing the HYPE because it's easy than technical analysis, most of them cant make their own prediction using a TA that's why they always chasing a hype. Investing in a HYPE project its really easy for them because they only need to spread/shilling the news from the coins to make the FOMO/Hype more bigs.

[Fatunad]

It is really funny to think that people are only attracted to hypes without even knowing the cause and what would happen next and ending up with the mindset that they were fooled and scammed. As an investor, of course, you have to know what will you get involved and what are the things that you would consider as the thread and advantages of that specific investment.

If you really want to earn a profit, then you have to make sure to be smart and using your brain instead of you being an impulsive person. Investing is something is expecting for a profit, and you have to make sure to achieve that.

'Greed'

One of the reasons why people do easily being tagged by hype.When they do saw on money making opportunity they do easily jump in without even realizing on the things they are possibly involving.
Common mistakes of an individual when it comes to investing means.Always take a research and have second thoughts because not all things would really be easy.

This is one problem I have with so many people in the Crypto space,  and I think the fault is from those who introduced them to the Crypto space, they told them that when they come into the crypto ecosystem, that they will see an increase in the price and their money will grow in no time, but forget to tell them about the technology itself and what they can benefit from the technology now and also in the future, this is why we lost a lot of persons after the draw back in price 2018.

[daarul50]

The hyped in 2017 cause bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies to surged toward the end of the year and complete crashed back to the bottom in December 2018. Did people really know what they are investing in?  Is a question that keeps ringing in my mind and actually the answer to that question is that people follow the hype and forgot to  checked for reality before investing and this come from the testimony of those that has claim of making big profits or gain from the past surge that came into the cryptocurrencies market.
I think the red flag there is that people think of what they are going to get from their investments into cryptocurrencies more than the capital they have invested and as results when the reality done on them,  they began to sell out of panic and in turn the market clash like it happens through 2018.
Now that we have another opportunity to invest because of the down turned,  I do believe that it is good you look at the reality behind any coin you want to invest in and not the FUD,  manipulations,  FOMO and hype behind those coins.

Crypto investment is not just a mere hype because if we are an investor we will make an investment decision with an analysis. Why many people now blame cryptocurrency? I'm sure these people are new people and they suffered a big loss when the price of the cryptocurrency fell. It is not the awareness that we must correct but the greed that we must correct. They thought by making crypto investments they would get rich in an instant. Not that easy.

People will be focusing on money and that they'll oversee of its true purpose for its creation. The reality came that crypto is will be consider as a good source of income nowadays as it is use for investment  but it never be like that forever when it finally be used as a currency.
Crypto have it's good contribution to the community and we should appreciate if for its creation and we be able to used it in accordance of its purpose.

People nowadays either enter due to mainstream news coverage (mostly because the price has pumped hard for months straight), or scam ads and groups on social media promising insane returns. In that regard, it doesn't surprise me that we're dealing with a group of people that is only out to make profit, and I expect things to get worse as time goes by.

In the end, the best way for people to come to sense is to lose money. Period. If you get rewarded for doing stupid things (i.e. blindly investing in shitcoins and ICO's) in form of profits, how stupid are these things actually? Stupid things should make people lose money, and it's good to see that they do more often than not. It's obviously not cool to see people lose money, but it is cool to see people learn and better themselves afterwards.

Let say that some of people new in crypto will not totally know about what they investing in. Because some of them are more looking a hype or follow in the flow of hype. That's why some of them end to nothing because of lack of knowledge what crypto is. It's important that before we invest we need a lot of information about to what we want to invest in.

After knowing a lot of information about something we want to invest in; we still shouldn't be too confident about it. We should also assure it first by trying small amount if it will work and if it's secured enough. Not everything that we can learn about them are true.

[Jocuserious]

I think people know how to pick the right currency in their investment then the fear of their profit will be very sure. But here people see that many people accept Bitcoin completely for their investment. It is seen that there are some more coins for investment, It is possible to profit from them also.

[TheCoinGrabber]

The problem with people who are investing out of hype is that, they are not really aware what caused the hype. This is one of the main reason why a lot of people, usually or most of them are new people in cryptocurrency, had lost a lot of money and now blaming cryptocurrency for it. As an investor, it is our responsibility to be updated or at least aware of what we are getting involved to.

The hype is likely how they heard of crypto in the first place. Those who were lucky enough to cash out before it crashed might try doing it all over again now. The bagholders likely got burned and swore off crypto.

They'd only have themselves to blame for any loss though. One thing about stocks and similar stuff is by the time you hear about it, it's about to collapse and bring newcomers down with it.

[guoyu78]

Okay, so after seeing the reality in the coin we are investing in, what do we do? And moreover, what is the reality that you are exactly talking about here, because the only reality I have seen on other crypto currencies other than BTC is that, they get listed, people invest, dump it for the profit and that is how the cycle goes.

What more reality do we have to face before investing in the so called altcoins, the only reality we would have faced was the advantage of crypto currency to our system but It looks right now to me that people are more interested in the money the system can offer and not the services cryptocurrency designed by satoshi offers.

[bhabygrim]

This is also one of the things that I want to know when the crypto rise up on 2017 people gets into it ,
And when it drops down they are all crying and screaming scams and other stuffs ,
I think most of them just invested without thinking and get blinded by the huge pump .
Most of the new investors doesn't really know anything about crypto they just get into it because of their friends or want to be the next rich people created by crypto currency.

  We must be aware about the consequences of what we had penetrated. Being wise by investing and knowledgeable every deliberation we made, will take us as a good investor. Because investors do invest to earn money and this is somehow an appreciable way to earn. And what asset we had keep must be profitable and informational.

[davinchi]

There are lots of people that don’t know what they are buying, they just invest in it thinking that profit is the only thing that comes, forgetting that there can be loss as well. Like you have just said, it is because of the stories they have heard, they saw people that made profit and they all think it is just like that, but unfortunately for them it is not.

Some people just cryptocurrency without doing research and knowing what it is. That’s why I saw a newbie complaining that he bought bitcoin and woke up the next day and noticed that his money is what it was, it has reduced. He didn’t know that bitcoin can go down in price, he thought it only goes up.

99.9% of tokens are crap, and ICOs are scams. Thank God I only invest in a couple of graphics cards. Now I hold some bounty tokens with almost zero value. Hence, I'll only collect Bitcoin if I have excess cash.

Sorry to say this, but not all icos are scam. Just because you made mistake and fell for those that are scam doesn’t mean that it is all scam. There are good icos, you should learn how to tell the ones that are legit and the ones that are not. There are lots of people that keeps on making the same mistake as you, because they don’t do proper research before they choose any ICO. There are good ones, just that there are lots of them that are scam, so they are now painting the market black.

Unfortunately accepting bitcoin does not spreaded that much in the marketplace. If I am whale or giant business man i will accept to use the product and services for bitcoin. Lets see what facebook will do after they launch their own coin soon.

When you invest on the bitcoin please do not convert it to fiat and keep show the demand for the bitcoin then you will find the growth for sure.

[blueteam09]

Almost all options in 2017 were goddamn terrible unless you got out in time. I would not call any of them great.

2017 is not a great year, but this is a year with many fluctuations that make the whole world known to Cryptocurrency. I think 2017 is a successful year when we see a lot of investors appear with large amounts of money in ICOs projects, many projects have been thriving and still exist until now. This is a whole year of changing the world of Crypto.

[mu_enrico]

There are good icos

Name one.
Sorry to say this, even if your tokens price were going up, it doesn't mean it is not a scam. I want to archive the good ICOs (according to your belief) and patiently wait for several years. Let's see

Sadly right, those who still trying to workout with crypto business are people who intentionally investing without real knowledge, thinking that in any chance they will be able to get some earnings if luckily got first before others will do, the hyped of bull brings lots of interested investors who's willing to lose their money just to take the chance of profits.

[Reid]

You are right.
They came in mostly from hype. They saw 19k USD. Their eyes widen and a dollar sign is in it.
Wrong move.
Now they are making FUD about bitcoin because they did not make profit out of it.

First, that is unwise of them to just barge in without even knowing what or where they are stepping at.
They trespass at a place usig their own money.

Now, it is still happen. Question is did they learn their lesson or they will just keep on doing it.
