which is more scary...

[acdc]

Any market manipulation happens, so I'm not afraid of manipulation. Besides, when the market plummets and prices fall, it is also an opportunity for us to buy more favorite coins at low prices.
In my opinion we are not afraid of anything, if you want to develop in the cryptocurrency market, you should get used to and adapt to them.

Hi all...
I want to ask, which of these two things is more feared by traders, market manipulation or coin dumps. both of these things always make the loss of traders from the beginning of popular crypto until now.

It's difficult to understand but I still tried.
Market manipulation means whales could dump it or pump. So how could it be different with what you said like "coin dump"?

Market manipulation itself is already scary. If you made the wrong choice then you cannot ride the wave which they have been doing.
It needs research, reading FUD and FOMO and other stuff in social media which could be the sign for a whale to make a wave.
Not all are accurate. But if done right then it might be fastest profit you could ever have.

actually, between market manipulation and the occurrence of coin dumps both are just as frightening, it's just more frightening if there is a coin dump, because I personally experience it also investing in new coins and when listing on the exchange has experienced a sharp price drop. 70% of the initial price. This decline occurred because many bounty hunters/investors  sell directly when there is an opportunity and I am too greedy to wait 3x profit, but in the end I suffered a big loss.

I'm personally very scared when the market is at an uptrend, but suddenly there is a dump that causes prices to fall very deep, even lower than when I bought the coin. that's why when prices go up high (more than 15%) I won't buy it. I better not get profit than get stuck by FOMO. while for market manipulation, this is normal. I'm not surprised by this, because I always trade coins that have a large marketcap. so the risk of manipulation is very low. and when there is manipulation I will definitely know.

how about you guys? which makes you scared?

I'm more scared with hackers.. In this cryptocurrency world hacker is everywhere moreover if you have more than thousand dollars assets in a wallet you might be targeted by the hackers. So, we have to be careful with visiting any crypto websites or filling forms that might be a phising site from hackers that want to steal you wallet.

Honestly, hacking is one of the worst thing that can happen to any of us. Thinking about the time and effort that you have worked on to earn those and in one wrong move your funds will be gone, its the reason why we need to be more cautious these days because hackers will always look for some ways to get what they want. I'm really scared and I don't want to experience it that is why I always make sure of things even if its a bit laborious because I know that it can help me to make right decision and it can help me to avoid losing my funds and assets.

All say the same thing, which is the most feared is when there is sudden price manipulation and dump conditions. Market with this situation will be very detrimental, if we are able to sell coins in advance during a pump then we will be safe, but sometimes we are late to sell and prices suddenly drop dramatically. I experienced a lot of things like this, so the altcoin that I have is very cheap and there are some that have no price. to avoid losses you should buy altcoin which is already popular.

[kodtycoon]

there is nothing scary if you already have high confidence in the crypto itself, when there are manipulations and big dumps at least with confidence, then the ups and downs of prices have become something that is common because the crypto market does have high fluctuations so that the pump and a dump is a familiar occurrence and it's not something scary as long as enthusiasm and demand still happen

[beerlover]

Honestly coin dumps are the scary ones. Market manipulations is not something we would like to see but compared to coin dumps they are something we live everyday. We are talking about two worlds where in one we have a coin lets say at 10 dollars that goes to 5 to 15 to 8 to 21 to 3 to 9 and so forth which is horrible of course but at least you still have a coin that is moving ups and downs which gives you a chance to make a lot of money but also gives you a chance to lose a lot too.

However, coin dump is when it goes from 10 to 3, that is literally just a dump and I can't really handle that anymore, I am just way too old for caring about another long term holding, I just have bitcoin as long term and I am fine with that, anything else I just want it to stabilize.

The price fall is a good opportunity to collect from the cheaper price, but every time you take the opportunity, you lose money from previous ones. You may have enough money to invest each time, but I'd rather have enough patience instead of enough money. In my opinion, don't engage in manipulation, because collecting from unexpected movements can be scary.

[confreslamp]

In my opinion there can be nothing more scary than a market manipulation, because if dumps can be predicted, very unlikely, but they could be. A market manipulation can leave you with empty pockets if you met the wrong decision.

[jossiel]

Dumping as usual. It doesn't have any specific time when it's done and you will never have an idea when it's coming. And until now, there are traders and investors that never learned about buying at the top.

It's becoming a norm these days that when the market is high, it shouldn't be the best time to buy. But because of the scenario that it can go a little bit higher, there are traders that are chasing for the profits before it goes down but at the end, they'll get stuck.

[alexsandria]

In this past few years, there are some factors that might affect the price of bitcoin. The scariest thing in the world of crypto is when the price of bitcoin and other currency is when the price of it was dump, and in trading you trade in the wrong time that really makes me afraid of. All of our efforts, money and earnings will be gone because you just merely did it at the wrong time. You need a better knowledge and mindset to have a great profit that will make you better in along the run.

[Aabcde]

Both are very frightening because they both can create deep losses. Although in price manipulation you can profit if you are really observant in the whales game. On the other hand, what kind of dumps do we understand here? Is the dump of coins unclear or is the price of BTC dumped? Of course, if BTC is a dump, I don't think we need to panic too much because prices will gradually recover and stabilize again.
In my experience, if we enter the whales game when they are manipulating the market price, it is better if you are get profit once, do not continue the game because then you will definitely lose.

[danherbias07]

Those are just the same.
Manipulating the market is either coin pumping or dumping. As long as there is profit, the whales will do anything for it.
That is why it is difficult to trust new coins specially if the largest part of it is owned by one group of whales.
We as small buyers will be the milking cow.
It is not easy to ride with their flow because we will never know. Unless, you have some connection with one of them.

[ameliana]

both are scary, especially the coin dumping place. usually when the price of a coin rises unexpectedly like 20% above the average, chances are the coin is being pumped, as an investor or trader you must focus or continue to monitor on such coins, so you don't lose the chance to sell.

Buy coin with higher volume on exchange market to keep safety your investing and not scare with manipulation price, when you buy shit coin you have ready when price dump more than 300% because shit coin always have moment when have to pump and dump coin price, after you invest with shit coin you have sell soon although price is up.

[Ucy]

Market manipulators/manipulations with negative intentions.. . Manipulation does not really scare me, it's just annoying to see it happening while some pretend it does not exist.
Natural coin dumps are OK for me. They are somewhat predictable especially for the established cryptocurrencies

Traders might worried about the market manipulation but I don't think they were afraid of since its an opportunity for them to make money in short or long term.And price manipulation and price dumps lead to the same result right?

[btcdie]

Which I fear when prices drop by -20% to -35%. Basically, in my opinion, market manipulation is only a slight decline and even then, for a moment, but it can harm someone so that the trend (bear) comes.

In fact I also hate FUD news, this is included in the category of market manipulation or annoying games. but buying a coin with a high marketcap I think is safe, no need to worry if it happens like this, but if the bad news is really real this is the most feared by investors. Maybe some of these traders are an opportunity to buy, if you feel the right analysis.

[Natalim]

There is no such thing as scary if you understand that its normal and you know how to play it.
Market manipulation could result to dump and pump, that is what is happening in the market, therefore you need to make some strategy to benefit on that.

[Ccscopst]

when the price of a coin has increased sharply or (15%) then you immediately sell, if you wait too long, then you will experience a loss. You have to play smart when there is a pump like that, the opportunity won't come 2x.
