Why is everyone expecting continuous growth?

[Sanugarid]

~snip

Continuous growth is not possible. Indeed, in fact, it is precisely thanks to the collapse that we can see strong jerks in prices.
In addition, the entire crypto market looks like a money pumping machine from those who have little to those who have a lot of them by swaying the market and manipulating volumes.

Continuous growth is not the right term for me, we can use progressive instead. Since the market is volatile the price will vary on the supply and demand, trend and events so there will be no continuous growth, rally is what you are talking about if it happens that there is a consecutive days or weeks or even months of good price increase. The market is very complicated and we have a bunch of gullible people, simps and immature investor, we might as well use the progressive term rather than continuous.

I do believe there is no such thing as continuous growth especially in crypto where the market is so volatile.
Thats why it's very important that we should be aware of the crypto trends so we can make a decision on a timely manner. Timing is what really matters in crypto.

Why especially in crypto?! It's the case with every market, and we have simple explanation for that, supply and demand are in constant change! To not go so deep in discussion that someone can manipulate with both, supply and demand will create the market price!
You can't expect from nothing in your life to grow constantly! There're ups and downs, tops and bottoms for everything! Our timing for buying/selling is what can make our investments profitable, in long or short run!

You need to monitor the trends if you are a short term investor as the market could be more volatile.
Not all investors sees the same in the market, some would see an opportunity while some would panic, you choose which side you will stay.
there is no such continues growth, not only in crypto but in other type of investment too.

Timing is what really matters in crypto.

That's why traders needs to ensure they have the knowledge and have studied the market behavior, its their ticket to be profitable.

It's a good venue for those big whales to continuously making lots of money by creating their own waves, investors are expecting to have continuous growth since there's different positions that they've places their investments. Each of us loves to see profits and that's the reason why we will continue to try to anticipate what will be the best entry for our money.

You are absolutely right that speculators and big whales will always earn on the cryptocurrency market, thanks to their ability to manipulate the market and create all kinds of situations.  How the degree of income they will always have is good, but this does not mean that for the ordinary user of the cryptocurrency the market will always be positive, and this means that there will not be a continuous increase in the prices of cryptocurrency, definitely.  Of course, everyone expects the next bitcoin halving, which should positively affect the entire cryptocurrency market, but when this happens, the excitement will gradually begin to subside.

My strategy has been to follow the invesments on big funds and their announcements.

For example a recent coin i have invested in is a coin called Creditcoin.

The coin was invested in by Coinbase and Y combinator and after i saw the press release I did the same.

Already up 5x lol

I don't know if it's only my perception but I constantly notice people who expect continuous growth. Whether it is bitcoin, crypto,
stock, they only see one side of things and never the opposite.

Yes, things go up but they can go down, and going down does not mean the stock/crypto is dying. It means it is alive!
So please stop all these recession & bitcoin going down topics and be wise

yup, that's exactly what we often see in new traders. And those are the prey of the shark. It constantly manipulates and kills small fish with little knowledge. so to be safe in trading, I strongly encourage everyone to read about the Dow theory. One of the most basic knowledge but helps us be the safest in the financial market.

Just like internet or technology, it didnt have a fast adoption so cryptocurrency or blockchain wills urely continue to grow

Doubtful reason.
The fact that the cryptocurrency does not have the ability to quickly adapt (or we have not yet found such opportunities) is rather a constraining factor for growth, which means that it somehow indirectly affects the fall.

Internet wasn't really an option for adoption, we are talking about something so clearly better than all the other alternatives that it was a no brainer that whole world adopted it, we are talking about the biggest invention of the century if you ask me, even computers wouldn't really be this much of a big deal if there was no internet in them, having an offline computer is cool and all but nowhere remotely enough to be as important of our lives as today.

However the world can continue without bitcoin, that is the biggest difference.

Just they have invest when bitcoin on the top price and always optimist with bitcoin back again to higher without good analyze and just worth will bitcoin back to the moon. I think is not responsibility today for keep positive thinking with bitcoin, during break out from our profit better to sell and waiting for when bitcoin go down for re investing.

[JasonBriggs]

I think it is because everyone sees that prices are growing, so income must as well, no?

If the worth increases then the income are going to be higher but you'll not be ready to get more power. alittle amount of business will need to be increased Excessive greed is usually at stake.

I think Bitcoin 's halving will raise its value. If the BTC starts to grow, the entire market will be green. Let's wait. There was less than a month.

I am not saying this won't happen, it will but not that much of an increase.

The price is quite unpredictable this week and there are a lot of movements that are happening since it is said that some people are selling their Bitcoin despite the loss since they needed the money because of the lockdown that is happening. If you want to reinvest, I guess you should be alert on the price movements that are happening since you might miss the chance to do so.

The best product I've seen so far is Creditcoin

Investment by Steve Chen (Youtuber founder), Coinbase, y combinator etc

has only been experiencing continuous growth.

Keep in mind who is backing the product obviously they will do whatever it takest o increase the price

Because all they want is Profit mate and i know you also noticed that,they don't even talk about the technology or even what is the promise of Bitcoin in future.

Yes, things go up but they can go down, and going down does not mean the stock/crypto is dying. It means it is alive!
So please stop all these recession & bitcoin going down topics and be wise

actually they should have been enjoying everytime the price of bitcoin is dumping because at least at some point there are chance we can also avail another portion because when the price go across 20k again this will be harder to accumulate again.

[pankaj1234]

People who came in crypto market in 2018 might be in losses,and people who is from early in this market has seen so much growth in their trading years that why people are expecting continues growth.but I this increasing Cryptocurrencies might not get a growth like earlier years but some projects might do well  .you have to be very selective in crypto field to get any type of profit. Loosing money in crypto is now easier than you think.

There is a big difference between having something like computer and internet that literally changes the whole world and basically doesn't hurt anyone at all and simply just a million times better version of the old one means that internet and computers got super adopted like in a few years and in few decades it was the standard and not something that was rare.

However bitcoin both hurts some corporations (which is good for us but still bad for them) and it is also not improved version ALL that much, it still has problems, hell we are not used everywhere in the world, we are only traded and so forth right now yet we still get to be stuck at transactions sometimes, literally blocks get clogged and transactions takes hours because suddenly there is an increase, this happens when we are at this stage, think about if bitcoin was so much more common in the world right now. There are ton of other stuff that is lacking as well, so even though we love bitcoin lets be honest it is not internet.

[bearexin]

Bitcoin could have that kind of adoption if it was used the way satoshi imagined it should have been used but unfortunately in the past 4-5 years that changed radically, the first years up until 2013 were the times people actually used bitcoin, they literally bought pizzas with bitcoin (10k bitcoin for a pizza must hurt now lol) and it was like that, after 2016 or so it started to become more of an investment and less of money itself, if you are an american you do not "invest into dollars", it is money that you use to invest into stuff, bitcoin should have been like that as well but for some reason it failed and became like gold instead.

Ever since that moment I would say adoption failed as well, if it didn't turned this way, we could had better adoption rate so we could use it on more places as well.

In the past and up to the present, I lose money and the time to earn profits is often very short so it's best not to decide quickly. Crypto market grew the most steadily in 2017 and early 2018 but after that period of time, the downtrend dominated the market.

I don't know when the market can return to the period of the highest price increase but certainly investors will continue to stay in the bear market for a few more years.

Same here, don't know when but certainly it will happen.
The market will grow but it might take time so we should be willing to hold, investing in crypto does not tell us do it for easy money, instead it tells us to trust the market and must be willing to hold so when the right time will come, you'll enjoy the price.

Bear market and bull market are just cycle in the market, in every cycle, we should know what to do and how to approach it, even if we are for long term hold.

Well, that's really the best we can do as small time investor — patiently wait until the right time comes. For some of us here might it sounds boring and got a slow progress, and actually they are right lol. That's the hard fact! However they can't blame us because I'm sure that all of us here also dream of becoming a daytrader and maximize the profits, right? But sometimes our ideals do not always match on the reality. All of us got their own reasons of remaining a small hodler and for me all reasons are understandable .
