FOMO has started for Bitcoin

[LogitechMouse]

We might come across so many users posting unrealistic predictions about Bitcoin. We have already witnessed this during December 2017, so please be more cautious than ever before you invest into bitcoin by doing your own research and if you are ready for a long term investment then you may think of investing so that even during worst case situation you will get back your returns just like those invested during last peak and hodled it got it now.

I've seen numerous prediction here in the forum already and in the internet. Many analysts have already shared their prediction throughout the years. Some of them are negative and some are positive. Either way I'm not following their predictions. As a long term holder, a bit of technical analysis will help you. Knowing the support might help you when to enter into the market.

If you are looking for short term gain then give it a second thought.

Right now, short term gain might turn into a big losses because its hard to predict now where will Bitcoin be heading as it always move upwards and no correction.

It is not as bad as the last one back in 2017, but it is starting. I have already seen multiple topics where people are asking if they should start investing now. Clearly it looks like they just want to jump all in or else they feel like they are going to miss a chance. These all are fueled by other people where they are making unrealistic predictions and newbies are falling for it.

Bitcoin becomes so attractive for many people in a different country, the inflation of it makes the community bigger but there are still many people who keep on bashing the world of crypto because of thinking that it is a scam -snip-

Inflation? You might be wrong here. Bitcoin is considered as a hedge against inflation...

Actually, google trends shows that the general public has started to be interested in bitcoin again. Current interest is at 31% and since Feb, 2018 it wasn't at that level. We still have way to go to reach the Dec 2017 peak but it can be reached in a couple of months. That's the global interest. If you search specific countries like Argentina or Turkey the interest is very high.

thats because the value of bitcoin is high again and people easily got magnetize thru it but watch when the value falls again and the interest are also starting to loosen up but why we only have 31 percent interest now when the price of btc is more than what 2017 have achieved ?

 and the rise happened for a longer time now , i think thats enough observation for people to get in but this can prolly increase if the condition of btc wont change

I think FOMO started when we enter $20K and up till now.
I am waiting for the correction but it seem's that it wouldn't happen anytime soon so might as well enjoy it right now.
The price looks like it would continue to grow more specially if we would get more positive news like big names entering Bitcoin.

[Rovega]

You are right about this, maybe this is a lesson for beginners like me, to know things like this, I still have a lot to know and I want to learn something else too to really convince me to be able to invest in cryptocurrency so as not to lose too much from my investment in the future.

[MCobian]

No need to be surprised if FOMO has started to happen, who is not interested in seeing the price of Bitcoin skyrocket. Even my friends and
family have become FOMOs, even though I have advised that the current Bitcoin price is too high and there has been no correction until now.
So of course the risk is huge if they buy Bitcoin at the current price. But most people can no longer be advised when they are overcome by greed.

I agree with OP here. Every time BItcoin breaks an important level all the best analysts like Tom Lee come out of the woodwork.

https://u.today/fundstrats-tom-lee-expects-bitcoin-to-soar-300-percent-in-2021-as-it-hits-29000

For those who don't remember, he was the guy who in 2017 predicted bitcoin would go past 20000 and later in 2018 said the price would correct to 10000 and then go back above 20.
I'd love his predictions to come true buy he used to be more wrong than right in the past years.

Complex market needs better solution and one of the obvious answer was that "institutions" entering the market.

I second this, and this has made me believe that this is going to be different from previous highs/peak, imo, the Bitcoin network is much more stronger and even if there is to be a dip, it would not be too much to cause fright amongst newcomer investors. FOMO could actually not be a bad thing at this very point as it's possible we may not see Bitcoin below this very mark for a while, and not buying now could actually mean buying at a much very high price, I may just be over optimistic as a result of my proclivity towards Bitcoin, but I believe in the network, and I followed carefully it's growth in 2020, Btc could do crazy things in 2021, so don't be scared to buy or to hodl.

There is nothing wrong in going for short-term investment, if you have a well defined strategy. Take the current bull run for example. Those who went for short-term investment three months ago would have got around 200% returns by now. But don't expect the prices to always move in one direction. We didn't had a major correction for some time now. And when it occurs, it will be very sharp and going to last for a few months at least.

FOMO made me buy bitcoin at 28000 and sold them at 29500 and again made me buy for 29400 and I'm not regretting yet.
Though I should be clear that I'm not playing with all my money here. 80% of my cryopto balance now resides as stable coin while I'm betting the rest 20% for a price of 31K for bitcoin. And to add up, I have zero altcoin balance at the moment.

It is because you are aiming for short term which helps you a lot, but if the case is otherwise then that means that you might lose a lot of money and the time it takes to get a decent profit will be long. That is a good thing that you are splitting your coins, mine is on a safer side of 50/50. To other people that reads this, this might work for me but not for you same as the quote above, do your own research because the decision fall on you in the end.

FOMO hasn't started yet, because the market hasn't shown signs of sideway deviation. There is continued progress in the price. Now it has crossed the $29500 barrier which is big.

People will continue to keep hold when the price is on the rising trend. When there is drop/hard fluctuation people panic about missing the opportunity to sell at higher price. This is where panic sell gets initiated and cause market decline out of FOMO.

Currently the fomo is limited to institutions only and they do not want to be left behind in collecting bitcoin as bitcoin is a scare/limited asset. Retail fomo will also come soon as bitcoin price will cross 30,000$ and above. This bull market will continue till the end of 2021 and may expand to 2022 also.

[oliviarobert]

What makes someone impatient is that FOMO, which simply contains no nonsense noise, is easily swayed by it. We have to follow FOMO, but only as an illustration that the crypto is busy with visitors, not to be swallowed up. You also have to look at different crypto backgrounds, so choosing crypto does not necessarily have to be based on FOMO. But what should be noted is that the investment isn't about your big funds, but by making a profit, you can manage the smallest funds.

[jaresmerel001]

Sometimes, without doing research, many traders buy coins first, just because they are affected by FOMO. Ultimately purchase coins that for HODL, they are appropriate, and cause us to experience losses because we really choose the wrong coins. If you are planning to invest. In order to be sure of the potential of the coins we buy, you must always do your own research and analysis. It is very important for investors to choose coins that are worth purchasing. Don't be lazy about doing research and analysis.

Indeed the time to get in was when everyone thought bitcoin was burst.    BUT there is a massive correction coming soon, very likely.    follow my analysis https://www.facebook.com/BLCrypto/posts/104844901555486

Well I think what really matters here is what you would consider of being a 'unrealistic predictions about Bitcoin'.  I think 100k each coin is not going to happen but a price of 40k for coin is possible I believe.

Is this is considered being guilty of FOMO then well it is not something I am doing on purpose.  Its just a really strong belief and possible reality for the price.  There are many factors that lead me to this conclusion.   

For anyone thats saying how Bitcoin will be impossible for the price to double by end of this year then they dont really understand how history and the halving will effect price.

[xSkylarx]

FOMO will really happen if bitcoin's price will continuously increase. Add to that are the big institutions investing in it and speculations of many people that are saying it will reach this particular price.
People who don't have bitcoin are easily attracted to buy wanting to earn some good profit. If the market doesn't go well and it starts dumping hard then what happened way back 2017 could happen again leaving many people in a big disappointment.

[blue Snow]

i sold all my bitcoins. i may buy it again when it fall to $6k 

i think most people are smarter than before. after many FOMO with such crypto projects.

$6k in your dream my friend, we won't see again price under $25K. believe me, "most people are smarter than before" like you said.

I think FOMO started when we enter $20K and up till now.
I am waiting for the correction but it seems that it wouldn't happen anytime soon so might as well enjoy it right now.
The price looks like it would continue to grow more specially if we would get more positive news like big names entering Bitcoin.

look like FOMO doesn't start yet. people with small money aren't starting buy yet, they still watching the whales Bitcoin in the market. you should be waiting for correction until 50k I guess 

I still have a lot to know and I want to learn something else too to really convince me to be able to invest in cryptocurrency so as not to lose too much from my investment in the future.

they aren't getting any lost at the moment, people who bought at ATH 2017 got the profit right now, so explain to me what lose you mean?

[ololajulo]

The greed and fear index had been high over the past one month and the volume traded had been same in the last one week but lower than previous. I dont know if buyers are more than sellers but I feel traders are getting more cautious even with the consistent rise in price. They think if the price is not controlled from here the dip might be more than what they want but we will wait into the middle of the month because January has not been an active market in the past.
