Where are all the bitcoin's Moon boys ?

[UmerIdrees]

Every time the market is green, we see a lot of youtube and social media influencers come out to guide people and to predict the targets for bitcoin and altcoins. But as the market dumps, we see no sign of these moon boys. Why don't they come to advise us in the these times.
Maybe they are unable to face the public because they have given too much unrealistic hopim to the people ?

I don't know, how it becomes an unrealistic prediction!!

Every trader and hodler said that Bitcoin will cross the previous ATH after halving, is that unrealistic?
They said Bitcoin can surpass the Gold marketcap, is that unrealistic?
they predict Bitcoin will touch $60K by end of 2021, is that unrealistic?

which one is unrealistic I don't actually get that.

Bitcoin is not one direction financial system that goes only upward all time, correction is also a part of the system you have to consider it.

Currently, I placed my buy order from $35K to $20K. if it will go below $20K probably I will be out of funds. And I will Hodl till next Bull run. Throw out your emotions and be realistic.

The crypto market is unpredictable. People who are into the cryptocurrency try to spread positivity rather than negative news about the market. Considering the previous year growth there'll be some break for the bearish move. The best players of the market consider it the time for investing more, whereas the rest starts to panic thinking whether the market will recover or not.

With hope the influencers make predictions, but the market has outlawed the predictions. Possibly now certain people's prediction have come true with which we can understand who has does the true study about the market than making random predictions.

It's very much easy to take profit in a bull market & it's easier to provide a signal in such a market. But when it comes to the bearish season, it's not easy nor a lot of people can make a profit. Only the most experienced guy can do that. I was following a few Twitter handle lately; they are inactive for the last 2 days LOL. They used to share their signal and when trade hit the signal, they were likely to post & take the credit. As you said, they are not anymore there to say a word or two LOL.

They could and likely a few are just silently buying coins and hoping the dump continues.

Why make a bullish prediction at 40k when you can save yourself the effort and buy at 35k when everyone's panicking?

Predictions are predictions, there are enough that have been unrealistic and enough unrealistic ones have come true throughout time. If people think something's unrealistic though, why listen to it anyway?

The problem is very simple. With the price movements becoming more and more unpredictable, there are no actual specialists in that "field". (And if there would be any, they would be busy making money, not posting around)
I was expecting 100k get touched before Christmas. I was wrong. I also warned that the future cannot be predicted and people should be careful with what they do.
I am no specialist, but even now I think that there's a chance for the trend turn bullish. Of course, I may be wrong too.

Want hope? Zoom out the chart. You'll see that it already went once from 65k to 29k then to 69k... you can hope (with me) that it'll happen again (but again, I can't guarantee anything). Good enough?

Actually, the YouTubers will still be creating content, but now just with bearishness, with some "market crash", "bitcoin to 10k", with the video thumbnails with red candles and with their mouths agape. That's how they roll — they'll create clickbait videos regardless of market sentiment.

Moon talk is seasonal, you should know that already  
when the market is green they talk moon, when the market is red they talk bottom, it is that simple, lol, truth is emotions are very high now, so YouTube influencers needs to be cautious of what they say at this time because most investors only concerned is to exit the market, cut lose and never to come back (especially new investors who bought at the top).

[Alanaz]

Interesting question but as you said, they are missing and still undetected till date
but this is natural, they are content creators who will make anything to create an account on platforms, whether YouTube or others, up, both in traffic and finances there.
but when things like this of course they will not make stupid things, because indeed they will not dig their own graves with the speculations they say of course

Hours before your post ...

Year 2030:

Most of the guys who are active here from 2020-21 would tell you similar stories. From my part, I first invested in Bitcoin in 2021. Back then I had purchased BTC at $60,000 per coin (a few months later, the rates dropped to $30,000 per coin). There were some isolated threads in this forum back then, claiming that BTC would hit $1 million or even $10 million in the future, but hardly anyone took them seriously. Me too, never thought that it was realistic. The good thing is that I still have a small part of what I purchased in 2021 remaining in my wallet. I know a lot of people who sold all of their coins within a few years. Can't blame them, right?

Thanks to Sithara007

The message is still valid.

The Moon boys were here 10 years ago, now you have Moon men ... they became great.


Btw.: $30,000 as the bottom can change, but the target remains ... mark the words of the Moon men.

The bullish excitement is not only limited to YouTube, but other social media platforms as well. Periods of booming market is the time when most people get interested in crypto and traffic on social platforms and even on forums like this one greatly increases, those "influencers" simply just follow the hype and use it to the advantage, talking about what coin would do 100× in 2 hours.

When the price drops and people lose interest somewhat, those left in the space are either seasoned crypto enthusiasts or holders who regret not selling earlier. This reduces the audience for such moon posts and the accounts hibernate or change strategy. The dip period also does the job of filtering out social influencers without actual content.

You would really get ashamed whenever you do let yourself out and told them about positivity whenever there are some serious dump in the market which I couldn't really that blame off those moon boys out there to have these kind of feelings.

We do have our own will and mindset to tell up things since this is a speculative market since from the start which you are fully aware on what would be the thing could happen along the way.
We don't need some motivation from those people yet its better not to anticipate or do look for those people yet its normal that each one of us
does have their own words and views towards market.

easy answer is. when people want to sell. they are trying to then coax in buyers. so when the price goes up the sellers want to get the price as high as possible.
when the price goes down they shut up.

you can spot these guys very easily. if they are telling you to buy while its 'green (going up) its because they are ready to exit.

i am a hoarder i have no intension to sell. so i happily tell people when the price is going down that its DISCOUNT where buyers can buy coins cheaper.

however those wanting to sell wont influence people about times of discount to buy, and instead only influence people when the price is going premium.

so the smart advice. never listen to people telling to you buy the hype(pump). listen to people telling you to buy the dip(dump)

[A62662]

That could be dangerous advice. There is an old saying, never try to catch a falling knife, it will cut you going down (hard). Meaning if you buy at 35K and it drops to below 10K, you will kick yourself for taking a huge loss.

[hatshepsut93]

The permabulls are still saying that it's just a dip, the hype content creators are saying that crypto is done for, real analysts are trying to make their own predictions. It should be a common sense to not take investment advice from content creators, because you are not their client, you are their revenue source.

And with Bitcoin you can at least hodl and have a very high chance of making profit in the long run, as long as you can sustain your unrealized losses. But with shitcoins you will never make a profit once they start dumping.

[mynonce]

..., you are their revenue source.

Exactly.


Bitcoin is created for the long term. We have a target of use and not a price target.

[Russlenat]

All of them are bullish, they cannot make money when the market is bearish as dump people are not investing money. If they will continue to talk despite the dump, they will only make mistakes, so they better choose to shut up and wait for the current situation or the market to turn bullish again.

Their job is just to create hype, not to create panic.

^ We don't really know what is the reason but I think creating content is what they need and I think for them, the bearish market will become subscriber becomes panic. There is no accurate prediction ever, those experts claiming themselves are not really an expert, they are a part of social media destruction, and giving unrealistic predictions is pretty normal for them. So I think the right decision is never to listen to these streamers at all.

[BIT-BENDER]

Speaking of Moon, who noticed that the Moon Carl, a top crypto-currency influencer has changed his Twitter handle to The floor, I guess the dip has supprised everyone, well I never counted on their prediction, I only saw them as hustlers working for their pockets so nothing surprises. I would just advice newbies to avoid FUD and FOMO this period because we would have alot of it, especially coming from low market cap project, always do your research.

[franky1]

All of them are bullish, they cannot make money when the market is bearish

i am a bitcoin hoarder. i can many money when its bullish.. but i can also make money when its bearish

first you have to define money(bitcoin and fiat are both currencies)

for me i have funds on both currencies..

my btc increases in value in a bull.. my btc increases in amount in a bear
my fiat increases in amount in a bull.. my fiat increases in value in a bear

there is opportunity in both sides especially if you have value on both sides to take opportunities

you can flip the mindset and stop imagining you can only "buy" from one and "sell" from the other. once you start to pretend that bitcoin is the legal tender and fiat is a asset. where you flip the terminology. then you too can see the dynamic change.

when the 'price is high'
sell bitcoin to get more fiat.
buy more fiat using bitcoin

when the 'price is low'
sell fiat to get more bitcoin.
buy more bitcoin using fiat

and thus take advantage in both directions
