Is crypto bubble popping is a good thing?

[leea-1334]

Bubbles must pop for that to happen however!

I don't consider this as a bubble pop since the price downtrend is moderate and not the typical dump like what happened to Luna ehich erase all the gains for more than a year with just few days of dump. I think that's the real definition of bubble and not what happening on Bitcoin which is just correcting and bounce whenever it hits a support. A bubble pop has massive selling pressure from panic traders that bought the peak.

Less than 50% from ATH is not a bubble pop and a moderate price downtrend? I guess we have very different perspectives and definitions for bubble pops then

I see price bubbles as real events but not one big bubble for BTC,,, many bubbles, and this one is several popped ones in a row already.

Luna was not even a bubble pop, it was a bubble machine broke

And do you think crypto will ever be thought of as a currency at any point, or are we stuck with this "asset" mentality?

It is a need for us to accept the fact that people aren't ready to adopt the system, the new form of currency created. Though we could see it was a little bit disappointing how the world respond to this, yet, we couldn't be too hopeless to think about the dying end of this technology. It apparently will just take time for the world to accept the change, we can't rush the merchants and business owners as it was literally challenging knowing the volatile nature of the market.

But what is important for now is we see some changes and adoption in crypto. We have already hear some countries are in the transition from fiat-crypto. Likely, years from now we aim to see more countries will move to it.

This is not the first cycle when the cryptocurrency market has become bearish. It is obvious that without a deep correction, further growth of the cryptocurrency to its new ATH is impossible. Use this time to buy proven coins at low prices to form a briefcase before the subsequent bullish trend.

Its decentralized nature I think is a barrier for cryptocurrency to be a perfect currency. The price is very stable, this is why ordinary people who are not familiar with cryptocurrencies always say it is a bubble. But for those who have jumped here, they think that cryptocurrencies are big investments with high risk because not all cryptocurrencies will become bubbles, some will definitely be a good future.

The original purpose of cryptoCURRENCY was to be form of a decentralized, anonymous, borderless, unstoppable CURRENCY. Unfortunately, due to rapid appreciation of the value of Bitcoin it attracted unsavory characters who have turned into a trillion dollar speculative investment industry. Most "investors" are a lot more interested in a pump and dump scheme to "get that Lambo" rather than support something that has potential real world utility, like Helium (wireless coverage), Nano (fast feeless payments) or Monero (anonymity).
With the market crashing and a lot of speculators getting burned, is it possible that we will see a cleansing of the industry with people being a lot more selective into what they are investing in?
Do you think we will in the next 3 years
1. See thousands of me/shitcoins collapse bringing attention/money to hundred or so most innovating currencies.
2. Almost the entire industry will collapse, leaving only a dozen or so largest cryptos standing.
3. Memecoins/shitcoins are here to stay.

And do you think crypto will ever be thought of as a currency at any point, or are we stuck with this "asset" mentality?

The projects that were money grabs from the start, like SOL, Luna, and Shiba will fail. Projects that are building new technical standards and have business usecases, like XLM, XRP and ICP, will prosper coming out of this bear market. That said, there will always be a new batch of meme coins popping up, you can't stop it.

For many people crypto is a currency. Period

There is also nothing wrong to call it an asset. After all, forex is all about that in fiat.

Truely, most people come into crypto being hungry for the enormous gains that bitcoin has produced over the years and not as a new and more complicated to understand mode of payment that almost nobody in their country accepts. It is the basis of why crypto become more of the trading asset than currency.

I feel every time the bubble pops, I get the chance to buy more - so I am happy about popping the bubble. The entire market can go anywhere it wants, I will buy bitcoin if it goes below my last buy price. Traders should have the mindset like that.

just don't get stuck holding the bag on memecoins!

In 2014 the presence of altcoins was not this popular and then only Bitcoin was making the market wave with steady ups and down in price, yes the altcoin market have hard impact on the Bitcoin market but for the long term the purpose holds only Bitcoin unless you are willing to gamble with your money only then you should buy altcoin for easy 10x market in whichever directions.

That is the reason why adoption could be growing super high. I mean imagine the fact that there are nations which have crypto as a legal tender and that would be the biggest entry point for any nation. I get that it wouldn't really be something that would be ideal for any of us but that doesn't mean that we should be forgetting the current situation.

I get that we should be hyped about the increases and all that but when it is down we shouldn't be too upset and the legal tender situation was long time ago when it was higher and it might be lower right now in price, but the more places that end up doing this means the more price will go up.

Today is the red market, many my assets are also dropped, when the market is red and difficult to recover, the best thing we can do is rely on new coins which are usually maximum pumping when they are still registered in exchanges, and in my opinion bubble popping is a good thing to get a big profit in a short time.

[kryptqnick]

When the prices go down, there isn't much benefit to anyone from it. It gives an opportunity for people to buy low, and it can also be eye-opening, albeit painfully so for those who didn't take the risks of crypto volatility seriously. Other than that, it's not a good thing. I don't care about shitcoins, but the fall of the market also makes top coins take a hit as well. They don't fall as low as shitcoins, but they still get hurt, they don't benefit from it. Also, it makes people more sceptical about Bitcoin, more wary of having anything to do with it. So it's not leading to the survival of the strongest coins as a good thing. It leads to some coins bleeding more, and other bleeding less.

IMO, I think that the so-called crypto bubble popping is not good in my ears, because I feel that the bubble popping thing has full of negativity if we associated it with money and investments.

As we have observed a bubble is likely to explode anytime as it touches hard and sharp surfaces so if we associated with an investment involving money it's just like throwing your money in a garbage bin if you are going to invest that so-called bubble-like investment, I don't see any good at it. it is just like a scheme IMO and I believe the crypto industry is far from that comparison.

[justdimin]

Bubbles popping is always a good thing no matter what the asset or asset class is. Popped bubbles create an opportunity for the new investors to get in. Why would anybody invest into a bubble knowingly? It is like throwing away money. If you are responsible with your money, you wouldn't do that. If there is a real estate bubble, it should pop. If there is a stocks bubble, it should pop. If there is a crypto bubble, that should pop too. Bubbles are unhealthy for the economy. They should pop eventually.

I agree, when things get too overhyped for their own good, the bubble pops and then it destroys all the fake ones that got attention because of the bubble, and leaves us with the ones that will do good in the future when it reappears. That way we know that we would be making a good return, and make a good profit, but at the same time we will not be destroying too much time wasted on those bad projects as well.

Bubble is basically the "purge", where we destroy the whole bad things and leave all the bad stuff behind, and look to the future with only bright eyes. If we can survive this, which we all know we will, then we will recover to be much better.

The meme coin bubble popped but real cryptos like HBAR, FTM, and CNDL have a bright future ahead of them. These are some of the protocols that the future internet and finance will be built upon.
