Why?
1- Study the past chart movements, they’ll tell the story. Major corrections are healthy and necessary.
2- People will take profits at the psychological cliff that is Bitcoin $10k.
And MOST important:
3- Institutional (Wall Street) money WILL eventually take control of these price movements. And when they do, they’ll shake you guys out (the little guys who have no understanding of price movements, TA analysis, etc) and when you all sell after a major drop, they’ll happily buy your BTC. At that point, we’ll see MUCH LESS volatility, because ALL of these guys trade their hundreds of billions on chart analysis, which in turn creates much more predictable price movements. Herd mentality.
Most of you guys here are concerned with forks, and pumps and dumps, and ICO offerings and whether it’ll hit $50k in 2018 when in reality, the really big guys are on their way to shake you the fuck out of the value YOU created. I think most of you will lose your asses. Do you know how to trade the way they do? Or did you buy a handful of coins at $2k and are up, not because of some continued investing geniousness but rather simple luck in buying into an asset that has seen only one overall chart trajection thus far? They’re not going to buy in at $10k, that I can guarantee. But they DO want in. And they need to get in, if Bitcoin is going to retain its value in a much more stable way as it weathers its scalability, usability and regulation growing pains. Exchanges know this, that they need societal integration, and that it won’t happen without big bank investment. That means the little inexperienced guy has to get out of the game.
Is Bitcoin the Friendster to the MySpace, who in turn died for Facebook? Possibly. But it’s whats happening now. It’s fun to speculate and dream. With a 1,000% increase how could you not? But please, take a step back from the warranted excitement, and see the bigger picture. And it is MUCH bigger. You all made the kill but the lions are on their way for their share.
REMEMBER, IN A MAJOR DIP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO DO NOTHING.
All of us here are just predicting and since you are a newbie, I think it would be better for you if you read about bitcoins. Because for now, some of us here is thinking when will be the time that bitcoin will reach the $10,000. Is it by the end of the year or this coming year? If there will be a correction or crash then probably we should be ready for what will happen. Future is not certain anyway.
