Topic: Bitcoin's historical low and the lessons it teaches us - page 3. (Read 1628 times)
IMO, it is highly irrational to believe that the price of bitcoin will continue upswing without a crest and a trough. The best way to evaluate this price and come to a reasonable conclusion is to find the best value which will serve as the crest. To me, $19,000 do not seem to be the right crest because it is a highly inflated crest.
Let this be a lesson for the people that from buying pizzas to a coin that is worth a fortune now. So there is hope. A fallen market will rise, even if it takes time for ti.
Yes you are right, we have no reason to worry, because the Bitcoin market has collapsed earlier but from there we have come up a lot in the present situation. And hopefully we will move further in the future. So there is no reason to worry.
It is right that the fall of bitcoin is really historical because in the history to bitcoin this kind of fall occurred for the first time but it also gives us a good lesson that crypto market is really unpredictable anything could be happen here.
i don't know why coinmarketcap has become popular for people as a go to when they want to check the price! it is the worst place you can check the price from. it gives you the average, the charts aren't accurate,...
Unfortunately, most cryptocurrencies, especially bitcoin, news outlets (save coindesk and CCN) use CoinMarketCap's information and charts as a reference for prices in their daily "bitcoin/altcoins is up/down–bull/bear" articles. I admit, I often use CoinMarketCap to check prices as it has tools and markets lists that make navigating exchanges for trading opportunities easier. CMC is very good when you want to find where each coin is listed or find their links such as ANN topic, website, source code,...
I think we should stop spreading these 100X or 1000X stories. Bitcoin has indeed experienced rapid growth, but over-exaggerating these will only strengthen speculation in Bitcoin and do nothing for community growth.
All it does is attract get rich quick noobies. The fact of the matter is this is what a majority of the people that joined the community in 2017 are. Bitcoin is not about getting rich, or even making money for that matter. Bitcoin is about changing money. Spreading stories about moonshots harm the market in the short term because of these get rich quick people. They will see their plan isn't working, and they are actually losing money so they panic sell, which further prolongs the bear market.
Stories about what Bitcoin is and why its important should take precedence over any story about making money or becoming successful with Bitcoin.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I feel like stories like this also improve optimism that the community and adoption is growing. It may also encourage outsiders to dip their toes for whatever reason they may have. Some users don't particularly have high opinions on speculators, but I'd say speculators are one step closer to being actual Bitcoin users than those who don't own any at all (most of them do trade and experience the technology first-hand), and are thus still good for the community and adoption.
I see where you're coming from too. Talking about nothing but the price could encourage some bad practices and even worse mentality. We can't really stop that from happening though, so we might as well embrace it and look at the bright side.

I believe you are right where people shoud not panic in every bear market that will occur from time to time as btc is still at a tolerable price level. Every bear market, people shoud have to accept that it is just a normal thing to happen on btc due to it's volatility and after several days or weeks btc will manage to move up again and making an up trend movement.

I understand the meaning of your writing, we should not panic with this down-market situation because there was once a worse decline than this and now more can be expected than before.
