I see many discussions about Bitcoin's current situation as
"Bitcoin is dead" or
"How long will the price go down?" etc...
Well, here's an explanation:
Are You an Investor or a Gambler?Think about it a little. When you bought Bitcoin at $ 19k or $ 12k, did you know what you were doing or came into the excitement of the moment? If you bought for this price, you should have at least a reasoned opinion that the asset would go up higher. After all, no one buys expecting price drop.
Did you buy Bitcoins using major money in your personal expenses or used a cash reserve?I saw many people taking loans to buy Bitcoin in December 2017! This is not correct, who is an Investor, uses only the money that is left over, not the money that is needed. You can never use your money in the "expectation" of profits in the short term!
Why is the price dropping?Bitcoin is undergoing a phase of correction in its price. This is quite common in the stock market for example. When an asset rises abruptly (irrational pricing), it is normal for it to have a value correction (rational pricing).
Will the price rise again?After the high of December 2017, we could see many people, mainly without knowledge in this market, who saw news like "Bitcoin valued 10,000% in the last 6 months" and began to buy only by the excitement of the numbers. Now, these people who bought Bitcoin at $ 19,000 are desperate for the steady fall in price. Many people are selling accepting a loss because of their inexperience.
Should I Buy or Should I Sell?This is up to you. Before you make such an important decision, study the market. Returning to the high price situation in December 2017: do you think big players were buying at that time? with the price at $ 19,000? Come on! The answer is NO! They were selling. They bought while it was cheap and sold on the high. This is the difference between Professionals and Amateurs. As one buys low and sells on high, the other buys on the high and sells low. If you want to be an investor, study it. And, more importantly, do not make decisions based on news!
If you identify with this short article, I hope I have helped!
Great topic there KingBit.io
I really appreciate people like you who goes out to the field and boldly try to explain what's happening.
This article will surely educate a lot of crypto enthusiasts out there specially those who are beginners in the market as you touched major concepts to explain the statistical truth on trying to invest on bitcoin.
And with your "study the market" advise prior investing on bitcoin, we will perhaps see inexperience people par with the experts (over time though).
