I was just wondering what you think about the recent crash, how it relates to the rumours about government regulations in America and what actions you will be taking over the coming months if strict regulations are announced?

The crash is natural, no govt is responsible for this.

The price of BTC reached ATH within 4 weeks, and the market reached at oversold zone, it is not strange having a Trend Reversal attempt. If you look at last week's MACD Histogram, you can see a solid Bearish signal, RSI also gave us the Price Reversal Signal.

What about the current situation? The market is pretty much fixed and The Price is Bounced from 16000 Support zone, It is a great buying opportunity for making long positions. If the market able to hold 16000 support zone during this week then we will get another attempt to break 20K Resistance.

The American government can not regulate bitcoin.
Believe me, bitcoin is not that easy to be affected by any news. Even if it’s news from a very influential country though. We know America is a superpower,
but if we look at it all the time, for bitcoin it’s just a wind that blows and can’t make bitcoin fall. We can see the evidence today,
if bitcoin is increasingly needed by many people.
Eventually, bitcoin will return to growth and continue to grow. So there is no need to secure assets by withdrawing your bitcoin.

They had years to do something and they failed. There's really no point in trying to damage something that isn't trying to damage you, especially when you're leaving the office.
Trump is saying bye bye to the White House and he's busy protesting and saying that the election was a fraud. Bitcoin is not even a blip on his radar.

Valid point, it probably hasn't even crossed their minds.

Why people are really fan on connecting dots which arent supposedly to be relevant at all? No government or administration will affect or would able to do something to Bitcoin.
Just like on what had mentioned that imagine on how Chinese government did really make such attempt but they did fail. Bitcoin is too big to fail and to be controlled even
though it might be connected into some fundamentals or news or happenings but doesnt mean that it will completely be controlled by it.

I also don't understand why they would connect everything to Bitcoin price maybe next time when a well known actor or even politician died and the price collapse they would say that it is connected,
The person who died pulled the price down dragging it .

It's due to lack of experience. I was concerned about this so asked the question but the answers in this post have taught me that I need not be.

We don't have to worry , as you know Bitcoin is Not controlled
By any government, you just have to be your own bank
Even if USA try to restrict the use of Crypto but the whole world can't stop using it.

Is it time to pull our money out of Crypto for now while we wait and see what regulations are going to be announced?

Trump administration might've got different plans for the cryptocurrency, but after the election results Trump might've planned something to make the upcoming government suffer out of the issue. Fortunately through bitcoin and the cryptocurrency legalizing nothing can be done at the moment. So we can confirm that Trump administration can't do any damage to the bitcoin anymore.

I do not think that you should worry and withdraw your coins, there is nothing to be afraid of on Bitcoin, I do not know the impact of this news on the recent decline of Bitcoin, but what I know is that I fully believe in Bitcoin and believe that he will succeed in overcoming all difficulties as it always did in the past. During it's short history, Bitcoin led to many difficulties, but he managed to overcome them all and stand up to them. Therefore, I am completely convinced that we will succeed in overcoming all of that.

Well, a President of any country can do damage to the free market in their country. They can declare a ban on almost anything! But Trump won't do anything to influence bitcoin. I don't think he's ever mentioned bitcoin before, it's certainly not on his mind now.

The bigger worry to cryptocurrency and bitcoin is the fact that Trump won't be President any loner and the US economy and political future will stabilize. This stability reduces uncertainty and drives confidence in the US Dollar and other fiat currencies. Fear in the fiat is one of the biggest drivers to flee to cryptocurrency...at least it's growing that way.

Perhaps the bigger influence to bitcoin is how Wall Street and 401ks are beginning to open up to the investment. This is truly a door to previously unaccessible demand.

did trump already loose on biden . biden has the power now not trump .
trump has a chance before and if he really wanted to regulate btc he can do that on his years of service in the government but for biden i dont think he will do such things as trump planning .
for now guys on the u.s must not panic and they shouldnt sold out or pull out thier money in crypto because things can get better as what they arent expecting and for the guys that are outside in the u.s we are going to be fine .

I don't know if it's really easy for states to regulate crypto. The more they regulate them, the more they legitimize them. Then they have a big problem with convincing people that their fiat (dollar, euro etc.) that they're printing like madmen are better than bitcoin ! If I'm going to declare all my BTC holdings, income, dealings, etc., then I will start asking for my salary to be paid in BTC too ! Things start like that and soon enough nobody wants the official currency, like is happening in countries like Zimbabwe or Venezuela.

States are better off dismissing crypto IMHO, calling it something for hobbyists and criminals.

The exchanges are the FIAT gates and whoever controls those gates also controls crypto.

Not necessarily. The US is not the world, you know that? There will always be FIAT gates. Even before there were exchanges, there were FIAT gates.
I'm not arguing that it can't hurt bitcoin but it can't kill it, afaik.

The US is the world now.

I know that much.

If they weren't... how come they ... here is a couple of articles to wake you up:

U.S. indicts suspected Russian 'mastermind' of $4 billion bitcoin laundering scheme (in Greece)

John McAfee, the 74-year-old software magnate-turned-crypto-bull, has been arrested in Spain on allegations of tax evasion, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. His extradition to the U.S. is pending.

Not convinced?

Tell me then... have you ever heard of Germany arresting a German citizen in the US for evading taxes in Germany? Ever? (you can replace Germany with anything else)

NEVER.

If the US do these things then people would express their opinions about everything that's related to US, even the US elections because they affect us.

These countries' extradition treaties with the US are ridiculous, that's the main reason. US taxes are not very high for a developped country so I can't really agree with people doing tax evasion there.

France will extradite murderers to the US, after a lengthy procedure, and a promise from the US and states that the death penalty will be off the table. For lesser crimes, very difficult. Case in point Roman Polanski.

For now, yes. In future it's possible enough people will largely detach themselves from the fiat system. I myself would much rather work for and pay out in BTC and never head back to fiat. I've rarely heard governments voice the possibility of a closed loop economy and that's for the best.

If they started attempting to stick their sausage fingers in that it would be unspeakably crude and totally unworkable. There will be a degree of transition. I hope it goes far enough while it's still under the radar.

Why we should be afraid of one government regulations? I mean our country have different regulations in crypto currency who cares for US. It can only affect the market once but it will recover again as long there are many countries supporting it I don't think we need to see it as a big deal and besides crypto currency is better compare to US dollar . .

I don't think that what's currently going on is related to anything happening in the US. The price was pumped a lot, largely due to FOMO. And given that $20k is the ATH, the pressure and the wish to sell started to build up very fast when the price reached $19k. Thanksgiving could contribute to some selling, as the price tends to go down a bit during major holidays because people need money for presents, I think. But that probably wasn't the main trigger as well. It's just a natural correction, and judging by the past I think that it's reasonable to expect the price to go further down, regardless of whatever Trump and his administration do or don't do.

It's not kindda like that because bitcoin sudden pumped was happened for PayPal cryptocurrency regulation. They buyed all minted btc. And price dumping as natural. So i dont think its related to elections.

I'd say that it grew not because of Paypal buying because Paypal's trading volume is much lower than that of Binance or Bitfinex. People bought a lot first because of the news and then because of the FOMO rally that really was the reason of us reaching 18 and 19 thousand. Without FOMO we'd probably landed somewhere at 16.

Trump's administration won't be able to do much because it's over for them. They're leaving the field and Bitcoin is such a small and unimportant thing for them that they will not even bother with it in that last month in the office.

I think the most worrying thing is that whatever Trump's administration will do at this point to crypto, will be left at this state for years, because Biden's administration will have so much to do now, with coronavirus, foreign policy, internal problems and so on - they won't have time for crypto. Hopefully they won't have enough time to make any dramatic regulations, or maybe these rumors that come from Coinbase's CEO are simply false and there's nothing to worry here.

BTC are antifragile -
for more than a decade:
the more you tries to control it, and more you help to proliferates.

For any entity in power I think it is best to leave it alone.
