Topic: I am surprised !!! I am confused what is happening right now. (Read 28809 times)

This continues already for several years. I have invested around 3k USD into crypto currencies and right now all of them are worth 200 USD. I am still waiting for things to get better, but slowly I am loosing the hope.

Crypto currency investment has full of surprises because the market performance is really unpredictable that is why it was considered risky investment too. Like now that Bitcoin is dominating of up to 70% over Altcoins because there are lot of Altcoin holders are now moving to Bitcoin therefore we will need to be more vigilant,more updated and keep informed of every market movement for the sake of our investments.

The reason is Bitcoin dominance the crypto market almost half percent. And that makes altcoins become suffer more and more.
If we look back on 2017 where when Bitcoin goes up and so does altcoins, then in this year I don't think it will be same. I don't know exactly what's happening, but I believe that it will be recover sometimes.

It's normal to feel surprised but you have to be equipped with the proper knowledge to know what actions you'll have to perform during these hard times in the market. Crypto is so volatile and everyone should remain patient to avoid getting additional losses. Instead, invest your time in looking for projects that has huge potential with making efforts to be listed on big exchanges like Binance and acquiring sealed partnerships to help them in the long-run. Patience is the name of the game here in crypto and that's one trait that every successful investor have.

You just have to act like a pro, stay calm, watch the market and buy in dip for cryptos that has established usecase, an example is LEDU

I think that all this fall in prices for all cryptocurrencies on the market can be explained by the fact that prices were initially very high and now prices are falling. Then we will see more stable prices. In a word, speculation.

Nothing to be confused with the recent fluctuations, there were time we need to adjust actually with the latest changes that might occur in the marketplace. The entire crypto community see what's happening, and big whales were in control of this matter and we just need to give fully our trust to them as well as trusting our asset to grow in the future.

Crypto currency is starting to move into the mainstream financial markets.  Companies like J.P. Morgan, Facebook and many others are talking about tokens.  Fidelity has a cryptocurrency clearing and custody company.  Fidelity Digital Asset Service is adding institutional investors like hedge funds and family office. 

This is a good thing for companies with tokens, and in my opinion especially Security Tokens.  And it is also causing investors to look at investments in tokens just like it would be investing in stocks.

But basically, in stock, and I believe coming tokens, these are the main four things that control the price of a stock or a token:

1.   Supply and Demand.  If more people want to buy the stock or token then those who want to sell it including the company that issued the stock or token, then the price will go up.  If no one wants the stock or token and there are a lot of people trying to sell it then the price will go down.

2.   What is the earning of the company whose issued the stock or token? Simple market capitalization.  Earnings are revenue and profits the company makes. Any company that is not earning revenue is not going to be around long term unless they can continue to raise more money with the stock or token.  And then the supply and demand part in Point 1 come into the picture.

3.   Investors look at the capitalization of the company, which is the price of the stock or token times the number of shares or tokens outstanding.

4.   And fourth, the industry itself.  Investors will be looking at the cryptocurrency industry itself and deciding by many factors including points 1,2 and 3, if first they even want to invest, and which companies look the best to invest in.

Apply these stock market reasons above to any company’s tokens you own and that will give you somewhat of an idea of why a stock or token is going up, going down or just sitting there at the same price.

Hope that helps

it went worse and worse for the last 1 year huh? all the altcoins went red more and holders have been mostly suffering since the end of last bull. i hope the market recovers back like old times.

 It is cryptos which takeover and furthermore. Market reckoning is setting the path for tokens to rise again, so it is time to tokenize efforts and put them up to the market. For such an activity, there is MintMe now on, so users can create their own tokens and traders can take their chances by holding any of already listed ones.

in my opinion, trade did not stop at all in the cryptocurrency market, even at the end of 2018, when the price level was up to the last 2 years.  I think that if this trend continues, we will be able to reach a new level of the cryptocurrency market by the end of 2019.

I suggest to you to not take it so seriously because it can affect many things to you. If you see your portfolio in not good condition try to think about the future that eventually your portfolio will recover and value of every coins and token will increase.

all possibilities can still occur, but seeing the market now looks the biggest possibility is a gradual increase. the market looks calm but stronger. because trade is still increasing.

It seems to me that after the greatest bull run in the crypto history and after the most bloody bath we had all after it, nothing can surprise us. Now, the market seems to be very calm, but probably the storm is coming?

Hey,,, take it easy friend. This is not even the worst period. Remember in two previous cycles people saw Bitcoin drop by more than 90%,,, and if you remember during the last bull run, guys like Charlie Lee also said be prepared for $30 LTC (and it happened!). So this is normal, do not be terrified. This is why you must never put in more than you can lose!

Dont be that surprised after all the whole market is really volatile and that effect can be felt at the lest period so i think crypto is seriously like that just remember that if you have the tendency of a heart attack then take it easy on yourself with the whole market

Cosmos will be to watch now https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/cosmos

I do not agree with you. The crypto market is subject to manipulation. I do not think there will be slow organic growth. On the contrary, I am confident in a sharp jerk when the time comes. Understand, the whales will not give you time to think and analyze the situation. Growth will be rapid. Whales need to sow FOMO.

The market is recovering but it's still slow, don't let you sell your coins, because if you buy it at a very high price, automatically now you still have not benefited, holding a coin with a very long period of time is boring for the impatient

Oh, now, I am confused as the market is not running up so fast as I expected. However, I am really happy that bears at least hid somewhere or ran away. Now, I am waiting for a surprising bull run.
