"There will be more pump so hold on guys don't sell your bags" this is the word of other people mostly deceive us and now I'm already aware on this kind of hyping since I already lost a thousand of bucks from believing on those people. Now its best for people to do their very own analysis so that they can determine whether its good to sell or not and they will not get brought by people who tell you that because all of this are purely deception.

I don't think this is a scam but the predictions and analysis are not strong enough so we take a high price and fall not only you who did that, I personally also bought bitcoin at a high price and now I can only wait for the next ATH because this is not a mistake but a patience which will be worth in time

Mine was Bitcoin hitting $100k before the end of 2021 and BNB reaching an ATH of $1k  at the same time. I don't want to mention that of doge coin surpassing $1 and Shiba inu making it's way to 50cents. I think many fell for some of this careless speculations and relied solely on it neglecting our own research in which i too was a victim. What speculation did you fall for
I did not fall for it. But as far as i remember, one thing that i became a victim is that putting some of my funds into dogecoin before hoping that its value will continue to increase and won't easily drop and lose. But i guess that losses was destined to happen because i started to become more greedy and was not able to control myself anymore. I just put my funds without even considering that Elon was only a mess and that same goes for dogecoin too. Now i've learned my lesson and i won't put myself again doing the same mistake.

You are not alone there. A lot have come to believe that bitcoin will surely hit its new ATH at $100k but it ended with a bear price. The reason why i never sell most of my coins when bitcoin hit its first ATH because i firmly believe that bitcoin will certainly end up with a new ATH before the year ends. However, not selling those times does not mean i'm losing either, but those who bought bitcoin when the price at its peak price and resort into panic selling afterwards, those were definitely end up in a huge loss.

It's true as long as we haven't sold the Bitcoin we have, even though we bought at a high price and the Bitcoin price is now down quite deep.
We cannot be said to be at a loss, because we can still make a profit, if the Bitcoin price finally reaches the target we have set. Therefore,
we don't need to panic by looking at the price of Bitcoin, which is currently still very difficult to rise again above the $30k price. Moreover,
we know that the popularity of Bitcoin continues to increase and the demand for Bitcoin is also very high. That means it's only a matter of time
before the Bitcoin price goes up again. Therefore, when deciding to invest in Bitcoin, we do have to be patient, because indeed generating profits
from Bitcoin cannot be instant.

There is nothing wrong in dreaming high but to end up and calling yourself a victim for the fantasies you had is a bad thing when the market did not reach any values you dreamed in a short period of time Cheesy. Every Dick and Harry can predict any valuation without making any sense and if everyone starts rallying behind them, who is to be blamed. Be realistic and then everything will be fine  Wink.

Realistic approach is, wait for the next halving and then see whether your expectations are meet .

Well that has been the approach to that $100k prediction isn't it? the next bull run will give us that amount minimum and yet in the height of the run and upon reaching all time high of about $69k, the obvious target is that 6 digits.

But it didn't happen making a lot of people sad, but they we shouldn't put to much expectations in the first place, let the price moves into it's normal pace and then we see where it will go.

Even if we did our own research, many of us will end up agreeing on that speculation and there are even some that speculates much higher than that. The prices speculated for those coins are still realistic, that is why many agrees with it.

It may not happen on the exact date as what they speculated but for sure it will happen on the right time, maybe next few years or so? Again speculators expect the same thing for this year but I don't think it will occur based on the market situation now which is pretty complicated. We should not blame the speculators or ourselves from believing it and it's totally fine if they don't occur because it was only a mere speculation anyway.

I would be very happy if bitcoin could hit $100k, BNB hit $1k before the end of the year because that would allow me to sell most of my bitcoin and BNB at that high price.
I think people still have high hopes of seeing bitcoin go high again and that makes them prepare themselves more by having more bitcoins and BNB and other potential coins.
I do not speculate or have any forecasts at this time and tend to just enjoy the market movements that occur.
But I also keep trying to buy low and sell high because I see the potential to trade still available.

Never below 40k when ATH was 68k is kinda dumb of those people to post such things,,, but I guess they all are hiding now  Grin. We all know BTC can fall to almost 80% away from ATH once the bear comes but that is worst case scenario, which is why I thought 5k was very good as it was just over 80% from almost 20k back in 2017.

Even if Bitcoin never falls to 70% anymore that is still just below $20k.

That is why until now bitcoin is still holding on at $20k because it is impossible for bitcoin to drop to 70% because it can be said that the worst thing will happen after 2021.
And when this inflation ends we also do not know.

I guess people like you just simply never actually bother to read posts and threads, and titles,,, This is about the most deceitful speculation and we are literally sharing stories of people who said 'can never happen' 'impossible' or 'worst thing' and you have just yourself come out and said something along those lines.

Impossible is not a word in crypto.

I cannot remember exactly when, but in 2018 or 2019 I guess,,, thinking it would never be possible for Bitcoin to go below $5k ever again, especially when we spent long long periods near 10k, everyone said accumulation and consolidation for almost 1 year and I believed it.

You imagine how I felt in early 2020 I honestly thought I was going to lose everything.

I have believed in a number of this kind of prediction or assurance. Just recently, I remembered even known people would post on their social media accounts that Bitcoin's price wouldn't be falling below $40,000 or $50,000 ever again. But not only did the price of Bitcoin fall below those levels, it even went down far away from those. Even myself thought days ago that however bearish the market would be, it is almost impossible for the price to fall below $30,000. But it has.

I've only ever invested in Bitcoin. I haven't touched any stocks or altcoins. I've shown an interest in certain altcoins, but not your typical ICO's. Mainly those that have interesting technologies. Although, they hardly ever make it, since people prefer meaningless hype, and promises rather than actual functional, and logical ideas. Although, Bitcoin was definitely the exception there, but at that time it wasn't competing with a million other options.

I mean I technically withdrew some Bitcoin Cash, which made me absolutely disgusted even if I didn't willing fully invest in that, due to the hard fork. Still though, felt disgusting. While I definitely didn't fall for it, I'd say that's the most deceitful thing I've ever witnessed here, mainly because of the politics outside of it.

"Inflation is temporary."
Inflation is definitely forever Cheesy. I do understand this was probably sarcastic, since I'm not convinced you ever fell for this. Although, maybe inflation will become a thing of the past, at least somewhat. Bitcoin is deflationary by design, and if Bitcoin were to ever replace the current money system, we could technically potentially eradicate the problems associated with inflation or at the very least mitigate the rises. Obviously, Bitcoin replacing the current money system probably is rather unlikely.

Majority do share up with the same impression and belief or hopes which those numbers are been the common point on which the community do really look for specially on that FOMO state where
everything is really rising on where we do really have that impression that we might push up with those levels without even thinking about next-in-line kind of correction or sell-off with the
market which could really make the situation totally opposite on what we are projecting in our mind which is something that cant really be avoided.

In 2016, many were speculating what XRP will be worth and because someone were saying it could become $10 I spend the 200$ left in my account to buy as much as I could while its less than $0.10. Its the first time I experienced the bull run in crypto so yep was excited to see price goes high. Nobody said I need to dump when bear market starts. I still expect the $10 whike the price is dipping for months.
Xrp did not reach 10 dollars but it reached over 3 dollars. You will still end up with a nice profit if you sold on that price but unfortunately you didn't because you became greedy, which is also normal for newbies and this is also the reason why they enter crypto, not because of the underlying technology but because they hear that you can be rich with it. No one would tell you what to do because that was yours investment, not them but if you have a friend, relative, or someone that is close to you and it turns out they know crypto better than you then you are lucky because they could warn you if what is coming ahead. People that are close to us are concerned especially if they are also the one that recommends you to join crypto.

I fell for it because XRP was also an old coin. I thought the older the coin, he higher its price will be.
You are actually right with this. Old coins have more potential. If you still have the xrp with you, you can wait and maybe soon the price will reach 10 dollars or more.

Aren't speculation and manipulation basically the same thing?Creating hype and demand about a financial asset and selling pieces of that asset at a higher price after a certain time frame.Manipulation is deceiving, isn't speculation deceiving as well?
No because speculation should have some logic behind it even if that logic is based on some pseudo-science like technical analysis but still there is a reasonable argument behind expecting a certain market movement.
For example you speculate that because China (really) banned bitcoin mining in their country there could be a panic and people sell their coins hence decreasing the price. That's logical.

Manipulation on the other hand, is pure fakeary. For example the manipulator lies to the sheeple following him to buy a shitcoin because he is fooling them into believing that shitcoin is rising. If the sheeple believe him, he makes profit. There is no logic here.

I thought we would get to a new ATH by last April, but I was wrong about that and then the price rebounded in reverse during the previous days.
In general, it seems that we will not have a new ATH this year, so we should be more realistic about predictions.
As for the price of altcoin, its price is zero and is only suitable for short-term investment.
It seems that Ethereum, which was an exception, is moving towards that classification. Cheesy

Ah yes the good old ICO days where $hitcoins promise so much but fail
to delivernothing much has changed. So many people spent precious BTC
on useless projects, only a few were quick enough to offload at the right time.

So yea I ended up being a "bag holder" for some $hitcoins which I liquidated back
to Bitcoin at a loss obviously

In my very early days in Crypto I was deceived into thinking a "high yield interest program"
HYIP was a sound move, obviously lost on that and learned a big lesson too. Not really
speculatory but was naive.
That was definitely a weird period. There were tons of projects that made so much return that people started to invest into silly stuff. That is mainly caused by people making profit with other things, so when your bitcoin goes 2x, or even 5x, that means your 1k becomes 5k and people start to use that profit by investing into something silly, which makes no sense to me but people do that all the time during hyped periods.

This results with people having some tokens that worth nothing, but they just gave it a chance. Just watch, if the market goes up enough that bitcoin becomes 100k one day, there will be plenty of useless tokens people invest into all over again.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
For me, the speculation of Bitcoin and BNB could come true, but in 2021 it didn't work out, so many people said it was carelessness, even though I believe that their potential is very high.

About Doge and Shiba it's very reckless with excessive speculation especially Shiba wanting a penny, even I bought it when the hype but now it's all back to basics again it's the same carelessness on coin memes.

My assumption is that Bitcoin, Bnb and ETH are possible to hope for.
