A quick recap of cryptocred’s ideas
https://medium.com/@cryptocreddy/bitcoin-bull-market-considerations-de3aa0b57029 First of all, I’ll say that I’m confident that BTC will reach new heights, however, I think that this new growth in an upcoming bull market won’t be as rapid as it was in 2017. There are some reasons:
1) In 2017 majority of people just knew about a revolutionary blockchain technology, and was fascinated by it. Nowadays there is a different situation — this word is now on hearing and people won’t go here just for a new technology
2) In 2017 people knew Bitcoin only from his growth-side. If the crisis of 2013 was recalled, it seemed like something long forgotten. Now every newcomer will remember crisis of 2018 and will think 100 times before investing big money here.
3) From the technical point, the price grew in a free flight — there were no any resistance levels. Now, after this market dump, there are a lot of resistance levels have been appeared and the price will have to break all of them
4) Probably, many of people who now have minus balances will want to exit of crypto to fix their funds from losses as soon as they became green.

* 1. Blockchain and Bitcoin are totally different in my opinion. And I don't think that is one of the reason why they got to bitcoin in the first place. They went here because of money, it is what is it and doesn't matter if bitcoin runs atop blockchain. As long as people will find a new investment and make profits they will go for it.
* 2. You saying that newcomers will not go back to market again. I agree that there have been a lot of newbie investors who got burned. But I think they will be back soon, that is when the market bounce back.
* 3. There are a lot of resistance as well back in 2017. But just like we saw, people are willing to pour their cash because bitcoin was not yet regulated during that time. We might see correction in 2017, but we can bounce back easily in matter of weeks because of so much money flowing that time.
* 4. Yes, that human nature, and as what I said in point 2. But then again, when are we going to see the market going back again? At least 5 figures will be good to say that its safe to go back and re-enter the market again.
