CRYPTO BLOODBATH

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Last days Crypto market is dropping really hard and guys who do technical analyses (I'm not a fan of TA) say that if BTC support line of 8400$ is broken, we will revisit 6000$. Altcoins are dropping even more and if BTC really revisit 6000$ than we will see some incredibly cheap altcoins. Like every market, Crypto market has Ups and Downs and all this what is happening is normal.

What is not normal for me in this situation is human nature and how we behave when market is dropping.

When market is Up and prices of all coins are high, people regret why they didn't bought when prices were low. Now when we have low prices, almost everybody are afraid to buy.

For me, it is very hard to find real reason why people are selling their coins when market start dropping.
Only thing that is understandable is margin call but in my opinion you should never buy with borrowed money.

For example, EOS is at 5$ and STEEM is around 2$. It is really hard to find reason to sell this coins at this prices. STEEM already have important use case and Steemit is growing its users every month.

WHY would somebody SELL STEEM at 2$?

EOS is my favorite token and I believe that it will have huge usage. I don't wanna talk now about it's use case.There are lot of articles and videos about it, if somebody doesn't know what EOS will be used for.

My point again is, if you have invested in EOS than you probably know what will EOS be used for and how huge potential is in it.

If that is the case then again WHY would somebody SELL EOS at 5$?

Sometimes is really hard for me to understand human nature and behavior in market drops. On the other side, that is good for me and I will use this prices to buy more EOS and STEEM.

There is few more quality coins out there ( in my opinion 90% are shitcoins without any current or future use case) at good prices and if you believe in its potential, maybe this prices are good for you like current EOS and STEEM prices are good for me.

I would like to here your opinions about current crypto market situation.

This is not investment advice, if you wont to invest you should do your own research.

Sort:  

I have only one advice during such messy days:

HODL

HAHAHAHA this is the greatest video ever made! HODL!!!

agree ahaha HODL to the MOOON!! HAHAHA

@doomsdaychassis - excellent vid! HODL the line... the Spartans will be the backstop for BTC. IMO volatility in the Cryptomarkets is increasing- just like volatility in the stock and bond markets in the US and world exchanges. It's really a supply and demand thing, although when some big traders sell it can move the market & that's what we are seeing I think.

hodl_the_line!.jpg

LMAO...nice one!

Hodl!!! Fino alla fine

Oh, man, I had a laugh : ))

That was awesome!

we are all in this together so we gotta HODL and resist the urge to panic sell.

video of the month

you spelled it wrong....it's spelled "HOLD"!!!

If you read as English then it’s wrong but some how it’s gets popular and people in crypto world always use term ‘hodl’ instead ‘hold’ that meant to be hold.

You are correct, and the full form of that word "HODL" is "Hold On Dear Life"!
Which essentially means buy and hold for longer period.

HODL isn't an abbreviation, it was a typo (for HOLD) that stuck as a meme in the early days (like "magic internet money").

Could have sworn it was HODL

No, he has it right. Hold is a very basic statement. Hold on For Dear Life is something very different.

In the crypto world it is spelled HODL !! It looks wrong but to crypto enthusiasts , its spelled right ! lol! 😊👍

In traditional asset ecosystem: you HOLD,
but this is next generation of assets, money, currency and next generation of Democracy as a whole. that's why you: HODL there!

Thanks, very good post !!!!

Awesome Work!

Keep it up!!!

@cryptoinvestinfo

Yer hodl and buy buy buy... do not sell..

lol its hodl meaning 'hold on for dear life' lol. but in answer to the post of why would people sell at a low price if people need the money now then they will sell some people dont have the luxury of holding invested money there are bills to pay lol! please upvote for visibility please thanks =]

It funny how people are eager to sell their entire life when btc is on a bull run because of FOMO but behave like a baby when the market is tanking out of FUD. In my own perspective people like these got into crypto selling their mortage or through bank loan. As any reasonable person would advice, "always use your personal money you can afford to lose into crypto investment", but believe it or not.
CRYPTO IS HERE TO STAY

Thanks for the great write up. You are totally correct about people's thinking they should have bought when it was lower and now they are scared to actually buy the dip. It's all because of the FUD. FUD caused the dip but keeps many from buying the dip even if they had planned or hoped to. The governmental FUD has caused many to sell and kept many from buying.

I do agree with you that there are some really good bargains in the alts right now. Steem especially is really cheap right now. It's a great time to buy if you are strong enough to not be scared of the FUD.

thanks voting it!

well at least we know the cause and effect and that it will end soon, after all they do not have an endless supply and the people to whom belonged those coins are hemorrhaGing from the thought that the guy is selling them off. Funny thought the same FUD as when the theft happened originally but now there's way more people involved and the market is incredibly resilient. The reality is that it could happen to any bank like in europe and the bank would have to shut down maybe go bankrupt if someone withdrew 3.75% of it's capital, but that didn't happen.

most people can't stomach the volatility of a market, that's why they sell, volatility is nothing for me since cryptocurrency is quite young and need some room of improvements. :)

its on a downtrend now for next few months

Maybe longer because of the ongoing Mt. Gox Bitcoin sale only a quarter of which is done.

It has been a many moons since bitcoin has hit the 200 dma twice in a short period of time, so more likely will be a slow recovery from here....FUD HODL.

Hold On for Dear Life

My thoughts exactly: HODL.

Some great points made here!

My thoughts are similar.............

Many newbies get involved and do not research coins before investing, seen so many crap coins get pumped and then many left holding bags at the top wondering where all the money went.

Please do your research and invest in coins based on road maps, team, pain it solves, coin supply etc.

Current coins way undervalued at the minute (In my opinion) include.....

QSP
AXP
TRAC
VEN
UTK
TNC
ACT
STEEM

Also regarding the continued drop we are seeing has a lot to do with this which I saw today from Alt Coins & Beyond..............

The Mt Gox lawyer/Trustee that is assigned to selling the Bitcoin per court order is doing it at the same time each day (most liquid time)....We're in this until he gets the amount he wants & seems to have a set amount for each day he's allowed to do.
He refuses to do off market selling/auction so as not to affect the Bitcoin price.
The fact that the market keeps trying to bounce back after such huge one time dumps is impressive (I day trade Bit so watching it 24/7 on my screen) but this could take us down a bit until he's done...It's good for the market to redistribute & lower the price but it's hard to watch & wait idle while this plays out...But at least we know what, when, how, etc.

It's going to be a while before another altcoin run. Bitcoin will rise first than Alts catch up cycle continues. Done this for year but ppl like to learn the hard way lol

Why does steem have to go through bitcoin? Why isnt there a service yet that allows people to buy steem directly?

Why would you create a super sonic fast, sophisticated blockchain

and then have its course be decided by a slow and old giant?

Would be nice if we could buy directly STEEM...

The most important thing here is to have aproper mindset. People who see crypto as a magic opportunity to become rich are in panic now. People who see it as a complex business that require a lot of work and expirience understand that losses are a vital part of it. Now is a good time to read more, get yourself educated on technology, marked conditions and etc.

Yes, I agree. I'm hearing calm voices and some are in panic mode.
A couple of saying that help me in the past.. "This too shall pass" and remember the famous words of Joe Dirt, "Keep On, Keepin' On". That's exactly what we should do. Better days ahead.

Every time I buy I'm prepared to hold. I'd like to sell some to make more to buy more, but I'm not there yet so I'm following the when people are scared, they run and this is where I get bargains. Also learning about all the back stories and social media that comes with this.
