We have read a lot of stories about millions of new registrations on stock exchanges, people are moving to cryptocurrences and its January and almost the entire market is red. I understood some immersion, but it should encourage people to start shopping because the price was much higher than today, but not. Day after day we see the red color. Fall is maybe faster and faster. So I ask where all the new people and money are?! Everybody looking for the x1000 coin, but when no one buys, how you want to achieve that?
If the whole market is under whales and push the whole market down, it hurts everyone. Not just the media that loves to write negatively about cryptocurrency. It will not help anyone. People will be afraid to invest and cryptocurrency get into a recession.
When i will leave now, i will be still in profit, but im disgusted by this all. Maybe i will return to stocks. To may they ara normally rise.
To be honest, what have been your expectations when entering the crypto market? Making easy money in a few days as buying some random coins? Money is not made in a few days (except you bought into a rocket directly pumping x1000 after your investment...). Be patient, choose your coins wisely, invest time in research and buy at the right spots. The market will reward you in time (also the bunch of people entering the market now over the upcoming months).... Wait for 2018... We have 11/1/2 months left. It is not relevant whether your portfolio is "red" now. Trust the decisions you made in case you made them wisely.
