There's a difference between Being a FUDster and recognizing a downtrend. This year's gonna be bearish or flat. I doubt we'll see prices over $18K this year. I doubt we see prices below $5k this year, or ever again to be honest.
I am not sure if you are NOT a FUDster merely because you attempt to explain your conclusion a bit more that the averabe FUDster.
You have determined that we are in a "downtrend" and you have made a pretty strong statement to cover all of 2018, which seems a bit FUDdish because you are implying to have some kind of decent knowledge or expertise without knowing and predicting a negative outcome without really backing up your claim with any kind of substantial or material evidence - besides your mere statement.
We are in a downtrend.
-60% from ATH
What's to argue here again?
So far we are getting numerous deadcat bounces and no convincing rally re-establishing strength to the 12-15k level.
300 million tether printed, which could or could not pump the price and which may or may not be fraudulent (who knows)?
Meanwhile, Bitcoin's transaction volume dropped dramatically after hitting the ceiling. Thousands of people who were trying to use bitcoin for the first time had an absolutely deplorable first use experience, and might not ever try again. Tx volume is continuing to go down. This is certainly not good if you want another huge rally again soon.
Bitcoin needs to be used as actual currency with increasing levels of tx volume in order to maintain it's value. "Store of value" only was always a laughable joke from the beginning.
