It's been a tough few months for Bitcoin since the beginning of the year. Where do you see it going over the next few months? My money says it will be around $13,500. The market in general is still tied to Bitcoin, so a rise in Bitcoin's price will see it move up overall. I am hoping within the next couple of years (preferably sooner) that the market will start to move independently, but the fact remains that (like it or lump it) Bitcoin rules the waves for the moment.
That's not 100% true, but you are right in most cases. Why so many smiley faces?
It's not about predicting the market but more about recognizing good trading setups with a positive edge so that in the long term you win more then you lose (thus making a profit). And a lot of traders are doing this and are living of the returns.So that's subtly different. Nobody can accurately predict exactly where the price is going but general predictions can still be worth some investigation - so I don't think they are worthless. But saying "The price is going to X, sell!" and stuff like that definitely is worthless. Just a minor nitpick though, carry on!
