I believe that 2018 is a turbulent year for BTC. The sudden increase in sales prices this year (January) surprised many people. I believe this is a stepping stone for the development of electronic money. All you need is patience and expectation that is the key to success in the field of electronic money.
I think that is the common virtue we should always practice, being patient. There are a lot of times that the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are dumping and in a certain time, it is pumping and gave us good profits.
From my experiences, there are patterns and it is the same to other cryptocurrency investors. When the price dumps, a lot of people are being disappointed to the bright red price changes that is happening but we all know that it is not always red, it also turns green. Even though it is not continuously turning green, we all know that it will be getting there just like the past years.
