Given the uncertain and unpredictable behavior of the market, I always have a lot of crypts in my portfolio, waiting for the optimal moment for them to wake up and sell at the best possible price.

That is why despite the gloomy forecasts, I still have a lot of cryptos saved as Doge, Ripple, DeepOnion, Gbytes and many others, because although it is true that their current price is well below what they reached, no everything is lost and they still have a chance of recovery.

I think we should get used to this scenario, because since the Internet has become popular and online payment systems have grown in importance, hackers have always been a step ahead of any system of protection and security, so I do not think there is more attacks and vulnerability that before, but now we worry much more than before because we are more and more who are involved in the issue of online finance.

The price of bitcoin has recovered 100% since the beginning of April, and you still have doubts that we are in a bull run? The problem is that many newbies and spiting traders still have trouble identifying signals or using the proper terminology, so perhaps many still believe that a bull run will start only when bitcoin returns to its historical maximum price, or when it registers a profit of 1000%, when for the majority of those who are involved with the observation of markets it is easy to identify the current bullish situation of the market.

We are still far from the $830 billions that were recorded on January 7, 2018, but after the great storms that we suffered in the market I think we have already started a good road to recovery.

It is true that there is still a lot of room for us to aspire to new historical records, but it is inevitable that in a short time we will again observe the euphoria of 2017, before a new dump makes us understand by force the great volatility and unpredictability that prevails in this market.

In fact, the market is full of failed projects that in their moments promised to be "the next bitcoin", "the bitcoin killer", "the future of the crypto market", etc., etc.

And it is also for this reason that there are so many apprentices of traders with great losses along the way, because they did not learn that bitcoin is the undeniable king and they looked for a substitute when its power and dominion is still manifest.

While it is true that the very nature of cryptocurrencies seems to be against everything that requires recognition by a central authority, in the long term it will be necessary a certain rapprochement between both parties as both sectors compete for the domain of the economy and finance of the whole world. The problem is finding a meeting point where users of cryptocurrencies can continue to enjoy the advantages offered by cryptological money, but with the financial protection that only the authorities of the sector can offer.

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be sufficient incentives for small businesses to accept cryptocurrencies as a payment system, as many of them are not even aware of them, and the tax authorities could establish a series of legal impediments for their use to become popular. While it is true there do not seem to be too many technical problems for this to happen, I doubt very much that this will happen massively for the next ten years.

In my opinion, the vast majority of ICOs that suffer large falls as soon as they are listed in exchanges tend to blame the bounty hunters as a smokescreen to carry out their dishonest acts, dump their coins and leave with their pockets full of money.

Otherwise it seems irrational to believe that the understandable tendency of many bounty hunters to sell their tokens as soon as possible is what drives the price of these tokens to the floor, causing them to lose in many cases up to 95% of their ICO price.

It seems to me that trying to catch each coin before being pumped is an impossible job, because in a market where there are thousands of coins subject to a potential pump of great magnitude it would be necessary to be seer or fortune-teller to choose the right one in advance, or to have a great capital to buy many of them, hoping that one of them gives us the expected dividends.

This phenomenon is explainable, because bitcoin stopped being an experiment that was not valued enough to become real money, a speculative investment for many, in the wealth potential dreamed by others, and all these are serious things so the fun of the first days seems to have gone forever.

And so formal has this become, that even all the multiple options that there were to obtain bitcoins are condensing into microjobs or freelance work online, and that has little fun.

I have only been able to recover from a loss of such magnitude in the Forex market, but in the crypto market it seems to me practically impossible because in the process of fall-recovery, many of the cryptos in which we invest our capital will die on the way or they will become failed projects, so it will be impossible to recover even a fraction of our investment, so I think you should feel satisfied if you are able to recover at least some of the lost to continue buying bitcoin and ether.

While it is true that I am not sympathetic to the technical analysis that continually release ambiguous information about the potential scenarios of the bitcoin market, I have no doubt that this year seems quite conducive to a gradual recovery as has been observed so far, because at least during the first three months the great fall suffered throughout 2018 was contained, and the fact of not reaching the terrible scenarios below $1,000 that many anticipated, it was already a reason to celebrate.

The most surprising thing about that list for me is to observe that a country as small as Netherlands, with just 17 million inhabitants, occupies precisely the 17th place on the list, with almost 2x visits compared to a country as huge as Indonesia (264 million) performed. Therefore, while it is true that in absolute numbers the country with the most visits is the United States, the Netherlands is actually the country with the most people interested in the subject.

I believe that uncertainty has been one of the most remarkable characteristics of this market from the beginning, so even the fact that the requirements you mentioned are met would not guarantee the obtaining of a substantial reward as it used to be.

Therefore, everyone is free to devote their time to what suits them, but also only those who take risks are worthy of the best rewards. If you think that bounty campaigns are no longer convenient for you, there are endless online business opportunities that could be more profitable for you.

Undoubtedly, there are well-founded bases to believe that the growth bitcoin has had in the month of April has not been due merely to speculative maneuvers, but that the fundamentals of bitcoin look healthy and consistent, so for several months ago it seemed obvious that bitcoin was very undervalued, and there already seemed to be a lot of upward pressure, which has been observed in a remarkable way this month to end.

In fact, the crypto market is so capricious that I do not think it is worth to dump any cryptocurrency even though its current status is completely abandoned, because based on various aspects I could say that many of the cryptos best positioned in coinmarketcap are true shitcoins like bytecoin and dogecoin, and yet people still use them and give them artificial life.

Therefore, as long as there is a market, there will always be hope for a potential recovery.

Although it is true that the income that I have obtained thanks to these forums have been very important for my economy, in fact I have invested very little time into bitcointalk, because one of the reasons why I decided to work independently online is because I prefer to enjoy the freedom of my schedules to enjoy the simple joys of life with my loved ones, despite certain economic limitations.

Certainly, I also got to experience the great stress that means to spend long sessions stuck to my PC waiting for some suitable opportunity to buy or sell, which made me lose a lot of time living with my loved ones. After great losses that I suffered due to bad trading decisions, I took the opportunity and took a long holiday season where I left trading for many months, and today when I have returned with more vigor and enthusiasm, I realized that I can continue to obtain good results by managing my times in a more appropriate way.

Actually I think that things would not change so much, because currently the top 20 of the market occupies 90% of the marketcap, and the remaining 2,118 cryptos are taking that small slice of 10%. So if we proportionally distribute that capital between the top-20, the increase in price would be just 10%, something very small compared to the large pumps that can be observed frequently in this volatile market.

In my personal appreciation, it is always a good time to invest in cryptos given the immense potential that the market still has, but this does not mean that it is convenient to adopt a radical position like the one that many have taken when exchanging all their fiat money for bitcoins.

I believe that like everything in life, we should never adopt extreme positions and it is better to be moderate and cautious when investing, identifying our investor profile and advising us by experts, which generally implies that we only invest in high risk assets such as cryptos the capital that we can afford to lose.
