I think that now the massive sale of cryptocurrency will last in the coming year.

Whales sell their coins, as they came to this market just for profit.

Some speculate that there are not enough new investors to boost the price of bitcoin as we saw last year.

But as I see it, there are not yet enough people who have basic knowledge of cryotocurrency or have actually invested in. Bitcoin going mainstream is the next step in adoption. And this would be the catalyst to growth in value and increased usage and applications.

there is no point in analyzing the market through "surveys" and things like that when the market itself is the clearest way of knowing what people have been doing. the biggest sell offs have been happening mostly in Summer in my opinion since that is when the biggest drop below the strongest buy support took place. that is the $10k support line which required a huge dump and caused the biggest panic afterwards when price hit the bottom at $6k.

and that drop flushed out everyone know was a weak hand and people eventually either held or stayed away from the market and i don't think anything has changed yet. maybe there are some who came back and started buying because of this underpriced level but people are waiting for the manipulation to end and the rally to begin before they come back in.

The article is posted around September, prior to the massive drop we have witnessed last month so it makes sense that investors are still holding at the $6000-$6500 price. But we don't know if they are still holding their positions when the price plummeted < $3000. There might be few speculators dumped some of their stash and will try to buy once we see the last bottom, or maybe majority really panic and sold everything specially when the Bakkt bitcoin future offering was pushed next year.

We will have a lot more of the same, until early February when the SEC makes their decision on the Bitcoin ETF and then we will see either a rise or a drop in the price, depending on what happened with that decision.

That is to say, if nothing noteworthy happens before that, because I heard the Japanese regulators wants to approve a Bitcoin ETF before any other country, so that might push the price higher before the US announcement. 

I feel like a "Real" HODLer!   

Got my self like 10,000 Shitcoins hanging out, worth a few bucks a piece! 

Hopefully all these airdrops, and bad investments pay out....

All storms collect information based on individuals they collect through Blockchain addresses. There are many people who own Bitcoin on exchange floors and this marks its existence. Everything is not saturated and the fluctuations still happen every day.

Many are still holding and no one is willing to sell at any price, as per reports. This means that bitcoin is just strong as other assets and no one just wanted to abort their investment through it.

With the reports, many are the ones who are into long term position. And the others doesn't have any choice but to keep on holding to provide some recovery from their losses last all time high.

yes it seems that if we just wait for crypto market this will be the hype that happened in 2018, it seems that it will no longer be possible. I myself have not become a HOLDER anymore, since October 2018. However, after seeing the situation at the beginning of the year, it seems that major crypto still has potential interest, but I'm also not sure this can last longer.
