Crypto today is only pump and dump and stop loss by whales. Some people will tell you "Bitcoin will go to 50k and I will get all my money back I lost Q1 2018" but that is bullshit. That is not how the market works and especially not crypto, it won't push back to high 5 digits out of nowhere, Q4 2017 it got to 20k and why? Because every mainstream channel was talking about it and there were a fuck ton of private investors and large banks getting into the game. After the bubble burst, no private investor in their right mind would reinvest in Bitcoins, let alone alt coins. Buffet and senior Bankers from Goldman Sachs, Blackrock and Citi have all said bitcoin is not worth the hassle and the only whales that are left are some asian banks that fuck around with margins. Even if you believe in the system, big money does not come from crypto fans, it comes from banks and a shit ton of private investors that worship Buffet & Co like a god.
Bitcoin is not coming back, at leat not as a good investment opportunity. Truth hurts sometimes.
