Bitcoin price drops - all cryptocurrencies drop - prepare for upcoming bear market
So allright, we experience a short up-trend after the negative media exposure from JP Morgan and China banning exchanges. Indeed the price went up 1000 euro's in two weeks. But I don't think it will be sustainable. Over all crypto's are in the red-zone and losing value. I predict an upcoming bear market for this year and also a considerable time of next year.
All crypto's went up too fast in a too short time period. That calls for a correction but since we have already experience many corrections, and governments are doing all they can to discourage people from getting into crypto's, the negative media exposure will continue and I foresee legislative law in more countries concerning exchanges. They might not ban exchanges like in China, but they can certainly make legislative law and through regulations , for example by requiring people to registrate themselves before they can use exchanges, and then placing taxes on every single transaction, make it very discouraging for people to by, sell and trade. Let's face it, most people are in cryptos to make a quick buck and are in it for the fast money. And who can blame them considering how governments extorte poor people and deprive them of wealth and prosparity. So I am awaiting a HUGE market pullback, then when nobody wants bitcoin that's where I start buying. Then waiting patiently for prices to go up after governments become more lenient in law because they have bought up all bitcoin. Then sell and make profit.
Keep dreaming haha
I'm telling you, governments will not sit back and let people get wealthy. They are already planning to regulate this. Sure, you could invest some small amounts, but people saying Bitcoin will go to $10.000 of $100.000...if that happens who says people can actually cash that money at that time?
sure govs will regulate the market, like they did with "Internet" years before. But, regulation is not bad for the market, that will increase peoples trust in Bitcoin and cryptos in generally... just my opinion
I tend to agree with you @ernesto78. Also recently saw this post that shows just how heavily the central banks and governments are working on blockchain and cryptocurrencies. This bull market in cryptos will not last forever.

There is no stopping the blockchain and Crypto. China can't stop it with its bans every couple of months. Sure governments will try to regulate it but there won't be the huge pull back like you're saying. SUre some coins will drop, mostly because they are garbage and don't do anything, but the coins that do, they will shoot the moon.
If governments regulate exchanges and pass laws that people get taxed for transactions, will cause the price to drop and not shoot to the moon
A government cannot tax and regulate a foreign exchange, a few countries will regulate exchanges in their countries, maybe. But then the exchanges will just change their address to a nation that doesn't, problem solved
If you decide to sell some bitcoin through an exchange, that money will end up in your bankaccount. This transaction can surely be taxed if government passes a law that obligates the exchange to tax the transaction. Or if governments taxes the income (selling of bitcoin) coming from exchanges directly through your bank account. Perhaps a solution could be to de-centralize exchanges so that no nation's law is applicable.
Hi, ernesto78! I just resteemed your post!
I can also re-steem and upvote some of your other posts
Curious? Check out @resteembot's' introduction post

Looks like just a little correction.
For all heavily invested in bitcoin....I hope!
Fingers crossed
Regulation will be a very short term negative and a huge medium and long term positive. Regulation will give trust to individuals and institutions to put their money into crypto.
2018 is going to be at least as big as 2017
So how do you see this regulation effecting the price? Just wondering about your opinion
Nice post @ernesto78
