Own thoughts and opinions...beware.
Turmoil, grief and despair is what most people feel in the crypto currency markets at the moment.
We constantly try and apply economic or stock trading models, regular waves or trends, as well as the occasional thumb suck. In the end we realise we aren't as in control as we thought we might be. Scale and volume is not the friend of the little guy.
As much as we thought crypto currency markets were in peril, so too the traditional stock markets, especially in the USA, Europe and Asia: http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/05/investing/premarket-stocks-trading/index.html. Uncertainty hits all markets, although the traditional markets are more stringent and regulated to 'protect' against crashes and bubbles.
As a young person without prior experience in trading traditional financial stocks and products, the crypto currency markets, have been a interesting training ground. Uncertainty is everywhere, but fake stories like the 'death' of the founder of Ethereum, plays havoc with these new and unregulated markets.
That said I have taken out my initial input in the markets and I am simply playing with a little bit of profit accumulated. I am more excited with the emerging technologies than the currencies and financial gain. I wish to see a group, of 10 or so crypto currencies, change the financial institutions towards more transparent and customer enabling experiences. Note I have a number around 10 in mind, I fear the saturation of the market.
Now this might all be madness, but this was a thought I had watching the price of BTC drop further down, so you are welcome to comment and critique. This is not prescribing anything to anyone, merely putting thoughts on paper.
