Something else everyone should know,
If you have a lot invested in Bitcoin and it starts to go down, you can pretty well trust that it will go up over 50 years, so if that's your plan you're fine.
But,
If you want to make Money now, you may want to take some Risks, but to do this you will want to best understand what is going on. You should go into communities like Bitcointalk and Altcoinstalks, Facebook, YouTube, and use CoinMarketCap to check Market Caps and Trade Volume, and while Liquidity is important, there are overwhelming Factors that can overcome a low Liquidity.
The easiest way to gage this is with Steemit or BLURT, as you can see people not holding anything or not holding much, but who are active on the Blockchain, and this can be substantial and meaningful on these Social Chains, this can be measured with other Tokens and Coins by checking Social Media activity, like Shibu Inu did on Facebook, you can check for Tweets, these kind of Meme Phenomenons, or Social Phenomenons, the Government is calling them Viruses now because they are Viral,
And if you are holding 1, 2, 3 BTC, you could come into a Market and be the Liquidity, so if you do your research, find a very active community, with a Dev who let's you know who he is and has been around for a while and won't disappear, you can start to take measured Risks and create moments like Bitcoin, where it went from $5, to $30, to $100, to $1000, you can make that happen to a Coin, you can be the Liquidity and do Currency Manipulation like China in a way, they will Sell their Currency until it makes things Cheaper, they use their Currency to Inflate and Deflate the price of Commodities in other Currency Values. You don't have to go that far, but if my Coin is traded against BTC, say STEEM or BLURT, then the Value goes up and down with BTC. If I own 0.00001% of the entire Bitcoin Market, if I move that to the BLURT market when BTC is down 10%, I can probably still have BLURT go up 500% or 1000%, then Sell some to Buy Bitcoins at their Bottom, so as Bitcoin goes down Buy into something kind of Stagnant but Lingering, and with a Niche but still growing it's inner Niches, you can come in and raise the Price, if you own 20-30% of a Currency, you pick the Price on the Market. There is no reason you can't make Money in Crypto when Bitcoin falls.
Ok, so you may have read my Economics 101 post which gives simple concepts, and compares Crypto to Fiat to Stocks. So, now I am going to start Economics 102
The first one was about Supply and Demand, Whales and Trade Volume, Spot for buying, etc. Now I am going to get into larger concepts.
I am going to start with Politics. Politics can effect a nations Currency or Stock Market. For example, when Mosul was taken over by ISIS and all of the Gold in the Bank of Mosul was taken, and the Investment Opportunities went bleak, their Money became much less Valuable, even though after the fall of Sudam Hussein the British Government just printed the Country of Iraq new Notes. The opposite of that can be seen in 2 ways, and that situation can also be compared to the effect of a Cu-De-Ta on the Currency or Stocks. But the opposite would be Vietnam, who had a Civil War that America got way too involved in, and then at the end opened up their Markets and their Currency did well and Investment in Vietnam continues to be good. A Similar effect is Trump. The people with a lot of Money and Stocks and Companies on the Stock Market in America, all just got Tax Breaks, so they are willing to spend more, and take bigger risks, and they all trusted Trump not to do them wrong because he came from the same Environment as them.
Then, an example of something similar but not exactly the same, is Brexit. When Brexit happened, everyone panicked. Stock Markets dropped in America, as well as Britain and Asia, and then the British Pound went down in value. That was not good for Britain, because anyone with savings, or anything, had money that was worth less than it was the day before on the Global Market. But that was good for everyone else, because you could buy British Pounds, and you would get more of them than usual for USD. So you could go on vacation in Britain and get things for Cheaper if you were starting with USD. Or, you could buy British Pounds and wait for them to go up in value.
So that is how Politics can effect the Economy. And it is the same for Cryptocurrencies. You can move back and forth within Markets, and there are situations that hurt and help coins from within and without.
This is similar to how in the Stock Market, NYSE, DOW, NASDAQ, etc, when stocks drop, or in a recession for example, Gold goes up because people are selling stocks to buy Gold, so it goes up.
