in analysis •  6 years ago 

Hello steemians
Over the past few months,the crypto currency market and atmosphere has extensively experienced an unfavourable price valuation situation commonly known as the BEAR PERIOD.

Its more like a worst nightmare come true,prices of various coins dump at free will,lack of regular inflow of cash into the market,massive decrease in the total market capitalisation and overall weak morale and drive by crypto dudes...

This bear market and so called dip has been existent for up to 5 months till date which the main cause was been tied to massive sell offs by some whales according to some crypto analyst and bloggers.

I strongly believe that these sell offs are just a result of many causes of the dip and until these causes are tackled accordingly,we would always have sell offs and an unhealthy crypto environment

My reasons and analysis are stated accordingly below but I will evaluate each cause in separate posts for easy reading and to form a comprehensive series

ADVENT OF LENDING COINS

Lending coins started to exist in the crypto space as early as February 2016 when the first lending coin BITCONNECT came into existence through a fund raising campaign and flourished successfully to hit a market cap of over 2.5 billion dollars before its decline and shutdown in January 2018

Lending coins were a pyramid(scam) type of crypto currencies that offered daily interest for holding it which was done through lending(lock) it out for a fixed period of time,there were different packages and profits to be made according to how much money was invested into lending coins.

Moreso,after the successful thrive of Bitconnect,over 500 other ponzi coins sprouted into existence which all came into existence through various an ambigous private sale and ico that took place in various price increase phases in which an average of 50million were raised per ponzi coin.

Lastly its useful to note that crypto dudes also got used to massive gains from lending coins. the circulating cash been poured into these ponzi coins cant be estimated but will account for at least over 100 billion dollars....which all vanished into thin air after the death of ponzi coins.

ANALYSIS OF THE LENDING ERA AND ITS EFFECT ON THE CRYPTO SPACE

Diagnosis

50 million raised x 500 ponzi coins = 25 billion dollars

Bitconnect = 2.5 billion dollars

Over 100 billion circulation capital invested into ponzi coins which made it thrive

Notable Variables From The Diagnosis
The money invested into these ponzi icos were invested by 3 set of people listed below
•~ existing crypto investors
•~ new investors
•~ whales

The result of this is that the money invested by this 3 set of people is crucial to crypto survival and smooth existence

•~ existing crypto investors: buy and trade coins from time to time to create some sort of balance in the space,although their goal are focused on short term accumulation and flipping...it is still healthy for crypto....most individuals in this section lost their capital to ponzi coins

Hence low trading volume,less individuals to invest average sums in legit ico and related schemes....the funniest part is that the organisers behind these schemes dont believe in crypto and thus cashed out the money realised from their scam projects.

•~new investors:are responsible for new inflow of cash into crypto that makes the market bullish and somewhat stable,the main problem associated with this group losing their money to ponzies is they have no standard knowledge and experience about crypto and thus panic and sell off their remaining portfolio[bitcoin,ethereum etc] thinking the whole system is a vicious scam!

•~whales: are the backbone of crypto,their capital is the fundamental behind the price of most coins,they are usually known to be the silent deciding voices behind most successful projects...most whales find prospective projects they believe in and pour in most of their cash into it and even buy more when there is a slight dip.

bitmoji-20180822044120.png

During the lending era,most whales got greedy and pulled out their capital from prospective projects and invested in ponzi coins because they saw it as a bigger catch,most of them lost their funds to ponzi coins in the end.

This drastically affected the crypto space as most of the circulating cash of numerous whales were tied in lending coins which means less investment into ico's which further explains why most ico's dont acheive their fundraising goal anymore.

I now know what caused the dip, i thought as much cos there are no airdrop like this previous year unlike this.
Thanks for this @amec

You welcome.....there is even more in the coming series.... Lending coins were just a silent factor no one seems to be talking about
Thanks for stopping by

Great writeup man. Crypto is getting more interesting and annoying at thesame time.

Haha.... Absolutely
The fact that we learn everyday keeps me going

This is really good analysis
I came into crytocurrency space during the era of these lending crypto project.
Being from the fact that I have come from a bad history with Ponzi schemes, I never looked at them for a moment.

Education will really aid people under the crypto space better and this will better position this space to progress.

Truth is one just has to be very careful......most lending coin promoters were fully aware that it was a ponzi and a risk.... Legit and delibrative investment is always the best in the end

This is an interesting write up with facts. I hope I do understand this crypto dip and rise someday. Besides very funny and dramatic pictures. Thanks @amec

Lolss
Me too, i hope i understand.

@rebeccafl i will be explaining more in the subsequent series......you will understand better with all the pieces together..... Cheers

Ziiiiiiizzzziiii😍
Thanks so much for the nice words and stopping by

Wow this was dope, so you are saying that the whole rise of crypto was based on a big lie, and then people realized the lie and now its returning to the land of its fathers... I love the pictures its really intriguing and creative

Exactly..... These ponzi coins are something people are not talking about...... Only if everyone could do it right.... The crypto space will be a better place.....tnx for stopping by

You did an excellent exposition here. Now I have an insight on the causes of this dip. I just hope the market recovers.
I await your next post bro

Nice one bro

Tnx...... Sure.... I will publish the next episode in some hours

Lovely write up man... Talk of lending coin, heard of it when I came into airdrop.. Anyways I was a novice more reason It didn't interest me.. Yeah whales control the in flow and outflow of Crypto market.. Can't wait with what you will write on Ethereum blockchain, that one alone is one of the reasons there are so many shitty coins in the blockchain. Kudos dear.

Its one of the main reasons..... Posts coming up
