If you look at the daily chart of BTCUSD one can see that it is almost dead by now. No significant movements to any direction. In engineering language one can describe it as an exponential overshoot curve followed by attenuated oscillations (ringing). I wonder if this is a permanent situation?

That doesn’t mean, BTCUSD is over! Mate, the value of crypto market is really incredible! Maybe very soon, we’ll see such an outstanding move like 2017 for sure.

The expectations are quite opposite.

There will be opportunities in both directions ,I never rule out that possibility,charts can tell a lot but it only takes some positive data/news to flip direction.

Bitcoin and cryptos are here to stay. Where the prices will go - we'll have to wait and see. But the way I see it in the longterm - it will only go up.

You HODLer. 😀

Can you blame him?
I'd HODL some too.
Just enough that it doesn't hurt much if/when it crashes.
And at the same to a good enough number so that it can bring in a handsome profit if it ever blows up like it did last December.
Accept the loss as experience

1. 'I [would] HODL some too.' Do you HODL or not? You either DO or you DON'T.
2. Fine if you HODL, but don't be an investor that 'diversifies':

“Wide diversification is only required when investors do not understand what they are doing.”
- Warren Buffet

'The most successful investors don't diversify. Rather, they FOCUS and specialize. They get to know the investment category they invest in and how the business works better than anyone else.'
- Robert Kiyosaki

Surely spreading your risk is a good idea though?

Results speak for themselves. Conventional advice recommends spreading risk: ergo the lack-luster results most people.

I don't see any issue with trading crypto currencies that have a fixed supply. It's better long term(store of value) than holding fiat that slowly inflates.

I think, investing on crypto with a long term view (like couple of years) would be much profitable than trading!

I theory that makes sense but crypto is not a mature market. It is stull developing. It could be banned or regulated or there could be some huge theft of funds that drives away investors. These things could all mean that crypto like Bitcoin could go from $6000 to $0
