[Music] welcome back to the world of cryptos and welcome back to the crypto corner today we're going to take a journey back in history and why because things are looking pretty good at the moment in regards to pricing and cryptocurrencies if we look into what the market is currently doing by the time i'm recording this year bitcoin is at 17 520 went up by 14 in seven days but as you can see most coins are behaving quite quite positively let's say that way and so that you don't take any wrong decision because there are a lot of people having an opinion out there and also if you look into the pressure this is coin telegraph um bitcoin up 375 percent since peter ship accidentally called the exact button readership is somebody that is a gold buck he hates bitcoin but he loves his code so he's an old guy um uh the reasons why bitcoin hit uh 17 000 uh somebody predicts here novogratz mike novogratz predicted 65 000 the price of bitcoin then we had some bankers uh citigroup predicting the price will be at uh 316 000. we've got here a bitcoin analyst has four reasons why btc price will hit 22 000 next so you'll be hearing that from many other sources too and that's why i would like to take you back in history but i said this is not going to be financial advice yeah just to be clear on this year so this is just to show you what happened in the past and why because i've been living through this year already four times so let's go back this is coin gekko and i look i clicked on the bitcoin price and went back to 2018 december 2018 and as you can see this is the bull market we lived through the last time yeah so it went up from around eight hundred six hundred dollars to twenty thousand dollars in the all-time high was at that time around the nineteen thousand six hundred sixty five dollars and if we look into the numbers so this is the number so this is going market cap um they did a historical snapshot 10th of december 2017. bitcoin went up in seven days 34 most of the other coins as you can see are in red so they went down so there was no correlation at that time that significant between when the bull market start really starts between bitcoin and the other clients so bitcoin was at 15 000 and ethereum at 440. iota somebody at that coin is probably not even under the 20 top 20 any longer is it was it four dollars one week later only one week later seven days later bitcoin was close to its all-time high 19 000. ethereum almost doubled in that week um iota went a little bit dance 8 but you see others like cardano went up 360 litecoin 110 in one week yeah so this thing when things go really really crazy a week later bitcoin went already down so it was 19 000 the all-time high and now we're 16 400 so this is on the 7th of january but other coins like here ethereum continued going up yeah so not even close to its all-time high i think in all time i was around 1 400 for ethereum cardano one dollar so um yeah other coins were still growing significantly while bitcoin was going down because people were thinking bitcoin is going down so let's invas invest in those old coins and make a lot of money that way so you have to be really really careful on where you're investing what you do to do your research be very calm in what you're doing and uh what i find encouraging at the moment is that this bull market that we're currently living through i mean as you saw after the bull market will come a true retracement and in cryptocurrencies that will be around 20 to 30 percent you can't expect that but what i find encouraging is if you look at google trends so people that are searching for the word bitcoin for example on a global basis in 2018 that was 100 equivalent to 100 percent at the moment we're only at 11 10 11 so not a lot of people outside of our little industry are talking about cryptocurrencies just imagine this thing goes out in the press and everybody starts talking to you about bitcoin yeah so if your aunt emma comes to you and asks you about this weird stuff called bitcoin or your cab driver tells you that the best thing to invest in is bitcoin then you know that we're getting nearer top but this is just a guess i'm not an expert this is what happened in 2017 looking at the at the data on how that was last time so that's um that's the journey that i wanted to show you so that you uh take the right decision um so stay calm when these things happen don't uh don't over stretch yourself and just listen to the market very carefully i mean this is the third time as i mentioned that i'm running through this year the first two times were identical you know you had these these crocodile teeth where it went up by 50 and down by 20 in in in a week and then we had um and i i also both times i was not able to read the top market so i miscalculated that one too as i guess most of the people anyway that's it from me please leave us a like it helps us to spread the word and as always i thank you very much for watching it's i'm really looking forward to see you next week again so thank you and until then bye bye thank you robert just a reminder that we're not providing financial advice but only sharing what's happening in the cryptocurrency markets always remember that the cryptocurrency markets are ever changing and always volatile so only invest what you can afford to lose [Applause]
