These were the price predictions of Cryptomete most irresistibly for 2018 by Bitcoin experts

During the course of 2017, several virtual currency advocates and analysts expressed their opinion on the encryption prices for 2018. At that time, Bitcoin (BTC) and other virtual currencies climbed high and the bulls controlled the market. Most of these predictions seemed logical at the time, but turned out to be illogical in 2018.

In a recent post by Larry Cermak on The Block, he collected the most important price forecasts and summarized their correctness or not. According to him, these influential personalities tend to make these predictions, accurate or not, in order to receive significant user involvement on social media.

"When the forecasts come to an end and they will prove, in most cases, to be completely wrong, many people have forgotten." Given the low cost and the high upside, the forecast of price action in the short term it is essentially a strategy of hacking growth ".

Explain that these analysts and figures can build their analyst name if they make a good prediction. In the future, they can remind people of the prediction they have made and how it has been revealed.

However, if a prediction is incorrect, you can delete it or change it as soon as new information is available. In general, the wrong predictions can be linked to unpredictable market factors.

In general, these forecasts tend to be inaccurate and attract speculative investors, some of these are retail investors. In general, these new individuals entering the market do not realize the risks associated with investing in virtual currencies. The CEO of BitMEX, Arthur Hayes, has confirmed to make predictions to maintain volatility in the markets as they earn with it.
