Is there a “bubble” in the cryptocurrency market?

The financial term “market bubble” refers to the fact that the price of an asset is too high to exceed its own value.

For example, the dot-com bubble of 1995-2001 is a typical example. At that time, the stocks of technology companies skyrocketed only because of market sentiment, and had nothing to do with the company’s earnings and development potential. In March 2000, the Internet bubble burst. The problem now is that we cannot determine the true value of cryptocurrencies. Even if a large number of investors treat cryptocurrency as an asset, its essence is not an asset. At present, cryptocurrency has not been used as a means of circulation, which has hindered currency valuation.

In any case, we should be cautious and rational when dealing with emerging technologies. It is more likely that the value of Bitcoin and Litecoin has not been overestimated; if there is a bubble, it is also those new cryptocurrencies that are spawned by market sentiment. It can be said that the cryptocurrency market is similar to the Internet bubble of the year. The value of high-quality stocks (such as Amazon) actually exists; but companies such as Pets.com that completed IPO to liquidation in just 268 days are obviously useless. Its table. Therefore, whether the market is overheating can only be judged by time.

In either case, you can use CFDs to go long/short the market.

From the end of 2017 to the beginning of 2018, the price of Bitcoin soared to $20,000, followed by other cryptocurrencies. From January to February 2018, the cryptocurrency market collapsed across the board. The price of Bitcoin plummeted by 65%, and most cryptocurrencies collapsed. Obviously, there was a bubble in the cryptocurrency market. This makes traders wonder whether there will be another bubble. The value of most cryptocurrencies comes from their development potential and whether they can promote social development in the future. However, if there is no institutional recognition, the potential value is still just the potential value. This is another issue worth considering.
