In 2014 bitcoin gave us -57%.
In 2018 it already gave us -71% so we're ahead of the game.
We have no exact idea what loss will be on 31th December. But to expect profit, as the guy that I replied to asked, would be really silly.
Actually looking at numbers I am not sure if you are correct. On January 1st price of Bitcoin was $14200 to have -57% price will need to be $6106 at end of year. What is totally possible. To reach -71% price had to be $4118, what it was not this year so you made a miscalculation. Probably you looked at December ATH price and not a 1st January price of Bitcoin.
Lets focus on Monero to. Price on 1st Jan was $350, to be -57% should be $150 at end of year. What is also quite possible. Biggest bear markets periods of this cycle are behind us for sure. But that dont mean that we will not have long periods of sideways where people will losing hope. They joined crypto for big profits not that their bags stay same.
I think 2018 is Monero's year.
Emission wise, 2019 was designated the Monero year.
