Yes, the bitcoin price is much lower than in 2017, I'm in a state of hold and worry, hoping that by the end of 2018 the bitcoin price will rebind in the market to its true value.
I think we have most of 2018 to be bearish and hope that the rally will soon begin to bring us to the end of the year.
There are many attacks and threats to bitcoin from various governments and organizations. This attack brought a lot of negative sentiment to the market which was the reason why prices continued to fall.
I think, indeed in 2018 bitcoin experienced a very drastic decline. hopefully next year will rise again because this failure is temporary.
