The bear market will not end in 2018. It will continue, albeit slowly. Our hopes are in 2019.
It is entirely possible that the bear market is going to last a lot more than what people think, they are hoping that a recovery at the end of this year happens or that a recovery in the next year happens and it's entirely possible that we are not going to see recovery until 2020 or even until 2021, it is something that I really do not like to think about because that means that I will need to hold my coins for a long time for a loss but if that is what I have to do then I'm willing to do it.
