Unfortunately this will be a big redistribution of welth from poor to rich... Big players are preparing the ground to invest in cryptocurrencies, probably throughout 2019.
The big loosers will be people who will only start investing in last phases, and the ones who burnt themselves in last phases of 2017 and throughout 2018 and are already out of the market, and don't want to hear about crypto untill it proves to them that it is there to stay for good (again late phases, before next crash)...
You need to be a contrarian and ready to risk to lose, to come out of this game as a winner...
