Maybe we will see bitcoin reaching the 3000$ bottom by the last quarter of 2019, it will be the bottom and bitcoin will start a new bul run after that.
I think you might have missed to place 1 or 2 before placing 3k. 2019 will be a better year and infact the 2018 might be also better than its present situation as December is still left and things might change for better in Dec for 2018. With that start 2019 might also move upwards and ends with 5 digit mark and not reaching 3k levels.
