Saw this on twitter and it almost sums up how it's going to play out. Nothing to expect in 2019 really and it's better that hopes aren't kept high in order not be overly disappointed.
But I still believe in cryptocurrency and I am sure that the rising of the market will happen and fix everything. Many of us still waiting it's happening, and we have much time to wait for that. So no matter we need longer to see the bull run comes, I think it's not a problem especially for people who still believe in cryptocurrency especially believe in bitcoin. So I will still wait for the market to rises again and meantime, I still buy and sell right now so I can keep making a profit.
I'm ok with a multi-year bear on crypto, it allows me the time to accumulate more in small amounts and avoid having to time the market with a giant purchase while still having a decent number of coins ready for the inevitable bull run down the road.
