what do you all think would happen to BTC come 2019?. are we ever going to still experience a bull run or is this the best time to abandone ship?
Contrary to popular belief, Bitcoin's purpose is not to "

and what do you think would become of ico's future. the last big thing happened in 2017 but these days one would have to pray to the gods to catch on any good wave.

and if you check google trend you would see that activity is dying down slowly
Hype comes and goes. Sound fundamentals and underlying principles are here to stay. Consider me unconcerned about what's trendy. "Flossing" (AKA dancing like a bellend) is considered trendy. That doesn't mean I should care about it.
