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 "experience a bull run" so you can sell it to accumulate more of your national currency. What I'd like to see happen in 2019 is for more people to realise that freedom is worth whatever price it happens to be.

do you think bitmex shorts are a good thing for btc health or what?. knowing fully well that this exchange is giving out btc it does not have

Exchanges generally do what's best for themselves. If you have to use an exchange, try to use one that isn't doing things you disapprove of. Or, better yet, cut out the middleman altogether if you can.

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.

ICOs will increasingly become a byword for "unfinished crap" as people slowly start to realise what empty promises are actually worth. Avoid.

after all this decentralize talk do you really think we are ready to rule our self yet?

Well, for starters, I don't think it's possible to make a bigger mess than the banksters did. Also, it's a bit late to ask this question since Bitcoin users have been self-governing since the genesis block. That was a while ago now.

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.

the trend runs the market. the more people are talking about something the healthier and more likely it would grow. but i agree with you with most of your replies, i just hope this downward slope corrects itself soonest.
and yes no trader would like to incur losses, bitcoin in its function serves as a means of payment. i would not be able to buy an equivalent amount of goods with the same bitcoin now thani had before. this is not a good thing
