I think it will affect investors, investors will wait for more stable conditions to invest. I think in 2019 there will be a change in a better direction, and that will make investors enter crypto.
Investors will be actually waiting for the bullish trend while speculators are still waiting for the dump to the crypto as much as they can. It will be there but that needs a lot of support from press and institutional.
There are several components which certainly have their own goals. Most investors certainly want the market to be bullish soon enough, because when there is a price increase investors can take some momentum to become a profit. There are also people who want the price of cryptocurrency to decline, they are referred to as a speculator who takes advantage of the situation by buying crypto at a cheap price.
Hopefully in 2019 we will get good momentum, when crypto development improves and then crypto prices increase compared to this year. We all have the same hope.
