Last bear market lasted for almost four years.
I think this one will not be so long, but another year or year and half will be needed for the market to be prepared for another bull run.
We are expecting a bull run since spring 2018.. Already so many predictions were made about the future prospects of the cryptocurrency market, that all users of cryptocurrencies have already ceased to pay any attention to them.
We can expect and hope for anything, but growth will begin when it is needed, and whatever we do, we cannot change it! We can only wait for better times!
