2019 may be a bad year too, I can't believe that crypto can recover in 2019, and I am even pessimistic that altcoins may never return to ATH 2017.
Honestly, altcoins are too many scams. I haven't seen any new things created by altcoins. They haven't triggered any new technological revolution. All the ideas are just on their white papers and did not take a step toward the actual action.
