Let me get this straight 2019 will be better than 2018 but don't expect too much from it ,even if ETF and bakkt get approved ,that won't trigger the next bull run ,let's start waiting for the next bitcoin halving because that's when the next bullrun will triggered.
We won't be able to know the crypto market perfectly. Bitcoin is always unpredictable so as much disappointment as 2018 we have dreams to be good with Bitcoin in 2019. I think Bitcoin will increase the price but slow and stable.
I think that HYIP has passed and now the cryptocurrency market will leave only good projects that create new technologies. All these factors should allow the market to rise slowly and steadily. I really hope that you are right.
