to be honest, at the moment I am quite hesitant about bull in 2019, I say this because I see the market power is getting weaker. in my opinion our only hope for seeing a bull is an approved ETF.
for 10 years bitcoin rose millions of percentage without ETF or any other type of government issued crap like it and for many years more we will continue seeing bitcoin rise without them. right now things are exactly like 2014 when price hit $200 and stayed there with people getting disappointed and hopeless about the rises. the next leg up will be swift and big because of that.
Hopefully. Back then btc wasn't as well known as this and isn't getting attacks from media and some governments. Now people have more reasons to doubt whether it's a good investment with the 2018 decline adding to their consideration.
