It is good that OP has a positive thinking despite of the low prices caused by bear market. IMO, bull run is always unexpected. Maybe it will come this year or next year, we will never know.
Well we really can't do anything at this point but to stay positive and hope that this bear market will be over in the next coming months. I wouldn't say that bull run is unexpected, it will eventually happen, but there's no sign whatsoever so we need to wait for it.
Everything here in crypto is based on timing, so when the time comes, we should all take the opportunity to make profit, so let's be positive and optimistic that we may see a bull run happening or at least some spike in the price in the 5 digits level this 2019.
