While it is true that the market has evolved and the conditions of it are very different from those observed in 2017, I think we are at an ideal time for the market recovery to consolidate and we can return to see the bitcoin around $10K this year. However, after suffering throughout 2018 I think we should learn from that experience to avoid repeating the same euphoria that leads us to make bad decisions.
Sometimes it is convenient to get away from coinmarketcap a bit, to make our lives away from the monitors and to let things go by themselves.
