The 2017 bull run was based on hype that was why shitcoins were able to give more profit because they were cheaper and people bought it based on the huge hype in the market then
But the next bull will be quite different from that and it will be based on real life usage and adoption so any project or altcoin that doesn't offer real usage or solve a problem will beat the dust.
If tomorrow in the cryptocurrency market and each altcoin starts to make big jumps in price one after another, the hype in 2019 will not be worse than in 2017, because now there are much more investors on the market with money who are waiting for when it will be possible to invest in altcoins . It remains only to wait for the start.
