Positive attitude and belief is the main thing. After all, behind every project there are people

Of course the situation is really bad, we are down what? 70%-80% from previous all-time-high? What will save the market? I guess nothing? This market is on a cycle, we might be at the late bear cycle, meaning is sellers or the bears are exhaustive then sooner or later the market will pump again to start a new cycle.

This is what happened with Ross Ulbricht, right? The FBI seized more than 200K coins from his wallet and later they auctioned all those coins. So my guess is that it is possible for the courts to confiscate the coins.

Basically do your own research.

If some tell that Elon Musk buys Ethereum, see on his public statements about it. Search on twitter (but make sure you didn't find fake accunts with that name), search on blogs, search on reputable news agencies.
If somebody tells that certain bank or institution plans certain service, check that bank's pages, social media or even ask their support.
..Something like this.

Especially if you want to invest based on certain news, you have spend some time and effort to make sure everything is all right.

This is because of its decentralized structure. However, there are some differences between democracy and not being the center of economy. Democracy is all about administration. It must be a matter of choice. I think we can give Bitcoin an example of democracy in economic structure.

This is a good prediction, when I look at the forum I see nothing but some of the weirdest predictions with people predicting that bitcoin is going to reach prices that I know are impossible in that time frame, so reaching a price barely above 10000 is completely possible by the end of 2019 because I am the same as you and I do not expect a big recovery by then.

crypto brings blockchain technology that many companies want to test the sophistication of the blockchain. The blockchain has never been down because the server is everywhere. That caused a lot of companies to use it. so the crypto future is very good

Tbh, I don't see bitcoin being the greater of all the evils contributing to climate change. There are still factories burning a lot of fossil fuels and automotive using the same type of fuel for the past decades or so. All of these carbon emissions are already there together with the talks about climate change way before bitcoin hit the radar of so-called 'concerned' citizens. If I were to ask, there's really not much we can do about the power consumption of the miners and we're not the only industry to use such levels of power consumption in the world.

Switching to PoS is not a bright move, and if we really want to save this world, look for better and cleaner alternative energy solutions and ditch the fossil fuels.

Although the cryptocurrency will continue to evolve, and therefore partly fiat will be squeezed out of circulation, it still does not threaten the usual currency. Its fate depends on the government, but it will never make a decision on the abolition of national money and on switching to calculations in cryptocurrency. Such a decision would be detrimental to the economy of any state, which means that as long as the state exists, national money will continue to exist as well. Cryptocurrency can go in the state only simultaneously with the national money of these states and it cannot be otherwise.

I'll second this thought process while people are afraid of burning their hands, these guys are accumulating for the long run as they're anticipating a bull run. If you'll see right from the start of the year bitcoins never went down past 5k, and I don't see it ever going below that level, in fact now it's formed a new resistance between 6k to 6.3k which I feel if it maintains it can touch high levels soon.

I won't place too high of an expectation for 2019, I suspect it will be a better year but still not a great year, something akin to 2015. Best case scenario I think we might see the price back at the previous ATH, more feasibly I expect we might see the price in the $10,000 to $14,000 region. That would still be a very positive year.
