coinbase and bitpay already offer shopping cart services for merchants

where they can automate swapping the btc for fiat as soon as people pat btc, or you can set it to keep all or a % as btc,

You just to remember that everything works on cycle and because the market is still fairly young and we only have a small sample data, it makes sense to look at it and predict that we might see the price moving sideways this year. That's what the last cycle tells us if you look at the chart, it might give us a different pattern in 2019-2020, but lets look at it in the bright side. If the patterns holds true then at least we can prepare ourselves as early as this time so that we won't get disappointed.

On thing though about the last bitcoin block halving is that it took months (as far as I can remember) though before we finally see some reversal and the eventual all-time-high in 2017.

To conclude and answer the headline question, Bitcoin price will continue to fall as long as it does not show us major reversal

The sudden rise (from the very beginning of 2018) to fall (end of 2018 and still continuing), did you have the courage to hodl your coins and have your confidence intact just as before? Or did the extreme hustle of the bearish markets ended everything for you and even compelled you in such a way that you're now no more going to put anything in cryptocurrencies? Do you think this is an opportunity itself or is this going to end up hard in grave like most of the best ICO projects of whose tokens got dumped down to even 1/20th their ATH?

P.S.: This is just a poll, so don't take it as a measurement to decide whether to remain and/or invest in crypto or not.

Price of Bitcoin and other cyrpto currencies is increasing continuously from last 5 minutes, do you think it will be a bull run or it will be stopped on 4000$. I think it will be touching 6000$. In just two minutes, whole coinmarketcap has turned green from red.

As you all know that 90% of ICOs this year was a totally loss. most of all the tokens that hit the market are trading below price. some of catastrophic. some are trading below 90% to 95% of their list price. Majority of ICOs this days have has decided to run token sales on Exchanges. as the year comes to an End, Could there be another means of raising fund for tokens come 2019.?

Whole your reasoning is flawed. If you buying gold, you trade goods, services or fiat currencies for it. You actually bought nothing, couple atoms dig up from dirt without value except people agreed to gold is valuable. Nothing else.
In Bitcoin you are owner of digital asset with limited availability (12 000 000). Gold has infinite amount out there so it inflate.

We can share arguments on and on but in the end, if you really understand invention and revolution, what bitcoin trully is, you wouldn't write things like that.

Shitcoins with small marketcap or centralized cryptocurrencies can surely be controlled by pump and dump groups or main investors. However, I don't believe this holds for decentralized cryptocurrencies with huge marketcap, like bitcoin or ethereum. Blockchain wallets show that funds are very diversified, and it's rare to see some 'big' holder sell coins. I think what affects the market most of all these days is news. People then consolidate over the news and start buying or, more often, selling coins massively in the matters of hours. To overcome it, we need the crypto community to expand and become more mature.

Last year, the level of speculation reached to such unbelievable heights that everyone went under the sway effect of getting rich quickly and you can't deny the fact this time that they really had a reason to short it - not to make money, but to make Bitcoins. Every other crash that happened before was not an opportunity but just a loss, but this time, loss itself got transacted to huge profits for those who knew this was going to happen (as I said that correction was in talks during those days). Something that's yet to happen and we only talk optimistic won't really get us anywhere sometimes, but gives a chance to those who've got something more to bet on the negative side of that thing.
