Bitcoin Forum

Most of the predictions are saying 2019 will be the year of recovery. With the way ICOs have fared do you think the price of Bitcoin will rebound? Ripple is one of the coins that may be axed in 2019 if SEC feels confident enough to make that move and that will definitely affect Bitcoin price big time. In any case 12 months is a long time and I think sometime next year things may shape up but it won't be as easy as we assume. https://cryptoinfowatch.com/ripple-currency-news-will-ripple-centralization-wreck-the-cryptocurrency/

You are saying that the increase in the bitcoin price is 20,000 but its hard ? past  january have a big bull run

My expectation is not very high in 2019. Maybe we'll see some price rises in 2019. However, these rises may not be as much as we expect. For more, we may have to wait for 2020.

In 2019 I expect the crypto market to recover and not just me but many believe that will happen because 2018 was the year where many cryptocurrencies started to progress in the financial sector and specially bitcoin has a good adaptation rate into business than any other year and we definitely can think it will probably increase further more in the financial world and that will make a great demand for bitcoin and any other digital currency in the future so the value will definitely recover in the next coming year

I don't think that 2019. will bring any enormous rise for BTC. I expect stabile growth that will bring us to the price of around 6 or 7k by the summer. My believes are that 2019. will be the year of recuperating and preparing for the 2020.

My wild guess, I believe Bitcoin will surely touch $1800 before its epic run towards $10,000.

If there is a price decline in this way, it will be very bad for all of us. I hope that your expectation is not correct.

I hope that by 2019 it will be a recovery year for crypto, the market can grow and stabilize in value. I am optimistic about crypto and still believe the cryptocurrency will have a bright future.

I guess 2019 will be a  great year for crypto lovers. Im thinking there will be another ATH  ,fake projects and projects with no working product will be eliminated.

I am expecting a lot also about the upcoming year but still luck will fi d a way to be with us if we will look also after it, I guess we should work also hile eaiting for the big rise of the Bitcoin, it's a strategy which we can say as a way for us to still be in a poductive phase even the current market price was not good as what we are finding for it to be, optimism will bring us determination to believe in Bitcoin.

I don't have any expectations at all.I just want bitcoin to survive an I want 90% of the altcoins to just fade away.I don't care about ripple at all.I think that having no expectations is better than having high hopes about the bitcoin price going to the moon.

In 2019 i hope that the market will recover and the prices will rise at least at their normal value.In this period everything was upside down and there existed a lot of false speculations about BTC.I really believe that in the coming year the market will find finally a balance.

Eventually people are expecting another bull run for the year 2019
But unfortunately that is only an speculation bitcoin are unpredictable digital currency
In the positive side i hoping bitcoin will recover and stay strong in year 2019

I respect what you want but the reality is different here. Ripple is being popular among the haters, many good altcoins are doing well and some good ICO can't stop to come even in this bad condition of the crypto market! But still, without bitcoin, they all are nothing! That's why I want all of them to be stable at a high price.

I hope binance and other crypto exchanges will decide to delist useless Cryptocurrencies.

In order to see positive movements in the market next year we desparatelly need some postive news, from SEC for example regarding futures, or something else, something big what can change trend long term and bring here some more serious investors.
It's very difficult to predict right now what may happen but many people are very nervous because of btc price drop and we will loose more investors ans price will drop even more without some big change next year.
Hoping the best.

We already have 10-year birthday cake for bitcoin. Although the market goes into difficult conditions. and almost cows will not run during this anniversary. But I think that bitcoin and crypto will return soon in Q1 2019. I hope it will come in February as many experts have predicted. BTC may be at 6k-10k at Q1 2019.

We are now going through a bloody phase, now the crypto price has started to increase and I think the increase is quite stable. I prefer stability because then the price of Bitcoin is not easily corrected. With a good level of stability, it will open opportunities in increasing prices slowly and continuously.

I bet everyone is holding to that speculation and as far as I can see it has a big chance of everyon gaining their profits in this upcoming year, and we should be all believe on that since this 2018 year is said to be a correction year and last year may not be the same and as fruitful as what this year  but there still a common pattern being seen, and I hope this will do come true.

I expect a stable crypto market with higher volume. I don't know what will happen and what is waiting for us! But this year destroy my big hopes about cryptocurrency. Still, I will be waiting to see bitcoin at 15K USD within the next 12 months! And if the bitcoin price grows that's mean the whole crypto market grows!

Everything happening now in the Crypto space is positive for Crypto, Bakkt, Nasdaq listing Bitcoin futures, Coinbase custody, Switzerland Crypto ETP. the price might not react immediately, but I think there will be a move in the end of 2019 when we approach the halving.

Got to agree with the above, Although i think we will see some pumps going into the launching of some of these platforms. Ideally floating around $4 - $5k would be nice, slowly rising throughout the year.

if bitcoin touches the price of up to $ 1800 then the surge will not occur in the near future, because it takes a long process to regain investor confidence, 2019 is the hope of the beginning of a perfect recovery for bitcoin

I hope 2019 will be the year of bitcoin however the price will leap to $ 2000 and the return will be surely around $ 10000 so let us hope positive unfortunately if this happen bitcoin from this point will have to think it's way to forward without having a look to back.

As much as I don't really envisage a mad bull run, I sure don't want to see a further major dips in the cryptocurrency markets. A further dip in 2019 could put an irreparable damage on the morales of potential investors as well as previous Hodlers.

We hit $2400 just a few days ago followed by a sharp rebound to $4000+. As you say 2019 will be an interesting year.

I think we will see a high price sometime in the year, whether or not Ripple gets axed, as ultimately Ripple is not wholly, in and by itself Bitcoin, and does not necessarily reflect the future of Bitcoin (though such an event would likely have sharp short-term price implications on Bitcoin).

In the long run, Bitcoin is Bitcoin, no matter what Ripple does, so I think we will always see very strong buy pressure in the low price range. 2019 seems to be the year of 'high highs and low lows', so that's what I would expect to see, some of everything. Probably a trying time for the patience of investors!

I expect that the market will recover and will back to normal like before. Because of the dumps that we experienced this year, I am sure that I am not the one who expect that the bull run will occur.

Well when it comes to expectation my personal thought is the value should not go down as much low like the current situation, I agree it happen sometimes but for upcoming year I hope it will be a exciting one. Not too much high and too much low let it be in a stable price.

2019 If later there are no negative issues raised I think the market will continue to grow as it is now and this is certainly a very good opportunity

I think there is new hope for bitcoin in 2019, bitcoin will make a recovery and will be able to reach a price of 5k and even exceed it.

I am optimistic that 2019 the market will recover or at least prices will stabilize and rise slowly, hopefully there will be lots of good news to be able to help prices rise

I don't think what reason will get Bitcoin price increase.in fact if the Bitcoin supply increase soonly then it can be cross 15000$ first January 2019 year. Actually depends on the market demand situation and their buy/sale movement.many people excited them when Bitcoin price going to up and how can be recover their money.so I don't accept negative issue so we need countinue trading,hold and investment then anytime Bitcoin price going to jump.

There's nothing major happening so I'd expect more of the same - volatilty and a price that just goes up and down within the range set in 2018.

I think that the year 2019 will definitely of a good start as BAKKT is scheduled on january and ETH constantinopole is bound to happen in january 14. ETF may also help if it gets approved on february. I do trust in the technology and industry overall.

After sitting in the office of thought, reflecting on the impermanence of the cue ball and the crypt as a whole, I came to this conclusion.

"Those who bought 18,000 +/- 2000, and there are a lot of them, maybe millions, have already given up on their cue ball and, accordingly, do not plan to sell them, because all their private and public keys from their wallets have been washed, and the passwords with I’m sure these "investors" are 99%. So, we don’t get to 0, because the cost of the cue ball will be all of their invested liquidity. Most likely, such wallets will become dead. "

Of course, the island will not be bought, but there will be some residual value. If the miners do not devour the money, then everything will be fine.

So, as the saying goes: “Hope the young men feed”, and I will look for entry points to buy

I personally predict a 5 year stone age period. The price will swing from the current one to a 10k max or similar, mostly being manipulated. Also I think that something similar to crypto will rise and everyone will focus on that.

I expect it to recover and to get another ATH ,
I want to see the crypto market rise up again ,
I want to see it have a steady growth.

If ripple is deemed a security then it won't matter too much, the ripple hodlers will switch to bitcoin and the price of BTC will rocket. Ripple isn't even a crypto currency so it shouldn't be on CMC anyway

I think that we are going to have a slow start in 2019 and the price will stay around between $3.000-$4.000 lines. I would never expect big impacts for Bitcoin but for the Ripple i can't say the same. I believe that the XRP price will reach $5 level. Also i am sure that the people would not join ICO's anymore, because %80 of them was bullshit in 2018!

We also hope so, that the price of bitcoin will recover in the next 2019, we have long missed the presence of bull run phases again running in front of our eyes.


If the SEC agency's able to do it most likely bitcoin and other mining cryptos will experience a fairly drastic development (I can't wait to see this happen soon).


Of course, reversing the reality that occurs isn't as easy as turning your palm because everything can only be done, if each of us 'can be compact and work together' to fight in the same direction and goal.

2019 can be a very exciting year for crypto, if the financial crisis hits the banks and stock markets in 2019
Bitcoin will have a chance to prove itself, as a secure store of value and a secure payment system.  In a perfect storm Bitcoin cut end up with a new all time high.

many friends are optimistic that the price of bitcoin will recover. because the price of bitcoin is indeed expected to recover. So, who has been surviving with bitcoin, of course they hope that in the future Bitcoin will be better than yesterday.

2019 will maybe welcome us with a bang,theres always a chance that the bear market would end soon.As we cab see bitcoin have started to recover and we cannot take the chances that bitcojns price will rise,surely investors would be coming over to experience bitcoins potential.

There were alot of prediction before the start of this year as far as cryptocurrency was concern ands so as we see alot of prediction of good fate and otherwise coming up but to me i know only time will prove them right. Because i never expected such a dip in price from such peak but here we are today. And all the same i believe bitcoin will do better in this coming here nevertheless no matter what falls in place whether good or bad in 2019 I AM still for team BITCOIN and will never give up.

Same here too.Even though the market has experienced this low price ever,i know that in the next months it will have its own time to recover.I think what happens today has just repeated again and again.And if you're really new in this market,it's natural to show some panic but if you think it more deeply,this is a good chance to gain more profits in the future.

to the moonnnnnnn

I also think that everything should change in 2019. A lot of positive events should happen this year and they will affect the market in any way. We are seeing a very long decline and it is time for us to see a green growing market.

I really do not expect much from the market in 2019, it seems to me that many are underestimating the damage that the bear market did to the confidence of most of the investors that put their money in bitcoin during 2017, many are probably too afraid to get back in the market after suffering such huge losses so we will need years for those memories to fade and for new investors to come.

We really need to remain very optimistic next year and do hope that the we can see a change for the better. 2018 really made everyone think of its strategy and make some adjustments and be flexible otherwise you're going to lose in this market.

Of course, we can't predict what 2019 can bring but there's a strong chance that the bear market is already on its tail end and we can expect the  bulls taking control next year, crossing my fingers.

I think 2019 will be a great year for the cryptocurrencies.People are making investment in cryptocurrencies alot because it is expected that the prices will definitely rise in the coming time.We need to be optimistic and make strategy accordingly.In 2017 the cryptocurrencies were touching the sky and created new records.We should be positive all the time.People will make good amount of money in the coming time too.

I hope that the crypto market in 2019 will be more stable and that there will be an increase and get out of bad conditions this year.

I am expecting a recovering and that means I am not expecting much price movement in 2019. However,  bitcoin and others cryptocurrencies will be better than now and 2018. I could remember when many of us did not invest in 2016 when bitcoin was recovering and lose out in 2017 bull run.

As sayings that not all the time we've been on top, sometimes we fall and turn back again. Not necessarily we after on the high price as its still unpredictable but to have a price that could compensate our hardwork and profiting. cause if we just look into bull run, it could only give us disappointment.

I am very sure if in 2019 the price of bitcoin will recover and the price of bitcoin can be more stable, and I am also very confident that the next bull will occur in 2020 and the price of bitcoin will reach $ 50k.

Price of the bitcoin and altcoins will be increase very high. Because this year we experienced almost dumping the value.
And now next year which happens in the next few days price of the coins will rise like what happened in the year 2017.

Well even it's so hard to expect anything about crypto because we know that we dont know what will be happen next year in crypto.  I'm still expecting that crypto will be more successful and the market will be good in 2019.

I don't really have any expectation for 2019. The one I had for this year came to zero. I think for 2019, I will just enjoy every moment as they come; the bullrun, SEC activities, death of projects, rise of new ones and probably a repeat of this year - correction. Major concern is for the year to be profitable.

From many years spent with Bitcoin I learned not to expect too much and how market can change very quickly.
Still I hope to see some price recovery but this will probably happen very gradualy. Even if it doesn't I will not be much disappointed and I will adjust to the situation. I will make some very realistic plan with moderate goals and I don't expect too big profit.

Just like everybody in this forum i have high expectation from bitcoin on 2019 but i don't dare to hoping too much because the predictions could go wrong but whatever the situations on that year i will stick for crypto and don't have any plan to quit from it even though if the situations will more worst than now

It should be that way, we wanted to keep seeing crypto to workout till next year, people who have knowledge and have a good insight regarding to this market will keep continuing to hold and support each projects that they feel to rise after some time, keeping our eyes and stay focus with your assets
we should be glad if things will workout even if it takes more time.

I'm optimistic that 2019 will bring relief to all those who decided to hodl their coins, while it's to early to pick a target I'm hoping it goes beyond 10k again. It's pertinent to note that bitcoins prices shall depend heavily on the successful launches of Bakkt, Nasdaq Bitcoins Futures, currently only Nasdaq has confirmation it'll go ahead with the launch. Also another factor I feel can effect prices is the adoption by masses, I do hope people adopt the technology going ahead in 2019. Overall I'm expecting volatility and some upward swings in bitcoins prices in 2019.

I am just hoping more and more constitutional money would pour into crypto business. They don't have to buy crypto directly but as long as they keep on investing into crypto business they are helping out the space to get bigger and better and that makes the price go higher indirectly.

They probably buy over the counter and in bulk as well but if they buy lets say 10 thousand bitcoins all at once they would make the price go a lot higher and that would make their averages a lot more so they can't do that so they probably buy in bulk but over the counter so the price doesn't change as well. If they continue doing the investments they do and the SEC decides ETF is accepted and allowed than we can see 2019 as a great bull year with everyone getting what they wanted from crypto space, more legality.

I hope the market can recover better in 2019, and I believe that next year's bitcoin trip will be able to run a bull.

2019 in my opinion it might be a recovery but I'm not optimistic because if it is seen from the chart it is likely that 2021 will be really bullish unless there will be a lot of good news 2019 surely the market will recover quickly

it is possible to recover, but still we have to be very patient, if we want the price to exceed more than $20,000 so we have to wait the next two years, in my opinion as time goes by, governments and banks have begun to accept bitcoin as a means of payment, but for this we have to have a small volatility,  I think it is much better that the price is between $3700 and $4000 and it is little volatile and many merchants, governments and banks accept bitcoin instead we have a price of $25000 but very volatile and no one accepted as payment method

See this:

Brazilain Retail Chain Oásis Supermercados Adds Crypto Payment Options for BTC, BCH and LTC (https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/brazilain-retail-chain-oasis-supermercados-adds-crypto-payment-options-for-btc-bch-and-ltc/)

they then convert btc to brazilian currency, we need to change that

I expect the firstly market has to cross 10k and then stabilized near that price so that slowly the market will pick up its movement and price will definitely be rising as demand keep on increasing. We require more good news in the market to pick up the spirit of the investors and bring new investors as well.

I'm sorry your expectations may not happen as you are expecting bitcoin market is to be trading similar to traditional stock market. But, whales and institutions are not having enough time to manipulate over the time but they are moving the directions of the bitcoin market in rush so that they could make the maximum and then leaving the market. Stable and sustaining markets may not be possible even in 2019 and may be possible in 2050.

I am just expecting a new ATH will be happening in 2019 and then coming back to $10k will not be having any problem for me. I believe this alone a realistic expectation as manipulators are always doing this kind of movements.

It seems that it took you some time but you finally got what you need to do to become successful in the market, many people have expectations about what the market should do and then when the market does not move in the way they want they blame the market instead of their mistaken expectations out of the market, keep an open mind and keep looking for opportunities to grow your bitcoin holdings regardless of the events that happen during the next year.

I am eagerly expecting that everything changes for good to crypto world this coming 2019. I would really want to experience the moment when all the cryptocurrencies most especially Bitcoin and Ethereum will finally make a rebound aggressively and continuously. One crypto analyst even predicted that "ICO market will gain momentum in the nearest future and it will have a great influence on ETH". This forecast will be beneficial to all bounty hunters. I gladly await for this to transpire.

I expect two scenarios. The good one is the recovery phase, so BTC can start rising again, but slowly, gaining support from new investors that were fearing to invest because the currency could be dead, as many people told.

The bad scenario would be the continuation of this one. So BTC price would keep falling with little intervals of pumps until it reaches to an unknown, but low value that will decrease enthusiasts hope even more.

I'm guessing it'll be a combination of both. While most people look at the chart and think of 2015 as a sideways period, the sentiment at the time was extremely bearish. Bulls were hard to find and we kept threatening the lows. In retrospect, it was an accumulation phase, which is often characterized by spikes below previous lows followed by strong bullish reactions.

If we apply that thinking to the current chart, we should expect one or two spikes below $3,000.

Normally we expect more and shows many improvement in terms of prices but it looks like it would be that easy and see recoveries around in the 2nd quarter. The current situation isn't totally bad and it is the best time to start in crypto investment and the good thing is that, we saw ETh bringing back into 3 digits.

I think market in 2019 will be the same. Mostly people having bitcoin are gaining profit for the small increase which do not even limit the supply on the market as they buy at low prices. Though stability is more only what we see, it is good that the coin has improvement far away to being dead. I also being positive that crypto will continue to have bright future.

Supply and demand are what move markets so let's hope big mass adoption for higher price and usability of crypto. Markets will recover somewhere middle of next year imo. Predicting the market is different than trading the prediction.

I only hope that the price of bitcoin next year can recover and stabilize at a price of $ 10 thousand, so that investor confidence in bitcoin will return. I will prepare to face the bull in 2020  ;D 8) 8)

I am hoping for the 2019 Bitcoin price will recover because until now the last day of 2018 still the price is down. So lets looking forward to see the market price risig this 2019 and lets have a positive mind for it. The rising of Bitcoin is not fast as you think. Well, I think there has a reason for it lets just put on our mind that it will recover sooner or later believe to it.

2019 seems like it will start off pretty decent or horrible, I mean this first 2 months (we can call it 1.5 even) will be either amazing for all of us or it will be horrible.

If all the sec, nasdaq, bakkt things happen than we will start the new year amazingly and hopefully the momentum will be on our side and we will go greatly, however if none of that happens and all we have been waiting for is nothing than the year might follow like that, people are already very upset about how 2018 went and if the price doesn't go up because those things didn't happen I am sure there will be a lot more people getting out cashing in their crypto and leaving the market which will make the volume even less.

So, we reeeeallly need this first 2 months to be amazing in order to keep the crypto fire going.

well, I hope that the price of altcoin, and also bitcoin will rise again, and ICO will be very good. Of course this year there will be a lot of people who expect it, especially those who use Bitcoin and Altcoin.

A recovery that I hope for in 2019. Crypto market conditions are too confusing in 2018, hopefully next year the market will regain trust and be more stable.

Hopefully in 2019 it can repeat performance like in 2017, a fantastic increase, almost all ICOs reach hardcap and marketcap rise to hundreds of percent, and that can be achieved if strict regulations are immediately made so that there are no more scam projects.

Even there is no people who can knows what will happen in the future, but we can expect something in the future, so for me I expect that the year 2019 is the golden year for the cryptos  because I expect that the price of all coins in the crypto world will be multiply since the price of those coins are not good in the year 2018.

That's funny. Why should the price rise? At the moment I do not see any prerequisites for this. It seems to me that the price can only grow for a short time if it will be beneficial for the whales to increase the popularity of cryptocurrencies. And the main task is to buy most of the coins at the lowest possible price. The main trading volumes go past exchanges so we will never know the real demand for cryptocurrencies.

The condition is still not possible to be fully healthy and from that I do not really expect a high jump in 2019, and with better conditions than in 2018 it has made me grateful.

The market for the year 2019 become better. As far as I noticed most of the people here in cryptocurrency expect this year too.
But befor 2019 up the value they need to work to promote cryptocurrency to other peolle or to oyr relatives.

Yes that's he mind voice of every single crypto enthusiast and investor but we have seen pretty harsh year and people have lost hope over crypto but still anything can happen since it's highly volatile. Let's wish for the best

I hope the bear market will quickly disappear and become a bull market, but the bull market will be difficult in the beginning of the year, hopefully in the middle of this year it can become a reality.
