I just hope this two major decisions about bitcoin come 2019 is positive else the price will not have any significant improvement in terms of bullish sentiment, of course major investors are watching as regards the key decision ( Bakkt and SEC ETF) which can make or mar the future of Cryptos.

My best bet come January 2019 is to be on side line and watch as events unfolds regarding the prices of Cryptos before taking a hard-line decision whether to invest in ICOs or buy altcoin or watch price action with respect to bitcoin which I belief is the major mover of all other altcoins.

A person with a mindset of joining Cryptos to become rich quickly could spell doom for such an individual, Cryptos are long term investment that need patience and perseverance in order to make a headway in making consistent profits however some  people got the shock of their lives by investing when ATH of BTC was attained last year hoping to get rich quickly but got burnt due to the massive drop in the price.

Falling of the prices of Cryptos has been a bad omen for hodlers who might be afraid after hodling for a long term hoping for a turn around however experienced traders will always capitalize on the bearish runs to make profits by shorting at an appropriate time using a perfectly working trading strategy, personally I am not afraid after all a major price correction is taking place hence a bullish runs is well expected soon.

Hope is not lost yet as far the price of Cryptos is concerned I believed we had been experiencing a major price correction this year which may likely triggers a bullish runs come 2019 as all is now set for SEC ETF major decision  I hope it comes out positive which will become a turning point in the world of Cryptos all this will culminate into a positive outlook for Cryptos.

The mind set of many investors when bitcoin peaked was that the bullish run is gonna continue till $50K the speculations was rife such that people were advised to keep hodling while alot of investors were buying at the peaked price personally I sold most of my bitcoin hodlings hence I had nothing to regret about.

I envisaged that this is a golden opportunity to buy and hodl your analysis has shown that price history repeat itself and hopefully the return of the bullish runs is imminent while all fingers is crossed as it is know price had crossed $4K I hope this is sustained as the end of the year approaches.

This is indeed a major setback in paying you with bitcoin these are issues and challenges faced by using bitcoin as a means of payment as bitcoin is becoming more unpredictable how I wish bitcoin is stable at a high price it could have make payment for purchases easier and swift.

I am quite optimistic that the December bull runs will come to pass but I am expecting a massive runs however the coast seem clear for runs as being predicted my prediction of a reasonable bull runs is in 2019 when major positive events are announced which will likely triggers the massive bullish run

The trust, transparency and immutability of blockchain makes it stand out for its survival for a long time this technology has a wide area of applications eg chain supply, medicine etc while bitcoin as virtual currencies has many competitors might have some challenges like bans, regulations etc.

Those sites mentioned by the OP are pure ponzi scheme websites that will disappear after earning or collecting some bitcoin from unsuspecting investors and its very obvious they are going to disappear into thin air you should erase the mindset of 'get rich syndrome' that is associated with the gullible.

Most ICOs use airdrops as an additional tools to further promote their project in addition to the other bounties however airdropping alone might get the desired result due to being accessed by fewer number of people who knew what is all about unlike the other social media that has a wide coverage.

This image about bitcoin reveals a lot information about its price behavior,  some schools of thought believed that history repeat itself as far as price is concerned above all the image has proven to us beyond doubt about the price recovery of bitcoin but how far its going last ? no one is sure about that.

Its always amazed me when I checked the price of bitcoin correlated to other coins on blackfolio app on my phone in most cases when btc dropped all other altcoins dropped drastically indicating the how bitcoin dictates the movement of those coins iam also baffles that none of those coin defies the price movement of bitcoin thus reaffirming the fact that btc is the heart of those coins.

As it is now the drop in the price of bitcoin will give an ample opportunity to those who wanted to join the train now although those who bought at a higher price will have to exercise patience because I am very optimistic of bitcoin becoming a currency of the future while the massive pump the price cannot be the end of bitcoin.

Blockchain developers are the most sought after job in tech and not relating to cryptocurrencies  eg in chain supply, medicine, banking etc because getting an experienced and highly skilled developers is not easy to come by thus you can use this available opportunity to become one, you can visit technical section of the forum there are available links to valuable information leading to becoming a developer.

I hope the price rally back as soon as possible from want I am seeing black Friday had imparted significantly to already crashed price of bitcoin as the market conditions is getting worse, while investors are waiting for the much awaited recovery Christmas is also around the corner there is the  tendency of price drop as a result of Christmas shopping.

In view of the present of the market I.e market manipulation bitcoin had defies all sort of technical analysis breaking all forms of support zones thus becoming a nightmare for traders, I belief the present market conditions had become  terrible as far as trading is concerned my best bet is to take a break from trading although some good traders had capitalized on the market conditions thus shorting thus taking profits regularly.

With due respective I quite admire your decision as regards hodling your coins rather than saving them in bank as fiat due to tax deductions irrespective of the present market conditions this is quite impressive and  you are doing so based on the fact that you are banking your coin and this could motivates other people to follow your step.
