What needs to happen in 2019 for the market to recover?

[robro]

We should continue to support cryptocurrency not only during highs.  Prospective investors would risk their money if they will see an enormous support specially from the pioneers.

2019 should be an interesting year

[tycsols]

Whatever has happened in this year is not encouraging for crypto investors and market so we need to just put that to a side and stay hopeful for the times to come, especially with the token economics and deflationary nature of cryptos and that too with quality projects it is almost guaranteed that all these will grow over long term, we just need to be patient and wait for trend reversal from here, for eth im positive we can see bulls soon both fundamentally and technically it is at a point where reversal is almost imminent.

It will be interesting to see what Ethereum 2.0 aka Serenity brings in terms of tech.

If 2019 continues to trend toward 2018, we will continue to see that electronic money is losing 90% of its value and that what's in the wallet will become junk.

The thing to do to get back to the cryptocurrency is to increase investors and projects that are good for more to invest. because if many good projects are sure many investors will enter and bitcoin will rise again.

Although I think you're right - investors need to do their job much better and really start talking to those projects that actually have something to show at least in terms of tech.

So much marketing and so little in terms of tech - that needs to change.

I read a tweet this morning saying: "In 2018 everyone wanted to be in crypto. In 2019, we will find out who really wants to be in crypto."

Who's ready to invest in 2019?

2019 - a year for more applications? More useful use cases? Proper token economics?

I know the Elrond Network team will be here in 2019 - buidling as always

We needs more support from the institutional investors, your ico will change nothing in the next year.
If there will be a lot of utility token in the future and that should be considered as a good thing dude. We need a utility token to prove the regulators about the usefulness of crypto.

Fully agree, a company that owns cryptocurrencies for the sake of having cryptocurrencies is ridiculous and they almost always fail. Utility tokens with real value use cases are what we need and the projects applying that logic will do well. Been following Plutus for quite some time and they made sure they were legally classified as a utility token since the beginning for that exact reason, the company is super regulatory compliant.

They're coming out in Q1 2019 and let people convert and spend their cryptocurrencies anywhere that is accepted by visa, trying to make cryptocurrencies usable as an exchange of value through a debit card or tap&pay app. Looking forward to seeing if they succeed.

Let's hope bad ICO start to fail more often and the market will get a little cleaner...

I think pioneer support isn't actually lacking. It's the lack of fresh investors that's halting the movement, probably scared of this volatile market. We're too small to actually make anything happen you now. Just don't contribute to the crash by panicking like a little girl.

[chocopapaya]

the funny thing is, once we hit another bull run, it will just go right back to greedy madness.
Yes, 2017 was an amazing year with a terrific all time high.
2018 brought a very spectacular crash, bearish market, then another crash.

But I don't think the bubble has fully burst.
Markets like these get into the trillions of dollars before the real crash.
That means that crypto has got another crazy bull run left in it.
I anticipate 2019 will be pretty bearish all year long, with things finally gradually rising the third quarter.
Then, when it takes off, people will be all moon and lambo and fomo all over again.

Maybe a softer or more friendly government regulations is what the market needs right now to fully recover. Bitcoin bakkt and ETF launch may also help.

[CryptoIyke]

I think there is some much loss of confidence in the crypto space especially when it has to do with trust and genuinety of purpose. Bringing in some form of regulation will usher in some bull season as people will no longer fall for shitty projects

[baghdatis1990]

       It is very weird. In December 2017, everyone wanted to lower Bitcoin's price, to invest, too, with great confidence in the coin. Now that their desire has come true, they are afraid to invest that they crash the coin and lose their money. I believe that those who invested in 2018 will also invest in 2019. Most are very scared and do not rely on anything when investing. After all, life is a risk. I will invest.

[shirackjs]

IMO, we need plenty of good news and volumes coming into crypto for a bull run. With 2 new exchanges launching in 2019, it might not be difficult to see this happen.

[hacker1001101001]

We don't know what will happen with cryptocurrency in the future. But we still need to support the cryptos. Because after the bearish market there will be a bull run.

[Sondale]

i think taht soem things of cours should be done but i am not sire taht i am a good specialists so i am eager to listen to others points of view

[amos77978]

Of course for the market to recover we need institutional investors... more use cases for token.. and less shitcoin offering

[mksundip]

I only hope that in 2019, eth Bitcoin will be approved with ethereum and several other altcoins, and hardfork eth that runs smoothly according to plan

[Lyd]

I invested in 2018 so I could easily invest also in 2019 because I think the crypto world is a great place for our investments. The market needs more investors in order to grow.
