As 2018 winds down, what is your opinion about bitcoin for 2019?

[Attisob]

As 2018 gradually winds to a close, what would be your honest assertion about the outlook of bitcoin in 2019?
Would you toe the line of the believers of the coin (just like me) who have predicted and argued that the coin will do better from 2nd quarter and stabilize at 3rd quarter or would you rather believer the various negatives predicted about the coin?

[boyptc]

My honest opinion is positive, why would I give myself something to worry about by 2019.

We've been down for so long and it may go through more months or eve a year but there's always an opposite force that will come to the market. Wait until all of those institutional news came into reality that has been delivered by this year.

[harizen]

Don't want to make any opinions about what will happen.

I want just to go with the flow and don't expect too much. Continous accumulation and filling my stash as usual. There are some positive events that people is looking forward that will boost somehow the movement of bitcoin price next year. Im not really into this kind of expectation as it will just lead into disappointment.

Just "trust the process".

I'm on the same way where I don't really expect too much on what would happen ahead instead accumulating as the price is still cheap nowadays.If you do let this opportunity to slip
then you will surely regret later on when the market tends to reverse trend again. No one can predict the future but we can somehow make presumptions based on what happened on past years.
Market wont be always on bear.

Of course, everyone wanted to see a bull run in 2019 or at least a recovery to the 5 digit mark again. Just look at what 2017 brought to us, no one really see the massive growth during that year and then 2018 was a complete opposite. So we may stay positive and let the market takes its normal course. So we should learn how to adjust our trading strategy so in such cases that 2019 won't be the year that we all been expecting then we will not be burned easily as others experienced in the first half of 2018.

But, you are just missing the core purpose of why we are having speculation and predictions. Experts are making speculation just to warn us for not missing another opportunity. For example, if you will be notified about $100k for bitcoins, then probably you will go for buying more by adjusting your other spending. When there will be no positiveness in your expectation, then you may have more chances to missing out big things. Please note that I am stating all these for bitcoin kind of proven potential based things.

Other than self benefits, just sharing opinion about bitcoin in this community will be helping many people here to make their investment decisions easily. Bitcoin is always having big values in long run hence there will be less possibility of errors when we will be predicting its future positively.

In my opinion, bitcoin is going to have another year of 2015. A recovery phase.

If the ETF decision is positive in 2 months from now, I expect great things in the short term.
If the decision about the ETF is negative again (rejected), I think 2019 will be just a transitional year with no spectacular rise of price.

However, however I expect good things when the next halving comes.

When I say "go with the flow", it doesn't literally mean that I will just wait and that's it. I have my own way.

As I said, I will just continue to accumulate no matter what are those predictions and speculations . Speculations are bound to spoiled even how well technical and properly backed it up. It was proven many times. So instead on focusing on those speculations and predictions as main factor when we should execute our buy or sell, focus on strategy that will benefit us even what the trend is, whether on bullish or bearish.

Don't want to dictate my own doings because of a certain prediction. Yes Im bullish and positive but I have my own way to deal on this. Same with other persons around.

Well, I think that expectations from ETF are exaggerated. Even if the decision will be positive that will not affect Bitcoin that much, at least not significantly and not at the long term. Effect might be only instant and positive ETF decision will not change the world.
Having in mind current experience I don't expect too much from 2019. The price will recover but this will be the process that will happen gradualy and it might take a will until we see 10000$ again. Because that would mean recovery for me and ETF will not help that happen.

The ETF will most likely have an short term impact on the price. I don't think the ETF is good for Bitcoin actually, it is not when you know about the original concept behind Bitcoin. But investors will be happy to make a profit short term, we will probably see a quick rise just like it happened in November>December 2017.

[audaciousbeing]

2019 is fast approaching and its going to be a year to that is more challenging aside from the normal challenges that comes with the new year, that of bitcoin would take a steep one because the some of the issues that have been responsible for the downturn of events in 2018 have not been duly taken care of which would mean starting the year on a low note. However, if we can take a different approach by not waiting for magic to happen to push the price to desired point, I see a fulfilling year ahead.

When I say "go with the flow", it doesn't literally mean that I will just wait and that's it. I have my own way.

This thing also came up in my mind, "go with the flow" as long as I can hold my crypto asset then patiently wait for the crypto market to grow. There will be an opposite side on market price movement if this year we are too much disappointed with the price who knows next year there will be a great opportunity to us, time can tell everything so let's just wait and I can't give a speculating opinion by next year price of Bitcoin.

The coming up pere will be the very important for the Crypto uses if the same condition continue to happen then all the investor definitely migrate from this place to other way so we cannot do anything after this but a lot of people hoping to be the value will continue the rising and I also hope it will be happen soon.

[Indamuck]

I believe 2019 will see a substantial rise in the entire crypto market.  I think bitcoin will reach a new all time high as we approach closer to the next block reduction.  Smart people have been accumulating at these low prices while the newbs have been panic selling and leaving the market.  Don't worry, I'm sure most of them will get FOMO and rush back into the market.

As 2018 gradually winds to a close, what would be your honest assertion about the outlook of bitcoin in 2019?
Would you toe the line of the believers of the coin (just like me) who have predicted and argued that the coin will do better from 2nd quarter and stabilize at 3rd quarter or would you rather believer the various negatives predicted about the coin?

Nothing has really changed, even if the price of bitcoin did not improve during the next year I will still be very positive about the future of bitcoin, while I understand the price is important it is not the only thing, the progress of the technology has been great and the developers are working hard to make it even better so sooner or later the price will have to recover, that is why I'm not really worried.

2019 is going to be a good year for bitcoin indeed, and that includes ethereum, but I’m not sure about other alternative coins , if it’s going to be the same for them. The price of ETH is likely to bubble after the hard fork this January. Then as for bitcoin, everyone already knows it’s going to be a good year.

Only time can time, but obviously everyone wanted a bounce back but its hard to predict the price movement because we are still in the bearish sentiments in my opinion.

So let's just be positive this 2019 and its seems that we are off to a good start as the price is somewhat stable around $3800 and it looks like ETH fork (Constantinople) is also pulling bitcoin afloat and farther from the last bottom.

I don’t think 2019 is going to be the same as 2018. Something tells me this year is going to be better than the last year, and I also believe the price will do better, the market cap increase and lots of investors will come for it this time around. We are never sure yet, but this is how I feel about it. Even last year, I had feelings that last year wasn’t going to be any good and that’s just how it happened.

After passing a dumped period 2018, we starting journey with new aspects in 2019. We aspect bitcoin will recovery its original position just similar to the market 2017.

[fibrolit]

Sorry,I changed your positive Outlook,which I followed with Sep-Oct 2018, I expected that in November-December bitcoin will rise to 15000-20000 dollars.Now I think that for the next 2-3 months the price of bitcoin will be about 4000 dollars.Much will depend on government regulation.
