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

[Oceat]

I think there will be a recovery in 2019, indeed the pumping market cannot be seen right away, but in crypto trips in 2019 there will be time to pump up.

Maybe there is but don't expect a price that was like on 2017 because halving is almost coming so you do the math. It seems like people aren't done yet fantasizing the $20k and the others are still expecting a $100k price during the bull market. lol, A whole year without a bull run is quite enough to understand that the market keeps declining the prices. Especially today that the price doesn't want to move up or even move a bit, it seems that day traders are doing there best to recover their losses from the market.

Now the people are coming back to the reality and forget about $20K in 2019 and they are seeing the practical growth still there is no hope for us to see big bump in this year so just let hope and see the remaining later.

People have been spoiled back in 2017 with how pretty much every coin in the market exploded over 1000%, which seems to be their new 'normal' standard now unfortunately.

Every minor leg up currently brings back the hope that a bull run is about to start, while they completely ignore the fact that we're still going through a bear market, and that we're still dealing with lower highs and lower lows.

In other words, as long as people still hope for a bull run to pop up, they are still holding their coins, and these are exactly the people you want to get rid of, because they are nothing more than selling pressure on the way up.

That is the reason also why our market can't move into the high level cause nothing in the market goes into buying and selling, instead they'll keep on holding. I understand of what they feel and of what they want, but it doesn't mean we can't move on and do accept things happen today and even last year. Many were losing and so I, but there is a way to recover this if we open our mind and continue of what we do in those year where crypto is at ATH.

Its understandable why they keep buying and selling even in this low,their intention is to make money no matter of how the situation and they are going to take any kind of risk for that.Now the problem arises that every holder want to minimize the losses by trading it which is the thing restricting people from going anywhere and stuck at the same region again after $6000 scenario.

I really hope that 2019 will be a friendly year for crypto,but seems like there will be more obstacles that need to tackle in this year, many expert predicted that the market is going to be very fluctuative with a lot of sideways,many good news are coming but until now the enthusiasm of the investors is not too good

I think 2019 is still bear trend for bitcoin. There is will be many "issue" in 2019, so price from bitcoin will down. 2019 is not time for bitcoin to the moon, but 2019 is time so stock bitcoin.

This is something I can agree with, it is unlikely the price of bitcoin is going to moon in this year but that is good news this means that we can stock all the bitcoin we can during the next months for cheap prices while everyone is worried about investing in the market and we will be the ones that will get the most profits once the market begins to skyrocket in 2020.

Yeah until now bitcoin on bear trend, like i said its not time for to the moon but it is our chance to get bitcoin in low price.

I think 2019 is still bear trend for bitcoin. There is will be many "issue" in 2019, so price from bitcoin will down. 2019 is not time for bitcoin to the moon, but 2019 is time so stock bitcoin.

Well it's been trading sideways already, so definitely the bear still control the market. So its safe to say that we might be expending a bear season till Q1 of this year as there are no clear indications that the bulls is around the corner.

So its better to accumulate more coins at this situation and HODL. I'm not sure about the "issue" that you are saying, there are no issues except that investors are not. coming in, even fresh blood understands the risk and how volatile this market is. On the contrary, there are speculators who is making money out of this bear market so its going to be interesting to see how are they going to respond in case a bullish trend emerges.

Yeah we can see trend of bitcoin on Q1 2019, but if we see now it will be bear trend on this year. "Issue" i mean is a bad news aboutc crypto so it can make bitcoin down. Like few days ago. cryptopia was hacked, there is a very bad news for crypto and i think it effect to bear trend from bitcoin too.
