I think bitcoin is still strong we just have some many big corporations and governments trying to keep there dollar STRONG resulting in GREED! Over all its BAD and if we all work for the greater good of bitcoin im sure the 99% can over power the wealthy and most powerful leaders in the world although this could take some time. Everyone would be better off useing crypto instead of USD right? Thats why we steemeins have to stay strong and adapt at times for the grater good. 
I think bitcoin is going to have a very good 2019. Buying anything under $4k likely has a big payoff in my opinion.
