This isn't an ALT pump, it's just the new people to crypto figuring out how to buy. 2018 will be a true ALT  pump!

yes, a pump we have never seen before !! ;D

Today was a true alt pump lol

I’m kind of leaning towards 2018 being the year then bubble pops.  But I don’t care.  All markets move in cycles.  I kind of look forward to buying cheap and waiting to ride the next bubble. 

I think it will take place, altcoin will explode in the next year :o

hope as u say,now  i have about 1w$ altcoins,hope to 2019,they worth 10w$!

True. But just to mention, not the shitcoin pump.

Hope it'll continue like this in 2018

How sure that the altcoin will take place for nextyear? Maybe not directly, its about processing step by step, because its not an easy process to take in too.

I've always believed Bitcoin's supremacy was directly correlated with the inverse of altcoin's success. But lately (today actually), both Bitcoin and altcoins are on upward trends. It seems like money is pouring into both Bitcoin and altcoins. I believe 2018 will be good for altcoins, but still, much better for Bitcoin. Mass adoption will overshadow and technicalities.

I just think in 2018 the price of Altcoin that I hold can have value, It is not impossible that the price will reach to a level that was never expected before.

True that, todays upward trend of both bitcoin and altcoins is clear indication that alt and bitcoins they both can co-exist in crypto ecospher.

1st quarter maybe but we are talking about all 2018 . BTC still dominates

if bitcoin price stable or down price in 2018
altcoin price can pump, but if bitcoin price still incraese, altcoin can dump

I just see in coinmarketcap now some altcoin like ethereum and bitcoin cas the price are increasing. Yeah maybe it's true for altcoin in 2018 altcoin will pump, we can see that in 2018.

Why do you think that there will be a lot of pumps for altcoins? The market has been in red numbers for a few months (talking about altcoins) and now that it has been a week and a half with incredible green numbers you are saying that we are going to have an excelent year for them.

Altcoins will follow bitcoin pattern, nothing more.

I think bitcoin Bullrun will not stop here. We will see 20k and price drops, alts bleed and then bitcoin sideways, after all of that we will surely see a real alt party. It can be on mid-2018 though.

For me, It's true. I think altcoins will rise in 2018 and still better for bitcoin. I wish all altcoins we are holding right now will pump by next year. It's good for us to see coins pumping.

What a pump today. Every single coin in top 100 of the market goes up in price. People who hold ALT are really having a good day.

Because of the BTC price increasement most of the altcoin prices dropped.Many of them aren't totally recovered yet..If btc stop this bull run all alts will surely pump.But I think BTC wouldn't stop...

As you can see dump money is now flowing into the space, those that I pity are the new ones entering the space because those that entered early have already made money and won't be that hurt when the reality set in but those entering now will be very hurt

I don't think that something will happen legimately in the next year because even today about 4-5% people of this world are ennagage in cryptocurrency field , so we can understand that how many more people will come and the same thing will happen here
In year 2019 .
Here we should not consider it as pump like word with the legimate increase in price of the coin Because only few pump usually happens in this field and rest of other high potential coins are better for investment and analysis Because those all are having demand constantly legimately increase in price .

altcoin will pump in 2018 can be true, because altcoin predictions now have shown good price movements so I think if it will rise in 2018 but can not be predicted whether it can be very high or just rise slowly.

Yes! Last few weeks alt has been generating so much money it should be illegal  ;D

TRUE! I believe in particular that ethereum will surprise all and sundry in price increase. If you are not in ethereum, this is the best time to load up!

2018 is not started yet and we're already seeing an unprecedented growth.

Look on coinmarketcap, everything is GREEN and have at least +20% just in few days, and I'm still sure that this is just a beginning.
We will see the true growth next year. Keep hodling, guys. Keep hodling.

I agree with this point of view. As you can see, 2017 is a beginning of Cryptocurrency when there are more and more people in the world attend virtual coins. And now, when they are more popular, coins market is becoming a stock market when investors spend their fund to get profit. The altcoins price will go up.

I think so, it already begin! All coins have around 500-100% profit. :)
It's a good chance Altcoins will have a great 2018, after all, we started with the right foot. :)

I think you are right with this.

Overall, 2018 has the potential to become an amazing year in crypto as masses will join the market and capacity and therewith prices (of Btc and/or alts) will be able to strongly increase.

definately it would be a pump because more and more people are entering into crypto world and its a boom to the industry as you could see the market cap of all digital currecy been increasing from billion markets to trillion markets... thats the best proof for all of this

Yes I think it is true

i can see how it can be true. the bitcoin growth has really been huge and that has introduced the whole concept and with it this rather big side-market to all the newcomers to bitcoin. most of them will seek out alternative coins and will start investing in them.
and with more newbies in the market and most of them desperate for making profit fast and getting rich over night, the pumpers will take advantage and the pumps can technically become so much bigger than previous years.

but i am afraid at the same time a big pump means a big dump too. you can see what happened to the altcoins when they got pumped big time this year. so many newbies lost a lot of money to this manipulating technique.

Yes, it will. But first we will see a huge correction closer to NY or right after it. I think that we do not need to buy alts right now because they can easily be at a highs.

Bitcoin growth is tremendous, so the dependence too seems growing. In the recent days majority of the altcoins have shown good signs of growth. When you look at today's growth on coinmarketcap very few has found declining in value. Hope this will continue with the upcoming years taking the altcoins too gain good market.

When large corporations decide not to invest in current altcoins but to create their own, this will create a huge drop in the value of alts. Until that point (or if corporations do invest in current crypto platforms) they will continue to rise at a huge rate.

1 true pump was on the beginning of 2017 and one now
but i dont think that in 2018 it will be more then in the beginning of 2017.. it was epic :)

Another reason is people want to get into crypto because of bitcoin, but they cannot buy bitcoin hence they are opting for some top alts.
Another important reason is high fees of bitcoin, which means small transactions are almost impossible, hence people are opting for alts.
So I agree, Alts are gonna have a great 2018.

For the growth of altcoins, new cash flows are needed. Let's speculate. In most cases, new private investors will buy bitcoin. Altcoins can be bought by bitcoin holders or financial institutions. I think both options are possible, but more I believe in the importance of the second. Most altcoins changed the trend in relation to bitcoin. I'm not considering the dollar price right now. Moreover, altcoins are of great practical value than bitcoin. There are already real technologies and systems that can be used in practice. I also consider the option of deep correction of bitcoins and panic sales for cutting hamsters, but in the growth of altcoins in 2018 I am sure.

I think that 2017 was a good start and a kind of promotion for the cryptocurrency...therefore for me this is a true statement that in 2018 there will be significant events in the cryptolife
