Bitcoin Forum

hello everyone, in december of past year the bitcoin had your historical fall and some people's sayed which the reason was a "tree shaking," others said that increasing fees and delayed transactions made users migrate to other alternatives using others cryptos. Actually some cryptos like Ripple, Stellar, Litecoin and others experienced a good appreciation in this period. Some cryptos offer low fees, more speed in the transations and more facility in low valor transations.

Within this context what you attribute to the recent fall of Bitcoin? 2018 is the altcoins year?

I'm on a ton of Telegram groups for new altcoins. Biggest change I see is that these alts have a huge "we need to build something bigger than a currency" mentality.

I do not agree if in 2018 this year altcoins, I still doubt if in 2018 this is the year altcoins, I believe in 2018 is still Bitcoin year, because it is impossible altcoins can match the price of Bitcoin, can we see bitcoin prices go up , maybe for altcoins need 2 or 3 more years to be able to beat the current bitcoin price.

If the BTC price is stable then this is a good chance for altcoin to make a price correction.
all traders expect Bitcoin to be stable, and altcoin trading will return to crowded.
Let's wait and see.

No, any altcoins can not same with main coin. I think it will also BTC year 2018 and alt coins will also jump but not like BTC.

may be said that way, the development of bitcoin is currently inversely proportional to other altcoin. bitcoin is currently experiencing distress, unlike altcoin such as ripple, litecoin, and others whose increase is very large.

Yeah it looks like 2018 could be a great year for alts. Many people that came into cryptos because they heard about bitcoin will discover all the alts and their great projects so i guess they will take their money out of bitcoin and put it into alts.

"Altcoins year" is way too general as there are altcoins and altcoins.
Altcoins with strong projects behind (QASH, Verge, ADA, ETH ...) will behave definitely way better than other pump & dump projects.

So, for sure that will be altcoins that will have a higher increase (%) than Bitcoin (usually still small projects that didn't have an important pump yet).
But Bitcoin will be always on top.

Before investing in altcoins, study with attention the whitepaper, team, dev/marketing activity on media channels (Twitter, Facebook, Telegram etc).

As far as more immediate returns are concerned, I think yes, 2018 may be altcoins' year. We probably will not see very wild and sudden swings in bitcoin price unlike last year, but investing in the right alts may yield returns higher than 200%. So if we are talking about making an investment and making money, altcoins are a great alternative this year.

I also believe that we will not see the same movement in the price of Bitcoin compared to last year.

i am also looking on alts ,i think we can get a huge profit because bitcoin duping so fast now

I think 2018 and 2019 are going to be the altcoin years. The one main reason being: people are just starting to hear about them so the adoption rate is going to go from pretty much 1% to ungodly numbers.

Everyone that doesnt have a foot in crypto is just barely wrapping their minds around the concept of bitcoin. After they are done chewing on that, they will see that there are also altcoins available at a much more "affordable" price, according to their standards.

No!

Altcoins=bad  bitcoin=good

Buy lots of bitcoins and hold them forever so I can get rich when I sell mine.

In the firs place, bitcoin experienced a good growth rate in 2017. The drop in December is insignificant for me considering the rise from 1200$ to now around 13000$. Why altcoins getting better place on market? First Developers are doing a great work and secondly some people think it is a good idea to invest in altcoins which haven't experienced big growths. Imagine using 12000$ for 1btc while the same can give you over 1000000 0f an altcoin:D
despite this, I still choose btc as my primary wallet coin to hold

Well as far as I am observing I think it might be and I think they made a big boost on the last year too and it might be that this year they will be more pumped up. But I thought bitcoin being stable right now or in the coming days, weeks or even months would be the reason that altcoins would skyrocket because if there is stable support from bitcoin it is a good time too for some altcoins.

The thing annoying its still Bitcoin Fee its ridicolous .

Hey bro! How’s prison treating you? Seen any good fat black cocks lately?

You aren’t switching to altcoins in 2018 are you? You made some serious bank with bitcoin. Don’t you wish you had used some of them to relocate to another country. LOL

I don't think the fall of bitcoin has anything connected to the rise of Altcoins, as both are different to each other and here in the crypto market each and every coin plays a major role in their self-development area and every single coin is different from each other and it all depends on their one's technology and their services. 2018 is really good for both bitcoin and altcoins and I expect the bitcoin to rise soon as it is rising from the correction which came last month. Even altcoins lie Monero, Ripple, IOTA, Waves are doing a good job and I am personally expecting that all these coins are going to give you more than double returns in this year as they are showing great potential and some good technical patterns in their charts.

I'd bet on my bags of altcoins to go 5-10X in 2018 long before I'd bet on BTC doing the same. BTC will surely make some swings up, but strong altcoin projects will ride the wave upward with BTC.

I agree with you about the increase that Bitcoin had in 2017 and its decline in December is actually very low compared to its appreciation over the year. But I think we will not see a valuation as big as last year.

I also believe in the BTC, I still do not have 1 BTC to insure, I do day trade in Poloniex and I practice a good method that gives me good profits and I believe that I will reach 1 BTC soon and from there I will increase my amount even more to hold.

Within two days time majority of the ethereum based altcoins have started to show signs of growth. Same time bitcoin too has grown above $14000 which might take the price much higher than the previous ath of the past year. Ethereum has grown around 15% than the price by the year starting.

Last year is year for all the coins but not like bitcoin but the prices of all the coins have increased a lot in market due to global growth in terms of market and we can expect more growth in the coming year.

I think 2018 will still be the year of btc and some altcoins and not all altcoins. Those altcoins which are really potentially good will rise. Iota, waves, xmr, xrp will still be very strong in 2018. Dogecoin stratis deep onion kmd utrust and some more will also bd strong.

Where do you see recent fall of Bitcoin? BTC did in this year x12-15

No doubt it will be the year of alts and there will be some coins in particular can be the face the cryptocurrencies.Ethereum and XRP has already shown what are there capabilities and what can they achieve.IOTA and Monero are also growing with brisk pace.Even bitcoin has a bright future too.These alts were rising even when bitcoin was also rising so it has nothing to do with bitcoin fall and the real reason for rise would be the volatility and facility that these alts offers to the investors and the trust that bitcoin has obtained in last 4-5 years has been the driving force behind the connection of new investors.

New year and a lot of new altcoins probably. Bitcoin had own time in end 2017. I hope this year will be for altcoins, it will be nice change

most shilled coin out there atm

In my opinion, all future years are a year of crypto coins. He more and more gets into ordinary life.

2017 was the year of the bitcoin, so this year will be for the altcoins. I think picking ones that are a year old will deliver good results as they are likely to be releasing a working product soon. Good for hodlers of old'ish coins

I do not know if it will continue like this all year. But the altcoins made a good start to 2018.
This will continue for a while in my opinion :)
The investments you make during this period can make a big profit for you. Stay online and follow your coins!

 This year is a good year for altcoin or bitcoin because if ltcoin goes up it is not possible if bitcoin does not rise Because both of them have very close interaction and always follow the market flow every time

i do not believe that 2018 is the altcoins year. this is a fake in the magazine. People believed it and bought coin and getting lost. we are in a very big game.

As we see it has not been justified this year, neither bitcoin nor altcoins. The general crisis, the fall and loss, disappointment and sales. It is clear that until the end of the year there is still a lot of time to restore the former power, but not the bitcoin, which is already completely squeezed out. We are waiting for a massive Alt race for getting into the top.

I hope 2018 will be the year for altcoin,  really missed last year Nov -Dec bull run

A risk. when bitcoin down altcoin will also go down. when the bitcoin price rises uncontrollably. surely altcoin will also experience. the current stability is important in order for the price to slowly rise

In last months of 2017, i was thinking that 2018 will be the altcoins of year. But till now, i see that i was wrong. But, i still have hope.

This year market started with full swing later down with all coins got dumped badly this is patience year market is consolidating for pump it is completing the circle now we need to wait for some better market chances to take profits

It seems still too soon to say altcoin will be prosperous or not this year because as we saw earlier in the year we are still happy because all the coins go up but now we have entered the bear market where many coins are priced down. In this crypto the situation is rapidly changing especially if there is a bad issue so what can happen this year.If the bitcoin is stable this year there must be time altcoin will also rise.So we just wait.

Not sure but also hopefull, btc rally is about to begin. We see huge increase in alt before btc rise and btc fall. Every end of spring and every beginning of winter seems to be the time of alts. Let's wait and see

Yes, you are partially right, when giants like ETX and BTC grow up at the same time and altcoins grow. But there are also such altcoins that will fall at this time. I hope that in the coming months the market will start to grow.

This might be true upto some extent as prices are low at this moment and if the situation continues with bitcoin(the chances are of which are less) then altcoins have a chance to rise up and show their potential this year but still it's difficult to compete with the main competitor btc.

It will be good year for altcoins if bitcoin price will be stable. Because every falled or growth can change altcoins price on lower. What will not be good. So it is hard to answer

Undoubtedly, this year will be the year of the altcoins. This number ICO it turns out that this year the law will be called the year of the altcoins. Although I would also call 2017 the year of the altcoins.

2018 can still be a year of altcoins. If the price of btc starts to rise, altcoins will also start to grow. I believe, the market will finally begin to rebuild and we will see green on the market.

Yes, I think altcoin is making great progress, more and more utilities are exploited and optimized under the blockchain platform from eth to create the experience that suits the needs of the user in practice. . That is creating the richness and diversity of the utility and efficiency of the cryptographic market. This means increased popularity and increased exposure from the public.

Yeah exactly. bitcoin and altcoin are closely related to the growth of the strange. As btc grows, the value of altcoin increases and vice versa. If you monitor the market a lot, it seems to move by its own nature and characteristics.

Yes, I think this will be the year of altcoins but for sure not for all of them. I expect that many will die out as the projects wont be profitable or wont find enough real world usage.

Purchase bitcoin, that is the most secure and most secured coin you can contribute at this moment. Make it a propensity additionally to peruse and inquire about the coins you need to put resources into, obviously individuals would need to ask assessment on others yet toward the day's end it is still you who chooses which coin to put resources into, isn't that so?

True, I still believe this is the year for Bitcoin even though I earn from altcoins. Because I join bounties and all of them is altcoin is payment. But I still trust the bitcoin.

It is still very early to confirm this, but I am confident that 2018 will be the year of the altcoins and the market is showing signs of recovery very well and I am sure in the coming time we will see many altcoins at a price higher than last year and there will be many  altcoins new this year. Personally, I still like to invest in new ones because it gives a very good return for investors

Based on my Fundamental analysis with the most of news coming out it the market it will not be the altcoins year nor bitcoins year. The truth is they will keep on setting a nw high but this year is full of conference, regulations and other government matter in relation to cryptocurrency.

I can not imagine for example this situation will continue, maybe this time that can invest for the long term, he who has a chance to get a big profit later, so it's time we to invest our money.

I would be surprised if that's the case, with all the regulation coming our way I think only the most established coins will be able to grow, I think mid-low cap altcoins could have  a hard time until the market adapts to the new regulatory ecosystem.

Perhaps the price will explode at the end of 2018. I think this will definitely happen. Not only me but also many people predicted so. So continue to hold them at this time and do not care about the price.

I do not think 2018 is the year of Altcoin. As of now, most altcoins are at low prices. And the market at the end of 2018 is likely to be a war in America, so I think the price increase is unlikely.

I do not agree with you, by 2018 this is not the year for altcoin, in 2018 will remain as in previous years, remain a bitcoin year, bitcoin will increase again and remain the top choice for investment.

Yes..yes..of course this year for altcoins :) , but we must remember if there's soo many coins in the market. I still monitoring the monero, i believe that coin is amazing ;) . It's has good future.

if we talk a few years back yes in this year the price is up, but this year is the year where prices are falling different from the year 2017 or 2016 at that time the price actually increased several times, yes hope the future market will improve

We had different point of views there are some says that this year is for altcoin, i think not bitcoin is still trusted coins for this year even the price is go down but it still most trusted for investors.

well, first of all i will say about bitcoin that is after long time btc is going rock in end of 2018 that is fact and about other crypto some coins are very good and some are will be same in my eyes there is etehereum neo staller litecoin and some more coins will be increase  and about other ones will be fluctuate.

I think this is not a bad end for BTC to remain a pillar of coins all over the world. It's just a process, and I'm not sure what happened. and I'm sure BTC will return to its peak. and will b

ring good news for altcoin ..

Hi all.3 coins you should definitely consider buying.
1.unify
2.rupx
3.POStoken
All of these coins are under 0.2 $(they were +1$ before)
and now very cheap with low max supply !!!.so if you buy 10-50k of these coins they can be worth more than 50k$ by the end of the year.
All of them are POS.good communities and upcoming features and new exchanges soon to be added.
Read about them,do the math.and think about it.good luck

I think this year can not be called the year of altcoins. Because we noticed one fact, if bitcoin grows, then all other altcoins grow.

Condolence to you ... You should be more careful while taking the ico like this. Consider it very carefully and the most important thing is the capital split.I think you should divide 3 or 4/10 of your capital into ico. Because they have scams, you do not lose all your capital. Do not go all the way so you will lose everything.Please read the information of the project that you enter ... Because that is how you guarantee your capital. Ask people who have experience in this field. And do not despair, take a closer look at joining an ico. I participated in 5 ico but I was 3 failed. But I still do not get it because I have divided the funds and of course the 2 ico left me a lot of money and no more losses. I also search and join the free ico like u.cash, hydrogen, CNN, GSGC, ... and also earn a lot of money from it.I have an absolutely free ico project for 20000 coins a day (it must be too cool!).1 penny is not a token. And I appreciate it.Very potential in the future.THEN is mairnecoin.Also known as mtc.You can join ico for free here http://marineco.in.Marinecoin is a coin so you can buy more at http://f1cx.com (if you are interested in this coin).Marinecoin is a coin with artificial intelligenceIt is dev-less.IT is eco friendly, maintained by artificial intelligence.Marinecoin zero fees. Marinecoin has an artificial intelligence.Eco friendly coin with iodine.Marinecoin is a machine to machine.Marinecoin Payment System in Internet artificial intelligence (AI) of things (IoT).Marinecoin has an arrtificial intelligence machine to machine payment network.With extremely large community ownership will contribute to the successful construction of marinecoin.The community we always welcome you.Please join us for free marioecoin ico here http://marineco.in.And I condone it with you, but do not be subjective so be optimistic. Such things help to draw a lot of good experience to join other ico in the future.

if it's from a price standpoint then Altcoin will not be able to match Bitcoin's position. but if in terms of growth then it can happen where in April Altcoin movement showed very good symptoms after last month suffered a setback.

definitely !

I'd bet on my bags of altcoins to go 5-10X in 2018 long before I'd bet on BTC doing the same. BTC will surely make some swings up, but strong altcoin projects will ride the wave upward with BTC.

well, while altcoins are not growing at the same pace as before, so it is not yet known whose year will be, bitcoin or altcoins

and again company marineco. why you all of this company's so much interested in. as if there is nothing landmark, as well as a lot of competitors that have similar indicators.

I don think this year is the year for altcoins since theres a huge down for altcoins this year.Maybe this year is what we call the start or enlightenment for people to get to know altcoins first .Its year 2020 for me the real year for the start of altcoins rise and development.However this year also instigates the state of stability to altcoins and so is Bitcoin.

This year may be the scene of subconscious slander, but it does not mean that they will completely take over the market. The proportion of scam projects makes this market much more insecure than Bitcoine. This is one of the things investors pay attention to most.

Yea, mate.  2018 is altcoin year. I have been waiting for a long time and now it seems that altcoin will not only rebounce, but also rise in huge pace in terms of BTC!

I still think that bitcoin will not sink down here, and today I see that bitcoin prices gradually increase significantly, and that is followed by almost all altcoins on the market, within 2-3 months then all the coin prices it is soaring and profitable for all of us, this is in my opinion, thank you

2018 first quarter is very bad in terms of profit making alt coins but everyone waiting for last season  ie by December in terms of break-even or profits making coins

Based on what is happening now in the cryptocurrency market, it should be concluded that 2018 is the year of the altcoins. We just need to wait for the summer to begin.

We can not declare the year of 2018 as a year of subcoins because there is an environment where there is a lot of deceitful crypto money. Such situations will cause them to move away because they do not trust the investor. When this problem is overcome, it will be the year of subcooling.

Well , in my opinion we cannot say or predict that this year is the altcoins year . It is imposible for us to predict even a month   , a week . Altcoin year will come or maybe its already here , we cannot know that . Market of this year is not a profitable one , untill know all of the altcoin were constantly dropping . We are still waiting for the last season and see if the market will change .

Yeah!  It's already happening BTC is now at $9.7k

may be said that way, the development of bitcoin is currently inversely proportional to other altcoin. bitcoin is currently experiencing distress, unlike altcoin such as ripple, litecoin, and others whose increase is very large.

Bitcoin as fell, and will rise, do not worry. And 2018 I think as well as 2017 can be called not the year of altcoins, but the year of cryptocurrencies in General.

Bitcoin has happened that prices have risen and prices have decreased so it's like that vise-versa in my thinking believe it or not it's your personal matter.I don't know what price is BTC in 2018 it's predict really difficult but i hope in 2018 is ETH era.Because every single ICO is depended on ETH.

I think that 2018 is definitely the year of altcoins. Not all though gonna survive and we will see a lot of dead projects.

Many ICO have deadlines in 2018. Than we see who work and who drink beer. I hope at the end of the year the most of needless projects will become dead. We need improvement of the market. I believe that 2018 will help

This year is expected to be the property of bitcoin in raising prices to the top. Predicted to jump to double by the end of this year. I think this is a good chance!

Currently altcoins give more profit than bitcoin. But they also fall far more than bitcoin. I think it is optimal to form an investment portfolio of altcoins and bitcoin.

2018 first quarter is very bad in terms of profit making alt coins but everyone waiting for last season  ie by December in terms of break-even or profits making coins

Every weeks lots of altcoins/tokens appears - it will be going on until most of  developed countries regulate this sphere: cryptocurrencies and especially ICO.

How is it connected to altcoins year? Your comment was about Ico and regulation but nothing more specific.
Every year, everyday there is always a changes but this time there are more ICO's and along with it more often that there is more scam ico than in legit ones. I cant say its altcoins year because it is always a season when bitcoins and altcoins pump and the other was dump.

The high fees issues has been corrected and we are having smooth transaction this day. I could remember selling $1500 worth of bitcoin in December and pay $300 as fees. This is actually annoying but now bitcoin has the lowest fees ever and I don't think altcoins has taking any advantage over this.  Altcoins cannot be growing without bitcoin growing therefore I don't think that they are both in competition!

There are a lot of people expecting prices for altccoin in 2018. But today the market is still bleak, prices of altcoin increase over time and prices are not rising as high as in 2017. So maybe who wrongly predicted the Crypto market this year.

this year has not started too well for subcoins, if there is no recovery until the end of the year it will be a better year for btc.

With the number of new coins so produced, the price of BTC and ETH can not be higher now. I think in the future BTC prices can not pass $ 10000. And ETH is not able to cross the $ 1000 threshold.

Bitcoin, the leader of cryptographic currency, is only temporary. If it is unstable, all tokens will disappear.

I think a lot of things still will not change, because it is a simple coin and others like it, nothing unusual, but, still, this coin began to rise and well, I hope it will continue and will meet this coin in the future. :-X

There is no such reason because of which we can disagree to this because in this year, we have seen a very much positive change in the market value of the altcoins because of the extensive use of the altcoins by so many traders. The market value of the altcoins is also increasing and that there are so many traders who still believe in altcoins and will keep on using them in future as well.

I guess, whatever happens, you will always have a chance to make money both on BTC and on alts. It depends how you understand and read the market. As I think alts mostly used for short pumps.

Invest now in a few promising projects and HODL until 2020.

year altcoin is the year like? I think that in 2018 the price of the altcoin will not rise as late as 2017. People have made false expectations this year. The market is getting more and more difficult so do not expect too much of their price. Sell ​​them if you make a profit. The longer you hold the longer you will not get out of the market

It's hard to give an accurate answer to your question, given what is happening lately. The market is quite unstable and unpredictable, it is not clear what affects it.

this is the year of down on alts.
a pump will be in 2019 in altcoins.
please be patience and hodl your alts.

I have invested nearly50% of my money in the altcoins especially new ones and big expectations for the future like Bluzelle, Bread, AION, Daostack, Wabi etc...
It is impossible to know about the timing but I am pretty sure some of these coins will grow in the near future.

A bit more elaboration would have been better because there are many projects and people face a lot of difficulty. Digital coins are attracting investors but they newbies want a proper guidance.

If think that bitcoin I the best for everyone. It has the most potential and can reveal huge profits over time. Holding is the key to success actually. No matter how good a coin is but if someone does not keep it for long, he can never make profits.

Yes, in short cases we make much profit because once they listed in exchange many people will start buying and selling them in the market and this makes the price pump and dump. So long term is always good for altcoin to make most of the profits.

I'm not sure that 2018 will be ears of altcoins. I think this year we will go in some price range in order to accumulate power for the future bullish market. After such big bitcoin rally, a lot of new investors disappointed in cryptocurrency market some we need time for new growth. I think 2019-2020 will be better for all cryptocurrency, we will see new ATH and biggest market capitalization.

I do not think so. Tokens and altcoins will live, and they are great - each of them has its own advantages. Yes, I am sure that 2018 can be called the year of alts. Many of them are gaining fast becoming popular.

In 2018, the cryptocurrency is not behaving as well as before. I'm afraid to go to the altcoins. Consider all risks.

With so much ICOs been lunch each day, alternative currency investments  and trading has improved and traders of forex and stocks are adding altcoins into their portfolio. 2018 will see more people venturing into altcoins.

I support your position. 2018 is year of altcoins, so BTC is losing dominance and we have to rebalance portfolios on order to catch this trend. I hold Neo, Stellar, Eos and Ada.
Looking for privacy coins to add in portfolio

In such a difficult period as now it is difficult to predict what will happen with altcoins throughout 2018. Most likely we will see growth.

According to your post from January 2018, compared to the present time is not true. The current market value of cryptos is tilted to the top such as BTC, ETH. Altcoins prices are always fluctuating and falling as soon as they are indexed on the trading floors. Therefore, in 2018, the high potential is still the year of BTC, ETH and the trend of investing in ICOs.

I think so and the the previous year is the year of crypto also,and next year or the incoming years is continue of the year crypto because the growth is continues.

How and why do you say so? Do you have the support knowledge to tell us why do you say so? If Bitcoin will disappear it doesn't mean everyone of them will disappear too. But i doubt that it could disappear in the future, i want to know what factors that could affect the disappearance of crypto currency in the future.

ICOs has make alternative currency become attractive to investors, so more people are entering the field. This year, hasn't reach anywhere but more than 500 ICOs are in offering and this has make this year to be altcoins year.

You can say that the digital age of digital technology has made the digital currency, and it's exciting to the market, according to experts predicting that 2018 will be the year for the top altcoin to attract. private

2018 is the year of the altcoin you can say so with the advent of blockchain technology has since moved the altcoin to the new page and for the digital currency there are more positive changes I believe 2018 is the year of the altcoin

Less likely is that btc will start another bullrun by end of this year,but we can see some growth.So if we are speaking about end of 2017 example,id say wait for 2019

The market price is indeed experiencing hard times Bitcoin and Altcoin decline prices very much. But slowly the coins are already experiencing little growth. And I think when the coins through coins on prices falling, most investors can still take advantage of the selling market. Depending on the strategy them in trade.

2018 is ERC20 Tokens year,
here is so great projects, with huge future. i think about new projects, with 10-40 mln $ marcetcap, 100-400 mln$ is so possible for all cryptocurrencyes

it seems to be a great news for the large holders of altcoin that continue to be held to this day. and it looks like I'm also part of the holder of some altcoin. and I also see the growth in the purchase volumes in some crypto markets and that's good

I do not agree that this year belongs to altcoin. That is because at the beginning of this year altcoin has not shown a significant thing. Some altcoin alone are increasing and the majority is actually declining and out of expectation. I prefer to bitcoin, our original goal is taking a safe profit then the best option for this year is bitcoin.

I agree, the market is indeed stabilizing a little of late. This gives a great opportunity to buy in on some of the coins that you think have great returns.
But returns isnt the whole story. Tech and the determination of the team (i.e, their commitment to the project is strong and they wont bail out) are also factors that you should consider. This is because the people making big bucks on bitcoin right now did not sell when it reached like 10$, 100$ or even 100$.. they held most of their stack. And to hold means the coin should have these strong features.
So to answer the question, the best coins to buy are not p&d ones (where it is easy to get burned) but those with great tech and team, like the Multiversum project.

Everyone is hoping that 2018 is the year of altcoin but I still see the Crypto market is always a bleak market, now they do not have any recovery or growth. I think they will go down in the future. Consider the coins you are holding.

It is just the beginning of the era of virtual money - the cryptocurrencies will be used everywhere. I am sure, this year many good alts like Eidoo will show their power.

At the moment, absolutely all coins and tokens, depend on the behavior of Bitcoin, including Ethereum. Therefore, personally for me, the phrase, "altcoins year" has a meaningless character.

Maybe so, because at the moment it is the altcoins that is developing well and has great intentions for the future, it also shows good in the cryptocurrency market and in General a good coin.

Nobody can stop the market from falling down. In the same way no one has the power to keep the market where it is or stop it from rising high. Digital market is a volatile one which means it keeps on changing and when it starts growing, it grows at an amazing rate. If you are expecting two to four pumps within a year then I think, that would be very unreal. One real pump is more than enough for earning tremendous amounts of profits.

I think if bitcoin goes down and keeps altcoin also will follow bitcoin price. so i think if the bitcoin in 2018 is up again the possibility of altcoin will rise all moon

HAHAHA definitely not the price action so far.  Still waiting for a big spikes.... Where are all the bulls at? Sitting on tropical islands already probably and dont give a shit about the market....;/

I think so. It seems that everyday there's several altcoins created and seems no one is controlling their quantity. Altcoins sprouts like feast of common commodity. There's joy of choosing the ones you like.

Yeah, why not, I also believe that 2018 will be the altcoins year since we have so many altcoins with 1 billion USD of market cap compared to last year even though the whole crypto market cap is still very undervalued right now. I think most altcoins will finish them MVP this year so it looks really great development wise as for price wise I think we need more hype to drive the price higher like earlier this year with a lot of positive news.

the possibility is so because I know the price of Altcoin will be good in the future and so I currently choose to hold my altcoin with long term because at this time altcoin price in the recovery period, therefore, I am sure at the end of 2018 will rise and back up and benefit in the future

Many possibilities could take leads this year. On the other hand I can say bitcoin is the top crypto this year so once price increase altcoins could perform well. So bitcoin is still leads as crypto and altcoins follow.

I would love to agree that 2018 is the altcoin year but in the same time would disagree on the point that Bitcoin crashed in 2017 due to the fact that there was a rise in the transaction cost and other stuff. Rise in the prices and other things cannot lead to such a fall in the monetary value of Bitcoin. This was rather a market disequilibrium due to the invisible hand and soothe factors like been banned by many countries in Middle East and Asia. Actually these were the reasons for the downfall of Bitcoin back in 2017 and early 2018. Things have started changing now.

 Positive news doesn’t affect crypto prices like they used to anymore, only bad news :(

Mmmm i do not think so, it seems to be the extremely opposite of that, almost all the altcoins are priced by a half of what they used to be before, so i think that this was probably not the best year for altcoins, neither for bitcoin after all.

in a small fud, everyone panics and sell their portfolio immediately, but on good news people waiting to others buying on a small pump. because of this, there is no big pumps nowadays.

The altcoins have not been so popular in this year all because of the market dip which is keep on increasing and this time the case id the altcoins rather than the bitcoin which is causing the coins to increase  in volatility and retraction investments

For me personally, altcoins are a way to make money in its infancy. The price of ICO for these coins is very favorable, the price on the exchange will be much higher. Of course not all coins will be listed. I understand that perfectly. But I hope and believe.

I agree with you, sir, indeed this year is the property of altcoins because bitcoin has experienced a significant decline so it cannot predict when bitcoin will increase again. choose altcoin so for that we have to be able to make sure which altcoin will continue to shine in the end of the year and so on for the next year to be successful and continue to be happy.

i always buy when price coins down  ;D

It seems that this year will be remembered to us as a year of stagnation of the crypto currency. This year, holders of crypto currency are very disappointed with the situation. All hope is already in the last months of the year. They can affect the situation for the better, but this year for the crypto currency will remain practically unsuccessful.

unfortunately, this is very bad for cryptocurrency maket. market goes down and always down. this is month 8 but the market still cant grow. i havent known the bad market like this ever

I don't think this year would be the year of altcoin it seems all coins are dip down now but we can't predict what happen this year just hold some altcoin together with bitcoin let's just hope that will happen..

if we talk a few years back yes in this year the price is up, but this year is the year where prices are falling different from the year 2017 or 2016 at that time the price actually increased several times, yes hope the future market will improve

Yes, this year is the worst year of the crypto market, the coins are down and probably dying, so take a careful look before making a decision to invest in this market.

This is not the year of altcoin, even for all cryptocurrency existed. This year might be bad but it's part of the progress of cryptocurrency as well. If I can tell you, this year has become so bad for crypto. Many ICOs are coming, but they don't progress well. Let's just hope that next year would be better.

I know the person meant the opposite, because this year has been the worst and trying time for alts. Technically speaking, ALT season will be expected after a series of serious consolidation of the current bear market and that is not like likely to happen this year any more. It could be 2019 or 2020

Bunch of these alt coins sucks.

In my opinion, this year will be a bad year for all Crypto investors and Crypto businesses. Because current market capitalization has fallen by more than 70% compared to the end of 2017. That is really bad and many traders have suffered a lot.
I feel this is the time for long-term investment and will be profitable in 2020.

Just a HODL year, the costitutional investors have influenced the market a lot and the crowd reacted.

Stress is not always a good advisor.

I think this 2018 is a collapse of the price of cryptocurrency because I see a lot of cryptocurrency at the exchange place falling in price.

According to you in 2018 will be the year of the coin and the bitcoin will dominate the top of the list or ethereum is still reduced or they will quickly recover prices compared to what they have lost.

2018 has turned out to be a bad correction year that everyone will like to forget and wish it was not there. Not much downside left at these prices so next year should be a good bullish year.

Indeed, what must be learned is the idea in the coin, so that we can understand the motion of each coin. Looks tempting when you see low prices but this can trap us, so ideas and development strategies must be understood before investing.

I think that in 2018 it seems like the altcoin has a lot of broken prices because of the influence of the fall in the price of bitcoin and made many people lose.

I don't think that 2018 is the year for crypto currencies,
We have been experiencing price drop since day one .

Many things happened this year, the market declined, panic and confusion in investing. This is our spice while in the crypto world. We know this uncertainty will lead us to be more critical in choosing altcoins, so this year's learning will be the provision to face next year.

I think this might well apply to 2019 and not 2018...
I think 2018 was a squeezing year... on 2017 everyone went crazy and the prices went to ridiculous highs... so it has to get back to level
It has some chances that 2019 is in fact the year of the alts with the btc stable on a lower level...
let's see  ;D

Yes bitcoin is really good but sadly some of   bitcoin pioner like roger ver and craight wrigth are creation their on coin like  bitcoin cash and bitcoin cash sv
this  is not really  good sign because its look like bitcoin pioner team are not solid anymore

Are you serious here man?this is the dying yesr for altcoins and ico project lol

How can you even say that this is a altcoin year when most of the prices in market is dropping drastically together with bitcoin?The bumber two altcoins ethereum is now drop to third position and ripple getting the post for almost a month now so where in the world you get that idea of asking this crap man

I think 2018 is a year of correction which the bloodbath has been all year long that give us unexpected prices of those quality coins. No single coins has reach a milestone for this year as all are affected with the downfall of bitcoin.

2018 was too bad for the subcoins. Towards the end of the year the market collapsed. 2018 entered the blacklist. I hope 2019 is a good year for the crypto world.

Right guys ... it looks like in 2018 there will be no such thing as a bull market ... and it looks like we have to be patient longer to wait for where the price of bitcoin will rise again in 2019.

I think that the that bitcoin fell this normally. The bubble can't inflate forever. At some point it was supposed to burst. Bitcoin was going up too fast. 2018 is the year of the fall of all coins. Only some altcoins had good growth, so I wouldn't call 2018 the year of altcoins.

This year is indeed a year that does not provide good response to crypto, this is a challenge to be able to understand the true nature of crypto, so learning to be patient and wait is an attitude that must be fostered for future improvement.

2018 is the worse year for cryptocurrency, many coins are down so deep
Many ICOs fail too. I affraid to buy any coins because of that

I'm not too sure this year is the year of altcoin because you can see the current condition of the altcoin price falling very deep and making many traders lose because they are stuck at high prices.

2018 is the worst year of altcoin, I never thought that the market would collapse so, so I lost quite a lot, while the time I participated in the price of the coin is very high

This is not a altcoin problem because all the coins are depends on bitcoin so once Bitcoin will going to moon, Automatically all the coins are follow the way. But this year is completed in few weeks so majority of the peoples are stay away in altcoin and Bitcoin, May be market will back to form in 2019 so keep watch the continuous status is the only hope.

No it is not true. Because first 3 to 4 months of 2018 were golden for earning from crypto market. Now it is time to invest again if someone wants to earn more in next or may be 2020. Hardly there are 2 to 3 altcoins which are trying to survive in this bearish market. Like LOC and AE but still they are down and going down further. This time is bad for all currencies.

It seems you are late in making decisions so that you are losing your money. TPI calm down market does not collapse, they just crashed. time will make them grow back, you just have to wait for him.

No altcoins is going to prosper unless the btc price gets correction and start gradually moving upwards.Btc is the king and still now we have more btc trading pairs than any other stable coin pairs.tether usdc and many other stable coins have come up which helps people buying altcoins without buying btc but still there are tons of altcoins which cannot be bought directly with fiat.So unless the overall market starts growing the things will stay as it is.Whenever btc moves left right some pump and dump is usually seen in some altcoins having decent volumes but still the risks are quite high.

in early yes, but since march until dec will be worse year ever, all price coin since that continue dwon.
i think this year not for crypto all coin drop above 60%, all people going crazy, many ico late for distribution, late listing on exchange.
i think we can hear good news in next year.

Yes, s we can see 2018 was really altcoin year but in negative sense. If we will compare percentage of BTC drop and most of alts drop - BTC will win.

Holding is a very good choice for now when the market is down. In reality, we do not know what tomorrow will give us. Thus, simply keep you cryptocurrencies and do not sell anything.

Yes, if 2017 will be remembered as a year of the greatest growth of the cryptocurrencies and the largest hype around Bitcoin, 2018 will be left in the crypto history as the period of the market depression and collapse.

It's true that 2018 is the altcoins year, the reason is that so many altcoins have sprung up this year, coupled with the many ICOs that have supported their existence to be more active in the crypto market.
I think the above is included as one of the reasons for the fall in the price of bitcoin, because then of course it has caused investors' funds not to focus on bitcoin, because according to what I know investors are more likely to like and try something new such as the New Altcoin and ICO.

Unfortunately, 2018 has become the year of disappointments for most of us. The majority of the cryptocurrencies lost up to 80% of their 2017 price. Many tokens have died. Waiting for 2019 - it can be better than this year.

I think the best name for this year is going to be the year of the fall. Altcoins were at the peak of popularity in 2017, if I'm not mistaken. Today, many people think about whether to enter the altcoins.

Altcoins are performing very poorly this day and I think 2018 many coins come into the market and are not doing very good now.  Trading altcoins for fiat is very difficult and that makes them not be able to work independently.

Yes now we have that one option to hold our coins for the time being when the market is up. Till that time we have to collect as many coins as possible and in this year it is easy and possible to earn a lot and to buy a lot as in the next year you will find it hard to collect as in the next year the price will be very high.

I guess this is one of the most inaccurate topic I have seen this year:) Unfortunately 2018 is lost year for all crypto market and we lost big money in 7-8 months, and market may get worse soon.

I agree. It seems 2018 is the worst year for altcoin. The ETH dropped about 95%.

I can give 2018 many names including these ones - stagnation period, bloodbath, market depression. However, I will never call it the year of altcoins as soon as most tokens lost a lot.

Yes, this year should be called the year of sorrow on the falling coins than a year alithinou or bitcoins. And 2017 can generally lie a year of cryptocurrency pamp.

Yes, 2018 is altcoins year, I guess that most of altcoins are worthy , but you have to make analysis about most of them.
Buying altcoins without analysis is weird activity.

2018 turned to be the year of the great market fall. When Bitcoin started going down, the tokens followed it. Unfortunately, many altcoins lost up to 80%-90% of their 2017 winter price.

I think early in 2018 was good. The end and the middle was very bad. 2019 will be worse for me. 2020 will be the year of awakening because people will understand its value again.

No! That is a big no for me. If this year will be the altcoins year, then I will be a millionaire right now. A lot of ICO I have joined recent months but they do not contribute to my portfolio when they hit on exchange. Most of them are scam projects and have failed products. Top altcoins going down also like eyhereum, ripple and litecoin. From peak down to bottom when quarter 4 goes on.

in 2018 I think it is a bad year for altcoins, I see if now altcoin is still in a good position and potentially, but the increase in ethereum can be significant in 2019 and that might become a reality

Ethereum's one of my best.

This isn't the best altcoin for this year and I don't think that there's one for this year. Every cryptocurrency is at fall so I think there's no coin that can be called as the best coin for this year. Time flies so fast, this thread is just asking of it before and now we have an answer.

Nearing 2018 can bring us many moments and bring us many hopes that we will prepare together for 2019. I hope everything will be better and we will There are many things to hope for in the digital market

This 2018 price is the worst price for all cryptocurrency and many people are stuck at expensive prices so your prediction about 2018 is not right because all the cryptocurrency prices collapse.
