Like the title, is this the year of other altcoins and ICOs rather than the Bitcoin?
Due to the last problems in the Bitcoin blockchain like increasing fees and time transaction, the increasing interest on this world will bring more valuable scenario in others cryptos?

Yes it will be the year of the alts,if and only if the BTC goes sideways but the lightning network will be released soon so lets hope thats not too soon so we can enjoy the alts.

what you mean about the lightning network?

Anything that is not Bitcoin is an Altcoin.

This pretty much be the year of altcoins as those who started last year in crypto would now have known about the alts already.

in terms of increasement, i think that it will be, a lot of altcoins are rising much more quickly than bitcoin, and this is not because bitcoin is "outdated" or something else, it is only because they want to make more money.

Why do you think that a lot of people is now investing in ICO's or just in any other thing that gives them money?

Because they want to make a quick buck, and as fast as they can, this is the real fucking truth, and there isn't anything left to explain, so yes, this will be the altcoin's year.

yes,like last year the cryptocurrency market will boom in 2018 also as it is just beginning of awareness about cryptocurriencies to the new people due to its unexpected profits last year.

I think also so because of this year altcoin like ethereum, bitcoin with cash and bitcoin gold very popular dikalangan bitcoiner because of the market price of her very give a surprise.

it's true if for daily trading on altcoin I think this year will be a very good year for some of the names on altcoin and of course it will be different with bitcoin. I think everyone will make a long-term investment with bitcoin. and the bitcoin price movements that may be on the rise will, of course, continue to be followed by some value from altcoin that will continue to accompany the increase in the price of bitcoin. I see this sort of thing happened in the previous year where at that time the price increase of bitcoin will tend to go hand in hand with price increases on some altcoins.

Invest on sia,xrp,trx,tel you can be rich. and ico too

Yes it is, and i know that this is their year. They are alot higher this year and i know that this will be their year.

Most likely, yes.

YES, but from June 2018. It cannot happen at the moment ;D

There will always be new coins to replace the old ones and this has happened in the past, where the top altcoins from years ago become irrelevant.

Maybe this year will be the year of ethereum because at the beginning of the year it shows a good sign of increament in price but recently the crypto market is collapsed due to the regulation of crpyo curreny in China and South Korea so every coin price was crashed.So now it is hard to predict which coin will give good profits in this year.

Actually it is depends on how certain altcoin has a realistic vision or not.
When a new born altcoin just come up without clear mission and pretty obvious looking for a quick gain and dump it all then there is no future for that kind altcoin.
So far i cannot see bitcoin itself could be replaced by any altcoin , not even with the recent bitcoin fees issue.

There is a possibility but very rare,the crashing now of bitcoin is also has a negative impact to the altcoins. Aside from that this negative that happening now with bitcoin is become double to the altcoins. So saying that now is the time for altcoins generally is not Bose on reality, maybe few of the altcoins but only when bitcoin will rise again.

I think so.
Bitcoin developers can allow it to happen the year of altcoins. I believe they are the one who can control the crypto world motion.

Yes your title and explanation is very much true and brings us to the world where we gonna use lot of altcoins to invest this year. This will automatically increase the market cap for the alt community and thus we will see rise in the prices of the bitcoin. Im sure that there are few of the alt coins which are going to be even closer in the prices to that of bitcoin. For example, ETH (#1 to reach near the bitcoin), XRP (#2 to reach to current ETH prices) and there is IOTA which could be near to LTC. I am not sure about LTC because its really getting up and down too quickly but there are chances that it will spike too. So yeah in generalised idea this one looks to be year of alts.

I think this year it will year of other altcoin.
There are many altcoins have a great potential and I hope it will more great.

Probably yes,experts says this year would be year of the alts thats why btc are keep doing sideways instead of bull runs.

OP actually everyday here of many coins are good so don't compare it in btc because it's already go well now even we have some problems sometimes in btc i know a lot of problems or i experience all the problem here but in that situation is some way also to earn like the time of btc in 2017 august fork and it's still going well,now altcoins are good for investing because most of coins now really go low price or not well.

I think so.
With the necessary addition of restrictions for bitcoin and eth in 2018, there will be a lot of new ico and altcoin.

We've seen a 2017 boom, and 2018 will continue.
But there are too many scams ico.

I think that it will, a lot of altcoins have already made more than x3 - x5 since this year started, so yes, for me, this year will be the YEAR for altcoins, and almost everybody agrees with me. Just let's see how it goes, but yes, a lot of altcoins are going to keep increasing just in a few days from now.
It is incredible, but bitcoin will decrease a lot.

Without bitcoin there is no alt coin, If having a bunch of shills posting here is considered as the increase of interest then year of alt coins is this year :D ICO's are not alt coins, They are just using the technology, Alternative to bitcoin should be mine able, Not insta mined.

It's definitely a year of different cryptocurrencies. Maybe the last year of overpriced hysteria around all this  stuff

I think the development of ICO will be a bit hampered, this is all due to the increasing regulation that limits the making of ICO. In the past many ICOs have sprung up, but in the end they have become SCAMs. This is what regulators want, now we have witnessed that the existing ICO is fairly reliable and usually ends successfully. So for the growth of the new ICO I think it will be hampered, but the belief in Altcoin that already exist seems to increase better than in 2017.

I partially agree with this statement. Bitcoin is just getting started if you ask me and it still has a long way to go. I feel that it might touch $40k by the end of this year and it would aim for $100k next year and nothing can stop a force like bitcoin which is why I believe that 2018 will still be the year of bitcoin. On the other hand, many altcoins will obviously flourish this year due to the rally by bitcoin and many other reasons. Personally, I think that Ethereum, DeepOnion, Stellar Lumens, Electroneum will dominate the crypto space through out this year which is why it will also be the year of altcoins too.

Wasn't last year altcoins' year as well? The point is, as long as the demand outweighs the current supply, price will always go up.

Yes, is the year of other altcoins.Last year the growth of altcoins grew more.Now their applications are growing.

I am not an advocate of denoting this or that year, the year of altcoins, or vice versa, by the year of some kind of coins. I think that the growth in the number of projects will never end, until the iron hand of the regulator appears, which will shuffle through the pockets of investors and collect taxes.

Some altcoins this is the year to boom their price in the market. Some altcoins didnt survive some really become huge its value. So if bitcoin continues to be stable at this current price, altcoin will increase its value.

yes, i think this year eth and  zcash will back to 0.12 btc xD

Lets claim it as of this early time, Bitcoin and other altcoins will still bloom this year and for a more profitable journey even 2017 has been a challenging and surprising year for both Bitcoin and altcoins, especially with Bitcoin that marks the history of reaching its highest point of value in the market, same with other altcoins like Ethereum that seconded Bitcoin in the market. And this year 2018, it is another challenging year for them, now that price and value is totally fluctuating also rumors are spreading for a big crash.

Yes, I am fully agreed with your opinion that 2018 is the year of altcoins like 2017.many good altcoins make there new highs in 2017 and give unexpected growth which was not imagined.

Yes I believed 2018 will the year of the Altcoins. People now preferred to invest in altcoin than bitcoin because altcoins are more profitable. But I still believed that Bitcoin will still be number in terms of marketcap. Bitcoin will consolidate for a few months or a year before making a big move again.

If you have that much altcoins to hold you will probably say that it's the year of altcoins and if you are focused with bitcoin then every year is the year of bitcoin. The problem regarding the fees and confirmation delays on bitcoin's transaction we are dealing with can be solved soon but no idea on when it will exactly going to happen. Last year (2017), bitcoin, ETH and other altcoins moved crazily so it's better to say that 2018 is the year of cryptocurrencies, let's generalized it.

Since last year it had been the year of the ICO's.
There are too many of them to be mentioned. But as we can see there have been millions of dollars that had been invested to them.
With that happening, bitcoin investors have been halved making bitcoin just reach 19k dollars which could have been 40k dollars.
Now more and more of them are doing business in other coins. Maybe it could be the reason of the big fall.

I hope that this is not just the year for bitcoin only but the year for altcoin because this year give a good progress to cryptocurrency and the government is trying to open their eyes and realize that cryptocurrency exists among them. the interest of people is increase also and now we can see that for bitcoin price, there is a good time to increase higher and this also happen to altcoin too. I don't know about any scenario that maybe happens but I only see that this year, cryptocurrency will spread louder than before.

Yes i think it is their year, their value is higher compared last year and i know that this is their year

Well, i can say it's a yes or just a nice timing of altcoins and others ICO to pump it over the bitcoin and a blockchain that comes in a big dump of its value. People who have investing of altcoins and ico because they think and believe they are good potential coin are more profitable this year.

2018 very good year for Spectrecoin (XSPEC) privacy coin with better tech

One of the best privacy coins in 2018:

Automatically Adjusted Ring Signatures
Stealth Addresses
PoSv3 60 sec transactions algorithm
5-10% staking depending on the weight of the network
Mobile app Q2 2018
Innovative first ever in crypto staking algorithm on Stealth Addresses

You might be right. Because up till last couple of day I thought this year will be again bitcoin's year but I apparently changed my mind. The reason is when btc was recovering a bit, strong alts was recovering way faster than that.

maybe, what you say can come true. there are so many complaints about transaction costs and delays. this becomes a dilemma for all of us. but I still believe, bitcoin will bring a lot of performances this year.

There is a possibilitu that altcoins are getting more right now.For bitcoins have its ups lately last year.I think ethereum will be better also this time and some other altcoins too can have a chance.

It could be that Ethereum will be the biggest project of the year, look at Altcoin all their projects related to Ethereal and payments using Ethereal token, this is amazing.

Yeah definitely! The cryptomarket Cap is getting bigger. This year is a chance to other altcoins and ico to show up. Due to transaction problem on bitcoin, mostly new ico are using alt platform as gateway to the cryptoworld.
We are now overflowing of good/ best ico for this year that will bring a good profit to the investors.

Yes already looking like its the year for altcoin where major crypto currency like ethereum , waves , NEM, Monero some ther will go to moon for sure some more projects like Ethlend , Power ledger , CAG , Centra really making good move . Overall if you having proper strategy you will get big profit this year.

I was thinking that before we face the very serious issue from south korea which is making the most of crypto currency value was very strong down more than our imagination. However now already start recovering.

Altcoin are going to be well recognize and accepted this year,as alot of project roadmap has major implimentations for there project in 2018

My opinion is that the altcoins are the new "wild west" and you will have the biggest gains here but also the biggest losses.

If you do your research I think you can narrow down the coins that are worth investing :)

I think this will be the year of ETH. But Bitcoin will go back to at least 20k if the negative news from Asia and Europe dont continue bringing it down

Every coin other than bitcoin is altcoin, so you don't need to write "other" with altcoins.
Exactly the investment is now diversified in differnt cryptos and this is the reason why bitcoin is not rapidly growing as like in 2017.
Well you can't say it that this year would be better or best for alts because all alts have different market reputation and background, so we can't take all alts in same category.

In 2018 we will see that there aren't many old altcoins in market. I have read a lot of text about, how new generation blockchain technology projects will take old projects's place. I think that this is likely to happen. Projects that can't adapt to development and that are behind technological progress will go away and the rest will be valued as much in 2018.

I’m sure that although the market price again down but I still sure, altcoin will be able to jaya in year 2018.

Very sure handful of them have increased significantly since the start of the year even after the market rumble, i don't believe they can regain value immediately.

This will be the year of altcoins for sure.Just because more people starting to be aware of the crypto market  and the possibility to earn money fast, like you couldn't do with any other asset.

Absolutely. Coins with utility are the next step, where blockchain proves it has actual practical value.

Yes I think that bitcoin will still grow 1x-5x , but the prices of other cryptocurrencies will be get closer and closer to bitcoin (and gain 10x-1000x), even it is possible than some alcoins get a higher price than bitcoin  if they get adopted massively. Im sure this will be the year of the Altcoins!  ;)

Yes, this normally happens but let us just see what will the place of all coins in the market will be. I think bitcoin are rising up again right now but there are really many alts who are rising most especially when the btc's price fell down. But I am very positive of the price of btc, that it will be stable in soon time.

There are number of crypto coins in the world of crypto currency and most of them are newly introduced and above all, are less costly as compared to that of bitcoin and ETH. This is why most of the investors are investing in these low cost coins as they lack sufficient resources to go for investing in costly coins. I don’t really think so that these altcoins will die in the coming years.

The graphics on the crypto money market are very variable. but the color of your btc chart is green nowadays. then it will affect the effect in the altcoins. then the price of the altcoins will rise.

I really do believe that this year is the best year for Altcoins and there are so many Altcoins have been performing and pumping well since last year.
Some of them are new Altcoins but they made it to the Top Altcoins so I am really sure that the Altcoins that I am holding right now will pump more and the feeling that they are already offering me higher return of investment so I could use it to reach my life goals into reality.

Indeed, the fact that Altcoins are rising and pumping while Bitcoin is on it's stable state as it always around $10,000 since last month until today.
This is the best year for Altcoins because I am holding Altcoins since last year and this year they're even offering me higher chances of getting more earnings as I am holding more than a dozen of Altcoins that almost all of them are performing well.
I really like Cryptocurrency because it offers me higher earning than my full-time job.

Altcoins will never die this year or I should say altcoins will not die. But the fact that there are many supplies of altcoin in the market and not withstanding the demand of all the consumers, the values of every altcoin may have the tendency to go down because of the greater supply of different kinds of altcoins in the industry. That is one of the disadvantages of having many altcoins.

Some people believe that platform coins, i.e., ethereum, neo, stellar, nem etc. will be those that are next on the list to potentially succeed btc.

But know this -> in the world of crypto no one really knows for sure.

Do your own research. Trust your own guts.

Bitcoin is a speculative instrument. Now there are a lot of altcoins with technologies that are so much better than bitcoin technology.
Therefore, it seems to me that in 2018 will focus  to altcoins and ICO.

Maybe it is, not sure at all but definitely some coins might blown within this year. It's only the community making such changes that reflects it's prices on the market chart. All investors are very concerned on their investment which make the crypto market now are in high competition.

If the bitcoin boom is 2017, investment trends have shifted to ICO and altcoins by 2018. Bitcoin has many problems dealing with users of longtime transactions, high transaction costs compared to other cryptos. It is understandable that people are moving to investing in altcoins as well as ICOs.

We can agree that ICOs have overpowered their space practically in recent months, i believe that this year is the year of modulation and reformulation of the concepts and tends to success, everything will depend on the next months. In relation to the non-ICO altcoins, began the year in great barriers that went broken estimated to later years. To summarize, in my opinion 2018 is the year of surprises for ICOS and altcoins in general.

i think yes for sure, if bitcoin reach 17K again it will be altcoin party like the last time 😂 lets we see, we wish all altcoin going new ath ;)

year of altcoin and ICO actually started last year.
we can see last year almost every day appeared altcoin new and bounty new is endless.
the problem is whether they really run it seriously or just raise funds and make a profit after it is ignored.
when that happens then many investors will bear the losses.

Most of them have already cashed the collected crypto and enjoying the sun on their yachts decks.

Hi all! This is definitely the year of alts! To help me get started and identify alts to read up on, I made a text mining bot, that searches for cryptocurrency related news(tweets for now) and I will analyse the data generated to identify potential Altcoins for us to further research on. I hope that this can encourage healthy discussions amongst us and build a better informed crypto community in the long run.

the results are on cryptocatanalytics.com I hope that this can help to provide a starting point for what alts to consider as they are more likely to have more information to read up on. Cheers and see u at the moon!  ;D

I believe that 2018 will be a great year for some Altcoin, that will bloom like BTC did recently, but it won't be a quick process, I think that we must wait for the second half of the year for any concrete changes. That because, in my opinion, people will be still thrilled by BTC and will look around when BTC will not be enough for them

I would say yes neither no. Year by year more and more altcoins are appearing, but I believe the golden age is not yet to come

Fees and transaction times are now a thing of the past, what altcoin will overthrow Bitcoin now? Hard to imagine one, but if it does come close it will have an actual use-case in this world other than being quick and cheap imho.

i agree with you, friend. i am pretty sure that it is a very nice chance to earn money on altcoins. and i think investing altcoins is more suitable for people who don't have a lot of money to invest

There're many virtual currencies, litecoin, NEO, IOTA, etc. Almost all of them are now on the rise and differ from each other on the whole insignificantly. Any of them can become a star of 2018. However, analysts are not tired of reminding potential investors about the risks associated with supporting new technologies.

this year the crypto money investors started on. this year it will not be the year of the altcoin. because the colors of the graphics are always red. I think it's bad at the moment

I think this will be the year of the privacy coin.  Coins like DeepOnion are going to become very valuable by the end of the year. 

I do not think Bitcoin will still survive this way in the future. Coins with intelligent contracts like Ethereum will rise faster in the future.

I agrèe with your thoughts sir.Probably this year,it's their time to shined because if we recall how Ethereum started.It took only 3 years to reached at the number 2 spot after bitcoin.No one is expecting that it will happen.But for me,still no altcoins can surpass bitcoin whether in terms of investments or in terms of how popular this coin is.Because bitcoin has the biggest value in terms of market capitalization.

I believe that every altcoin has the same chance to grow in this year because many people right now are trying to join into cryptocurrency world and they buy any type of coins and sell if they see that they can make a profit. but if they don't make any profit, they will hold until the price increase higher. but I will only stick with the top twenty of coinmarketcap because these coins have a good progress and if that coin gets an increase, the price will getting an increase too higher.

Last year was indeed a very well performance for Bitcoin and Altcoins and we are all looking forward for this year that everything is doing well and this year should be the best year for Crypto Market than the past years.
Bitcoin is not that performing well since last month but it does not mean Bitcoin will be having a bad time all way down to the end of the year. As we try to look back in the past years then we should see that every first quarter of the year would be the hardest time of Bitcoin and Crypto Market as well.

It is a good year for altcoins especially to the ICOs since cryptocurrencies are a good choice for long-term or short-term investments depending on the investor. Also, it is profitable if it's successful or not a scam.

I disagree, because Bitcoin do have a good future and developers don't let that happen that Bitcoin will lose it's rank as the most valuable Crypto and the most important coin in the market.
Ethereum maybe could surpass Bitcoin's place but when we talk about Bitcoin's crashing then that would not happen as in general market cap - Bitcoin holds the dominance over all Cryptos in the market.

Yes this is the year of other altcoins and ICOs. As we are seeing that other altcoins are being issued with vary much good features and promises to make the system much more easier to use, and yet with even more new technology, so we can say that altcoins have good future. But one thing that we cannot deny that not all altcoins will survive. Only those coins that have good features and potentiality will survive.

I absolutely do not agree with you here. Upcoming features like Lightning network and mainstream adoption of Segwit will continue to help boost the value of bitcoin in both the short term and the long term. Bitcoin has slowed down at the moment, but it will continue rise again through a major rally most likely in a few months. Popular altcoins like Ethereum, Litecoin, Dashcoin, Ripple, Monero etc will continue to surge and record new all time highs since their values will surge along with bitcoin value later this year which is why I believe this year will be even better than last year for both bitcoin and altcoins.

All right, you need to pay more attention to the alts, which are cheaper in price and very promising. Already about a thousand of them exist on the market, but somewhere around a hundred will really surprise us and make us fall in love with them. So let's move on.

I think 2018 will be the year of ERC20 Security tokens. My guess is that we will see a large influx of companys doing ICOs with the purpose of using tokens as shares of the company. The law is abit shady on it as of right now, but with all the KYC and Polymath i think we're heading in the right direction.

My thoughts this year is altcoins will be having a big growth in the market. We have seen a good performance of other altcoins last year.  So this year I think would be a good year as long their is support from the users itself and more development should met.

I think the bear market has come, and the bubble of the whole cryptocurrency market has started to burst, so this may not be very friendly to altcoin, because most altcoin has no value, just shit.

In my opinion since cryptocurrency growing, some altcoin actually promising higher profit than Bitcoin.  Because some altcoin has cheap price and big demand,  and this year some altcoin also will promising more profit than Bitcoin because the price of Bitcoin too high.

altcoin will continue to grow in 2018. and an estimated number of new altcoin that will appear next year will be more.
the hard fork strategy will be re-used in 2018,
in addition to hard fork, the new altcoin launching tendency is from an increasingly diverse range of product innovations but the growing emergence of negative issues that corner cryptocurrency. Issues such as illegal, money games, forms of fraud to the risk of bubble economy continue to be exhaled by those who want to inhibit the growth of cryptocurrency.

In my opinion, it is better to make your own research and trust your guts.

The most of the privacy coins are undervalued right now.

The best opportunity is to find a privacy-related project with a low total supply (less than 100M), that way the price will be increasing much faster.

I recently found one project called Ethereum Meta, it is related to anonymity and untraceable transaction. They have a very interesting project to build the Anonymous E-Market Place.

They are on Pre-ICO stage right now, you can check their website: https://ethermeta.com/
Or even better go through their Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2659058.0

It is a good idea to invest in private altcoin and in small quantities, which will be extremely potential altcoin in the near future. ICO projects are getting a lot of attention from the community and that is an opportunity for you to find better projects.

i think that altcoins are going to be very interesting investments this year. especially taking part in serious ico projects. the most difficult part of it is choosing the right ico/altcoin. cause not all of them are profitable.

This is definitely the year of other altcoins, and by other altcoins, I mean coins with less than 100mUSD marketcap. One of the coins I really see a lot of potential for is Marinecoin. This is a coin that has been around for more than 4 years, and was once the main rival altcoin to bitcoin. They are currently airdropping 450k MTCs for the first 20,000 people who qualify for the airdrop. As far as I'm concerned, it's the deal of 2018.

Although many of the altcoins are being revealed as a scam or even better coins with no purpose, in the end, they will still keep coming because of the greed. Certain developers are hoping for the high profit even if the specified coin has no clear plan or purpose. Investors are usually deceived by the false advertisement but if the project is destined to fail it is often revealed in the middle of the ICO.

Investors are sometimes to trustful and their fingers are working without the prior thinking and because of that start demand can be very promising for the false projects which have nothing to add in a long term. Altcoins will keep coming even in the bigger numbers than before. Investors are the ones which must judge will they give the specified altcoin proper push or drawback.

Realistically, Yes. I mean bitcoin can go 2x-10x, sure no problem. But these other new alts can do 20x-100x without a doubt. So yes it is the new of Altcoins and a new generation of millionaires.

But bitcoin is safer to hold as a long-term investment. yeah while an altcoin may possibly rise several folds in a short time because they have small volumes and very rapid fluctuations, of course it can be very risky for investors. I myself think that bitcoin will still dominate for the next few years.

I still hold bitcoin even though now the bitcoin price is down, but I will wait until the end of the year to sell it and currently I still trust bitcoin to go back up the price.

This is the year of cryptocurrencies because a lot more people and big companies are coming right now and joining us so because they are believing on the blockchain technology. So expect Bitcoin and altcoins to set their new ATH. Goodluck.

It certainly could be, thinking the continuing pressure big goverments are creating over btc like china for example privacy coins could see a huge soar. I have my put on Zoin: a privacy coin that looks increadibly promising.

I personally still make bitcoin as a long-term investment besides being more secure than altcoin, if for short-term investing I prefer altcoin because of the fluctuations fast enough to produce a short gain, if we can take advantage of the fluctuations in altcoin there will be many advantages we get, but there is a considerable risk behind big profits, you have to know when the time is right to start buying and when the right time to sell, so you do not fall into price fluctuations that can make you lose

I am also confused with the future of bitcoin, will always come coins that have better technology and innovation ahead, because technological developments will always move forward but bitcoin has a lot of loyal users and supporters, look at all ETH users are bitcoin users as well, but BTC users are not necessarily users of ETH ?

Most definitely. It is doing super well right now! Looking forward to a lot more great work in the crypto world!

I think last year was the year of crypto's. There are a lot of altcoins trying to join the exchange but they were rejected. Maybe they were trying to be strict because there are thousands of alts that was listed already. There are still altcoins which ended up being successful but who knows until when. What I am sure of is that there are investors who were willing to take the risk and buy cheap coins on the ICO.

How can you sure that year 2018 is the year for altcoins?
We cannot totally says that because some altcoins are not having some enough or stable financial funds for their projects, so sometimes they have been delisted from exchanges.

I think there are many projects offer to be a good project but for me, bitcoin is still the best technology and bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency that giving a good chance to people so they can use bitcoin to make money or use bitcoin as their investment. eth is also a good technology and both bitcoin and ethereum have a big supporters and they still give the best support to each of coin. I still believe that bitcoin will still survive in the future and it makes people use their money to invest in bitcoin.

Altcoins are doing well recently. It's still far from beating Bitcoin, but not impossible. With the value it has and it's value trend, time may come that an altcoin will replace bitcoin. But of course, it would be difficult to know which altcoin will work best and will succeed.

Many altcoins would be announced this year, the market would gain a positive responses from the investor. Many comes to invest in altcoins. This year would be the year of altcoins.

Yes some of them i think is the year of altcoin because there are good coin so there are growing and rising. And im not wonder if they become a new generation and well develope altcoin that can be give a lot of opportunities to many people. And i do really believe that this is the year of altcoin that have potential.

The situation has already changed, as on February 26 a new version of Bitcoin 0.16.0 was released, which is fully supported by SegWit. In this regard, all bitcoin problems associated with the poor scalability of bitcoin and high commission fees for transactions should disappear. Bitcoin will soon have to come and therefore it will grow well in price. However, really, I hope that this year will be the year of altcoys, when they can develop well, multiply, bring people benefits and, of course, grow in value.

But I wonder what will be the special event we are expecting to happen which will be making this year as then year of altcoins. When there will be no proper reason which are making this year as special then there will be no meaning of expecting this year as year of altcoins.

In my opinion, last year itself many altcoins have found their biggest growth of their lifetime. When altcoin's value is the measurement of marking a year as year of altcoin then it may happen this year also as bitcoin will be continuing its growth with this year also.

Market conditions are very unpredictable, no one can predict it. If this is an altcoin or ICO year, I think this is good news for investors. But we know that bitcoin prices are still in stable condition.

Crypto-development goes further, new tokens come now and will come in the future with this development. The question for us is to try predicting perspectives of certain tokens. Some of them have obvious prospects.
For example - Velix.ID,  with its fantastic idea of storing all personal information using blockchain technology and giving access to it using digit code.  Even in case of buying online, it will no longer need to fill a lot of fields.  Velix.ID will do its best. I suppose it's real revolution in personality's verification.  Find out more about Velix.ID and make your decision:

Allow me to disagree with you. Now bitcoin has launched its light network upgrade and payments have become quite fast and not expensive. Therefore, you can argue here. Although for translations there are faster and less expensive altcoyins.

Then we should expect that bitcoin will also has the big chance to be more profitable due to its development has already been upgraded. On the other side, there are also speculations that this is also a year for altcoin. Well, due to so many altcoins that is being created I think there is also a big chance that this is the year of altcoin. Everything happens if everyone will believe for what they are believing.

I hope for such a scenario. and I think March-April will show whether the year 2018 will be the year of altcoins and ICO.
Some altcoins have overtaken bitcoin in technology, but bitcoin is the progenitor of all cryptocurrency, bitcoin will always be the first!

There so many altcoins going out now in crypto market,maybe all of this having a big potential and profitable,but f we  say the major coins is compared to the new altocoins now,i thinks we  need more  prove to determine that this all new altcoins is capable to entittled in this current year to become the "year of altcoin",because if we compared the price value now and popularazation i thinks there is a big difference.

I also think this year will be the year of altcoin. there are some names that are very big and famous. the rise in bitcoin prices will also increase followed by increases in altcoin prices. maybe this is a good time to invest in a long period of time in altcoin.

This is the year that still holds to bitcoin and he still remains at the top of his championship. Altkoiny also gaining momentum, but other currencies will not be able to surpass these two heroes.

Will i think altcoin on this year got bad price. They got bad start of this year. My altcoin always down. I didnt have good profit on them. But we hope it will fixed this month of march. But too early to decide that if altcoin will be pump or dump..

It is early to decide that it is the year of the oyher Alternative coins now. Because as we see in the top list, the tanked has no changed
.still the bitcoi is number one and after that he ethereum. .maybe we can decide if the mid year comes when many investors and projects make about the cryptocurrency so let's see

Maybe this year it's altcoin so they started last year with Crypto, because I think everyone is investing in the long run with bitcoin because cannot see bitcoin can be replaced with altcoin other

I'm not sure of the more experienced people, but I personally am scared to ever get my hopes up too much on predicting the crypto space. It is still interesting and we have something to talk about, but I think the market will always surprise us. New things happen on a regular basis (remember last December's mind boggling altrun when btc was bearish?).

Who knows, we will face a year that btc is at 10k. Unlikely, I know. And who knows, we'll have a 3 months more of a bear trend which will melt all alts.

Then again, alts were melted TWICE last year and still ended up on the up side!

yes. for me this year is for ethereum, rather than bitcoin, ethereum has a potentials than bitcoin in term of demand but not in value, as a top 2 crypyo currency, ethereum will soon to skyrocket soon as more ICO finished this second quarter of this year (2018). although bitcoin had to be on top, eth must be to second of it.

It seems to me that there will be a repeat of last year. In the spring or summer there should be good growth in the altcoyins. Then correction. Then again, growth. At the moment, all altkoins are very dependent on bitcoin.

There are a lot of good ICOs to look at.  Check out the ICO for RLCoin, an enterprise solution for loyalty: www.rlcoin.io.  The product has existing traction with 250 clients and partners in Europe and Asia.

What are you trying to say is that no other altcoin can replace bitcoin, you are very true by that but the question of our fellow member is that if this is the year of altcoins and I think the answer is yes because of the fact that bitcoin suffered so much redness in the market lately that is why the altcoins are taking advantage of the shocking dip of the value of bitcoin.

In the world of altcoins, there are number of crypto coins and most of them are newly introduced altcoins. However, one thing is very much true and that is the demand of the altcoins is increasing very much significantly and that the ones who are investing their money into altcoins are making out some good money out of it. These coming days will prove out to be very much favorable for the ones investing in altcoins.

With Bitcoin's rise to fame and legend and the popularity of apps like coinbase and other cryptocurrency exchanges, altcoins are rising fast. Ethereum, Litecoin ...

It may be. Many types of new cryptocurrencies are growing and existing currently. We can see many ICOs offer their product within their token. Of course, it will give us more choices to invest. Many of them offer their best coins with their platform and technology. They promote their best product. however, we should be smart regarding this situation. Never be a panic-sale or buy. Everything should be considered even the new coins or Bitcoins. I'm sure that new coins emerge with their best product. Some good coins may be able to develop and compete each other. Let's see how those altcoins will be on the lists.
