I feel 2017 gains was a once in a lifetime opportunity and we won't see anything like it again.

January 2017
https://i.imgur.com/9iXza9E.png

Many of the top 100 coins with a considerably small investment could have made you a millionaire today, and congrats to those who are.

$10000 in ETH at the time and you would never need to work again.

I just can't see these gains happening again, but anything can happen

Oh dam you, that’s really nostalgic stuff dude. !

Feels cracking my balls when I see that one and when I remind myself that I never inevsted a lot in that year. Look at those numbers, they are crazy low man.

But let’s not loosen out hopes, the thing is we can still choose few of the remaining coins that will pump this year end.

Yes, I’m pretty sure that ETH is going to make some good moves. So +1 to that one from my side.

What happened last 2017 stays there and 2018 will be a brighter year for cryptocurrecies.
we may see sea of red but it doesn't stay there, we can also see a field of healthy plants sometimes.
i do believe that January is not the time for crypto and we need to wait for the 2nd month of the year.

2017

18 billion --> 618 billion = ~34x

2018

618 billion x 34x = ~21 trillion

Can't happen the growth is too high, despite that though we can still have good gains this year.

Absolutely it won't happen again, considering that 2017 is a great year of bitcoin which mark and make history in cryptoworld. We can't say that 2018 is a dam year for bitcoin, I know this year is still a good year for crypto but it happens only that bitcoin price is getting dumping to much which the community never expect it to happen. But, in the opposite sides Ethereum and some altcoins coins are keeping on positive sides which is good.

I think we will see another rally in 2018 but I am not sure about the time and date for this! But I think nobody can predict this :D You should watch out for some newcommers that have great ideas, watch out for some gems under the radar!

Of course, crypto is relatively new and in my opinion we are early adopters. There are lots good projects which I honestly think can compete with bitcoin, for example stellar, ripple although i don't like it at all but it seems that people don't care much about the fact ripple is connected with banks, then we have smart contracts with dividend shares and so on, i believe 2017. will look like nothing compared to what I expect to see in next few years.

don't expect it, and let the year 2017 go by with the memories that the Ethereum price was once $ 9 and Bitcoin $ 1000...

I have the same views regarding on the profits been given on those previous year on crypto which we can really able to say those things because most coins on top are already being pumped out which we can assume that multiplying the same on previous year will be nearly impossible but yet this kind of question wont really get precise answer because no man can able to predict on whats ahead.

It is expected that this year will be as dramatic in the price plan as the previous 2017. The fact that this month was stagnant for the crypto currency, it has been so for several years. In bitcoin, there are already positive trends: the time of his transactions decreases, commission fees become cheaper, bitcoin again began to try to increase in price and approached again to 12,000 dollars. Therefore, we are waiting for interesting events in the crypto currency and this year.

Just look for a promising altcoin.

No one knows what will happen. Best to invest in some good coins and hope the returns are worthwhile by the end of the year.

I am sure we will be up again.

Overall 2017 was indeed a breakout year. IMO, 2018 will see yet more investments into crypto, from regular folks as well as institutions and experienced investors. Regulations will offset some of that growth though. I think we will still see many coins making x10+ growth.

2017 was the year when cryptocurrencies announced to the world, "We're here!" 2018 is going to be the year when cryptocurrencies declare, "We're here to stay!".

2018 is going to be the year of cryptocurrencies.

i think people are going to make more profits than 2017. you need only to find the hidden gems

it is early to say that the gains would not happen again. cryptocurrencies is just starting and still have a long way to go to reach its peak. just be positive and don't think useless thought. cryptocurrencies is unpredictable so anything will happen in anytime.

WHo knows really. Time will tell.

2017 was a phenomenal year for crypto in general. ANd 2016 wasn't too bad either.

Nice to see consistent, year-over-year growth.

Big money will notice too.

The party is not over yet. We need patience and faith. 2018 will be a great year, some cryptos like NEO or OMG will rise high soon.

If you watch how coins change, you will notice that there are coins who are getting like 50% or even higher pumps. I mean it was obvious that 20k mark was pure pump with btc and when btc is going up alts are as well. People started to dump their coins and we are here now. However I do think that huge opportunity still exists because in December many new people came and started to do their research about bitcoin. I am seeing many new people getting into place and I feel we will.

Just if you are looking to become millionaire from small investment well you will have to be either patient or act aggressively with trading, I mean it is easier now to look back and say "what if I bought in 2010" but the thing is it takes courage to hold long enough without thinking to sell.

maybe it's just matter of time, we don't know what are the future events we can just hold our coins and watch the market cap growth  ::)

Don't think there will be the phenomenon  of so many coins going so high in such a short period of time ever again but there are still going to be good profits to be made, especially compared to many other modes of investing, and there is always the hope of buying into an altcoin and hitting the jackpot.

Yes it still can happened but this time the situation has changed, there are tons of alt coin that appeared and split the investors investment, the government now paying attention to crypto and want to regulated crypto, that makes crypto difficult to run wild again, but once it's regulated and big companies want to accept the crypto for payment then the price will soar high again, so we need to wait and see what will happened next

Ofcourse it will, trust cryptocurrency bro we are just reaching a new heights in 2018. Many things still might happen but im positive that we can gain also this year as much we gain last year because crypto is going famous lately so there are many new potential investors and potential token in the making which may affect the prices in the market.

I don't think all coins will surge up like they did last year but what you will see, like with Bitconnect is the scams disappear or tank which will give other coins (or existing ones) more room to grow.

This is the year of the ponzi scheme and fraud token deaths.

Keep an eye out for Tether!

There is very less chance that the opportunity which we got in 2017 will come again. 2017 was a very good year for crypto trader and according to me this may never gonna happen in future. If you had got some valuable coins in the beginning of 2017 then you should be millionaire now. But may if we get chance to see huge rises in the 2018 too.

It can happen again. Let's not loosen our hopes. We all know that the price is always pump and dump. All we need to do is just wait for the right time again to pump and be patience.

Nobody really knows if we will see the same type of gains like last year, but I am hopeful. I think there is a lot of potential in the projects and still a significant amount of money in the market, but let's not forget there is probably an equal chance that you could lose it all as well. However, with that being said...here's to 2018 and the growth of cryptocurrency!

Look at the bigger picture, that's still small. We are still early and even HODLing for long term will probably do good. Always try to look beyond one frame.

I believe that 2018 will be bigger than 2017 as there are more and more exposure on crypto.

I think 2018 will be amazing. Crypto is still such a tiny tiny portion of caputal markets. Also look at all the publicity crypto is getting, new people and new money coming in, forcing exchanges to close to new business, more quality projects than ever, more adoption and mass understanding. I’m super bullish on 2018-2019

Different speculations from blockchain experts arise in many communities about whats going to happen on 2018. But no one can ever predict what is bound to happen, regardless the fact that the market is down from the beginning there is still a possibility of an upcoming boom in the market in the middle of the year. So lets buckle up and get ready to see all of these.

You will not see it again in crypto, it's pretty safe to say already

However expect x3-x5 for eth and x5-x6 for btc this year in my opinion at least
Theres plenty of room to grow

Yes you are correct. We cant expect the 21 trillion market cap will happen this year. maybe a x2 or x3 is more achievable for 2018. However, sooner or later we will reach that 21 trillion market cap. we just dont know when.

Nope that’s a wrong assessment in concluding that 2017 gains is a once a lifetime and won’t happen again.. This year might go even higher than that but it just the first month of a 12th month/year and that the first quarter even not yet finished.. A major news or event can change everything in a blink of an eye,, so don’t ever close door for possibility and most important is don’t sell just hold..

I agree with this positive thinking.
All the movement of cryptocurrency is unpredictable so why not the price of 2017 will be repeated now in 2018.
2018 is long time since now is the beginning. Same with 2017, who predict that the cryptocurrency price and marketcap increase rapidly just at the end of the year.

It can be possible! different eras of cryptocurrency is waving its stability in the entire internet land. If it grow over 2017 its possible to grow again in 2018! or the next comming years!

Wow, i haven't join cryptocurrency space yet when the price like that,
even my friend invested BTC when the price is $10k,
with a small investment it really changed his life to become a millionaire too.
That's very unfortunate that i don't invest in BTC too back then.
But i'm still believe that i can do that too this year if i work hard.

I think what will happen in the previous year will happen again in this year. I think it is early year. So we must patient to wait what we hope will be happen :)

Cryptocurrency ecosystem in 2018 is totally different than previous years.
One can compare 2017 vs. 2016; but cannot compare 2018 to 2017/2016/2015...
Why?
1) Big investors arrived.
2) Future buy/sell options come in effect.
3) Governments are digging into cryptoworld & talk about regulation.
4) Big price drops broke the trust among new investors.

Let me tell again, January drop cannot be compared to any other. People say every year price drops in January. Take a look to graphs. The price drop were never this long and sharp. There is definitely something going on, but so far I couldn't figure out.

I think it'll but we need to wait until the Q1 2018 over cause I just checked the price chart of Bitcoin and at Q1 of every year, Bitcoin always dump very low then it often slowly increases back and Q4 is the best time for Bitcoin and all other cryptocurrency. The problem is we need to be patient and keep holding tide everything we have at the moment :)

2017 was not  a one-time event. Cryptos will rise and rise big starting soon. Millions of new
investors are still pouring into various exchanges so that is very bullish for next rise.

The best way to analyze market trends & have a better idea if 2017 gain will repeat, is to check ICO reviews & ratings before investing.

www.cryptorated.com

Is a good start. It shows popular ICOs, market trends, coin analysis.

yes those days golden era. because all investors moving that era. those days actually all  are buying and not selling also. so always booming we can see. now the thing is, if exchanges are closes or restrictions put all panic and sell. we can see that type of bright middle of the year

I think 2017 historical pump in bitcoin value can happen again anytime since its value remain unpredictable and keeps fluctuating. We are just entering 2018 so it's too early to conclude that bitcoin will no longer appreciate and will remain in its current market price. We just need to be more patient and keep trusting bitcoin, it happens before and those who are not good in waiting already regret it so we should not panic.

Eventually the actual utility of some of the technologies will catch up to a point where usage and value generated approaches the speculative value of the token, resulting in stabler longer term cryptocurrencies, or so we hope! I think we will start to see that trend slowly emerge late in 2018, but anything is possible!

I've made almost $2 million profit through invest a lot of my money at january last year. We will never see such a great thing again because the crypto will become mainstream investment place in the future.
As far as i can predict about the future of crypto will be shining in the future.

Remember the price of bitcoin was around $900, this time the price is around $12k and maybe next year we will see the price of bitcoin $20k or even more.
I read so many companies are interested to issued their own token or try to make tokenization for their assets which become a good thing for all of crypto holders.

That thing happen in 2017 could be a phenomenon and it will take another 4 years to happen it is based on the cycle of bitcoin andother alt coins for more than 9 years in existence but we are still hopeful that it could happen as early as 2 years to come so that we can be a millionaire again.

I don't think it will be as crazy because that was at the most hype crypto can ever be and now people are moving on to new things.

i will be watching this post again in january 2019. then we will see how the whole thing has evolved. I'm looking forward to the february. i think then the courses will start to rise like last year

It can happen again, in the crypto world it is not impossible. The first month wasn't good but we can see the good increase in coming months.

If you invest now, then you will become a millionaire a few years later. I think that now is a very favorable moment for investing.

2017 was the year everyone started to take notice of cryptocurrency. I don't think that 2018 will see the same massive growth of 2017 but it will still increase and make a statement that cryptocurrency is here to stay.
In saying that I'm always constantly surprised by different things that happen in the market so you never know.
It should be a interesting year ahead.

2017 would be an unforgettable year in the history of cryptocurrency especially for bitcoin. Nobody saw the rapid capmarket rising to such height. 2018 will definition bring it's profits but I doubt if it will be as profitable as. 2017.

I think the capitalization of the crypto market has reached saturation point = $500-750b and it will be difficult for it to cross the $ 1000b. The investment capital is limited, and their trust in crypto is limited too. There is an infinite thing, perhaps greed!

It is not possible to have an 34x increase but it may keep and increase 2x or 3 in this year. The year was 2017 and now 2018 will be a little bit hard for coins

All of them had big step in 2017, but not Bitconnect. The King of Lending died.
It shows that if you invested in 2017 then the high possibility is you will be profitable!
Please who can tell me where I can buy a time-machine to return to 2017...

I disagree. In my reality I think crypto is just starting and we will see major gains this year. Lot of big names in the industry are getting attracted to crypto and it will only make it more productive for the humanity as a whole. I imagine seeing everyone moving towards crypto from stock in few years from now.

Thats a good question. 2017 Was a really successful year for all cryptocurrencies. Every cryptocritic is silenced. I really hope 2018 will be a more successfull year for the cryptocurrencies. And i thin it will be. I think this year it will be the best cryptoyear ever, but after 2018 we wouldnt see a such grow anymore in this market. Because this year many gouverments and countrys will start to regulates cryptocurrencies and make stronger laws, which will make a lot of fud to the investors and many of them will be scared and run away.

Market soon will go up again to the new highs. Many people predict that market will start grow in spring. But who knows.

I think we have at least another two to three years of chance to make considerable gains in some of the more established coins but by 2020, you will probably have to pick and choose some of the new high tech companies evolving and also new ICOS to make the big multiplers. Even now, you should be looking for those hidden gems to make the kind of gains others made in the big league coins. I missed out on those so am looking at other upcoming coins to try to hedge my bets. I still believe we have a chance to make good gains in 2018.

Markets need time to accumulate before continuing to grow steadily.

Are you serious? You really think that the governments can regulate the crypto market and bitcoin? Think buddy. If bitcoin could indeed be regulated, why didn't it happen yet? It has been close to a decade since bitcoin launched and many governments tried to regulate it and failed in the end since there is no possible way to accomplish this without cutting off internet access everywhere around the world which is obviously not possible.

Coming to the question by op, no one can tell whether 2018 will be better or worse than 2017, but my gut feeling tells me that 2018 will be better than 2017 due to reasons like the integration of the lightning network etc.

I certainly do not think so, opportunities will grow, more and more money will win, it will not last forever, but we will have built the future here, those who will win here will be those who are more courageous

No, they will not. 2017 was the greatest year from crypto ever and will probably be remembered as the greatest year for any market even 100 years from now. The fact that it even happened still amazes me. There is by far too much money in crypto now, and people are getting in with expectations. Not many people who invested last January had expectations, meaning they wouldn't cash out their investments after a few weeks if it remained stagnant. A 500 billion market simply cant grow so much in a year.

I think crypto has potential to increase in the future, but i don't think it will ever do more than 3x in a yr, let alone the 30x it did in 2017

Everything rose in 2017 90% of it is complete garbage. Once people start to realise that a lot of what they bought is fresh air and dreams the good money will start to flow to the quality projects ie: the ones with an actual working product with genuine real world usage. There are still plenty of opportunities for 2018, you just need to be selective.

It’s more likely a survival of the fetish environment where those who are risk takers and knows how to hodl will succeed. And if those people will continuously panic sell whenever price goes down, it will just make the market  fall a bit and i think 2017 gains could hardly happen anymore this year.

Yeah as previously mentioned I don't think we will see the same gains that we saw in 2017 happen again 2018. The whole market was insane in 2017. Its more about finding the correct coins to invest your money and I am sure you will see some good gains.

Of course without doubt there will be gains this year too, due to high demand and new user's and entering the crypto market which makes the prices to shoot high, so it is better to invest now on cryptos, bitcoins will helps get huge returns whereas altcoins will get good returns in the long run as there is a steady increase in the altcoin market. It is quite natural in any financial market for a hike and drop in the market and normally investors invest when there price is low and sell them when there is a hike in the market which gets them good profits.

i also hope good trend at 2017 can happen again in 2018  ;D
from year to year crypto price always increase.
and trend always recur.
just pray no bad news that can crash our market  ;D

I believe that we still have time to get rich and to increase his fortune!  I think that 2018 should show good growth! waiting for spring, and with it the growth of bitcoin and all altcoins!

Definitely yes, of course it will happen again. It's still too early to speculate
but I'm optimistic about the whole idea. Inflation and deflation are something
we are all familiar with, for this year I think the anticipation would be nerve
racking since last year's gains were quite surprising. This year is also believed to
be altcoin's year, it's heavily favored since it was seen that the other currencies
showed potential and tremendous growth as well as bitcoins.

I'm sad and sorry but no i don't think we will se the same growth. Yes it will go up. But we got the boom to early and that makes it much harder to get the same this year. Maybe over two years.

There will be another gain 2018 but i don't think anybody can fathom exact time or month which we will that huge gain this particular year but at some point this year it will happen.

It can as the steady increase in the population of the crypto world sooner or later it will be back on track and ain't nobody stopping cause we all moon and be successful.

Guys, we'll see the same picture for young and promising projects at the end of this year. Gains in 2018 could be even better due to the big money coming.

It’s pretty possible they we will see the same situation. It’s a bit early to speculate but from year to year it repeats

there are so many ico who are like that and I see a lot of things being done by someone out there to gain profits and commit criminal acts!

This.

As more and more people and money come into the space, there's no doubt that 2018 will continue to show a steady increase in altcoin price movements.  It wouldn't surprise me whatosever if that includes both the great projects and the not-so great projects, too.  Noobs to the space will still be affected by pumps / seeing green for FOMO and will acquire assets with little utility or true LT potential.  Many people will get burned on those til they figure out the need to only go long on projects with great teams, attainable project goals, engaged communities and funding that'll last / to support through development, launch and into the 1st couple of years of a finished product.  EOS has set themselves apart from the crowd with the way they've gone about their ICO; kudos to them.  They've got their financing sorted for the rest of their existence, by the looks of it.

Many of you no doubt listen often to Andreas Antonopoulous, right?  He's spoken of something I think we should all bear in mind.  Each and every year, from here on out, somewhere out there in the world, there'll be somebody who sees a problem in the way something is done in her / his community.  It could be a 15 yr old kid, for all we know.  A spark will light in their heads and they'll start to work on something that will then potentially lead to a change in the way industry / business works in our world using this technology.   And for as long as there is a developer working on that project (or ANY project for that matter), it will continue to exist... no matter what the markets value it on any given day.    

So I take this to mean, that even if we think we "missed the boat" with many possible gains in 2017 with all of these projects, that quite likely every year for the rest of our lives, something new might come out that'll give us a chance to "get in early" and lead us to where we've always dreamed of being.  Keep your eyes and ears to the ground.   Read and listen more than we speak and we'll find those diamonds in the rough.

Here's to a great future for us all involved in this space.   Just don't ever forget to help those in need when we're each able.   Become a mentor to others once you've figured it all out and life will be that much sweeter.    :D

Yes, this year we might chance to see the profit outcome like in 2017. If anyone had holded some good coins in 2017 then now he will be a millionaire.  It is very hard to predict the nature of market but it seems that those situations might again rise and we will get opportunity.

And the way 2018 is going... Well things are looking pretty bad so far. ;D

But with that being said I still think it's gonna be a decent year for most cryptos, gonna see some raise.

I think just like you. I believe that crypto will continue to increase, although today many major institutions and countries want to try to manage crypto. I think it's just their fantasy to make a profit. And I'm sure crypto will be higher for the price, especially for bitcoin. The more people who want bitcoin the higher the value. And lastly that makes me sure because there has been some news that bitcoin prices can be higher than the year 2017 ago.

Thank you, man, for reminding us these times. I am sure those guys who managed to buy alts for these rates and were rather patient to hold them for the whole year are now celebrating their victory. I do not think that crypto will fall. Believe in alts’ growth.

sure they will. But we will have to wait for the major bitcoin bull run. If you have in perspective a bull run from 8000 usd to 40.000 usd, the total marketcap will rise over ATH and gains will be great for almost all altcoins. Problem is i see winter coming and long bear market.

I'm sad that I missed that opportunity. But I still hope that 2018 will be a better year for the cryptocurrency. A lot of things could happen but I think it would still be the same thing which is the prices will go up, new investments will happen and a new batch of millionaires will come.

This is a good post. I did some checking and for it to reach $21 Trillion, it would be in the ball park of the US stock market ($30T), bond market ($40T), and real estate market ($25T) ...

Crypto is a new and hot asset class, for sure, but I can't see it being on par with those behemoths for a long while.  

no one knows what it will be like in the world of cryptocurrency, and opportunities like in 2017 yesterday also no one suspects it, and in 2018 this incident could have happened but also can be otherwise or coin-coin that there will be worse

I think the downturn we are currently seeing is a good thing. And just because things are going down doesn't mean that the cryptos will die. The .com bubble did the same thing. I think this downturn will be a healthy thing for the future.

We are almost in the final stages of this crypto correction. It should be all behind us in next month or two
and 2018 should be even better than 2017.

Your list can be repeated in 2018. Not in January, of course. But it will already be altcoins not from the top 10, but from the top 100. Perhaps some new coins that will grow capitalization at a rapid pace. So make bets. But whether they will be winning - time will tell.

We are just only in a first month of the 2018 so dont be so excited for what may happen we may ever see and i also believe that 2018 is much better than 2017 be patient on waiting for the best time of it.

you guys aren't optimistic about coins...
adoptions from big players like GAFA will come one day, by this time prices will increase

 oh well, you gain some, you lose some, wouldn't be fun anyways if all we had are great profits and no challenges. at least we all made the decisions that we thought that time were great decisions. at least we should be man enough to accept the outcomes of our decisions good or bad. and even if we lost a lot of capital, it doesn't mean we should give up just because we lost once. instead, we should strive hard to learn more so we can be able to make better decisions for this year and get back what we lost, or take that profit that we almost had. although like you, i too believe that the tempo of the price hypes of this year won't be like the last year, i still believe that we will still get some decent profits if we only make the right decisions this time around. which is why im trying to gain as much knowledge as possible to make the most out of the crypto world.

Well, if you focus exclusively on bitcoin as your main source of income, I doubt that it can really repeat its remarkable performance, because at this point the market has already assumed the true potential of bitcoin and although it continues to grow consistently, it will do so at a less accelerated pace. However, the market still has a lot of room to grow and will continue to generate great wealth for a long time.

The market of crypto currency is only being formed. Many experts say this. The prospects are very large. For example, more and more people come to the world of crypto-currency from the stock exchange. People like huge volatility and rapidly growing income. Therefore, I think that 2018 will bring us even more prospects ;)

I think in  2018 will be biggest profit in crypto history I am sure because goverments ll not ban Cryptocurrency and all people ll start to invest here.

It can happen again. The previous years before 2017 were somehow amazing and we never thought 2017 could be better but it happened. 2018 can be better than 2017. Lets hope for the better. Cryptocurrency will surely surfaced again.

I am not that negative with my view, crypto is still young, we are just at the start of something revolutionary. How long are shares of companies
around ? There where good and bad years as well, its just about finding the right coins to invest in.

Like it was also the same in 2017. 2018 might be not like 2017, it will be different, how different we will know in the end, like it always is if you
invest in something.

I see a bright future ahead for crypto and I think this is just the beginning.

1.there are too many cryptos born in 2017
so natural selection must kill the non sense crypto ... and  a contraction is a "natural" evolutive process

2.some good projects will generate new cryptos (by fork or by intermediate service)
that will be more usable (as simple as paypal or a credit card), trusted and reliable

3. as in the past "ecommerce war" (remember ebay,amazon,google...) only few strong competitors will survive
and they will take all the market

 at that point investors that have in the stack the good currency will win the stackes

No one can categorically says that and put a stamp on it. Even if there is aanything  like the Crypto's god or goddess, he/she cannot determines that. This is because the exchange market is a resultant effects of the activities of people in it. For instance when prices of coins began to swell like yeast back in 2017, people never expected such any time soon. Lo and behold fellas, it came on us just like how Atomic Bombs were inflicted on Hiroshima and Nagasaki back then in 1944. This that happened last year can actually repeat itself in even a much greater dimension in 2018. We just gat wait and follow the trend of things on market, i believe strongly we shall have good testimonies to give come December 2018.

As a optimistic person for me yes it will happen again. We are only in a first month we still have 11 months so what's bothering us. All we can do is keep on investing in crypto world so that it will rise again the value of btc or any altcoin as simply as that but I'm not saying that you will invest your all money here you can invest at least 1/4 of your money just to move the value of the btc or altcoin.

In a year we again will see that many coins have grown very strongly. but which exactly growth will be very difficult to determine.
the number of coins has become much more than a year ago

Everyone who's saying that 2018 will give better gains than 2017 is lying.
In January 2017 you could've put a blindfold on yourself, randomly picked a coin to invest $10.000 in and there was 95% chance you'd be close to a millionaire - at least.
This will definitely not going to happen in 2018. Bitcoin won't gain 10-20x like in 2017. Not a chance.

2018 is the year we're going to break 1 trillion.
But, it's also the year the bubble will pop. And I'm not talking about Bitcoin bubble, I'm talking about the shitcoin bubble. There's too much shit out there that will burst and that money put into the promising projects.
2018 will also be the year when governments start cracking down hard on crypto. This will also be the year of privacy coins.
2019 will be the year of tech coins and 2020-22 is the year a lot of tech altcoins will be implemented and accepted in the real world and we will break 10 trillion market cap.

Sure already only %3 of all people on the earth invested in Crypto, we have a long way to go, next big Wave would be in 2021you better get ready for this.

For those you was wondering why I said 2021, 2021 is the year that we have BTC Blockhalving.

I also think NEO can x20 in this year. Also I believe in South Korea projects AION, ICON and Wanchain.

2017 gains happens once in a while, it can't happen every time. It was abnormal growth. As per my knowledge this much growth will never happen again. But I can expect constant growth from now onwards.

Chances will come and go outside crypto world and inside crypto. What had happened on 2017 is a big change to a big price of btc and altcoins. Probably 2017 can be happen again this 2018 and more years to come while having our staying moment here. No doubt that the price of btc and eth and others will rise again as what the markets life in trading and pricing.

Nebell's comments are based much closer to reality than most others in this thread, whether you're optimistic or not about the "potential" of crypto.   The projects that provide absolutely no value in the real world will soon be found out, their tokens will become relatively worthless and their devs will see the writing on the wall.   Though I will mention one thing... There are projects that have been around since 2011-12 that appear to have little to no real world value / utility, yet the project developers still persist.   Keep in mind that as long as someone, that means even only 1 person, continues to put in the effort to develop / maintain their project, it will live on.   Token / asset pricing in the global markets won't necessarily kill it.   If there is even a small community that supports that developer and urges them to keep on doing what they're doing, the general consensus of the global trading exchanges won't stop them (in fact, it might add fuel to their fire to develop their project into something more useful, somehow, someway).

No doubt, Nebell will also freely admit that just because BTC doesn't pull a 10X+ this year, that isn't to say that there won't be some other projects that do.   He's simply saying that last year, you could have thrown a dart at the wall and you would have found a 10Xer.   This year, as many millions of new people come into the space to get their feet wet, it will be those that can separate / recognize the projects with true utility that will come out on top in the end.  Get to know the key factors in determining what gives a token utility. 

Hint: You'll quickly see how as more and more users come onto a particular platform, the demand for the token that helps the platform run smoothly will increase.  What happens when there's an increase in demand for something someone needs to use?

So perhaps, the moral of the story this year is to keep your expectations in check from here on out though also to keep your eyes / ears peeled for platform releases that carry with them token utility.   

We can always see that one. History repeats itself. All I can say is we are just a developing community, roughly there are only about 5% of the population knows about cryptocurrency, how much more?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I believe it's likely closer to 40+% that knows about Bitcoin (and thus, crypto).  However, it's likely closer to 3-5% that actually have some sort of stake / position in a crypto asset(s).  Clif High's noted many times that at some point towards end of Feb through April, we'll be hitting the start of the ol' tipping point, which may lead to increase that total percentage rather quickly throughout 2018 to 10%+.   Who knows though, eh?  Stay seated in the roller coaster and we'll soon see who's right, though!  Just don't forget to hold on.  It's gonna be a helluva ride!

exactly we may just be wait for what may real happen about it when it was been taking for, we can say that it may happen again for on how they may able to gain for but sometime this is may happen more than we are expecting for.

It totally depends on what altcoin company can bring to practical applications. If they are just whitepaper , all crypto will be a dead hole

I think 2018 is still very likely.
Because this year, more and more cryptocurrency market investors started to enter the encryption cryptocurrency market, and various countries gradually recognized the cryptocurrency and formulate rules and regulations, and that means there could still be a bull in the cryptocurrency markets.

Well, first of all, there is no way regular folks like us would have invested $10,000 in Ethereum.

I have been in crypto since 2013. Having gone through lots of panic sells, exchange collapses and just plain scams, we were hardened. There is not way we would have dropped that much cash unless we were financially sound, and a little crazy.

That said, I have been investing in crypto since 2013. And have a target in mind for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and others for my early retirement.

2018 will be a tough year for Bitcoin and crypto. We won't see the returns made in shotgun approach investment. So it is time for some dumpster diving to find some hidden gems.

Yes there is chance don’t go with crowd do your own research there is lots of good potential coins out there still having low value better to find small capital coins instead of going with already established .again ethereum and neo would be my bet for this year apart from small value coin. There is strong reading behind trusting neo and ethereum.

its called scaremongering, everyday on the news we read how the "bubble will burst" just stick with it and hope for the best.

Yes, they will and soon.
In 2018 itself, there are chances that till mid of 2018, prices will get a hike.
At that time, you can have your gains

Exactly, thanks for completing my post ;)

I think we will never quite have that kind of 10x in everything increase. But I am %100 sure some coins will quickly grow in price maybe more than 100x. Cause ideas never die and I am sure there will always be better projects. By the way anon coins will be lot more useful, I agree.
I only want to add that when cap grows exchange coins (that paying dividends) will worth much more too.

Fairly certain that there will be at least 30 cryptocurrencies that will go 34X or more, but yea, not the whole market. Would be happy to see 3X in combined market cap.

I think we didnt see anything yet.
The market cap is 500 billions only.
Its have to hit 3-4 trillions , even if it stays tech gadget and wont go to mass adoption.
Demand is too high. ICO are crazy this year.
Jabuary is never good month in trading. Everybody meditating about last year , deciding about bonuses, firing people, hiring people.
I think it will pick up pace in mid february.
Besides, 2018 will be year of the DEX. And that will deliver massive influx in activity.
So buy in when it low. You will regret missing opportunity in December.

At the start of 2017, who would have really got the definite prediction that bitcoin and other alts will go beyond the majority expected? The same goes for this year. This may or may not happened. This may also exceed our expectations as the people become more familiar with cryptocurrencies.

This crypto world is almost 100 percent like the old wild wild west. I mean, in here, everything's possible. One man can make millions in less than a year. One coin will suddenly grow more than a thousand percent in a quarter. One coin could also be the cause of one's wealth to simply vanish into thin air. So if what you are saying is something that was very amazing and it happened, there is no reason why it will not happen again. I believe there are more surprises in the crypto world to come.

For me, 2018 will be even better than 2017. A lot of people now believe in Crypto and blockchain and because of that with the help of some good news (cause at the moment there are only bad  :( ), crypto will rock the sky. Look the current situation. Even though all those negative news, hacks, law suits etc., Crypto is still above what was in November 2017...I think that, by the end of the year Crypto market will hit 1 trillion.

Unpredictable is the key why people always said " nobody know where the price will go ".
I agree too early to talk about price will repeat last year price or not since now just in january as the first month of the year.

Yeah as previously mentioned I don't think we will see the same gains that we saw in 2017 happen again 2018. The whole market was insane in 2017. Its more about finding the correct coins to invest your money and I am sure you will see some good gains.

Yes, you may be right. This increase in the value of all coins was incredible.
Still, I think we can see it again, but not on such a global scale, but with just a few coins this year.

No, stop living in the dreams.

In 2016 BTC was 600 and jumped up to 12000. This is the unique phenomenon which was based on the several factors. The hype-train, plus the amount of the newcomers made this possible. Now there are just not enough dudes in the world who can be considered as newcomers to the crypto investment, thereby I can't see this will happen again.

Don't get me wrong I would love to be ve part of this phenomenon, but let's be fair with ourselves, that's highly unlikely.

It could be happen like last year but some altcoins, I think ethereum will pump up this year like bitcoin last year, who knows you can earn x3 profit in ethereum this 2018.

Those happen in year 2017 of gaining more profits would maybe happen again this year,if all problems occurs now would be solved,and all investor that panic selling there investment will turn back there old ways of doing an investment trading,if more investor to come the cryptocurrency will grow it investment trading and more bitcoiner will be benefited.we already know that digital currency is unpredictable  sometimes its dump and maybe in a split of a minute it will pump its value,but i still believe that bitcoin can achieve back its price value to the highest point,and those  happen in past year will  be more than happen in this year.

Do not look at what it has done in 2017, look at what it has changed. I believe 2018 will have many changes and will be a more stable and prosperous year.

the volatility of the cryptocurrency not just to predict. 2018 may be as successful as 2017 for the cryptocurrency, could be worse, could be better. the main thing is to think well before to invest and to learn in something)

according to me i would not like to categorize this gain as once in a life time but that doesnt mean this miracle is going to happen each year.
for most of the top 100 coins to increase themselves exponentially to such extent is not that easy,but bigger the value more the obstacle.
so it would be tougher to have the same growth again but that doesnt mean it would stop growing.
all coins are stabilising themselves which is also very important.

Hahaha.  :P 

I certainly think you said it well enough for me to understand where you think we're headed.  Me being someone who lives, eats and breathes this stuff on a daily basis.  I also thought that those new to our rollercoaster ride might get something from an expanded discussion on the topic of near future crypto possibilities by two budding futurists..  That being said, judging by the bulk of the replies in threads on BTCtalk... it seems most people on this forum don't actually read much of anything that anyone has written except perhaps the OP!     

Aaaaaaaaand life goes on...

I think we can see much more cash flow into cryptocurrency market in 2018 with the mass adoption of blockchain tech world wide, at the same time I believe that projects without tech but only hype will die out.

For my own humble opinion the alts will grow better than last year's gain,why?because this year bitcoin would have a lot of sideways as we all know thats the only time that alts can grow when bitcoin'a price goes sideways.Most people will realize this in the future when btc gone wild either its going up or down the altcoin market always react to it by bleeding continously.

The guy who convinced me to jump on this train was one of those regular folk who put $10K into Ethereum.   That being said, he hadn't been dabbling in BTC and others previous to his starting with ETH (so he wasn't afraid).   His cousin convinced him to invest, they both went it with the same amount together.  ETH started going up.  Then they started mining it... 12 000 ETH later (each)...  Here he is.   He's still just a regular guy, too.   His millions haven't changed him, either.   Still just one of the boys.   "Don't let this money change ya," he's said more than once.  Tis the only way.

By the way, I don't disagree that those big returns will only come from a deep dive from here on out...

t is expected that this year will be as dramatic in the price plan as the previous 2017. The fact that this month was stagnant for the crypto currency, it has been so for several years. In bitcoin, there are already positive trends: the time of his transactions decreases, commission fees become cheaper, bitcoin again began to try to increase in price and approached again to 12,000 dollars. Therefore, we are waiting for interesting events in the crypto currency and this year.

I think that 2018 become the year of altcoins and ICOs. We will see 2 or 3 unkown coins to the top 10, and the giants like btc was fall down, because it has no practical use in real world, only it is the oldest cryptocurrency and that is all.

Let's hope and believe that 2018 will be more successful than 2017. The volume of investments is increasing, there are more and more projects. And, most likely, on the basis of this, the crypto currency will only develop, become more popular and will gain more and more turnover.

Umm.. Monsieur Snafu, is it somewhat possible that you may not be aware just how many people live on our pale, blue dot? 

Take a look at this (https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7nk9zd/worldwide_adoption_of_cryptocurrency/). That author's best guess is that about 0.36% of the world population has invested in crypto.  I think there are many people who do not have BTC wallets but are only in altcoins specifically.   I've guessed that there are currently possibly up to 3% of the world that have currently got some sort of stake / position in crypto assets (my crypto friends disagree with me however).   

Soooo, I'm quite curious on what you think.  Knowing this info, do you think adding 50 million more crypto users / holders in the next 12-18 months would have a positive effect on price movements for crypto assets?   How about adding 500 million more crypto users in the next 4-5 yrs?  How about 2-3 billion in the next decade?   

Let's be fair with ourselves, I'm not even certain the ballgame has even started yet.

If you dont expect big altcoin grow in 2017 repeat again in 2018? Then what you expect?
I was thinking mybe you missunderstand with the op, because the op ask" will all gain of altcoin repeat again? ".

Growth is much higher than the growth in 2017.Mcfee said that $1m will reach price of Bitcoin . Bitcoin definitely will reach $30000 this year.

Next years we can receive much more gains, because crypto  world is just in beginning, the more people will know about it and invest in it , the more money we will earn .

Our opportunity for now in coming 2018 are our altcoins were going back to rise again on a high value because as of now when i'm looking at my blockfolio some of my altcoins are color red and also the bitcoins are going down we hope in this year all altcoins and bitcoins will rise again.

I don't think so. i think that its just  a glimpse of whats awaiting in the near future for the cryptocurrencies. Actually this stop was put to bitcoin and other currencies as a lot of eyebrow started to raise and with that a few govt has started to actually work against it. but soon once this battle is settle, and once the world accepts the reality of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies then it'll wipe out fiat.

right now, the cryptocurrencies are going through the challenges and opposition.. but that won't last long, soon cryptos will come out victorious

I think it will be quiet at the start of the year but there are alot of new tokens launching and mainnet releases coming up. Once these coins start being used in real-life business, then the value will increase. It won't happen to all cryptos but there are still profits to be made in some. The challenge will be believing in your coins and HODLing them through these crazy current times.

Honestly, no one really know about what to happen but i thing is for sure. All cryptocurrencies has its own time to shine in each year. So most probably in coming month or so after recovering with some issues, cryptocurrencies prices will pump again.

In my opinion,  I think 2017 gain are indicative of what to expect in very nearest future.  Cryptocurrency will be so integrated into Internetof things and value of bitcoin will be in hundreds of thousands if  not millions in dollars.

To me one thing was clear is that more people and governments are accepting crypto as a concept; true there isn't much regulations going on but I think 2018 would be a better year.

I think there is growth, waiting for us but in which coins - you never know, as it was with eth, or other coin. So try to guess who will win in this race, and invest.

There is no reason why 2018 shouldn't be as successful as 2017. I think 2018 will be even better.
The correction that is happening this whole month was happening every year before as well. Just check the charts.

What makes you think that way? 2017 was a signal that cryptocirrencies  are becoming increasingly popular in its use and adoption. People desire to hold the Cryptos. 2018 will be better, if not then maybe 2019 or 2020. But I'm sure that we've just seen a tip of the iceberg!

The market is not predictable thing,today you're on a roll,tomorrow....
And at the moment it is felt that,the technology of some coins can applied in the future,but how this is displayed on their value is not known.

Maybe, maybe not, who knows. But a price decrease doesn't automatically mean there isn't any new money coming in.

If I really have confidence that in this year the price of altcoin which still has low selling value also likely to experience a significant increase as in 2017.With the advancement of technology that is now very fast will surely more people are starting to into the world of cryptocurrency primarily to make investments both period long and short and making altcoin is likely to become more popular in many countries With an exchange rate that will soar.

I also felt about that the same when we joined 2018 and we saw that bitcoin fall but hey...we alrdy made alot and gained alot but we still can gain.it might not be the same but theres still opportunitys like ICOS.

i think (2017) is marked as the year of skyrockets of all top 10 coins, and the most huge changes is in bitcoin at that time and the other one is in ethereum, and now after that year (2017). all coins are marked in red (dropped) but not too much in eth. im still hoping that year (2017) is not once in a blue moon phenomenon but can be happen again this year (2018).

I genuinely believe 2018 is going to be the best year on record. Simply because the exposure to the market is growing. Everybody knows about Bitcoin now and with that people are learning about alts.

certainly happens again and this is in my opinion for the future more quickly and strictly in all the activities!

I think we are in very early stage of cryptos. It surely will happen again in 2018 or it will raise more and more. Do not worry.

Any thing is possible in cryptocurrency and it could happen again. In fact every year there are many coins that jumps like what happen in top altcoins last year. You just don't notice it because you are just focusing on top altcoins.

I think you all are wrong. 2017 was a good year for cryptocurrencies, but 2018 will be even better. This year a lot of applications with cryptocurrencies goes live and just today a new app was released wich I believe in strongly. IMO the year 2018 is the year where cryptocurrency starts to go mainstream. 2017 was all about speculation, but this years it's actually releasing a lot of products for the average joe.

I think 2018 will be a much better year than 2017, and I think the market starts moving upwards again in mid-February.

I don't really know if it'll be the same with past few years or not. For now, trading volume of almost cryptocurrency is decreasing because of traders and investors in US are having big trouble with their gorvenment. Beside the biggest holiday in a year of China and few Asia countries is coming so investors and traders in these countries are trying to keep their money safe as much as possible before the holiday. Hope that everything will be find in next few weeks when everything was over :)

I agree, first it was creation of cryptocurrencies, and in 2018. comes implementation. I also think there will be a lot of turbulence this year we may see some cryptocurrencies rise and some fall. There is a lot of competition now and lot of changes can happen.

Yes, whales has entered the market, but when the people starts using it, then the whales won't make such an impact anymore. Remember that the phase cryptocurrency currently is in is compared to Internet in 1994. Still a lot of growth ahead. Even institutional investment funds will start investing in cryptocurrencies this year. Big money will still be flowing into cryptocurrencies.

Your calculation is based on the percentage will be the same for these big name crypto, which is probably not the case.
I think BTC/ETH percentage cap will continues to drop, so the total cap for other altcoins will see much bigger growth.
If crypto survives and continues to grow, there will be a lot crypto seeing 10x/100x growth, but finding out which ones are among those is a difficult task.

Gotta disagree with you on that one.

The 618B number you mentioned is the end of 2017 marketcap and the progress from 17B to that marketcap was mostly due to BTC and ETH price rise, not the other, smaller coins.

Look at April 2017 total marketcap chart. That was an excellent time for many cryptocurrencies but since daddy BTC and prince ETH had not started their movement the total marketcap was not much higher than January.

There's still great opportunities in detecting remarkable projects at the beginning of their road and hodling until the right moment, and there will be forever, regardless of the total marketcap.

this is just the beginning, many a take advantage of the situation, especially for big investors are able to manipulate price movements in the market to make many people feel panicked to sell all the coins they have. every year the growth will still exist even though no one can predict accurately but many are optimis that the market price will increase again.

2017! What a year that was! Lots of people have earned their lifetime jackpot with crypto. Now the biggest question of 2018 is that, will that happen again? From the expert, we can learn that there is a very good chance that this might happen again at the end of this running year. So we should hold on what we have. Hope we will gain some serious profit.

I think 2018 is going to be a greater year for cryptocurrency because the cryptocurrency market capitalization is growing continuously, huge volume of trades are seen on cryptocurrency exchange everyday. Interests of people are increasing and thousands of newbies are joining the market. This is an unpredictable market so it possible that the rise of cryptocurrency market in 2018 may become all time high ever in cryptocurrency.

I'm sure that 2018 will be the year of altcoins. They are very promising, as for me

Like your conclusion buddy!! Anything can happen so let's hope for the best. This is crypto and anything is highly possible to happen. I remember BTC shooting from about 5k to 10k getting to the latter end of the year and then whooop!! 15k+ and many even speculated 20k. I believe BTC wilk hit 20k this year. Let's hope for the best

I think so, the current decline in value is the beginning of price increases, and if every investor can consider this situation as a good opportunity, surely everyone will feel the benefits like last year. and maybe even better.

Considering how much shit's been dumping lately, we will fall so low that 2017 gains might just be possible again  ;D

there will always be huge gains but the question here is are you well positioned to take the full advantage of these gains, most people only talk about the gains but some people lost money this same last year and that is how the space is.

To my way of thinking 2018 will be a high gainer year of the crypto as it happened in 2017. This year it will be a twice as compared to 2017 but not in a starting instead the middle of the year you will get much gain from crypto.

IMO, the gains in 2018 will be bigger than 2017. With more people getting to know and joining crypto, the future for crypto will be huge. So yes, 2017 gains will happen again in 2018 and it will be bigger.

first the market needs to recover and gain trust, then anything is possible

Probly not! We are on 2018 so expect more of it as 2017 prior have less people than now on the community. This year will be bigger. We can only see whats happening nkw.. But feb is always a ghost month for crypto. Soon we will rise

I'm not sure that this year will be such a crazy growth. Many whales have entered the crypto market. They brought huge capitals. I think that volatility will decrease every year. But at the end of this year, market capitalization will be greater than last year. The market will grow for sure. I think that we are still at the beginning of the road.

In specific coins - sure.  Across the entire crypto market without any regard to the quality of a token or the underlying business - probably not, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

It might be slower than last year, but the gains will come !

Fuck this post is a Goddamn remembrance of what i have failed last year,seeing ethereums price got deep in my balls.i could remember the moment me ang my friend arguing bout that coin.if it's profitable and when we finalized that it doesnt,after just a month got a hundred bucks price.how dare you mate putting this again in my brain.lol

we all have good news in 2018 and then whatever will happen keep the spirit and do not panic because many do not know what will happen next but I am sure all will be good and surprising do not forget the prayers so that everything runs smoothly. .

The digital money market in 2018 will be even more crazy than in 2017

Yeah, hopefully that good news will be continue throughout the year. So far we didn't experienced too much downfall of bitcoin unless those investors invest on the time of bitcoin reach $20,000. Probably, some of them are still hold but most of them sell their shares. As the start of this year so far so good which my colleagues starting to believe all about crypto currencies as most of them are from haters and now lovers in the crypto currency as well as here in the bitcoin community.

wah very very lucky if you become a millionaire and get banya coin with fantastic value at this time may know that will come I can like that become new millionaire from result of this work

i think it would never be happening again with these coins you showed us, because their prices is too high right now, maybe the new coins may pump high maybe theres a chance of gaining more this year.

2018 just started and we are still on its first quarter and so it is still early to give any conclusions. A lot of things can happen over the next few months and there is still a chance for us to have the same gains or even more as last year. The digital cryptocurrency is gaining popularity amongst the general public each day which can somehow increase its demand and soon its value and so i am keeping my hopes up and holding on to my coins.

I think so yes. I do think this is a bubble but I don't think the pop has arrived yet. I think it will be in a couple of years. I base that on the size of the Dotcom bubble when that popped and crypto is a fraction the size of that market at the moment.

The profit that was made in 2017 will never come again.
That was a huge thing.
Every coin rose a lot.

Yes I think 2017 gains will happen again. Maybe this year will be even bigger than 2017 for altcoins.  In 2017 it was mostly Bitcoin that gained a lot and some other coins also gained a lot.

This year it is possible that other altcoins gain a lot.

'Ever', I don't know but definately not anytime soon because people who invested now with profits as well as loss are eagerly waiting for a massive bullrun. If that happens then people will dump heavily which will stop the market from growing exponentially. People will also lose trust if the massive dump like this happens again.

WHAT THE HELL?   ;D If I knew Bitcoin and cryptocurrency that year maybe I buy it all HAHAHAHHA lol
f*ck that is crazy small numbers especially ETHEREUM hahahah I am a fan of it sorry but really 8 Dollars I can buy 100 ETH with that price hahahaha
but I think in the end of 2018 or maybe middle of this year it will boom again

Hope so. But some rumors are telling that bitcoin will rise again like happen before on early mid of December 2017. Based on CNN the possibility of bitcoin value this year will hit again in 20,000 USD or much higher than that before this year of 2018 ends. But in the real scenario nowadays the value of bitcoin is far to the projection price that's why its hard to believed on the rumors or news released by CNN. Or else no one knows can predict what will be happen on the bitcoin price in the future. The important now is bitcoin is still circulated in the market cap and it is rapidly increasing.

CNN has been releasing too many news regarding crypto recently, I don't know if there are whales behind them or they really have sources that forsee crypto as not that beneficial, but the fact that bitcoin still present even there are lots of rumor existing can be a best option to still hold crypto.

I sure hope that we will see 2017 gains this year.  So far this year hasn't been impressive but I still think it's a good buying period.  Buy early in the year to sell later in the year.  This has happen a few years in a row. 

It happen once. Nobody can tell if it won't happen again. For me it will. Just don't get your hopes up. Things haooens when you least expect it.

2017 is surely a remarkable year because most of the coins elevated too quick and too high. But let us not lose hope, we are not year in the middle of the year. There are still nine months left for 2018 to impress us. 2017 became remarkable because the latter half part of the year happened. It was when all the coins went hyper. It could still happen, maybe at the second half of the year again. Let us HODL and wait!

These gains will be seen again, however, they may not be seen in the same fashion. Once crypto begins to become mainstream the market will find a healthy balance between speculation and regulation. When this happens we will see massive gains in the projects that deserve them but in a healthier fashion.

Unfortunately for us I don't see any possibilities to see again those gains/increases of value. Many coins already have quite a high value, to increase so much we would need a huge amount of fresh money, and at the moment this is a very remote possibility.

There a saying goes "history repeat itself" so if we say 2017 is a remarkable happen of bitcoin so it is very possible happen again and probably much more than we are expected this year 2018 and for another years to come. So bitcoiners don't lose hope just hold on and keep up the good work bitcoin community.

Don't be a close minded person pal and think always positive because if you will not its like you saying its pointless to join crypto currencies investment anymore then better for you to quit because it will be a waste of time for you to be here. Lot of good opportunities that are happening now in favor of crypto currencies but we must keep the patience for the result to effect because when it comes for sure many will regret it because of not keeping the faith.

This increase in the value of all coins was incredible. I hope   it  will happen again in 2018 or it will raise more .
 

Your first sentence reveals the level of pessimism that you have. And you probably don't know the properties that make Bitcoin better than any other cryptocurrency out there.

You mention the insane gains that these alts could have brought to you as a reason to be pessimistic about Bitcoin. But the truth is that it shows how undervalued Bitcoin is, since it followed the same level of growth of altcoins that doesn't have any legit use case.

I think it’s better to invest on tron trx , Ada , eos, neo , nem this year it will again make you to think after 2018 . Don’t go behind already established coin tron is moving and giving profit to the holder even in this bearish trend.

Maybe we won't see a replica of 2017 again but definitely, we will see gains bigger than 2017 in years to come. 2017 was just a beginning for the cryptocurrencies and the majority of the world came to know that it exists last year. Today more and more use cases of cryptocurrencies are coming up and that's a positive sign. Just HODL, don't loose hope future is bright.

Don't jump to the conclusion, it's too early to speculate, remember we're in a just early quarter of the year and bitcoin still in a good stand, but I can't blame you to feel shaking at this moment, it's your own emotion and intuition.But for me, I still believed that bitcoin will surpass an all-time high record.
