I wonder how the market looks at the end of this year.

This is a snapshot of one year ago:
https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20170319/

Seems like some really cheap coins  :o

Good luck with all your investments..

I don't know why many are still worried about the correction that the whole crypto market went through but if they will see this historical chart from last year, they might even think that crypto's are going far from now on.

Ofc it will be look different, there not so many people at that day interested in cryptocurrency world. And ofc its cheap the demand not that high at that time xD anyway still many people believe that crypto currency is a bubble. Yeah we just do what we have to do right ? make money to pay a bill, keep investing mate !

"many people believe that crypto currency is a bubble"

Simply saying "Cryptocurrency is a bubble" is stupid. However, denying that the majority of the Cryptocurrencies is in a bubble is just as stupid.

As much as I admire Blockchain technology and its result, Cryptocurrencies, it's a fact that approximately 97% of the Cryptocurrencies currently in existence serve no real purpose, are outdated/beaten by other cryptocurrencies or will certainly be.
The price of Cryptocurrencies should be related to its use, which makes sense, ay?

Well, the current price of the majority of the cryptocurrencies isn't related to their use at all. There are multiple Cryptocurrencies faster, cheaper, more anonymous, more secure & with cooler names than "Bitcoin".
Yet, Bitcoin got the lead with a market cap of about 150 billion dollars at this time. Why? Speculation!

Speculation is what drives the current crypto-market and, sadly, this results in outdated Cryptos like Bitcoin rising up. Just as well as most of the other top-coins.
Speculation is what causes the majority of the Cryptocurrencies to be in a bubble.

Given the low level of intelligence most people seem to possess, I don't think it's a great idea to have the whole world be involved in these Cryptos. If you just notice how so many people fell for the Bitconnect scam, then how can we expect the rest of the world to be able to even comprehend the purpose of Cryptocurrencies? We can't. Until they've become so user-friendly that centralized institutions can control Cryptocurrencies of people again, it won't be used by everyone world-wide. Period.

Teleport me there to buy some Neo....... hack I would buy everything :))))

It is good to remember this changes, because now a lot of people think that everything is dead, because the market has big correction after huge run.

What a beautiful time... x2, x3, x10... Bull market, everything is in green color.  ;D Joking aside, very soon, things will be the same!

A nostalgic and incredible topic, this only corresponds to the advancement in the dissemination and growth of crypto and when we come across depressive topics about the market downfall, this topic can provide the key to tranquility. With a simpler view, we can have the following thought "Do not complain about full belly".

Damn, everything was so cheap! It was a great chance, but let's see what will be in March 2019, will we see same kind of returns :)

Really had a big difference between last year and today's crypto market. I think last year was the best of crypto currencies. It was the most prosperous time of digital currencies, and massive adaption was happen that time.

Hoping I could see the 1900% and more profit of other coins. 

I wish i could go back last year to buy more alts and bitcoin and make a milion dollars now! though we're in early stages so adoption is coming on our way. Crypto never sleep so we can buy more bitcoin and altcoins. We have an amazing future ahead!

I think it will be much bigger.. so much problems in crypto need to be solved..

I did not know about such a fun feature on the coinmarket ;D. Looking at the old snapshots it becomes clear how unpredictable the market is nowadays. It is impossible even to imagine how it will look in a year or two.

You have written good and truthful words and I fully agree with you. But do you really need this truth to you? I think you are just as madly happy to open your portfolio to see the growth of coins and to think about buying a new machine)

And if you look at the beginning of the diagram, we have gold mines in general. What was before was in other situations and coins, there were not many opportunities for earning, either. And now the current situation is also quite good, because at the time of correction, many coins fall well and there is an opportunity to buy, just to find out the bottom of the coin.

I agree and we all know that in crypto world everything is unpredictable. Lets just wait and see what will happen this year and hoping everybody will gain profit out of what is happening today.

It looks like the biggest bubble in human history  :o

This history make us believe that there will be more huge market's grows and there is no reason to panic.

I'm not sure why everyone is so bent out of shape about the crypto market.

It doesn't matter what happened last year or last December... crypto is continuously evolving. More ICOs, more crypto startups, more regulations, etc.

Nothing is following a pattern. Things are just exponentially growing. There is FUD that takes crypto down, but crypto always rises.

The end of this year should see a marked growth that pushes the marketcap past its ATH.

You should look at coinmarketcap histarical data of early 2014.  THAT is quite interesting.  You'll see coins you never heard of in the top 10.  Now what does that tell us?  Right, that crypto projects and coins aren't here to stay and that a top 10 doesn't mean a thing.  You should be aware that  there are some coins who will be worth x1000 in a few years and you should be aware that 99% won't exist anymore. Make your pick!  ;D  The golden days are over I'm afraid.  If you put $100 in every top 20 coin in 2015 you'd be a millionnaire by now.  If you put $100 in every top 20 coin right now, you'll end up flat broke in a year or so.

A year does go by really fast. Most coins on their went up on the USD scale though they are close to the same price in BC.

meh. i see the same thing but now with a remaining bubble.
1 year ago, 2 years ago, and 2 years in the future the altcoin market will remain the same and will stay as a pump and dump manipulation market where a bunch of whales become rich while newbies run around tell each other what coin is best to bag hold and lose money while doing so :D

Many relied on the situation on the market, which was a year ago. Then the market began to grow rapidly. All waited exactly in the spring of 2018. I thought that last year's situation will repeat. But as you can see, the forecasts did not meet expectations.

They have different chart a year ago even though we are on still bearish season i think we need to buy more if get's dip and everyone else in the world would notice the powerful blockchain. Cryptos dominance is here we need something big.

Good insight that really puts things into perspective. Its easy to understand how much gains people who invested a year ago now have. This could be a potential reason why we see so much dumping happening right now. People simply want to cash out. They are already winners and will surely be more than happy with their gains because come on. I would be happy even with a 100% gain but these people have more than 1000% gains. How can you stop them from dumping?

That being said, i hope that after this round of consolidation it could be our turn to do the same with the next generation of investors.

In the long run, everyone will earn money. only those who want to earn only for the hryvnia and investment.

I think the market isn't really different from what it was 1 year ago. Last year it didn't start great but towards the middle and the ending part of the year there was a great increase in price. We haven't gotten to the middle of the year yet I believe there will be a great increase this year as well.

Every year of crypto is exciting, dips and all time high's are given and the saddest part is when you aren't riding or taking those times to recover and buy. Early this year is disaster for those who invested during the high's but it is not the end for them. I encourage you to take this chance as a learning process, don't think that it will be the end of your investments. Just like what the title says, look a year ago on where crypto's are.

It really is crazy looking back on things.
It puts everything into perspective.
Also, when you look at the astronomical rise last year, I can come to two conclusions: Crypto can still grow even more and it can't sustain this growth.
So I'm thinking we will see BTC at around 40 to 50k by the end of the year, but this bubble is going to burst, just not this year.

Another thing is that it really helps to make it through the price corrections and hold steady.
It's been a full 3 going on 4 months now that the market has been sluggish at best and falling at worst.
But looking at trade histories, this just means that we are setting up for a fantastic bull run.
A lot of people are looking towards May, but I won't be surprised if it starts picking up next month in April.

I wonder, are we going to look back in 2019 at how crazy a year 2018 was?
It is definitely an exciting time to be in crypto!

I agree with other posters that the majority of the coins that exist now will likely not exist in the future. 

This is due to the market not accepting the solution or the team not executing on its plans.

If you look at Bitcoin for example, there are a number of coins created largely due to the slow transactions speeds of BTC (Litecoin/BCash, etc.). 

If BTC is available to resolve its slow speed then the reason for these coins existing goes out the window. 

2018 is the year of blockchain adoption.  2018 is the year of project execution as well as business and consumer adoption. 

This is what investors need to see to buy any coin on the market now (this is why most coins have been going down). 

Dreams and wishful thinking will not lead to wealth like it did in 2017. If meaningful execution does not happen in 2018 expect the market to continue to decline. 

Yes. the market behaves the same every year, those who noticed this a few years ago have already become rich people

Every year the market changes direction. And it looks like a normal phenomenon, there would be stability here no one would trade)))

Surely the market will look different. Year on Year there is an increase in the valuation of the crypto market. As  more and more money gets in the prices will increase more. Top 10 currencies will look completely different except top 4 . this is bcz new tech and new alphas rise up and replace the old tech. All the top 30 coins will in the billion valuation club. At present these are just top 10 coins .

Wow, NEO was only 0.15$ last year, and at one point 1 NEO could have been sold for 150$ .
This is 1000X profit in less than 1 year. I wonder if this will be ever possible with another coin.

Considering what a huge selection of coin options, of course the market is not the one that was a year ago. Now there are about 10k altcoins... lol         

A good look back to see how far crypto world go. I hope that Time machine will be invented asap in next few years and we can be able to come back the day when Bitcoin was created to collect thousands of Bitcoin then comback to the time when Bitcoin has highest price ever to sell. LOL. I think this world will keep going further in the future and it'll chance the economy of the whole world
 

Of course it is,the cryptocurrencty market is still growing and it still has a lot of room to grow! More and more people are going to invest to our market that is why it keeps getting more massive day by day that is why holding good quality coins will give us a lot of profits do a lot of research to find those worthy coins in the market and to eliminate those shitty coins.

Man .... Ripple less than a cent.  Ethereum under $40.  I missed that boat.  I didn't start buying until June and both of those were already like 20X higher.

Yes, I fully agree with you. Many coins are overrated. And in General all the coins greatly increased. Strange that now they have fallen too much.

Well to be honest, 1 year is a long time for crypto market. Just go back 3 months and we can see the cryptolandscape was entirely different than what it is today. Ofcourse this time machine gives us goosebumps seeing and assuming, what if we had invested then  ;D

It would be interesting to know what would markets be like 1 year from now on !

Wow. Thanks for that. Not used that feature before. Crazy how much lower the prices were. Makes one wonder if we really are anywhere near the bottom of the current bear market  :o

It seems to me that this year fluctuations in prices for major cryptocurrencies will be less than in 2017. The market is becoming more stable from year to year I believe. For users this is much better. It is becoming more comfortable to work.

Good times where there:)) pretty nostalgic. We now moan about Ethereum gone $450, but a year ago it was around $35. it is x13 by now, but still not enough for us:)

I think now has a very strong impact on the market panic, which was not a year ago, because the crypt was not involved so many funds and people.

2018 definitely will be a bearish year, full of pain and cry. Look for 13´bubble... it was so small in compared to the current one, but dips lasted over a year. So think, how long time we need to hit the bottom?

In this market, no one knows what's going to happen. The market is very volatile and right now. We hope for a better year this year anyways

It is stil far from the market a year ago,indeed we are still in goog position if we bought or invested a year ago,though the market seems to be dumping today coin's prices are far better than last year's.We need to calm down so that the whole market will stabilize because panic from the crowd will only worsen the current situation in the market.

Great that some people understand this!
There are tons of other guys that think that the market can't go down. Like, come on...
I'm pretty sure that in a year we will laugh at the market right now lol  ;D ;D I hope so!

I'm a big fan of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. if you going to compare the market from last year price it's very different but if you willing to sell your coins from now then lucky for you you gain profit.

Still looks good today compare to the last year's market situation,prices are still considerable ,our market is dumping right now and it could be revert back to where it started,we should be more alert with the news in our community because anytime soon it can have reversal giving these shitcoins a good pump again!

Good old days. Do you have one for 19 March 2019?  ;)
Just curious  :)

Most always compare the previous situation last year than today. I can say we are still in good hands and hoping were not going down so big.  The best move that we can do is never panic and for sure market will explode this year.

Many of the coins are now terribly cheap and that makes perfect sense because we are on a cyclic market and that is how thing work in crypto, so yes why not going for a few cheap ones.

As we can see on the image theres really a huge difference when it comes to the prices specially into this recent day.People are disappointed because we are heading downwards without even seeing the past or the history of prices wayback on years. There would be always a difference but comparing on last years price and on upcoming december of this year, we cant still assure that we would able to see another price changes.Either we go upwards or downwards into those months.

Looks very much different,but it we are still in good hands compare to the previous years,value of each coins are still far from what we have last year and those who invested a year ago im sure is still in good hands today but if you have invested in december last year you are surely losing tons of money probably 90% of your portfolio right now.

This year is a tough year for crypto, some cryptos may die but I strongly believe good cryptos with a potential project must survive and go up in the future.

Am not surprised at what is happening around the market, I have been expecting it anyway, there was a bull run at market year (2017), now is the time to correct the market, let's it grow slow and steady. And everybody will smile at the end.

Thank you, it seems that someone in March 2019 is wondering right now about 2018 spring coin sales. It will be so every year, stronger and stronger, faster and faster. And hopefully we will see the rise of a new silverchampion - EOS.

Yeah surely it is,but it  for me it still looks good compare to the last year's performance that is why we dont need to be panicking whenever the market is dumping only those people who invested late deember could be losing a lot especially those people who bought bitcoin at $12k + ranges,but those people who invested early in 2017 could still be winning today.

It is completely different point of view now, as market is much more stronger than it was one year ago. Also, bitcoin has grown at an incredible rate and one can expect the same case next years also.

Do you know that the market has the ability to develop cyclically?

Indeed it seems to be very cheap. But you can't really compare this year to last year. Last year, March was when bitcoin was just hanging above $1k, and was clearly in the middle of a rally. Right now though, the bear market is in full blossom.

We won't see the crazy returns on your coins like last year, in fact there may even be some losses.

But as for cheap coins, now that the hype has died down for crypto, it indeed seems like coins are quite cheap and may be reaching the bottom soon. I would buy some alts/btc whenever the total crypto market cap is below $250 billion, as that is a great opportunity to get in.

Good call yes some cycles involved but its a great time for development and to bring in new players and investors. Good lessons out there to newbies on how volatile the cycles are

That’s because we are still in the first half of the year in which the market is generally at its low. But an event is coming by May which will boost the market value of many alts, especially those that will participate in it (search for "In It For The Money" in YouTube. Event name: Consensus 2018). Meaning, by May things will be looking brighter for many alts.

Still looks good for me,i have been here for about one year and a half that is why i am not worried on how the market is doing right now because whaetever happens i have a lot of profits already.Those who invested in the december 2017 probably the one who are losing a lot right now or they are already got rekt by the market volatility,if they dont know how to deal with the market.

I think its not forever that the market will like this because we all start to bottom before market hit high price last year. Maybe we need to be like this before market hit the highest price again. Just believe and be patient.

Yes ofcourse it is indeed very different that is why we shouldnt get panic because we are still in good position compare to the last year's marketcap and coins prices,winning the game isnt an easy thing to do and we should be more patient because of the market volatility! adopt whatever the market wants you to do and you wont be worried about these bloodbaths.

A year ago, the market grew very quickly. After the price of Bitcoin and Altcoins increased 10 times in less than a year, it is not strange that now there is such a deep drawdown.

that reminds me of how stupid i am for ignoring the opportunity to buy coins at a cheap price. Bitcoins is still x6 since last year and some other coins are still increase. People now are getting easily disappointed when bitcoin value is dumping, they are being impatient to wait and to see that bitcoin is still looking good despite of the recent dump

Coins are super cheap to buy now. The most important thing is to make sure you buy the strong and solid ones with a good future as many shitcoins will cease to exist then

But last year also saw a bear market for a long time, so I think this year will also bear market for a long time, and we need to do is not to lost confidence in the Cryptocurrency market.

I remembered the prices that were a year ago and it really calmed me down. The potential of crypto is very high. I hope that we will not be able to enter the bearish trend phase and will never see such prices again.

History is unlikely to be repeated, namely, with the Crypto Currency market, but I am sure that this year will be green  ::)

If I do listen to my friends about the possibility of this bearish could happen very soon, I would benefits more and not waiting for another time of bullish.

Last year was the most enjoyable time I ever experienced, since I joined in crypto world last June 2017.
