Hi;

Alt market cap is now lower than it was this time last year! What a mass.

Kind regards

This is terrible to know especially when atleast 300 to 400 new alts and tokens have been added as a result of dozens of icos in the last year, i hope market will recover from here so that the stats should look decent.

buy now that is cheap.

I can't be in a haste to give up on crypto despite the current state of the market. I only see it as an opportunity to buy some good coins that have been expensive. It's important to staggers your buys, but importantly, buy the dip. The crash is blessing in disguise depending on how you see it.

It's lower now unlike before and this only has one meaning, the bear's not yet out.

Two things that we must keep on doing, HODLING and buying. If you want to get out of the market for awhile, then you can keep on holding but if you see this as a great opportunity then do the two things that I've said. Keep on holding and buy the cheaper coins at the same time.

That's true it's because the bitcoin dominance that is increasing so fast lately, therefore altcoin marketcapitalization getting crushed over and the funds is getting away. It's because crypto is at bearish point.
while the bitcoin gaining some popularity over media because of that bitcoin going to the opposite direction to the altcoin.

Bitcoin dominance of market is at a new peak of 55.6% today. Market is showing some bottoming signs again so hopefully it will bounce back up next week.

All of coin are going crash at this moment, not even great things to see but somehow the moment like this could be great for make accumulation. But since there are no guarantee what will happen next, all that we do is just make speculation. I preefer to see what will happen at the end of this month before decide what will do next.

if you have some BTC or eth right now, its best to just move it to tether to be safe and if you have usd, just live it as usd because the bear market isn't going to be over this easily. you'd really have to think about 2 years before this market is going to move up again. right now, i might just be concetrating on my online business and forget trading. the rest of you guys might as well do.

well, at this point even i dont know what happen or why is this happening. but im not gonna panic sell and cutloss at this lowest point. just hold and hope everything is gonna get better in a bullrun

market cap decreases have occurred throughout the year and there are no signs of improvement. we better make anticipation if the market falls and continues to deteriorate to minimize our losses.

it time to buy and HODL

Yes, you're right. this has always been the case. if the future investment wants to be an economic power. this whole blockchain-based system must wait patiently for access to the old high levels after the bottom level. we need to find out where the support level is and make the right decision.

True. Because this is a big opportunity for us to buy at the cheapest price and to gain huge profits in the future, so we should grab this opportunity immediately.  But i think we need to wait more time before buying because it seems like the crashing moment is not yet finished.

I think this crash will be heavy and full of tears. But still, we need something to wipe the market totally clean from the useless and just-made-for-easy-money coins/tokens. The market got so saturated with coins/tokens that do nothing that helped to get the bubble going.

There is a lot of panic in the crypto sphere at the moment, all currencies are dropping, fast. Some are using this opportunity to buy more, some have cut their losses. Others have paused active trading.

This can be said to be the right thing, but we also have to be able to analyze various data and conditions that exist. Investing in the world of digital currencies today and especially Altcoins are in a quite risky condition. The concern that is the subject of the problem is that whether the decline in Altcoin prices will continue to decline or not? If the price reduction is over then surely this is an opportunity to be able to make a big profit. Mistakes in making decisions will have an impact, of course, on the future that we achieve.

I think the biggest reason for this year's market impact is the manipulation of the market by fraudsters and whales. Many investors have gone bankrupt because of fraud!

I sympathize with all those who just kept the cryptocurrency from January to today. I am one of that number and have lost over 120 thousand dollars

OMG what you doing right now.

SELL IT OR HODL?

Yes, it`s true, but now market already stabilized before ETF correction. If Bitcoin-ETF will be accepted we will see fast recovering of the market.

this issue does not stop being published so traders and investors become hesitant to transact. we'll see, the effect is very large, like ICOs that fail and altcoins fall. this issue must be resolved and hope there are no more issues and let crypto grow with its community without rules or regulations from the government.

i hope all market will recover in this end of month, and start bullrun for both bitcoin and all altcoin so we have november rain in money..

Alt market capital drastically falling down in the marketplace.

If you check any price analysis site you can find the information like mostly Bitcoin grabbed the complete price dominance in the marketplace now. Hopefully all things will be set back to normal once value turns up.

Because there are more alts right now than last year! And everyone, even if not a good team, or even just a small team can make an ICO, make their platform, make their alternate tokens and just do whatever they want. I think the market really needs some regulation right now to act as a filter so only the teams and organization with the capacity to do their project right can go through.

How mate it will be possible in this month. The current market is bleeding so many peoples are stay away in crypto investment. I think end of the year we will see some positive response in crypto market.
 But next november surely we will expect good results in market. If you need quick hype you must stay away in crypto because many investors are loose the investment.

It still can go lower( But this ICO's with millions capitalization and no real product should be cleaned out from the market.

It can be shitty and depressing to actually see your wallet go down hugely in value and it is understandable because people will always tend to want to find a reason why they should be worried rather than finding a way to make amendment. No one is above mistake, shit happens, what is important is to learn from those mistakes and make better decisions later on. It is crazy to see how much money has moved out from alts, but I guess it is what it is and there is nothing anyone can easily do about it.

Right now, few altcoins are trading in green but that is not the scenario to assume that you will enter into profit zones as long persisting crash market must need at least month long green days to enable us to see ourselves in profits.

If you are selling now at loss, then you are obviously making a terrible mistake. As long as you have been holding and you have not sold, then it is better to just simply hold on to what you have now and be looking for ways to be buying the bottom if you have extra cash. The market will always recover at some point as long as it is not dead and by buying the bottom, you compensate yourself with the profit when the market picks up and for waiting for such a long time while learning from the mistakes you made in the past that brought you into such shitty situation in the first place.

Bitcoin dominance is reducing last days so altcoins are green. It's a good sign because I think it's the end of 9 months bear market. I hope new bull market will make us rich because we've survived here ;D

Time to recover I guess, patience is really the key though we still need to wait for more longer before we will be able to get back on proper trading. At lease seeing green gives hope.

Generally Bitcoin was the leader in the crypto-currency market, but today another point is of interest, Why the etherium has moved to the third place of the crypto-currency market. Ripples went around in terms of capitalization and this is alarming.

Market capitalization doesn't affect the coins you discuss I don't see the point in these numbers. Today some numbers, the other tomorrow so keep.

Hopefully we'll make this over in an exact time, and every people could survive for the goodness of their asset. This time while the crash happened, we need to stay strong and be cautious enough, and watch our actions because panic might have destroy us.

I hope that was the dip and we see the bear trend reversal now because market cap is growing last week besides we can see good signs of some coins pumps (DOGE, XRP, STR, ADA). Last year we saw IOTA pump in November before the bull run.

Things change drastically in just 2 weeks. Now alt coins market cap is almost double as ti was a year ago.  To get some useful information is better to use averages.

Obviously, the expectations of most crypto investors that the market will grow by analogy with last year, did not materialize, and it really upsets me, because I also waited for this. It seems that from all the crypto currency only XRP has now the chance to repeat the history of its last year's success .

I still believe that the crypto currency will return the figures of 2017. But nevertheless, I try not to turn to any forecasts regarding the crypto currency, because they are practically all false.

Yes because BTC dominance are really so high right now but it slowly fading away few days ago and hopefully it will switch to altcoins and once that happen bull market will start for sure.

I also bought in January but a little. I periodically invest when there is free money. Do not worry, the market will recover

We had a two year bull run, people need to be objective here, Ethereum went from less than $1 to $1400, those people that entered the market in the mid or tail end of the bull market are the ones checking  the marketcap often. I think we are very close to the bottom and one thing for a fact is that some pf these tokens won't go up again and their value would eventually go to zero

Today is the time the hodlers have waited since they bagged some in the altcoin crash. We are hoping this will be the start of the bull run. The whales and manipulators have been trying to lure those with bonuses this period.  :D ;D

This is precisely the opportunity to buy and hold this very rare thing, the lowest price, why should you be afraid to buy, believe the market will experience a resurgence, as happened last year

now your expectations are the same as the expectations of other investors here, the exam and we are required to continue to have patience and confidence in starting to invest

That's is what I'm doing during the bear market, though I'm buying at small amount of money that I have but I believe small things will be great in the future. We don't need to be panic, if you can see the market now its pumping again this is just a matter of pump and dump and its normal. Be confident and be brave to take the risk, I know this is worth the risk to all of us.

It's not as bad as what could happen if the outcome of the next ETF approval isn't favorable for the market so I wouldn't worry yet ::)

If you are worried, I think this is a good opportunity. Because the cost of altcoins is not always the same. This is a good time to invest in the long run. I think we should invest early instead of being cautious right now.

With the increase in the number of coins on the market, on the contrary, capitalization should have been growing. But everything spoils the bear market, which suspended the work of many projects and killed the price of many stable alts. So I think this is not the worst yet.

keep holding even though the storm occurs, because we don't know when the market will soar suddenly but hopefully the surge will happen as soon as possible.
many new tokens or coins now I think affect coin coins that are already popular because the coin holders move to new coins, imagine there are now 1000 coins or tokens that grow and if we imagine it might be very influential

Market is cyclic. It is impossible to see high prices every time. The general rules are: you should not to bee too greedy, fix your income and use risks diversification.

This time, when the market is in a state of the crash, the long-term investment is the right decision. The market can fluctuate up and down erratically, but if you persist, you will certainly earn big profits from the long-run investment.

It's lower because bitcoin has been low as well but not generalizing the whole alt market cap, some of them are going up and being pumped by its holders and investors. While your favorite alts aren't so good, then take your time and its possible the right time for you to start buying it. Don't also be hyped if an alt is being pump because it will suddenly be dumped by those profit takers and you may not know that you felt FOMO and just bought it.

If you look at the total capitalization and on the altcoin capitalization charts, you will see that these diagrams are very similar. This shows that, on average, altcoins go after BTC. Thus, there is no cause for concern. BTC will grow, the alts will grow. It should be remembered that some altcoins will die before this time ;D.

2013 to present: A promising future. Bitcoin copper rises dramatically. By December 2017, the crypto currency was up to $ 16,900, follow more coin new born. And now, people have had a glimpse of crypto. People and businesses have accepted it as a valuable currency.

I agree with you, altcoin and bitcoin will rise,
and marketcap will also rise, we wait and hope

The fall is significant, but only if you compare prices with last year. Some altcoins have not yet reached their bottom. As for this year's ICO, they look very sad in the overwhelming majority and only the strongest will survive.

The whole alt market cap is low, because a lot of alt coins had a all time high in the previous year. This mean that the value in average were more in comparison with this year.

I think the market really needs some regulation right now to act as a filter so only the teams and organization with the capacity to do their project right can go through.

this is true, at least the a set of rules need to be follow for new ICO.

the market will grow by analogy with last year, did not materialize, and it really upsets me, because I also waited for this. It seems that from all the crypto currency only XRP has now the chance to repeat the history

Now we are used to seeing prices fall every day. Today we have seen the decline again, the price of both bitcoin and altcoins fell. I started to think that there would be a harder fall after the price drop :)

this fall was expected because the market is preparing for a breakthrough. Before this jerk there should be a short-term correction

At this stage, whatever the outcome of the ETF wants to be like, no one really cares and for any reason, I really do not see ETF having that much of a long term effect on the market and even if we get to see anything at all, this would be some short term thing and of course, it just gives in more opportunity for those who are smart enough to end up buying more into the market dips while the ignorant and dumb ones chicken out.

However stats want to look, people will always want to spell out dooms day scenario in any of it. Altcoin have gone down in value so it is expected to see their market crash go down hugely, but we also have to understand that this is a general market condition that affected bitcoin as well, so no coin or token was left out. As long as people tend to cash out profit and there are panic sellers, there will always be occasions like this until market finally bottoms out.

That is what every smart investor should always do. The experienced investors always buy when everyone is panicking and selling without assurance where the market is going next and then also selling when others are buying. It seems the best way to always take advantage of the market is to always do the opposite but most of the time people always prefer to just keep making decisions emotionally in the market when they should be taking advantage of it.

It is bad and is getting worst day by day. Market still in RED. Most of the ALT's are below pre-Ico price. Most of the current ICO's have postponed or cancelled TGE.

Hopefully like last year in Q4 this year also Market might gives us all a reason to smile. Till then fingers crossed.

You are only looking with today's market condition but you don't look the market a year ago. And it's your fault for doing much of those ICO tokens that only some of them are legitimate with what they proposed.

All crypto's are suffering now and this is a correction.

Few days from now and Q4 is coming, let's hope for the best.

this is the time to buy more and hold until it will pump, dont worry bacause it will pump in the right time. and i think only positive.

it is the right action, now is the time to buy, not to sell. but be patient and put it a buy order at the lowest price. don't mind the market cap that crashes, continue to fold your assets and you will be a lucky person in the future.

The crypto market is not limited, it is a free market, and in a short time there will be a high pump price, and then it is time to sell the coin. out

Only one thing, you should do not expecting too much about the pump of cryptocurrency because most of the crypto coins are scam, fake that copied to other coins. Patience is the key of success, we need to be patient in this situation.

I also waited for this. It seems that from all the crypto currency only XRP has now the chance to repeat the history of its last year's success .

We must remember that there are no real prerequisites for the disappearance of crypto currencies. This industry is only gaining momentum. Many rich people accumulate in their wallets huge amounts of bitcoin and other currencies.
Any market has a cycle. Crypto market is no exception. The price will always grow, and then fall, and then again grow and so on ...
Don't let negative emotions influence your mind. If there are no moral forces for daily trading, then just stop viewing the course daily. Take a break. Time will pass and you will be grateful to such advice. Don't give up!

all top altcoyn have a chance to repeat last year's pump. I am sure that in the next 4 months it will happen

The expectations of most crypto investors that the market will grow by analogy with last year, did not materialize, and it really upsets me, because I also waited for this.

Unfortunately I think that we will see market capitalization lower than $100 B in the first half of the next year. So Bitcoin and all altcoins will continue to fall until Bitcoin will drop under $2000, where as I think the reversal will happen.

Based on what did you get to this conclusion? Are you financial or crypto expert, or did you know that any expert have announced some FACTS that support that theory?

We do not need to panic  what happened in the altcoins that crash in lower price because it is normal.The best thing to do is buy and hold.We are patiently wait until the price was rising then sell it for our goal to gain profit in the future.

This was due to the market is still in the middle of bearish trend that some people are now afraid to invest in which in result the real demand of Crypto currency specially Altcoins is keep getting low. Hopefully this bearish market will be over soon so that the confidence of the people to invest will back.

we all hope the better comes sooner.

I think now the market has reached a bottom limit and now let's invest. This is really an opportunity because blockchain technology is being used by many large companies. Besides, there are many big businesses like BMW who want to pay with bitcoin and hold for 10 years.

you are right and if we look globally there have been many merchant, shops, e commerce and other businesses that accept bitcoin as a payment currency.

indeed the market is crashing, but that doesn't mean crypto will end, this is a process to achieve a better future than now.

So? You're going to quit this world? LOL. Seem like you're regretting about your decision at the moment cause all altcoins are rising back, especially XRP :). You should know that not only alt market, although BTC, king of crypto world, also fall to hell at this time :). If you can't be patient so don't hope that you can survive in this world.

Well conditions are already reasonable because the BTC price is being destroyed, and maybe everything will start to improve when BTC has begun to become truly stable. We all hope for more SEC decisions regarding the submission of ETFs.

But only if you compare prices with last year. Some altcoins have not yet reached their bottom. As for this year's ICO, they look very sad in the overwhelming majority and only the strongest will survive.

i think alt market can recover by the end of this year and we will see another green year next year! (finger crossed)

You need to see this as an opportunity, I know that this is a sign to be worried about, but it's also sign that you need to take action, the fact that all the coins went down in value significantly after the crash means that you can pick almost any coin in the market, buy it and make profits in the next years by just holding it, making money has never been this easy but you need to take the chance.

in any case, each of us understands that the future Without crypto currency is impossible, These are only certain projects with Can not survive the difficulties. But thanks to large corporations and their support, the crypto currency will be able to reach a new level in the financial world.

True that most alts are just pump and dump coins but sone alts do have a lot of potential like Ethereum, Litecoin.
Ethereum since entering the financial market, has now gained major acceptance and is now adopted by big companies like Microsoft, Intel, leading it to have now a good market capital of $22.5 billion.
Similarly, Litecoin since the adoption by Coinbase, has seen major increase in its market capital and has also gained stability in the past 3 years. The coin is considered as the silver to bitcoin's gold and has the potential to cross the $500 mark by the end of 2018 with one of the best development teams behind it.
These are good alts and you can expect good returns from them in the future.

yes many altcoins are crash now, even they down so deep more than its ICO price
it is our opportunity to buy it, then we can get high profit

Yeah it's a real shame. It seems as if last years gains have now been totally wiped out. And this situation is just getting worse, now we are way down from last years price...

Let's see how many coins survive in this lingering correction, this in principle influenced the capitalization indicators. And now 200 billion seems to be a new benchmark, after which, within a year, should return to the previous level.

Altcoin is being tested by the community so the market is red and almost closes the altcoins that have no potential.
Coins don't work and die so that the developer leaves them.

If it is a question of long-term investments, then they should be performed at different points in time, trying to catch the lowest possible cost.

I think Bitcoin as well as the Altcoins are all in the same state of decline. Besides the similarities they are slowly recovering are expected to increase. I believe in these things because i think it is time for the crypto market to wake up and not be able to sleep that way. And how long should sleep be heated by the form of price increases in the last months of this year. So we need patience and faith to avoid being disturbed at this moment. ;D ;D ;D

This correction is a second chance to load up on good coins at bargain sale prices. Market will come back up strong and will go to new highs next year.

At any time, a long process of falling can begin, and at a short distance you will remain in the red, so long-term investment is less risky

The price of crypto currencies were falling since the beginning of this year but somehow bitcoin managed to resist at some level but altcoins kept falling too harder but now everything looks settle and it looks are at stable or flat market now but towards end of this year we may see some uptrend in my opinion.

Can you tell us what Intel and Microsoft is doing with Etehreum?   I can answer instead of you. They are not doing anything.  Etehreum have one sole use case. It offers startups to crow found their project. All those startups will have legal problems latter on and it seems ICO space cooled down a bit lately. If it totally end, then Ethereum is recked.

It seems now that we have to start thinking positively again and don't despair with the decline in Altkoin this year because the time will end soon and the cryptocurrency market will begin to rise again I am sure that entering Q4 will all start to rise again.

Yes.  The market is recovering.  bitcoin at the very strong resistance is $ 6k3, the top altcoin is growing very strong.  I also believe that in the last months of the year the market will increase again and develop strongly.

Everyone must move on and stop saying about the decline for this year because it already did. Looking forward in the future because there are good things that awaits for everyone.

Too many ICO's and Altcoins are in the market, some Altcoins doesn't even have a proper platform or any real world usage. Some one needs to regulate the ICO, investors are getting tierd of all the nonsense ICO. ICO market needs regulation.

I am glad that it has been happening but I would prefer to stay a realist. You know that any time another crash can happen. The things in the crypto world are so unstable - you never know what can happen tomorrow.

So far, we have seen the market trying as much as possible to take a new turn for some days now based on the signals on the chart and indicators. I would not say we can categorically just start getting into the market immediately or whether there is a bullish confirmation yet until of course we see the trend of the bull run starting, but as it is, I would say for what it is worth at the moment, it might be a good time to be picking the dips bit by bit and hope for the best in the short term. Although, during this period the sentiment generally is usually bullish across board, so at this stage, I guess we only have to wait and see.

The market is in the midst of a $ 6000 to $ 7000 tug of war to overcome that limitation, but at that price it is also said to be higher than last year and it is preparing to make a breakthrough.

now I see that some coins are starting to increase, hopefully this is a good point that all will return to stable and continue to rise,Hopefully what we hope is true

The main factor that makes the marketcap altcoins crash is because of the many scam projects, when someone invests in altcoins and he gets a scam, he can be sure he will never be interested in investing altcoins.

Yes the market cap of Bitcoin and ETH has considerably reduced. A rise of $600 in the market value of Bitcoin can surge up the total market cap by some $9billion which is a very high count. The same could be said for the fall and that is the reason we have a red market.

But the prices will of course not fall to zero and this mean a hope is still there for the recovery. Majority of the investors call it an incentive to invest for benefits ahead.

i think it's normal, many people just want the market always goes up but they cant accept if the market goes down
we must realize that market is up and down, this is probability system

We are still in a bear market, whatever anyone says, a small pump here and there won't convince me otherwise. This bear market has lasted almost a year with barely any upside and only those who tethered in and out and caught some pump and dumps were the lucky ones. This bear market has brought me to my knees and feel for me it is almost the end of the road if a miracle doesn't happen to jump-start the market before January of next year. I only have three months of money left to live on and a small bag of coins left, if I have to use that for living expenses then I will be forced to be kicked out of crypto as a source of living and income. I hope that will not be the case and the market turns at some point.

Not so many as you have said, but we are getting there gradually. I know for one thing, development across board by the day has been increasing, we tend to keep seeing new innovations each and every time and then we see the chances of adoption increasing hugely as we keep going every day. I believe whoever wants to see now as a crash and bail out will only have themselves to blame in the long run when the market eventually recovers. I guess at this stage, we really do not need any soothsayer to tell us the best time to be picking is the dip as far as I am concerned.

Probably 5% to 25% of coins in current markets may reach zero value in coming days rather than expecting them to recover. Yes, up to 25% of the coins in crytpo markets are just scam and these are the coins which is spreading panic among investors and then these lead to crash.

You really need to understand the market situation, Most of them has become euphoric from ath to falling wedge. We are in the cryptospace so -90% is normal but in the stock market this is a extremely bad. In cryptocurrency it all have reaction on bitcoin prices so be ready on that coz we are on speculative investment. Let's just wait of mainstream adoption.
