The year 2018 was completely the crypto's worst nightmare, it's really been full of ups and downs. But in spite of the bear market, there's is Dapp.com (http://Https://www.dapp.com?utm_content=Matt) who still made it. In fact, they contributed $6.7B throughout 2018. You may be interested to check their Dapp Market Report (https://www.dapp.com/article/annual-dapp-market-report-2018), such awesome!

The ups and downs of the crypto market prices are always there, only in 2018 that prices recede a lot in good coins so many people are worried about crypto's revival in the future.

I still believe that if a project is a great one it will do fine in bad market conditions, the weak ones are the ones that got crumbled on and theyvare all blaming market price ,what about those projects that has no ICO? They never request for any funds even for listing on exchanges and they are doing fine ,the reality is good projects will always stand strong both on rainy and dry season

that's good and I don't think all of this is just about the market, look at the dapps and the community that continues to grow. so this is a sign that the community still believes and is interested in this industry.

not really buddy, i think 2018 on Q1-Q2 quitely sweet, nightmare start on Q3 and last until now, hope it will end soon and crypto will recover again.

you are wrong because 2018 was not "crypto's worst nightmare" instead it was the newbie bag holders nightmare because they were new and arrogant enough not to listen to others and continued buying shitcoins in their bubbles and then started bag holding them while continuing to lose money as others dumped on their heads. otherwise everyone else have been making lots money, specially those who have been shorting altcoins hard as they got dumped hard last year.

You are right, many investors received anxiousness in the past 2018, but they hope that this year they will get extraordinary gifts.

the term "crypto's worst nightmare" may be more suitable for newcomers in crypto, because the bear market is a fate that is certain to occur with high crypto voltality. the dapps market is what I know is more productive than the bag holder because they can generate funds in a short time with instead of the product

I agree with you, yes these new comers too were the reason for downfall last year. They bought shit coins without knowing about the project and it's back ground most probably few were scammers. If the coin dumps they will sell in panic and blasted the value of cryptocurrencies last year.

2018 is indeed a nightmare for everyone. when everyone thinks it's just a small downfall, but in fact the market creates a bottomless chasm. many people lose, and on average they are new investors who have just joined at ATH.

Even if we learned late, we now know; Nothing always makes money. The Altcoins follow Bitcoin.

From time to time, we see a rise in altcoins, but then they all fall again.

This market is so fluctuating. This is why people said that bitcoin is just a bubble, and this market will collapse soon. But I think everything just begin. It's too soon to say anything.

the number of scammers and many projects that failed due to the price decline that occurred, and that was a nightmare. perhaps the most drastic decline in the history of cryptocurrency.and hopefully this year Crypto will be able to recover soon. However, the cryptocurrency has not opened its full potential.

2018 is worst nightmare for those who invested at the end of 2017.

Those days were the all time high days and people bought in due hype even without knowing where their money is going. That's the lesson that those people must learn before engaging to an investment, it's not just going up all the time and they came in at a bad time.

On checking the links provided, the first did not work, but the second which worked gave a comprehensive report of the Dapp market. Perhaps you nerd to check that first again.
Then as regards you saying 2018 is the worst nightmare in the crypto space. Well that might be for those who lack experience in trading and investment and are not ready to learn how it works.

Those who were silently accumulating and filling their bags does not call the price decline their worst nightmare. It was a good dream for a lot of buyers.

I think ups and down are normal for any business and financial market so its not anything to worry much but at the same time i know how the community is feeling to see their portfolio 10 fold down from previous highs. Although market has discouraged many but there were many positives as well for example, overall crypto adoption and usage has increased nicely in last one year and also many good exchanges are also available now.

very few investors filled their portfolios with some kind of coins. Because in such a dead market all Investors became very careful and after falling from 6 thousand to 3 thousand no one wants to buy coins and everyone is waiting for positive news

The ones we thought are bad ones are still performing well in the market, I don't see it dying since some of the are pumped too last 2017. A year of market decline really made a lot of bad noise but we though all that matters is BTC survived, luckily its not just it that survived. Most of the coins that did ICO last 2016-17 are quietly doing some progress.

It might be a nightmare for most people because of the decline that is too swooping down, but it will not forever be a nightmare because there is still hope the market will recover. Strengthen yourself to keep holding because there will be a sunny day where the market will increase high.

We all have our own history associated with successes and failures in the crypto market in 2018. However, all investors were given a chance to earn (even two, given the April rise) and they took advantage of it or not depends on a number of factors, including greed))

This really nice.  I am happy to hear that a particular project do very well in 2018! Because we are all regretting not selling our coin in January and many investors are now in a dip jeopardy in the states of they investments.  I thought all coins do bad but thank God for dapp that makes us proud.

Indeed, 2018 was difficult for the cryptocurrency market.
Many players have lost a significant part of the money.
Some simply left the cryptocurrency market forever.
I think that in any case, you need to stay on the market and play by its rules.
During this time, you will gain experience and will be able, after recovery, to quickly figure out how to work in the new environment.

Of course, I am not very surprised that there are companies that transferred 2018 very well. and even achieved notable success, because most of the other projects now feel very bad, so companies that stand out in the current market conditions really deserve respect. There are very few of them now.

I think that difficult times are forcing traders to evolve. I think that many have learned a good lesson and will now become stronger and more professional. I think that everything is not so bad.

I have always been amazed by people's faith. But in fact we are visible in this market? Scammers And projects that do not cost anything. The fall of Bitcoin and Eth. I do not think that 2019 will bring us a sharp leap or allow us to return our money.

Okay, let's not look at the end of 2019.

Such a nightmare arose from the fact that fraudsters divorced on projects that do not pay, only some companies are honest and worthy of respect. Faith and striving for the best actions in 2019 in the cryptography market will provide an opportunity to be on the rise.

2018 was really not the best year for cryptocurrency. But some projects are not prevented it. I think that if the project is good, it will cope under any market conditions. Such projects will live forever and we need to invest in them.

Cryptos worst nightmare will be the creation of quantum computer, because it can hach the blockchain, so this industry will die quickly.

2018 was such a terrible year for crypto-currencies. Most investors would hope that 2019 will be totally different from 2018 in order not to loose faith in the system

Perhaps many people will not understand me, but I still think that this is a normal situation for the crypto-currency market, since if you look at the market chart or better look at how the Bitcoin exchange rate changed from the very beginning, and these were always downturns. I think that the market will start to grow closer to the middle of 2019 and the growth will be quite long, but so far the market should fall and it will fall even more.

Crypto markets are full of ups and downs. Some factors affect to our daily life and other factors is useless for smart trader. Investors are afraid of another leg of downtrend and noone is successful with guessing future.

2017 is a proud year for all crypto activists and everyone is happy because the price of bitcoin reaches the highest price. and this year I thought it was difficult to achieve pleasure like 2017. I didn't say that bitcoin bubbles but the decline in bitcoin prices is normal and requires time to rise again.

You could say that 2017 is the gold for cryptocurrency and in 2018 karen silver has experienced a very large decline, and for this year it is still unknown because it is still at the beginning of the year, many hope that this year will be a revival of cryptocurrency but anything can happen in the future because of unpredictable fluctuations.

Well, i cannot say that this year is the worst. So far, i feel that 2018 is the worst crypto era because we can see that the market is decreasing in that year. And 2019 is just beginning, i will not say as the worst because it still has about 11 months to grow.

Volatility is a common occurrence in the cryptocurrency space and it doesn't make it the worst nightmare. I don't know If you are trying to chill dapp.com but it doesn't always work like that.

The reality of cryptocurrency is that it is full of ups and downs, you should expect it and get used to it.

2018 was indeed a bad thing that happened to crypto where investors especially the ones who just started to invest during the bullrun lost a huge amount of money. Many got a lot while the others lost a lot. It's just the nature of the msrket I guess.

NO not yet, the price of the cryptos in its early stage is far more lower than what we experienced today, as a crypto enthusiast, we should consider this as an opportunity to gain profit through buying more.

Because in 2017, the crypto market cap reach the all time high since 2010. But let us say in 2020 got a bull run and suddenly experience another Bearish Market in the next yeat. So we can say now again 2020 is the new worst crypto nightmare. Right?

What do these common phrases have to do with it?
I said that even inexperienced traders / investors could earn at least 2 times last year.

I analyzed existing dapps, but situation is worse than I imagined originally. There are like 3 popular dapps, IDEX is the most popular one. There is a smal amount of active wallets, decentraland haven't updated github for ages and everything is bad

This bear market time is an excellent period for preparation of new technologies and projects. I think Binance and a lot of other successful projects from mid-2017 did start to develop in 2015-16 when the previous recession took place. Let's be strong and keep going forward, guys!

The crypto market nightmare is almost over. If the recent news making the round that Russia may purchase about $10Billion bitcoin in order to evade US sanctions is true, then the market we recover sharply.

yes 2018 is worst for crypto, its like i cant believe that when crypto will drop till so deep, so i hope in the 2019 that will good year for invest, 2018 is best time to buy and hold it 2019 years for crypto coming back again

2018 A terrible year for cryptocurrency. To be honest, I was disappointed. The situation is extremely difficult. Well, there is nothing, I think new projects will help the market to revive.

it seems that more and more exchanges that have dapp technology will be removed and will make bad news that can influence the price of cryptocurrency.

True, but how many of those projects we have in the community? A minority I guess, which means that most projects suffer greatly due to the bear market which is deserved in my eyes because many of those projects were only created with the intention of making money and many of those that invested in those projects did not really care about the technology behind the project either they only wanted to get easy profits as well.

The pump and dump is always there its just that 2017 bitcoin and altcoin price increase dramatically so when 2018 enter it goes down so quickly and go down even more before 2018 end .

By far the worst thing that could happen to bitcoin is another inflation bug.  There was one in the early days and a recent one was just narrowly avoided after it was discovered by a Bitcoin Cash developer.  Could you imagine the havoc it would have caused on the market and it would make a lot of people lose faith in crypto all together.

This is not a nightmare, but this is a good turn. you have the opportunity to buy cryptocurrency very cheap. Use this opportunity

Very informative and well done report, thanks. In combination with the latest news from Japan, it prompts some thoughts about the future development of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

Are you sure ? after all the losses and you still think 2018 is not a nightmare.
everyone loses their money at the bear market and that's not a good situation. because of this now we are in a situation where everyone is hesitant to hold on to the long term.

We are already experiencing the same ups and downs this year. Sometimes even coins that have good deliverable, at the initial stage will also first experience the same, because of the activities of traders. Later on, you will the see such coin rising at an exponential rate.
I have seen a project on DAPP that succeeded greatly last year. Although the ICO just ended the January of this year. The name of the project is Hetachain. It was able to raise huge amount of money through private investors.

Cryptocurrencies will recover again. It was a rough 2018. This 2019 will be good and a memorable one for cryptocurrency.

Without any doubt, crypto has experienced the worst in 2018 which has cost many their hard earn money,though some coin still strive in 2018.

To be candid, year 2018 was a bad year for crypto, many lost all they have in the crypto market,but in the mist of that,there are some coin that actually maintain there value.

No need to think that 2018 is the worst year for crypto. In fact, it is so but only at the present moment. There are still many surprises ahead of us, both good and bad.  ;)

Well what can be seen which coins are held and which are in demand. Such a period, sifting scam, fraudulent projects, and their coins. Or simply unsuccessful. So coincided on the 2018 nothing terrible.

I think that 2019 won't be a nightmare. Exactly, the market will stop falling and it's not so bad. I think that at the end of this year the new bullrun will start. Many huge companies are making new products which are connected with crypto so we need to wait.

Some projects are doing wonderfully well as I speak. There are some that are trading above ICO price. Which means that the present market situation is not a barrier. Rather, a coin that is progressing based on its milestone, will have what will interest other investors.
It is more or less like an attractive force that will definitely workout well.

You considered 2018 as worst only if you invested bigtime in 2017 and bought coins at very high prices. The 2018 was the opposite of 2017. A loss of atleat 90% registered in the history of cryptocurrency. But, looking at the whole history of cryptocurrency 2018 was better compared to the other slump years.

We can say that early 2018 till now is still the nightmare for us. If we are looking for the short investment, this can be the worst time during 2019 until this day. But, for us who are looking for the long-term investment, this is good enough because we can purchase more promising coins in the down price.

The market and all analysis have stated that this nightmare is still ongoing. As on that Dapp market report that shows how the value and rate on the details.
Well, so far, we cannot avoid being in this nightmare blood-bathing market until this day. But, we still have the chance to be more patient if you want. To keep surviving is very difficult, but we have no choice.

Whatever happened in 2018 is meant to happen and we can't expect crypto price to always stay at higher price ,market correction is what happened and it might take longer than expected before we start seeing recovery

As of the moment, I would also say that the nightmare is ongoing and the market will continue to bleed in the first quarter. We thought that the bear market will be over, but I'm afraid that it will take more time for the bulls to wrestle the market for them. But in any case who should be prepared for the worst and don't expect anything so that we won't be disappointed.

And just look at the bright side of it, at least this bear market has teaches all of us a good lesson. The price won't go on parabolic rise so its better for everyone to be flexible and take aside that all-time-high for the moment and let to trade and book profits even at this bearish trend.

Good that site you are shilling made it, I hope that projects that survive or come up even in these brash conditions will do better in future.

One thing I have come to understand is that some projects actually make it through no matter the up and down in the market. The strong will remain strong while the weak will fall apart

2018 was a test not only for a newcomer, but also for investors, traders and the entire crypto-community. I came to the world of crypto in 2018, not understanding what was happening with the market and did not understand the general rush to cryptocurrency. Now I understand that the excitement was caused by a surge of attention, not only from the profile community, but also from ordinary people who have nothing to do with the financial sphere. Having a little understood, having gained experience, I am waiting for the market to rise in 2019-2020.

There is no financial market that remains the same year in year out,so the cryptocurrency market is not an exceptional,for the Dapp market it's quite encouraging to see such great market performance report

You are right, even in such market conditions, some projects continue their development and try to attract funds to create their project and develop technology, but you need to take into account the fact that not all projects / coins remain on the market, some will cease to exist.But I am sure that in the near future the situation will improve, and investing in projects will again bring us profit.

I got in to the crypto during the previous global dump in 2014-2016. I learned a lot of technical and trading staff during the previous bear market. I was lucky so I was able to earn pretty much money. Current bear market is almost the same as it was back then. I have a holiday throughout the second half of 2018 because I can afford it thanks to crypto. Don't give up, learn everything you really need and you will become successful.

Uptrend and downtrend will always be there with crypto market but I believed that those who have the patience to hold on to their assets for long term will harvest their gain in the future. There are a lot of opportunity with cryptocurrency you just have to be wise and take time to learn and find those legit and potential projects that could give you fortune.

It is not the worst nightmare, the worst nightmare would be ETH for 15 bucks and Bitcoin for 600 bucks. We are still having amazing prices to enter the market and I hope we won't have such an opportunity anymore in the nearest future.

The good news is that the nightmare continues and a lot of interested investors has vast opportunities to make more investments.

As a newbie, understand how it works as a bounty hunter or trader
And pick your profits, the bull run is a long way off

It is not surprising that 2018 was one of the worst years in the crypto currencies history. The market was falling deeper and deeper and there are still no signs of recovery. Things will get better with Bakkt launch and ETH 2.0 update.

That's life, the ups and down never gone and i think cryptocurrency in 2018 is the biggest deficit of all times in crypto history since many of the investors get bankrupt and some until now cant find any profit from what they invest.

It seems like a crypto nightmare in 2018, it is a complete down trend, many people have left crypto because of that, I hope 2019 crypto prices will come back.

Yes, nothing can stop them. It is really a great platform and it always has a team working very hard to take the crypto market to new heights.
I often appreciate such teams and it makes me more confident about a bright future of crypto.
Even though the market is at an alarming level, I still believe our market will never collapse. :D

Everyone is hoping for the prices to comeback but lot of analysis says we still didn't reach the bottom yet so chances of fscing few more prices to fell on the coming days but still long term holders no need to painc the next cycle will give more profits than the current one.

2018 is worst day for trading and investing also those coins that good at 2017 get drop before we get into 2018 so many people loss a huge amount of money for investors that get invested lot of ico scams.

In 2018 it was just a continuos downward momentous, there was no single upward movement in that mix but this is 2019 and I know that things are bracing up for a change, I can feel it in my bones.

2018 was a very terrible year for Cryptocurrencies no doubt but d'Apps seems to be doing so well like you mentioned, there is one d'App on the EOS blockchain that had more daily transactions than the bitcoin blockchain and this isn't even isolated to one, in the financial aspect, they are doing well also.

The weak projects collapsed? Are you saying that the price collapse for the BTC makes it a weak project? Indeed, it is normal for the prices on the crypto market to drop drastically once. Otherwise, investors would not appear and everything would be capped. If you analyze the coin price graphs, you will find that they have been downs all the time. These downs are normal, and we have to get used to them, and even profit and invest. I think the year 2019 will be like 2018, a year on investment.

Those people who today have not been able to fix their profits in the USDT or in the BTC are unfortunately experiencing enormous psychological problems. There are cases of people committing suicide.

It was not a nightmare for crypto currencies but for its investors. A lot of people are stuck in crypto because they have invested during the last pump. Hope crypto will recover and we will see new hights.

I think that until now people are still not too afraid, because the level of fear is still kept at a relatively medium-low level.

Yes, 2018 turned out to be a very bad year. But that's okay. This is not the first global fall, as well as in 2017 was not the last growth. We just have to wait. Every drop crypto is losing people, but with every growth come even more. And many of them remain.

2018 was a complete disaster for the bulls with prices dropping by up to 99% in some cases. you either threw the towel in and sold at a huge loss or perhaps took the opportunity to increase holdings in some of the quality coins and wait for a recovery. Prices are likely to rise at some point so if you have the patience to wait things out the rewards will come. Quality projects will continue but 2018 was likely the end of some of the poorly managed projects.

of course the ups and downs of the price are on the way to the future. because each trip sometimes conditions change by themselves. so whatever the crypto is. we must be grateful instead of avoiding us. because the events you say are natural so we don't need to panic.

Maybe people don't expect if 2018 the market price will go down very far. So they dare to buy the price of coins at high prices, but the market price collapses and many are trapped in losses. Yes, I agree that throughout 2018 this was a bad idea for Crypto.

Last year was considered a nightmare by many especially those individuals who bought btc in the last quarter of 2017.
They thought that riding the bandwagon will make them rich.
And 2018, is the year of learning - how crypto really works and how to deal with different altcoins & tokens that were created every single day.
Not totally a nightmare for those smart traders. You can still get your profit if you know how crypto market behaves.

I am not very upset about this, because 2018 has also brought a lot of useful things. A large number of scams have helped us to learn even more carefully to choose projects, so as not to fall for them. We have also received good projects this year, which have good prospects in the future.

Things happen for a reason and it's up to us on how to handle the way it should be. From the start, this is already been said that it's a risky kind of business due to many ups and downs that happens suddenly. 2018 definitely be not good but this isn't the first time to happen so, we must always consider it as part of the game.

Ups and downs is always there in crypto but even the market is down there some projects that can be successful in this kind bearish season. So I think that's why dapps made their successful even the market is bearish because they know how to manage it and they know to resolve it.

I agree and it is the nightmare for those new in the market because they just come in without knowing on the high volatility of crypto. That really disappoint them and cannot believe that there investment come little and little value to let go what they are holding. It is the worst because they expect to rise again but won't happen instead it drops for more and start to doubt the potential of the coin.

Ever since I have been in the crypto space,  2018 has been the worse seen and I feel that will be the end of the worse ever. If any is going to happen again, it will take a another long time again.
I expect to see a lot of changes this year. The year has just started and I am hoping to see improvement in coming months.
