Why Altcoin has not been priced where Bitcoin Stable has been in the same place for a long time.

because altcoin still doesn't have potential. just look at the speculation about altcoin at this time to discuss more about whether altcoin can survive or not. there is nothing to discuss about the possibility of altcoin coins going up.
from here we can only conclude that many people are pessimistic about the rise in altcoin. so this is why even when bitcoin stabilizes altcoin only goes up a few percent.

When altcoin price keeps disappointing what is your own point of view on it? i think its a good time to start building your portfolio while altcoins are still cheap or rather disappointing like you said, things will never be the same when we enter the new year

well mate nothing is stable price including bitcoin you must know that don't be weak brother ,what altcoin do you mean? We all understand and the same when conditions are weakening but we must entrust all to the developer and continue to research all the projects we finance ,prices will change and improve someday so we must relax and be patient

Some preferred its not likely an alcoin season yet. But instead of waiting for the prices to rise I think its better to buy those with potential while they’re on sale. But if you really want to make quick profit right now Bitcoin is still the best option to trade.

There is still a solution to it.
Buy that deep. Just pick the right altcoins of your choice.

This aint new anymore. It might keep on going but there will be a time that it will rise again. Do not lose hope, there is just too much competition by now.
Look at how much altcoin is listed in CMC. That much aint good anymore.
Keep your bitcoin and then go buy some altcoin that you prefer and have high hopes to be valuable someday.

If you see the marketcap not all the altcoins are stay in same level so demand and supply is declare the market value. The current situation Bitcoin is growing well so many peoples are concentrate the BTC investment and some altcoins also rapidly growing in the market. This is the perfect time for day traders and long term investors, so altcoins also make good profit in all the time.

Aside from no real life use, investors lose their interest on altcoins due to the fake projects and the price keep going down because of the bearish market, also they don't get a lot of attraction even if they have a big development but instead of complaining and getting disappointed, why not take this chance to fill up your bags while they are still cheap.

Bitcoin is the top dog on the market and is also the first cryptocurrency. All other coins depend on Bitcoins success in order to thrive. When Bitcoin falls, you can be sure that alt coins will fall right along with it.
   Until a true successor to Bitcoin appears, I believe things are going to stay this way. On a positive note, if Bitcoin rises, you can expect the alts to rise as well. Seasoned investors use this to their advatage.
 Just my two cents!

Pardon me but Bitcoin made a lot of movement lately, you could see Bitcoin price went up from $7000 to $9000 in a few days and this is not stable at all.
Bitcoin fluctuated a lot this week, I see this as a reason why altcoin has not made any movement yet. We will see the action once Bitcoin move sideways but not right now, just wait a little bit we might see it in the near future.

the potential for each altcoin also varies when bitcoin prices go up, I think a lot of altcoins are affected too. although the increase is not as high as bitcoin, but it is worth noting. however, after 2017, the price of altcoin is falling bit by bit and it is difficult to experience a high increase (except for a few). You just need to find an altcoin that has that potential. like tron, qtum, and many other coins, you can check it on coinmarketcap by watching the price changes for 24 hours, and you will see the price of altcoin growing.

We cannot control the market if where the people would like to invest their hard earned money, if they wanted to invest in Bitcoin because it is trusted one and stable then we cannot force them. Altcoins has been very disappointing because of those scammers and because of the core team who doesn't care much about their investors.

My question exactly, tho I'm sure we'll never get an answer to it.  Op probably bought some awful coin ranked in the 1000's on coinmarketcap and it dropped to 1 sat after he did. 

Bitcoin isn't stable, by the way, and others have mentioned that fact already.  Alts generally follow what bitcon does, but not every coin and not all the time.  They're very unpredictable, but most of the time neither one is flat lined.  That's what makes the market so exciting, but you have to buy the *right* coins, not some cheap ones with no future.

You are absolutely right Bitcoin is in a very good position but all the other Altcoins are still on the lowest position and this situation is really bad for all investors specially for new investors.

There is an easy answer : nobody wants.
What affects prices: demand and supply and if the prices still do not change positively, then there is no demand. As it seems recently, there is demand just for BTC. 30-40% increase in price in a short time proves what I said.

The solution is pretty simple, why use something that is not good for you when there are other options for you to use, in short, why bother focusing on altcoins if you could focus on bitcoin only. We cannot expect a huge standards for altcoins to par with bitcoin, that is not going to work, they can imitate bitcoin's functionality but they can't duplicate its whole system, there is a secret on every things to remain unique, and Satoshi never expose them all.

Altcoin will not have the price of bitcoin because altcoin is mostly unclear, there is always a new future, there are also many dead ones, investors are now more focused on more stable coins, I myself don't believe altcoin is always a scamer that often happens then people will no longer migrate to altcoin.

  Alt-coins price is not a disappointment, just some people expected too much in the short period of time. I`m the one who invested in some
alt-coins in 2017, on their top, but you don`t see me crying about that.
   Alt-coins have a future, at least some of them! I`m not sure did I make a right choice with all of them, cause now I have many alt-coins
in my wallets. I don`t expect all of them to cost much more then they cost now, but I picked at least few good ones I will be happy.

altcoin price increases do not always depend on bitcoin price increases and vice versa, but I am curious about the altcoin that you are investing? it looks like you are very upset with the current altcoin price. try to stay calm let alone the market has started to improve including significant bitcoin prices. if you invest in altcoin i recommend with the top altcoin in markets like eth, eos or bnb. and if you like stable coins, maybe like usdc and usdt.

Altcoin's price isn't stable so we have to expect sudden changes all the time. It's important that we'll know all its risks so we'll never expect too much which could make us feel disappointed. It's hard to compare altcoins with the price of BTC because bitcoin has gained the trust of most investors and it has passed all the tests of time. It's reputable and has the greatest potential among any other cryptocurrencies.

I will give you an idea i think he invested in a token not in a coins so he really upset to see price and it always decrease day by day  and lost morethan 50% of what he invested.  ;D
If you are in a coin investors you will not so affraid about the price.

The answer is very simple, Bitcoin can rise very high because of the popularity it receives as the pioneer of the world's first cryptocurrency, and it can rise one day from the good news we hear about the legality and regulation of each country. While altcoin is mostly founded by a company, the price will rise based on the development of the company. The better they have succeeded in developing their technology, the value of their tokens will also increase. But the impact of the good news we hear about bitcoin should also have an impact on altcoin.

It is not like that. Just compare the market value of Bitcoin way back 2017 and see how huge is its downfall. It is just that its market price is way higher than most of the altcoins or simply, the gap is huge when it comes to their prices. The market situation is really frustrating especially for the investors. Holding is necessary but seeing how bad the prices get, is just disappointing. We just cannot do a thing about it rather than to just be patient and believe that this industry will overcome this.

Actually, we can't control the price on the market and I guess you already that cryptocurrency is very volatile where the price was change every second. As of now the movement of bitcoin become stable and it remains at the price of 9200$+ but still there is a chance that the price might go up or down. If you want stable price maybe you should invest in stable coin just like USDT.

That is the fact. Bitcoin still dominates the market. The booster that provides power is not strong enough to move both. Under these circumstances, of course, investors would prefer to secure their assets rather than risking it for an altcoin that is not yet too strong, doesn't the BTC also need to try hard to move up?

They generally don't follow the trend of bitcoin unlike most other newbies think. Altcoin markets tend to go under the radar once bitcoin hits that certain momentum and it just keeps going on and on, until such time that it loses steam and the attention would be divided within the different facets of the whole cryptocurrency markets. While of course there are some exceptions to this such as ETH and XRP, still the vast majority of altcoins are somewhat dull and lacking life whenever bitcoin goes up. Historical price charts will show you that.

With the exception of the top 20 coins on the market, some of these coins are just copy of existing coins in the market, and some of them are targeting an industry, but the industry is not supportive of their token, we have seen insurance token, medical token, entertainment token, when these industry can just use existing tokens in the market, I remember their is a token named football token but the football community do not know the existence of this token.

Are you an investor altcoin? Which coin that you hold so far?

This is the risky thing when you choose altcoin for your investment. Its price is not stable as bitcoin, even its price only tend to weaken at this year compared to bitcoin price who has been increased for almost $10.000  from the lowest price that ever be achieved.

At least this situation has showed up that the altcoin price is not depend on bitcoin which has been talking from some user. There is no guarantee when its price is decreasing a lot and you have a predict that the coin will be back to the same price before it decreased. Just choose bitcoin and choose it for long term investment, I'm sure you will get profit as you want.

The main reason for this is that the entire cryptocurrency market is easily prone to speculation. As you can see, the prices for altcoins are tied to the price of bitcoin, more precisely, are tied to the movement of the price of bitcoins. Although this should not be, because each altcoin is a separate project, with a sensible product and with a separate coin.
All should have relatively independent pricing. But unfortunately the whole market is tied to bitcoin and is subject to strong manipulation. Do not be disappointed, because if you invest in alternative coins now, then they have pretty nice prices. If you bought them when they were expensive, I can only sympathize with you and advise you to be patient.

not all the prices of altcoin are disappointing or maybe it's your own fault, I mean you are investing with junk tokens or altcoin that is difficult to develop. maybe you need to renew the altcoin investment or replace it with a better altcoin than before.

simple, because there is small people wanna buy altcoin. so altcoin is going to nowhere

it is not altcoins season so there is small coin can grow up in this time, maybe just few of them can grow up

we have to wait until altseason happens, i believe it would happen in the near future, at least altcoin is not down deeper everyday is good sign that altseason would begin

The altcoin price should follow bitcoin price, that is the reason. No matter if bitcoin price rise so high, the altcoin will behind bitcoin and adjust the price to the new high price too. Some altcoins can increase so high and for example, ethereum, which is in number 2 at the CMC.
The ethereum itself can increase high in the future, but still, ethereum will be a secondary altcoin, and that will be the same as the other coin.
I think the presence of altcoin is to help bitcoin to grow as the bitcoin is the leading coin at the cryptocurrency.

Altcoin is still very bad for now. When BTC prices get worse Altcoin gets worse. Altcoin and even BTC will not be stable, Crypto has a very high fluctuating value and is risky if you make an investment without calculation or analysis in advance. When Bitcoin is going up as it is today Altcoin's increase is only a few percent, not comparable to a decline of up to 90%. Bitcoin increase is needed even higher to make altcoin prices improve again and then there was Altcoin Session

Altcoin have not really been disappointing based on its current price reactions to the btc spikes, most crypto trading are tagged against USD, EUR or some other fiats, when you check the usd value of altcoin you will know they have not disappointed us but gained USD value regardless of the satoshi they are currently been traded unless those altcoins that actually crash down.

On the other hand, altcoin price will decline when btc price slides because it is quoted and traded against btc.

They can not have a stable price because they must react to the market movement either up or down.

Are you expecting an altcoin that just recently emerging to a bitcoin which crowned as the first crypto ever to be created that's just ridiculous. even bitcoin has a really huge community base and altcoins rarely have such a thing. altcoin only known as a tool for making profit while bitcoin has an actual means of being used as payment method unlike most of the altcoins. even hoping altcoin could have bitcoin's price or atleast stable is just a wishful thinking except those stablecoin. However there are plenty of altcoins that is trying to reach bitcoin price by shrinking its total supply to just few thousand and still failed miserably anyway.

Altcoin prices have been disappointing since 2018, why do you still hold them for a long time? do you expect there will be an altseason for the next period? lol that's ridiculous, because waiting for something uncertain and unpredictable. At first I was the same as you, waiting and hoping that there would be altseason for the next session. But I learned from one of the cryptocurrency platforms, they say "rather than holding it for a long time, it's better to short trade because the results are bigger and more efficient". I have proven it, so now it's your turn to change your mindset.

just look at the chart on CoinMarket buddy , dominance of BTC so strong , that mean people just liked BTC after.
and also , altcoins have low reputation , even ETH also.
reputation , liquidity , and of course what coin for, is a consideration for a price.

You have to accept this situation that altcoin sessions will stay for short time. Until altcoin sessions come, you should stay with Bitcoin. Always highest profits in the altcoins, just remember that top exchange listed coin. So this is the perfect time to invest altcoin.

No it's not, some of the altcoins are actually rising up like ONT, QTUM etc. You probably didn't explore enough to check them :)
When Bitcoin is going up, it doesn't mean Altcoin will doing the same too. It could be the opposite or even altcoin would just dump to the ground.

A lot of altcoins have a much lower overall trading volume than Bitcoin, which means a lot of these lower marketcap coins can be moved in terms of price with much less money than with something like Bitcoin. Bitcoin's also the most well-known crypto at the moment, which contributes to it being (somewhat) more stable than most alts, and most alts also have at least a weak correlation in price to Bitcoin's price, though events specific to an altcoin's development or other important details can also affect the pricing of an alt significantly.

Because they are two different market.  Aside from that, there are lots of altcoin that have no real life usage.  They are just good in paper and yet to develop their goal.  Not saying lots of altcoin had been labeled scam so many people are having a second thought entering the altcoin market.

It happens the same from the beginning. Now it is the time for bitcoin to increase in value and it will continue to increase and when the traders get enough profit from the trade of bitcoin they will turn to altcoins and will start trade altcoins then all of the altcoins will start to increase.

Beside this there are a number of high potential altcoins which run along the price of bitcoin and when the market is better the price of it also increases. You have to focus on those coins till the alt season.

Altcoins price is actually very good for investments but not in all of them and only in few of them who actually know what they're doing and they have an active dev team and a proper marketing to promote the project. I'm no longer waiting for the altcoin season and I simply let it happen whenever it will happen. If we simply complain daily about this at some point we will get impatient and we will sell at this low prices.

Its true that most of us expected a better year for altcoins but Bitcoin's dominance is not letting any open air for altcoins in order to rise again to at least summer prices. Personally I have small investments anytime I have money to spend in order to increase my portofolio.

To me, price gains is literally the only thing that's disappointing in most of them. I've been investing before the $1000 -> $300 BTC dump and altcoin price dumps are even more disappointing now. But the difference is that this time i know that the older projects are not going anywhere and i could make some actual money with them.

I also think like that that altcoin and bitcoin when the pump trends are not always the same because the function and the popularity level is better, as well as other things, there are many differences and the volume is different. plus there are some altcoin developers who commit fraud, as said by you and the fraud makes altcoin not much seen by people

This is because most altcoins are no longer having their most volume paired with Bitcoin. They have huge number of volume paired with stable coins which do not really have any significant impact on the altcoin's market value.  Ethereum, for instance, has about 70% of its volume paired with USDT. With this, a change in Bitcoin will not have any significant impact on the Ethereum market value.

That has been the case for more than a year now, people are not buying alts even if they are good with good projects . My opinion on this matter is that there is not enough money in these markets now , this is wy alts are going only down, people are not taking risks - not buying alts.

Many traders and investors believe we are yet to enter altcoins season, so in my view as well, I believe when we fully enter altcoins season, there will definitely be change and altcoins will pump massively

First, bitcoin has a level of dominance on altcoins, but it varies, depending on the form the growth is taking. There are times that when bitcoin is growing, altcoins might be plunging, except few and the reverse might be the case at some other time. There are also times that they will all be growing simultaneously, but bitcoin might be showing more.

Bitcoin has never been stable and the alt-coin price isn't really disappointing at all,
We just need to find the right alt-coin to buy and don't fall for those new project that have a huge potential to be a scam.

We all know that about your question on why some altcoins are very disappointing income of prices. Actually altcoins it can become a shitcoins if the developer of the altcoins are not interested more and down the volume. Sometime they listed in the unknown ecxchange that have small amout of price so we can tell that this altcoins are not have any future, I'm disappoint also because they are to many in my folio standby maybe i will remove if they become zero value.

disappointing ?
i think if you put your money in the right place, wich mean in a good altcoins
you can get an enough profit, because a lot of alts already touch its bottom, and now already doubled, even tripled from the bottom price my friend

I think only altcoin that has no potential will make you disappointed while altcoin which can potentially be expensive will never make you disappointed because altcoin like that will make you get a lot of profit, you should be able to find altcoin that really has the potential to be expensive.

They are buying it but some people are seeing the volatility as the main aspect to determine whether such altcoin is worth to buy or not. There was a lot of money even BAKKT has brought million dollars in a day.
People are still buying altcoin and what you are saying is not the same as the fact that already happened with CMC site a few days ago.
You must do an observation.

altcoin price is dissapointing to the one who wants to get rich fast
its not dissapointing the one who accumulates and holds ..
choose your investment plan wisely, its the best time to accumulate now
there will be maybe 1 or 2 more chances to make a huge profit , you have to get as many altcoins as you can

Investing in altcoins needs to be patient as this is a crypto market and there are a lot of big fluctuations happening everyday so if you have experience in investing then waiting is the best solution during this time. I always analyze this market based on the data at CMC because it is the site that tells us exactly what is happening with this market and if the market turns red, many investors will trend panic sell.

Now is the most difficult time for altcoin and if you have decided to make profits from altcoin then you should choose long-term investment or patience until the next stage. Of course altcoins usually only increase in price when there is good news regarding this market.

in this thread you have read many opinions why altcoin is dissapointing, you can know from the replied. i personnaly believe bcz not in altseason yet
i wanna spot in others view, i know it's hard for us and make so deppressed with this condition, but take it easy
just believe if the good thing would happen. we will se another altseason that will make altcoin better

It's because the crypto market lately monotonous, eveybody is doing daytrading to earn money and not having an investment for a long run.
Old investors are running away because there was a lot of scams happened in crypto, so i think we'll have to wait longer until the price recovering again

yep
we should choose long-term investment until the next stage, and if our investment goes down just keep buying a little more every salary so called dollar cost average.
thats the best thing to do according to few books i read
i recommend to read " a random walk down walstreet" it talks about markets in general and its really 100% true by my observation.

Are you losing your patience now? If you are, get out of the kitchen right now as this may not be the hottest it can get. Or if you are looking for the better option, shift to Bitcoin now. Bitcoin is expected to break the 4-digit price anytime from now. And we all know the possibility when this happens. The altcoins might suffer more. The red in the alts will become stronger as the green candles in Bitcoin's charts will grow longer and longer.

Simply because bitcoin is still the leader and not all altcoins can make a move when btc use to. There is a time for everything and we need to wait for its time considering its development and fundamentals of any particular altcoin. See how link stands in the bear market which is a clear sample of it.

altcoin is no potential? I thought you were mistaken. Bitcoin's technology is far behind the top alts now like ChainLink, Tezos, EOS, Ethereum and even XRP.
the alts did not grow much because the manipulation was concentrated only in Bitcoin. it makes the price volatile and therefore alts are discounted due to the high demand for bitcoin transactions.

I think this is the era of bitcoin and it is being sought by many people. You know, the halving event is about to take place next year and it's time for them to be able to buy bitcoins cheaply.
That is why the altcoins are slightly discounted despite working very well. we need to get better next year.

Yes, now it is a complete trend for the bitcoin which altcoin prices are kept decreasing in the market, even we follow technical analysis sometimes it is impossible to control the price of an altcoin. The price of an altcoin is kept decreasing once the price of bitcoin starts increasing or decreasing in the market.

I am not sure whether you used the coins you mentioned here and the billions of coins in circulation you still consider that these alt coins have much superior technology than bitcoin is bullshit.
You think that bitcoin is growing because of manipulation and you are waiting for these manipulation to happen in your shitcoin market so that it will rise, the reality is clear even in your thoughts, people does not care a shit about these shit coins to invest or manipulate the market and you think that someday you will see that  ::).

We as investors know that one of the risks in investing with crypto and altcoin is that its development cannot be ascertained because as investors we must be able to take advantage of every opportunity we will get in investing and now bitcoin is still a guideline of other cryptocurrencies

One answer i do know regarding to this which people who sell out their coins are staying up on stable coins or on cash.Where they didnt tend to switch to alts after they do make some profits on trading btc and since its on sideways they are just waiting for bottom and tries to re-enter again.Its doesnt always happen when you do see bitcoins price is stagnant and price of alts do rise and sometimes they do move on the same time or just opposing to each other.Disappointed? Get used to it because crypto investments can break your heart anytime.

There's no actual bull run in which the most alts will be lifted, the current event is being focused with bitcoin and if there's some alts it's not the majorities.
In order to survive with this kind of situations, better to make a deeper research and make sure that you do have long patience. Tough market to work with,
but with if you are well equipped and you are prepared enough to take the risk you'll not be disappointed but instead you will gained decent profits.

You cannot complain about the top altcoins in the market as they have a clear path, i am not expecting much development in ETH and other similar coins but the rest i am expecting some movement once the bitcoin market rallies but do not think that is the same with the token market, i will be surprised if any of the tokens will increase even during a rally.

It's a gradual process, at least recently a few altcoins went up in price like BCH really made my week for instance. What you just need to do is invest in the right altcoins (even though sometimes we lose, other times we win), then wait for an uptrend in future for those who are into long term hold. Do not just fill your portfolio with many altcoins, be selective and choose few with remarkable project and development progress. Well, we are humans and get worried when our holdings don't give profit just be patient.

Obviously the price of altcoins will surely go down when the bitcoin's valur is rising. People will sell their altcoins to have bitcoin since it has more potential to increase and that's why the price really plummet really hard.

And altcoins will pump up once again if bitcoin surely hit betweet the range of 19 - 20k they will follow up.

I think that technological development does not affect much in investment because if that coin is not of interest to everyone, it will certainly never increase. Every volatility of this market is very much dependent on Bitcoin and this trend has remained for the past 2 years so I cannot trust altcoins during this time. You can choose to invest to make a profit but will not be able to hold for long because the current market is still very risky.

Investment decisions need to be considered many times because most people make their own mistakes and not everyone can predict exactly what will happen next in this market.

Here's from what I've learned all this time about altcoins price, if Bitcoin price goes up, altcoins stays the same, but if bitcoin price drops then altcoins dropped even more.

Regardless, not every altcoins are like that. Still, if bitcoin hits a bull run, then altcoins might follows. News also took a great part on altcoins price.

how you can say like that ?
actually , most of altcoins now are dissapointment, we can see they have no resistance like btc. well probably most of investor think they just a hyip coins, even ETH.
and now HYIP era is over.
the next , ripple , even recently we have a surge bull run , XRP still cant climb up.
that really dissapoint.

many altcoins down makes people lose their money, that's why they are dissapinted.

so, how we know high price when altcoin is always deep and deeper? even altcoins already in bottom after 2018-2019 downtrend, those are  still deeper. it isnt easy as you said

The price cannot move on with higher value due to bearish market that's been taking for so many months. Bitcoin has been experiencing a huge price declination several weeks ago, but never lose chance to increase at profitable price. Since btc has been trying to fix some bugs and underlying problems, in order that certain issues will be raised accordingly with strong marketing approach towards every client.

Why are you disappointed in altcoin price? did you bought some altcoins in the highest price? you are not the only one who disappointed in this condition in the market, just keep hold the price will increase, unless if you hold a shit coins then that is disappointing.

That would be a problem if he holds a bag of shitcoins. But he will not be the first one with a bag full with wrong coins, many people get disappointed after bad investment. Holding good coins is alright, they bounce back eventually, bitcoin will bounce back to previous ath and more, but some shitcoins can just go deeper, there`s no bouncing back for many of them.
Many are disappointed, but some are making money on this fluctuations, at least they are good for something.

I think he has invested in the wrong altcoin and  causing disappointment for him, in investing of course we must be prepared to bear every possibility that will occur, in investing of course we must have the right strategy before we invest the money we have in the market.
My suggestion is better if we analyze each price movement and see how the prospect of altcoin is before we decide to invest in it.

I don't know which of the altcoin are you refering to is it ETH, LTC or BCH or XRP these coins pumped with bitcoin their movement correlates with that of bitcoin maybe the OP is referring to shit coins whose projects are not well defined as far as altcoins is concerned these are the major ones that worth investing in else investing in an unknown and with little potential coin is very risky.

As always, already for several years, altcoins cannot provide the same growth as they did back in 2017. On the contrary, BTC is doing really great and I believe it is happening because of the BTC dominance, that exceeds 70 percent.

To be very honest, I am confused whether this idea is funny or stupid. Something that has been here for just few days taking place of bitcoin is more like a tasteless joke. I also believe rather understand that the whole digital market is nothing without bitcoin. Bitcoin is the backbone of all crypto currencies. Altcoins can and should improve with time but this does not mean they can be as good as the king.

only few altcoin that could make good growth while bitcoin dominate in cryptocurrency market.current moment really different with 2017,where is hype in crypto very high.everyone interested and  thinking they  could be rich man in only short time.because of that there are much fresh money come here and market  capitalization reach all time record till could not repeated now.

if you don't have enough patience,
i think crypto market is not for you my friend
because in crypto world we need a lot of patience,,
just wait, but if you hodl a good altcoin

The easiest way to justify that - is by saying this is not a good year for altcoins as the market favors bitcoin more. Bitcoin is currently dominating over 67% of the entire cryptocurrency market capitalization, the entire altcoins market is left with less 34% of the market dominance.

You're only disappointed because you have high expectations, mostly in the short term. The entire market's not been doing good in general for majority of this year and last year but it's improving. Look a little bit forward. Each of these coins will have their time. I bought TRX when everybody thought it was shit already ar 135 sats but now I'm already in profit. That's just how the market goes.

Mostly because altcoin for now only something that people use to do trading. It really need updates from it's developer especially it only happen to new tokens in market to get pumped. In other side, people who bought in cheaper price wait to dump their coins once it get increased. And it keep always like that, so for altcoin need something that really can give big affect to increased. Not like bitcoin which already get demands from people.

Whatever the coin comes all those coins are considered as altcoins only none will stay with different name. They will consider as group and single coin called bitcoin. Then price and volume wise also Bitcoin is far higher than alts.
So Bitcoin will always ahead but others can stay at next ranks.

don't equate altoins prices with bitcoin. As Bitcoin already knows is major, the center of all altcoin movements, especially the old altcoin which is still a fraction of the bitcoin algorithm. And not all altcoins let the price down, and I always believe that every altcoin has the opportunity and time to go up or down, you know it's only a matter of time (long and short).
If we are good at reading the market situation, we can already take an example of prices from time to time. So to anticipate the disappointment of buying when it is expensive and now the price is down, always to divide your trading capital into several parts, not 100% fixated on just one altcoin. And also to always update (oversee exchangers are not enough just one, 4-6 exchangers can be used as a price comparison material), news updates are also related to altcoin that we are working on.

maybe because altcoin traders don't have any interest anymore. why no interest? because prices continue to fall. make altcoin traders leave one by one. other than that there is no latest update of altcoin that they hold. on the other hand too many altcoins that don't have quality projects on the market. so traders are divided. and most of altcoin is only for making FUD pumps and dumps.

Many people are disappointed with the performance of altcoins, maybe in a few months the price of altcoins has not improved. Therefore
investors prefer bitcoin whose performance is much better than altcoins. Not to mention that for 2019 there are many projects a scam
that increasingly makes altcoins abandoned by its investors. In my opinion even though the altcoins are quite heavy right now, we are not
may be discouraged. Must remain confident the alt season is coming soon, according to my predictions by the end of 2020 altcoins can rise
to the highest price. For now, just hold the altcoins you have.

What do you mean by priced where bitcoin stabled?altcoins are doing good while bitcoin do the same,I don’t know what you mean here?

And altcoins always rely on the. Movements of bitcoin so with this altcoin must need to wait while the number currency is stabling

I hate seeing people delivering words like this ,because the market is moving good and altcoins doing great as well we!!were just being to demanding

The number factor that traders will look into a certain altcoin is its trading volume, without a decent volume, they would not touch it.
Altcoins now are still in its bearish mode, it can't get past to that situation for almost 2 years already, and I believe this pattern will only change if BTC will start its bull run.

they don't connect in terms of price, whenever Bitcoin is rising up it doesn't mean altcoin would do the same. It's more about demand and supply also news happening around of those altcoins are involved yet I think Bitcoin is going pretty good this week, just look at coinmarketcap especially this week.

Not only you because most of people complaining why altcoins price not getting better even some of them says this year isn't altcoins season because the price seems stuck and seems people has too concern to see and trade for bitcoin that if there was small pumped for bitcoin then the volume support for bitcoin too will increase but inversely proportional to it altcoins market support will most likely showing downtrend and hard to pumped and it was happened repeatable in this year

good point, i agree with this opinion.
many big altcoins are falling like ETH, ADA, TRX, BCH, XLM, EOS. they dont have any interest from traders or investors
there is a few of altcoins can grow like LINK. but it's very hard to find good coins when many coins are falling.

the trend regarding altcoin is mostly decreasing. when viewed since 2017, crypto prices are indeed increasingly declining, but that is due to the number of scammers, and negative information in 2018.

altcoin prices are declining slowly, and that is likely to be the cause of many people who are disappointed with an altcoin. however, I think they need to think that quite a lot of things are affecting the fall in altcoin prices. if this is indeed the reason, then the recovery in the price of altcoin will again bring in investors. I will wait for that.

however, I am also a little disappointed because I have been waiting for a big recovery for so long since the beginning of 2019. Because of this, people have re-invested in bitcoin.

several times the movement of the market will certainly be different. but looking at the movement of bitcoin and altcoin at this time we can see if both have fairly equal and stable market movements. There is no trade domination of any of the assets like bitcoin domination that ever happened which made the growth of altcoin very difficult.

Altcoins have never been in the same place, and has never been stable, if they were even stable, it would have been good, but most altcoins have been declining strongly ever since the bear market struck and I don’t see some of them surviving again, so it is better that you just forget some of those coins called altcoins and just continue to make your investment in bitcoin.

Bitcoin still have a very bright future and a very long way to go with development, it is still the only stable project that I know for now even if the volatility of it is disturbing lots of people, but as adoption rate grows, I believe that bitcoin will gradually be increasing drastically while altcoins may still have to deal with the less interest that people have in  them now.

sometimes history repeat itself, even when those are different but same of rhyme.

no, i agree with OP. bitcoin is growing but altcoins doesnt.

yes bitcoin has too big market dominance, so it makes altcoin is hard to growth. but dont worry, in the next altseason market dominance would be re-adjust

disappoiting for you
but no disappointing for people who keep accumulating for this wonderful prices :)

Volatility of this market always makes investors at risk, so we will not be able to predict. I think altcoin is the most dangerous investment in this period because the value of altcoins currently depends heavily on Bitcoin so if Bitcoin does not increase, altcoin will continue the downtrend during this time. Anyone would like the altcoin season to come but maybe we will have to wait at least another 3 years so be careful and don't use the entire assets to invest.

Prices are not always in up direction, they can go down and down before making an upward move. I suggest do not get disappointed with alt coins rather start adding your favourite coins in your portfolio.

disappointment will always be there when you only expect high values all the time, the crypto market has fluctuations that at least it will be difficult if you only expect stable coins. so we don't need to expect the market to continue to be positive because trends in each period will always change and you just need to be patient to deal with situations that occur from ups and downs in prices

that's a correct statement. when you are disappointed with the price of altcoin, it is better to save bitcoin than the altcoin. the thing I see most often is, bitcoin always affects the price of altcoin, but altcoin does not affect the price of bitcoin. so, it is very reasonable to see bitcoin prices go up, but altcoin prices go down or even stay.
although like that, I still keep some altcoins that I think the price will reach a high price in 2020, like ethereum. Well, if you're really disappointed, holding bitcoin is a very good thing.

The thing is, as more people put more money into Bitcoin, they're also putting more money into the crypto market cap as a whole. Some of this money will go toward other altcoins and not all to just Bitcoin. If you increase the crypto market cap as a whole, then you're more than likely going to increase the price of everything in it. This is why altcoins tend to rally with Bitcoin.

most disappointment problems occur because of that because I have experienced it, and therefore I learned to get enough profit. as long as you pursue high profits you will be stuck in FOMO and this should not happen to you

Now that the market is going down again there are basically two strategies that you can apply, for those that like to hold their coins for the long term this could be the opportunity to buy many good altcoins for a very good price, however this is only a good option for those that have what it is necessary to keep holding their coins no matter what, the second option is to wait and see if the market of altcoins begins to recover somewhat, that way you could make some money with the recovery that is bound to happen.

Honestly when the market prices are low we should also be happy about it because we can have the opportunity to buy more altcoins so that we can hold it for long term and have profit when bull run came and indeed we should not expect prices of altcoins to be stable, it prices is very volatile, changes in a very fast pace. So also be wise in choosing which altcoin you will invest.

yes, it might be fun for those who want to buy altcoin at low prices, and in large quantities. but I think it's quite painful for those who have held Altcoin for a long time, and that person including me  :'(
however, I am not very disappointed with the prices achieved so far, because I am pretty sure that the price of the altcoin will rise again. I agree with what you say, this can be a moment to buy assets for those who buy them too late at cheap prices. I think, if the price of bitcoin goes back to the price of $ 9000 or $ 10,000, then the price of altcoin will go up again, and that is the moment that I have been waiting for.

When the upward trend starts on the cryptocurrency market, certainly many coins will reach the new ATH, but there will also be many altcoins that will never rise again.
A lot depends on what developers are doing at the time of the recession. Because they should now work on improving, and when the price will skyrocketing drink champagne. Unfortunately, but those who do nothing now can be very disappointed when bull run will come.

Because of the huge BTC dominance. Investors see that the altcoins are not moving at all, while BTC is raising in price, so they are selling their altcoins and putting money into BTC to improve their portfolio value.

Stability in crypto is a relative concept. In general the bigger the coin, the more resistant it is to abrupt price fluctuations. You see many micro-cap alts with low volumes, and these often fluctuate a huge amount, 100% in a day is by no means unheard of. You won't get this with high cap alts, because they have more volume and are more stable - but the high cap alts still have lower volume relative to bitcoin - which is why ETH, XRP and so on fluctuate more than bitcoin does.

All relative, and related to trading volume. Crypto is still quite a niche market. As it matures, the volatility (for high cap stuff at least) will reduce.

I think you should revise your portfolio right now. I'm pretty sure there are still a lot of good coins in the market and when the green market comes, we can dump the coins and become rich again. It's going to be boring if the market just goes green and does not give you a chance to invest, am i right? Just look for cheap coins or if ever there are expensive coins that go lower but has the capability to grow in the future, buy them.

Bitcoin has never once been stable since it's inception. Just this year, Bitcoin has went up in value from below $4k to currently over $7200 and even touching $10k at one point. This is just how the market works. There will always be volatility. I've not really been playing too close attention to all of the altcoins, but I bought TRX a few months ago and am doing pretty well on that. So, not all altcoins are dying.

Crypto market is so small in size that big players can easily move prices up or down. This will change once it gets to trillions in size in  some years. Until then, high price volatility is going to be there.

in this i agree on you since altcoin is showing not that good and that's why other investors are having hard time to decide.
you have posted and say this?when the market is in bear market and the price of bitcoin is in bad shape?
lol not in this point,there is no reason why investors will transfer their money into Bitcoin when the truth is they are withdrawing money and having second thoughts .

The alts are now unsure to buy because Bitcoin Dominance is still high and we should not go against the crowd psychology. so I will still hold bitcoin until the halving event takes place. I believe this halving event will lead to a sharp increase in bitcoin and it could break the old $ 14k4 mark and create another strong bullish trend for 2021.

This market trend really hurting the price of alts, investors mentality still focus with bitcoin dominance most are trying to short or to quit away from alts and hold bitcoin instead. We do need to make a deeper research if we wanted to continue investing with any alts, there's no clear view if what we will expect in the next few months or years. The important thing is you are willing and you are ready to face the consequences.

check the market now and maybe you will change this into Bitcoin and Altcoin price is disappointing ?lol market is volatile so expect more of this movement.
yeah sometimes it is frustrating but dont forget that the wheels are round ,not all the time altcoin will fall because at some time this will grow also.

To be at the safe side invest in bitcoin, bitcoin has the potential to give you good profit in short term. Not all altcoin has the capability to deliver the desirable result needed from them. Acquire much altcoin due to is cheap, always end up regretting your action cos you'll wait a whole lot years to see a movement of price that will always question your patience

Agree, even though the price of altcoin really goes down and makes us feel quite disappointed when we have too much expectations and hope for a bright altcoin season but the market has reflected an opposite trend, however, you are right that we should understand the circle of the market, go down then go up and vice versa. Altcoin cannot determine its own trend, it depends on the price of bitcoin and the general psychology of everyone, and the price of bitcoin is controlled by a group of people, so altcoins don't let us down, it's just that others want us to be disappointed and lose opportunities

altcoin price is not only giving me disappointment but also it makes.me.weak, cause everytime i see my altcoins all of them are in red color. Hopefully btc and altcoins can recover before christmas.

This period is very suitable for everyone to invest because most of the coins that I know are very cheap and it is best to choose only the top 20 coins available at CMC. The bear market is still troubling many investors but I believe this period will soon end and usher in another era of crypto. Of course, need to wait at least another 5 years and everything is still very much dependent on this market.

Personally, I would choose to invest now because this may be the last chance to buy cheap. In fact, many people predict that 2020 will be the best time for the crypto market to grow.

Altcoin price keeps disappointing because due to one or two or more reasons. Some of the reasons I figured out could be:

1. Crypto space generally hasn't been stable in the past few months. Due to cryptocurrency regulations/ban in some countries.

2. Another reason why these altcoins price keeps disappointing is the fact that  fake and scammy projects are now more than potential projects with real use cases.

Hence, when these projects enters the market the prices becomes lower than the token sale price. Don't expect fortunes in your altcoins investments so you don't keep getting disappointed.

We cant say how long are we going to wait for alts bull run but during this time we have to be firm to hold and have lots of patience to avoid selling our coins. Its not easy to endure seeing our coins losing its value slowly but if you know you're holding a good coins then ignore the current price and look forward for bull run. No one knows when it will happen it might take months or years but as long as you're not selling then there's a chance to gain once the bull run occur.

indeed there is no clear time to wait for the bull run to arrive. for that, I started it all in a daily trade now. no longer waiting for long-term investment because the market movement situation is not in the long pump as has already happened and much-awaited. we must look at the market reality that daily trading is indeed more profitable than investments with unclear profits.

Well for me its because altcoins is too different in terms of use and not all of altcoins are really worth the money to invest in most of them are shitcoins as they called. Another thing is people are afraid to invest when bitcoin is at the bottom because they don't know wether it will rise or not amd so the altcoins will be much affected on it.

People trend to choose Bitcoin more during this time and I think the investment is still very good if you choose long-term investment. I always spend more than half of my assets investing in this coin and currently the value of Bitcoin is very cheap so I will consider buying more in the near future. I think Bitcoin will soon reach $10,000 by the end of this year and will increase slowly until it reaches $20,000.

Altcoin is always hampered by changes in the price of bitcoin, altcoin season should be able to happen for now but it always fails. I am not disappointed with altcoin at this time

Many people say that altcoins will not survive or they keep on falling etc.. My opinion is that you should carefully choose alts that you think will have a bright future and build yourself a portfolio now as they are cheap.

If we're holding altcoins that has smaller value right now, don't ever lose hope. There's always a good chance for an alt to reach a higher value once another pattern will come back same with previous bullrun year. As long as your coins develop an increasing market demand, there's always a potential to become profitable.

If all investors decide to sell the altcoins in the bear market, the market demand should be the reason why the downtrend continues further. Potential altcoins still have the chance to go higher in the next Bullrun but the different altcoins will have various ROI like in the last bull market. I don't aim to sell my altcoin portfolio if the ATH prices are crossed in the bull market.

Why is altcoin still disappointing? Because altcoin is not functioning much and even many of them have no potential until now. Bitcoin prices have started to increase even though altcoin prices will follow it, for me not all altcoins make us disappointed there are some altcoins that have the potential to always follow the movements of bitcoin. Differences like this is what you want to do ??

there is always a disappointment in investing in crypto which has volatility that is very fast-changing. In October, the price of altcoin was not so low, and now the price is getting lower because of the falling price of bitcoin. I feel that people will be more disappointed now. but, they still hold the altcoin in the hope that prices will get better.
in this case, people have 2 choices

• sell if you don't want to be disappointed deeper and
• hold it until the price recovers

however, I prefer not to complain and focus on my goal to continue to accumulate assets. I see this fall in prices as an opportunity for investors to have many assets.

Altcoins are still unable to raise prices independently and depend on the value of Bitcoin so this investment will often be very risky during this period. I think the current good altcoin will still not help much in the investment because the downtrend is still making the situation worse and the anxiety of investors is the main reason that the market collapses. I would choose to wait instead of invest because big risk and it is possible for huge losses if not careful.

Of course, many investors will spend more than half of their assets investing because this is a very cheap price to make a profit.

since when crypto space generally stable?
I never find that. crypto is still volatile from it is started until now.

This is more make sense for me, many shit projects make investors affraid to invest
the effect, it makes most of altcoin decrease

That is what happens to the altcoin market. When bitcoin down, altcoin follows to get down too. But some altcoin will have time to increase, although it is difficult. If you can select the altcoin which doesn't always follow to bitcoin, then you could still make a profit. When you check the market, the altcoins are trying to rise, use the opportunity from the down of bitcoin price. So you can hope that your coin can increase and give you the profit. You can wait for more if you want to buy the altcoin or you can buy more this time.

it is okay market just went down

altcoins dude does not disappoint. we are the ones who dream too much about them. That's why we were dreaming for them. Now we're sorry they weren't what we imagined. Altcoins are still not enough. now we must accept and make our investments accordingly.

because now all capitalization seems to be focusing on bitcoin or margin or future contracts bitcoin. The daily volume of these exchanges is getting bigger and seems to account for over 15% of daily trading volume for the crypto market. This is a bad sign that people only want to make money when the market downtrend and no longer want to invest in alts. But do not worry, when the downtrend ends, the market will start a new uptrend and the alts will be pumped the strongest.

for now not only altcoins are disappointing because even the price of bitcoin is also very disappointing, even though the price is still at a reasonable stage with the decline happening, but about prices that are unable to rise higher as predicted, then of course this situation is very disappointing and i'm not sure recovery will happen anytime soon

There is disappointment for those who had invest earlier from this point . But those who were far from altcoin's market since last 2 months, they can take advantage to invest and hold, find some faultless projects to invest and profit can be take place in next couple of weeks.

Thanks
 

Well investing in crypto particularly in altcoins are risky and cant promise us to have a high return or sure money. This is the consequences of expecting too much with our investment, disappointment and headaches if what we expect didnt happen.

Its better to not think about the current movement of altcoins and focus on other things to prevent ourselves thinking negative thoughts.

Maybe those who bought altcoins in January 2018 they are very disappointed.it really sad that they bought it in ATH. But nothing to do. Altcoins trying to survive from mid 2018 to now.but I have enough hope that atl will give us good return.          

Even on the main crpyto which is bitcoin cant really give out guarantees when we do talk about success and it isnt an exception when we do talk
about disappointment.Overall crypto iinvestment would really disappoint you if you dont know how to spot out the best price to get in and get out for
profits.The thing here is that you do know the risk involved when you decide to invest your money,you should prepare yourself into these kind of
experiences and stress on dealing with unpredictable movements.

You should keep in mind that no crypto is really stable. Some may look stable but there are still changes in the price occuring, it's just the increase or decrease is not that big. Make your own view about altcoins but make sure you have supporting evidence that it is indeed always disappointing. You should learn more about the altcoin season first before making a statement about it. A lot of things could happen in the market each and every day of our lives so let us be smart and strategic with our investments regardless if it is bitcoin or altcoins.

what about stable coins  ? i believe that they are the real stable coin and thier name say's it all  . other coins that are semi stable are alts like eth and wave's  .

huh ? i didnt exactly on what is your point . tho i understand your first few words  . having an own view is indeed good and that shows that you are independent and safe from being fooled  . you cant get dissapointed if you were aware on the alts that your goin to pick up 

People bought the altcoin at the higher prices and it is impossible for us to predict them at the current level because with this Bitcoin fluctuation it is impossible for the holder to sell them at the cheapest price and it will make them lose value.

Are you asking why altcoins are not as stable as bitcoin?  For one because most of them are straight garbage and whatever value they do have is way to high on the the exchanges.  And second because of volumes and different people/groups that target these coins to pump and dump to make more bitcoin which causes the volitility

You're wrong buddy cause it not all altcoin that are garbage and the reason why bitcoin market is experiencing pump/stable price is because of the upcoming bitcoin halving but the decision of arbitrage traders usually determine the altcoin and bitcoin market trend.

This is something that no one wants when investing and altcoins are not good for everyone's current profits. I think it will take a long time for the altcoin season to return because the current investment demand is still very low and a lot of investors have been leaving this market for the past 2 years making the situation worse. However, there is still hope and everything will be decided in 2020.

I am not wrong I didnt say all I said most.  Most being the majority, with the thousands if not 10s of thousands of coins made you can objectively say that most are not garbage?  If so then the saying "a fool and his money will soon part" will be coming to a theater near you soon.  And bitcoin is experiencing a pump because of halving coming soon...what is this pump you talk of  ::)

If the altcoin market was full of great projects then I will agree with you, it will be completely disappointing that investors do not take the time to get to know those new altcoins that could be their opportunity to earn a lot of money but that is not what is happening in this market and we all know it, investors do not really care about altcoins anymore because they are terrible and when you take that into account then it is completely natural that most of the volume is concentrated on bitcoin.

No one can predict the price of altcoin so if you invested in an altcoin you agreed to whatever risk it will cause you. Thats why better to do a research before investing into altcoins.

As always been reminded by everyone. I think it's still not enough to tell the disappointed people about the market motion whether we tell them this for how many times. There would always be people complaining, why is this, why is that. Maybe the question has a double meaning, stability for the price and the stability of altcoins in the whole aspect and stand of it in the market.

because right now if you think about the amount of altcoin is very diverse, altcoin has a lot of prices and other types. so I think now it will be difficult to place altcoin in a price position that can be accepted by stable coins. because altcoin is easy to experience price changes

Stable coins are part of the altcoins, sorry, but I don't get your explanation, please expound it more please.
The price of altcoins now in general is very disappointing because they are the biggest losers thus far, compared to BTC which only drop like 60-70% from its ATH, however some altcoins dropped a lot, and I don't have to put the figure, you can check the market and check on individual's graph, you'll see how big they dropped.

The price of altcoin is disappointing for some people who only make it an asset. but it will be different for those who trade. maybe altcoin prices are getting cheaper will make their assets continue to grow and when the bull run occurs they already have more altcoin than before.

just calm down the big traders or the so-called whales will definitely pump up the top 100 coins,
I'm sure of that, because if they buy it with bitcoin the price is now very cheap, it's like the previous year, but we can't predict when it will happen

To be honest, altcoin no longer has potential in the market anymore because of the restraint of big brother BTC.  Ever since the Bakk incident made me remove altcoins from my portfolio.  Currently, I only focus on BTC and exploit this potential coin.

actually altcoin still has potential but not much, if you invest better don't focus on just one coin, choose a few more to add to the most important portfolio don't too much too. if you invest all your funds in one coin I think is less than the maximum for income, but all that is your choice back

it could happen but we have to wait for the bitcoin pump first, maybe for a very difficult time to predict but if btc can pump even higher then altcoin can follow the price. I hope this can really be repeated again

What makes you think the top 100 coins will all get pumped.  If it was an assurity then you would assume everyone would be piling all their bits into it.  There is a reason people havent yet, because it's not a guarantee.

Many people choose not to invest in this market because they see daily news involving various altcoin scams and this directly affects the price and stability of altcoins.

Nothing different there, it's been that way for years.  People arent putting money in because they are scared to buy when things are absolute low (see: 2015) but have no problem putting money in when things are exploding (see: end of 2017).  The ol buy high sell low.  Best losing strategy going  :D

because dominance of btc is take over of all market , that why altcoins can stable as a bitcoin.

People are very vulnerable when bad news comes out, which makes it difficult for investors to choose altcoins because the risks are often unexpected. I think in this period, investors need to have a specific plan and spend a lot of time to analyze before making a final decision. In my opinion, you should only invest altcoin when the market starts to get better because it is a very good opportunity for you to make a profit.

Of course, it is not always easy because if your psychology is not good, you will not be able to make any money when buy altcoin.

indeed the impact of the movement of bitcoin has a huge influence on the altcoin market. but unfortunately, now the bitcoin movement sometimes can't move altcoin. some altcoins can make their pumps even though bitcoin is stable, that is because altcoins are making an increase in their demand and it is very effective if there is an update on the market.

This is why I hate turning on the news and seeing "Bitcoin hits new all time high, up 3000%". I know it will bring new people into the market, some of which have never even heard of Bittcoin before it was on the news, but I also I know that they will end up losing money on this deal. They seem to think the price is only linear and only goes upwards. It doesn't. Then, when we get lows like last year, they all lose out.

The media propaganda works perfectly, they show the small investors how to buy in the bull market and how to sell in the bear market. I remember the XRP price exploit days when CNN showed the options for buying the XRP and they started to spread FUD during the downtrend. The new people come to the crypto industry with big hopes and they tend to make new investments after they lose each time. The long story but the psychological tricks force them to repeat it.   

I would be also very suspicious about new investment if every day there were news about exchange hacking, scam projects and failed IEOs that did not even manage to collect their soft cap. Market conditions are too bad at the moment.

Yes its too dissapointing when you see your alts in red color for almost a year. Thats the painful part when investing into alts ,you must accept all the risk.  If only i can chnage the price of my alts to get x1000 i will do , sell them all then get out on this crypto world for good.

From my own impression, the altcoins market price are good cause bitcoin also experienced the current downtrend momentum and the decision of the bitcoin market is what usually determine what will happen in the altcoin market when halving is coming. Mind you, the only thing that's disappointing is choose a wrong or centralized coin.

Basically, Alts can maintain its price because of bitcoin, if bitcoin has gone down, then Alts will follow it. plus now there are many bad rumors about IEO investments, many scam projects everywhere, this is also increasingly affecting the prices of all alts, it is not surprising that altcoin prices are getting disappointing. getting worse when conditions like this. only altcoin in top 5 at CMC isn't too disappointing.

If you can not handle other altcoins its normal for you to invest in bitcoin or ethereum other altcoins are hard to predict prices if the price of bitcoin is almost dropping and it will cause other altcoins.

The whales are going to definitely pump the market once again, that is inevitable, if we were in their position to abuse our power we will most likely do the same that they are doing, however I have grave doubts that the top 100 coins are going to gain a lot of value during the next months or years, it is not rare for a coin to be in the top 100 and then disappear, that is why I am concentrating myself only in two coins bitcoin which is the best coin and ethereum which is the best altcoin.

There's a domino effect if bitcoin is stumbling, this would affect the other altcoins and that's a very known character of btc. The price are disappointing if most of your portfolio lies on altcoins and you don't prepare on this situation because you have invested into altcoins.
But while you're giving them a reminder to invest on bitcoin, I doubt it that they'll listen to it if they are currently in loss.

nothing is really stable because prices will continue to move even though it is still in the same range, but with fluctuations that continue to happen at least it is a advantage for traders who basically will always buy and sell. so i guess nothing is really disappointing as long as the coins in the crypto market have their own value

Bull run will come sooner or later but unfortunately not all altcoins will rebuild their price. Those altcoins whose developers are active have a good chance of returning to the previous level. However, many of them have lost all investor confidence due to lack of development. Unfortunately, but there are a lot of such projects and unfortunately they will stay at the bottom.

well it depends on what angle you are looking
in my opinion altcoin prices are not disappointing because they are cheap and people can afford to buy a good amount with every salary and accumulate
before the prices start to go up again (hopefully)

everything depends on the point of view !

Altcoins have been in a severe bear market that has destroyed the faith of most investors, particularly the ones who invested in the last two years. But next bull market will be back soon and should be bigger.

so only if the bitcoin is stable for a while not all altcoins have to take part.
i would generally prefer it if the topic money - price - chart was not so present all the time.
many outsiders only look at charts and treat crypto projects like raw materials.
the suitability for everyday use and adaptation is much too neglected.
just like the technology behind it. no one is interested in it as long as the profit is right. and if that's not the case, the moaning is big.

It is after all a cycle of happiness and sadness. The following is an all-too-familiar emotions running in the Bitcointalk forum.

https://i.imgur.com/6zMeMD6.jpg

I think we are in step 14 with some remnants of 10, 11, and 13.

We have several thousand altcoins and tokens on the market right now. This scenario will only be possible for some of them. The developers of many altcoins and projects based on ICO, unfortunately, do nothing and the interest of investors will not help them. I think that in the next bull run will recover prices of around 30% of the altcoins and tokens.

Do you think that we are on that number? I dont think so. Actually we can point out on what portion are we now because if we do base up on current price we arent heading on possible rise up.

As said theres no assurance and guaranteed that we are heading for the next rise up.Its unpredictable neither it can happen tomorrow or on next year to come.Price can really disappoint you if you do hold
up some bags and even on Bitcoin which isnt on exclusion.

Because people doubtful alt will rise for now, maybe the cause of many icos failed so that people hesitate to invest in Alt, and choose Bitcoin as a safe alternative.Market has not always predicted.

That's what I am seeing why altcoins are not rising and continue to struggle, they are all basing on the performance of btc, if bitcoin is bullish then maybe they'll slowing touching altcoins but its not happening, yes BTC rise 30% as a huge pump but where are we now, we are back to a low price, if btc continue to stay and $10k an rise this month then we might be seeing altcoins following the rise, so no other option but just to be patient and wait.

Somehow its not like the whole Altcoin price drop

Look at these few months
LEND
ENJ
KNC
MATIC
BAT
LINK

All these are great performer and i believe in long run their value can goes high
So its not disappoint if you pick the right one!

With continues drops in value most investors are looking for much valuable investment and it's been proven that bitcoin gives some breathing for your money. The value keeps on surviving and provide good benefits instead of trying to work with alts where most of the time disappoints your position.
You need to work harder if you like to take the risk investing with alts, there's a lots of home works to be done before getting good value.

BTC Dominance:  66,8% right now.
fresh money needs to enter the market.
otherwise the market will continue to creep.
total market 800,000,000,000 usd.
If btc dominance is 40%.
The bottom altcoins then come alive.:)

i dont understand why is altcoin price disappointing?

it has 2 clear advantages:
1) you can buy a lot for cheap or dollar cost average, so when its back to the price you invested first, you already earned..
2) its easier to pump and make x10 - and thats what we should do.. make x10 and sell  then wait for a new investment opportunity

So much emotions and a lot of faint hearted investors are in this industry. Considerably emotions really deep down the prices, investment requires a lot of patience and understanding its not a one hit jackpot that most entrants consider. Billionaires and millionaires made their fortune in years or decades it should set an example.

Emotions may lead to huge losses due for some different reasons behind on it. Being part here is just try our luck in which we can't predict those coins that we have as we just hoping on its value in which will also relying the different demands of each coins. The best thing we could do on our holding coin is to wait to pump and to gain a huge profit in the future.

But the problem is, altcoins keep dip and dipper. it is not good idea if we buy in this time
even if you buy with DCA, it may reduce the risk. But there is still the risk if the price keep dipping

I prefer to wait obvious bull sign and start buying. IDC wheter get higher price, but i can get fast profit from that
I dont have to see any coins dump like this time.

Every single time that I see images like that I cannot help but chuckle a little bit because it is so true, and you can see this especially in the speculation forum where people are making all kind of predictions about what they expect from the price of bitcoin, however when we take into account the most popular opinions that we hear in the forum I think we are a lot closer to the 7, 8 or 9 step in your graphic because I still see a lot of people that are very positive about the market outlook.

Now yes altcoins price dissapoint most of people, i think we still need more patience and next year we maybe see a bull run and a new ATH for all altcoins which have a usage, and are not just with name on crypto market.

You still see positive? This forum, this place used to be very lively back in 2016 to 2017, especially fourth quarter 2017. Bitcointalk user participation has gone down so bad that it is even worse than the bear markets of 2015. Trust me I was there. Back then, the last people on the forum are GPU miners searching for the next scrypt coin to mine. Now, nothing except signature campaigners.

It is dissapointing and it's going to bo till btc moves its ass. Altcoins won't rise till next btc bullrun at least that's my prediction...

The right thing to do because there is no way we can cut loss at a reasonable price now, we hit the bottom already and it's not wise to sell at the bottom, we should have done that a year before.

The market is disappointing but it is how it is, this isn't the first time that we see this kind of market struggle, even in the past it happened and we know what the successful did that time, they hold and put more patience in investing.

altcoin may be based more on bitcoin prices, maybe what you say has a point but it must be more specific to the problem of price comparison. unfortunately altcoin cannot be separated from bitcoin for the price issue, so we have to wait for the bitcoin pump first

What bull sign are you waiting for exactly? You're telling me you haven't done any trading at all in a couple of years now? Look, Bitcoins price is up over 100% just this year. There's plenty of volatility you could have been trading on throughout this whole year. You want fast profits? Then you just trade shorter term. The way you're saying you're doing it, you're not getting any profits at all. The price is really low on everything right now. Now is the time to buy if you're going to. Even if everything goes down a little more, you still got in in the middle of a really huge dip in price and will be fine in the long run.

Of course, Bitcoin price makes the altcoins to fluctuate hugely in the market. Even though there is a pump for Bitcoin, but it will surely affect the altcoin prices. In order to increase the altcoin prices, the price of Bitcoin should become stable and it will help the altcoin to increase their prices.

This is a crypto not a day-to-day currency like the dollar or something else that already has stability. Crypto is not possible to occupy stable prices, every time the price is always changing, even Bitcoin is always changing, that's the reason why BTC is difficult to be accepted as a fixed currency. The altcoin as well as btc does not have price stability, although stable coins will still experience fluctuations at any time. And your statement is too broad to discuss, you don't mention what atlcoin disappoints you, because not every altcoin disappoints even though it's in a down performance.

just wait for the bulls to come in and pump the market, bitcoin and altcoins will surely recover by then. For now id stop seeing my holdings because most of them are not good.

I don't think the frustration from Altcoin covers everyone here, the price of altcoin also only makes some people disappointed, but more accurately, those are unlucky and maybe luck will cover them in the near future because as you can see, altcoins in the market are making bright spots every day, a very good development when exchanges are constantly having pumps. Every day, an altcoin will be pumped, every week, the value of that altcoin will increase significantly, if we are still frustrated with altcoins, we do not worry when it is not our turn yet

There are still some that is happy seeing a low price of alts in the market because it gives them a chance to do a trade with a low amount and also it gives them a chance to acquire lots of coins with a low price. For me it is depends on the purpose of a person, some are opportunist with the low market condition.

yes it is indeed a bit disappointing to see the price of Altcoins on the market in a declining condition but maybe it is an opportunity for traders to buy cheap coins now that have good potential such as ETH, XRP or BTC. for long-term investment, they should start buying cheap coins on the market from now on. the goal may already be clear is that if market conditions come back to stabilize and there is a pump will happens, then big profits will soon be obtained.

In that case, we talk about altcoin, not Bitcoin. Altcoin clearly in worse condition and it is reasonable to not invest in this time, unless you can do ''short selling", it is okay.
altcoin keep dip and deeper, we dont know exactly how lowest it is. no matter how low, it can be lower

about bull sign, it is all about altcoin dominance. altcoin dominance tells so much altseason. that's what I look for

As of now, there is nothing in our hands because we already bought the altcoin at the high value and now they are completely in the down trend. Which we don't know how depth the altcoin will go down, either way they are going down when the price of Bitcoin is increasing/decreasing. The only situation we have now is to wait until they start recovering.

No it's not. Check https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/newscrypto/, made sick profit during red streets wohooooo

Even though the market price is turning red, it can be a good opportunity to buy altcoin. Usually, short-term traders often use opportunities like this to get profit even in small amounts. I personally prefer to buy altcoin in this condition and sell it when I get it. 5-10% profit in every trade, and that I do continuously and in my opinion it is very profitable than we invest long-term.

Look at the volume and how can it be considered as a good coin? it was only having not more than 150k USD as its daily trade volume. it will be going back again to the bottom price and just try to remind you if the pump will not be forever. I guess if that was true based on so many coins are getting dumped to the ground again.

Altcoin pricing does disappoint but some time not ! you must have ability to deal with it, if you loss what you invested then you must holding such coin and it can give you return in future if reach to your desire value to sell

Thanks

If you can make profits with that style of trading then good for you but I find that it is incredibly easy to say that you are going to obtain that kind of profits but it is really difficult to actually get them, we know that this market has a tendency of not moving much and then out of nowhere there is a big movement in either direction and if you are not watching the market as that movement is happening then you are going to lose any chance of making profits.

What we can do to put stop loss to deal with the bearish trend and i don't even see what we can do other than it consider about the result of the trend in altcoin can be changed when there will be something useful from the developers too. we are only traders.

The fact is that the sharp drop in altcoins in 2018 continues by inertia this year and is likely to affect the next year. Now, most altcoins have slowed down the fall and some are bouncing from the bottom.

Placing the stop loss is really important before we trade. Planning what will happen is what we need in order to minimize our losses. The altcoins are not disappointing after all, you lose big amount of money because you did not have stop loss at the first place. It also better to allocate most of our funds in bitcoins than in altcoins because there are many shitcoins around the market.

that's true and so many people are loosing their money caused by they are not putting stop loss. I have seen a bunch of people have made complaints on matic telegram group caused by the dump and that is the best example if stop loss is an important thing these days what ever how much liquidity in the market.

everyone should have determined the top selling price and the lowest selling price in the event of a dump. I always set that price on every investment I make. unless we have very high trust to be able to see these assets going up in the future. although now the price is going down very high it is not impossible if there are plans in the future that can make us believe the price will rise of course we will hold the asset even though we have lost a lot of money.

The price of alts has been disappointing me for more than two years now, because alts are on the bear market and everything can't recover, I hope everything will change in 2020.

I do not really see how the next year is going to be positive for altcoins, during the next year all the attention is going to be on bitcoin, if the halving brings the growth that everyone is expecting then you can be sure that altcoins are going to go down but in the case the halving does not cause the growth the community wants then the price of altcoins will go down as well as investors get scared and decide to get out of the market and look for better opportunities to make money.

but actually in altcoin we can still benefit if you can be more careful in doing daily trading in particular, because the movement of a small pump can provide benefits. but for now it needs more precision to be able to see the potential in altcoin

look at the charts and you'll understand why
we are at the ending of long correction in most of the altcoins
in few weeks or months you'll see better performance

IMO the only one to get profit in this time from 'short' trading. If we just do spot trading which is only one way 'long', we will lose. The price tends to down is the reason.
But we know that short trading isnt easy as it seems, we need much knowledge and practice before doing. There is big risk behind, losing all money.

The price of alts is disappointing, but now it's very difficult for alts, I think it's just worth waiting for and the price of alts should rise over time.

Do you think BTC is stable  ??? so it doesn't disappoint you? I more agree if the price of BTC is unstable so it impacts on altcoin instability. Because in addition to the influence of a country's currency, the effect of BTC prices is very large because most exchange rates in the market also use BTC  :).

You are right, the price of bitcoin fluctuation makes the altcoin to decrease their prices. Whenever the price drops I keep buying the altcoin but the price of an altcoin is kept fluctuating and this makes me feel not comfortable with the current situation. So we should not lose our hopes, but one day the price of altcoin will surely increase.

It may be this month or this year? Who knows.
Being a motivated person will drive also to be positive in the future but we have to think also and be open-minded. Too much confidence will never have always a positive result, it sometimes will end up also losing just like what it happens last 2018. Everyone is holding, everyone is buying cause they think that bullish will continue but what an unexpected downfall we have made people suffer big losses.

When bitcoin is stable and the altcoin itsel can pump the price use the good update as the result from the development. As long as that altcoin is doing very well and i can say if that will never disappoint everyone. But so many crap coins that has died caused by it can't bring a good progress on the product development.

I do not know if that will actually happen but if your prediction is correct even then it makes no sense to buy altcoins now, if you wait you may miss the absolute bottom of the market and this will limit your profits somehow but you are still going to get important profits, but in the case you are wrong and altcoins keep going down or remain stable then you would have wasted your money and time investing in something that gave you no profits and when I see the market it seems it is better to give a greater weight to the act of protecting your capital than to try to multiply it.

Now is not the highest price for alts, but it is certainly not a reason to be sad, because now there is a great opportunity to invest in very promising coins, which are now very cheap, and after a while you can sell many times more expensive.

Like you have to be patient about this.  However, those who are too mistaken or hate alt coins because the price is not going over.  Patiently someday there will be an alt coin period with unexpected tang value too.

Unfortunately most of these altcoins aren't even worth the time of reading the announcement. They're just pump and dump schemes by random individuals to make a little bit of cash. I think this is what people refer to most of the time when they mention altcoins. Those will never end up going anywhere and not even worth investing in. Now, the top of the altcoins will probably end up going up whenever we get more money into the marketcap for people to invest in them. Stick to the top altcoins and stay away from the crap and you'll probably do just fine.

why disappointing? you should be happy thats its so cheap so you can buy more
when its high you can be happy thats its good time to sell
but never call it "disappointing"
its just a price, nothing more..
if its low - keep buying
when it high - keep selling
thats all
there is nothing about feelings
and the charts actually are the opposite of "disappointing"
the charts of the altcoins looking great!

Altcoin's price is disappointing..???
If we look at the price of altcoin on the market is a bit disappointing, almost Two years altcoin is still bleeding. But as a trader, I see from a different perspective, at an affordable price the better it is to invest in several altcoins.
Never be discouraged, as long as the competition continues, we can still get hope.

Matic too much dropped within one month still now 300% dumping. But a lot of investors say that here suspecious activities are existing by manipulating the price because how it  terribly dumping just one month. Another all of the coins are red according to in your list. Few thousands of coins in the market so you have to looking whole of the market situations.                 

If you are a trader, you can still make a lot of profits in the past 2 years with altcoin. But if you are the holder then surely you will never see altcoin go up to ATH like before again. Altcoin after a long time of operation did not help this market, thousands of altcoins died because of no product and became a scam. In the future, many altcoins will continue to die, so you need to consider and choose carefully before you want to invest in any altcoin

Do not look for the price of altcoin everytime cause you will only be dissapointed. Have patience , maybe altcoins is just only waiting for that right moment before they skyrocket and by then you will be smiling because of huge gains.

but the price isnt always cheap and expensive
look at most coin right now, no matter how cheap it is, it still can be lower

I sometimes think that it is not easy to determine "low" of coins, bcz it is still possible getting lower
and I dont wonder if people dissapointed with the price right now

it might change right now so waiting  ???

The alts I'm holding are going quiet well these past few days. Some prices has started to rise up to 25% and I'm hoping value will continue to recover slowly. I've been holding some alts for over a year now and I'm hoping I can sell then at reasonable prices.

yes its called investment strategy, but for trader is not worth it. altcoin price tend to down and difficult to increase price so if someone buy in low price then waiting up price it need more time and make trader can not take profit for short term. it really make daily trader dissapointed, i feel same

for these few day altcoins show good chance, i hope it will be good begin for traders

If you bought a year ago, I think it was quite a good price. If you've lasted so long, keep them, because the season for altcoins will come again. I think there is a good chance that almost all top100 altcoins will reach ATH this year. Patience is the key!

Can you do that? Most altcoins are not giving any signal they will go up in the future, they are just reacting to the way bitcoin moves and as long as that is true then they are never going to move in a faster way than bitcoin, all of those that support altcoins should realize the truth the days in which altcoins could give you easy and incredible profits seem to be over and you need to be very careful when you invest in them or you will lose your money when you invest in them.

Not only altcoin but also other cryptocurrencies brought good profit to traders and investors back in 2016 and 2017, but today the situation has changed dramatically.  Considering certain statements of analysts that most altcoin do not have prospects in the future due to the lack of a final product that can be used in practice.  Indeed, until today, all the value of altcoin was supported by speculators in the market, and if interest in some altcoin is lost, then their price will immediately fall even lower.

Lets not lose hope its the nature of investing and cryptocurrency is riskier than any investment that had existed. As long is its not going to zero it might be good in the next period, it would be more impractical if you surrender everything during season because of frustration.

Altcoins are heavily influenced by the bear market and I am sure this period will be very bad when you choose to invest. However, I believe that this year things will soon change because in the early days of this year, altcoins are starting to show significant signs of growth and surely you will make a profit if you wait a little longer.

Of course, this is just my personal prediction and everything should depend a lot on your understanding because if you doubt then you will definitely be scared when investing.

Hope is always there especially to investor some have hope and some have not so if there is no hope people sell there holdings in bad time because there are no hope and patience. But those who have hope and patience are going to get a good profits. Many investor now are dissapointed because the price are going low they have no patience and no hope.

Well, those who always have hope and patience do not always achieve good profits but at least the hope for the positive is helping them to live longer in this market while those that continually express boredom then look for a hope in these atlcoin topics, they never have a calm to solve the problem, the whole world is always black and against them, that's all they can think of altcoin. The low altcoin price may be a relatively sad thing but the market will always go in a circle, falling will increase, the opportunity to buy low prices is in these sad situations

I guess it is not yet altcoin season, but I'm sure the price of the altcoins will grow, let's just wait or keep hold your altcoins, it will grow someday you'll see.

it depends on what coins you hold, if you hold coins that do not have strong fundamentals I think the coins will be difficult to go up, you can see waves, waves have gone up 100% from $ 0.5 to $ 1, and if you can survive it might be going to $ 2 - $ 3

Since you had the patience to hold the coin for this long i really hope that you will be able to wait for a couple of years so that the expected alt coins rally will come and everyone will have the opportunity to sell off their coins at a profit and everyone who is in the market for the past few years will be holding a decent amount of coins in their wallet and i hope it will happen in the top coins in the wallet.

We hope so but the time will tell us about when that will be happening. Never try to create a big speculation about the trend that is happening in the market. Just follow the trend and analyze the situation is always become the best choice right now. market is totally unpredictable and that's why arguing about when the bullish trend will come is useless right now.

And despite all of that I always see newbies pointing to the past and saying that could happen again, and without a doubt at some point in the future we are going to see an altcoin season, that is undeniable, what I have great doubts is that we are ever going to see useless projects becoming highly valued, the only altcoins that are going to go up in that circumstance are those that actually have a working product and that have demonstrated to the community that they are not scams.

I can't really see the difference honestly, as I feel that all the coins have a lot in common despite the fact that there are those who can keep moving upwards increase happens differently but it still looks the same. Bitcoin's price dropped and then recovered, and then retained its value in the range for quite a long time, but the coins below also faced the same thing where no one was able to move individually without bitcoin pumping. And nothing is so far disappointing because the bitcoin is pumping again and alts seem to be following.

Market is recovering strongly in January and today all altcoins are rising very high. I think altcoin season can come back earlier than expected and certainly if this trend can be sustained in the coming time, people will have more confidence when choosing to invest. Personally, I only hold a few coins in the top 50 and my profits today have increased by more than 50% in just one day.

Altcoins are not disappointing, at least today.

Major altcoins have increase significantly today, it beats BTC in increases and we can check it now https://coinmarketcap.com/
BSV and other forks are the most profitable today, this is what we should look, altcoins might be down for a year but it will recover quickly if there's a hype.

one good example is BSV, it was dump but now it has achieved a new success by having a new ATH.

facing trends in each period will have a good or bad value for altcoin. when BTC is trending, many holders will throw away their altcoins and switch to BTC, this is certainly one of the bad luck effects for altcoins, and when altcoin prices themselves are already more alarming and even near death, investors will be even more reluctant to glance at the altcoin and buy it again. BTC can be more stable because it is the first crypto, where many holders already believe in the future of BTC and already have a worldwide community. there will only be a few old altcoins that will survive.

Indeed, the value of altcoins is rising significantly today and we have a blue sky, the market has followed its rules, the sharp decline in the previous days is preparing for a quick recovery, people who have been frustrating over the past few months have been able to smile at the rising amount in their accounts. Today's lesson will be the experience of a long way ahead, altcoin frustration is not the end, it only brings a little trouble for us before harvest, the important thing is how we need to get past that stage

I think we finally arrived at a time when Altcoins prices are starting to behave positively. I think the time of disappointment is running out and we should start refilling the wallets.

because many altcoins fail or experience a price decline when it is already traded so that makes everyone still afraid to make investments and this also makes people choose bitcoin, the demand for bitcoin is getting bigger and prices continue to rise

I understand that investors want profits but is it really that what we want for the market of altcoins? While it is obvious that all of those that are holding that coin are very happy with the results that they are getting it is impossible for that kind of growth to be sustained, a crash is imminent, because as you say that recovery came only from hype and as long as that remains the case when their hype is gone then the price is going to go down even more quickly than in the way up.

Investors are afraid because there are already many altcoins that scam or abandoned projects so they are better off choosing to buy bitcoin than having to buy a new altcoin that has a very high risk.

I think right now some of the hikes that occur from altcoin aren't disappointing. those who can take advantage of the moment to sell their assets seem to have gotten a substantial profit. however, it is still too soon to be disappointed. This is the beginning of the year, and the development is quite convincing, it looks like you won't be disappointed with the results of the development of crypto this year.

not because of a risk I suppose. but if you see opportunities for market improvement starting from bitcoin you will see opportunities to seek greater profits. at the moment I think what most investors see is a bigger profit opportunity to get.

You should diversify. Choose alts that are good to hodl for long term and select coins that are good for trading. Invest on new potential projects. Even though the crypto market is unstable, there are still a few good projects out there that are really worth investing.

Find time to work with new projects, the value of doing proper research and assess the potentials will allow you to catch the right assets to hold.
If you failed once don't lean on it but instead try to focus and keep moving forward. There's always a good chance to get right investment if you
are really keen and you are positive to find success from this field.

Now the prices for alts are quite good and not disappointing at all, I personally see the prospects for growth of alts this year.

not all altcoins will follow the trend of rising prices of bitcoin, because indeed most investors prefer bitcoin investments, maybe only a few altcoins follow the current trend

This is due to the buying and selling demand of the market. We all know that here whales are more than small fish like us. they fomo bitcoin and manipulate the price of bitcoin makes the price of bitcoin only increase and the alts decrease in value.
alts don't actually do anything wrong, it's just because this market has no one interested in technology, they only care about what can make big and fast profits, and that's definitely bitcoin. If I didn't make a mistake then Bitcoin dominance will soon increase to 70% or 72% in the future. we will witness altcoins season of long term down.

I don't think Bitcoin's dominance will increase. The mood on the cryptocurrency market is improving day by day, and investors are regaining confidence. I think that when the new bull run starts on the BTC price, investors will again start looking for the "second Bitcoin" and the Altcoins prices will start rising again.

only few alts have a good price right now and those are the coins that are good to invest in. And for  the altcoins that are still having hard time to pump the price well seems like the game is over for them.

Cryptocurrencies do not look at whether it is the end of the year or its beginning. Cycles are repeating on all financial markets, not the calendar year. It is true that at this point we see positive price movements, but after such a long period of bear market, any upward movement will be positive. I think that now we have to wait for stabilization and the new cycle will start after Bitcoin halving event.

Since 2018 bitcoin is the only coin that keeps bring good returns to investors and since its dominance keeps increase up to 70% there will never be a chance for altcoins to surge like they did in 2017 bullrun, this year i hope after bitcoin surge high its dominance will decrease for altcoins to surge too

Very disappointed with altcoin price last 2018 and 2019 where not give little profit by investing in altcoin, how in this year with halving of bitcoin time could make continue for disappointing with altcoin again or not, will bitcoin take effect when halving time altcoin back to higher price and keep with lower price.

Man! I have no idea what are you talking about!!?

Anyway, if halving brings a bull run like the other time it happened, the prices of the alts will also go up (certainly not all of them, but top200, or meybe even top300 for sure) and the period of dissapointment will end.

Yeah, there will be another opportunity for alts to skyrocket just like last time. As more people invest into Bitcoin, it also increases the crypto marketcap as a whole. A lot of this money will find it's way to other alts and increase the price of those. If you increase the market cap, you increase the price of all the coins in that market. It won't just be Bitcoin benefiting from the increase in marketcap. You'll see whenever we get into the heat of the next bull run.

basically, last year in early 2019, the price has increased good enough.
But if we compared with what happened in last 2017, it would be much different.
At least, the coin shows us that they still can increase. It can indicate in the future that altseason can comeback again
We dont have any reason to not see another altseason, so prepare ourself

Exactly. Bitcoin always shows the way of Altcoins. If the price of Bitcoin can rise, then the Alts price may also go up. New users (those who have been on the market for a long time also) are always looking for Bitcoin's successor among Altcoins. Therefore, there will definitely be a lot of speculation as to which coin will become the new king. I'm sure that sooner or later the Alts season will come.

But you are only thinking about the profits you could have you are not really thinking about the long term prospects of the market of altcoins, of course people are happy with the profits they are getting but this is temporal if they keep trading altcoins sooner or later they will give back all of those profits to the market as they are unable to make profits as every subsequent attempt from altcoins to recover become a false bull run in which each time they lose their money because of FOMO.

Its hard to choose an altcoin for investments these days. Most of them just fluctuate allot with Bitcoin and when Bitcoin gets dumped, alt will bleed and even when it pumps alts will bleed. If you are holding alts for longer time then its harder than ever to keep holding them. The only way is to hope alts will get back to their previous high and people could sell them.

I not choose to invest in this period because I still could not be sure whether the market would increase well or not. I think things are risky for the time being and should be more careful because altcoins can still crash at any time. In recent years, altcoins are still in a downtrend and no coin in top 5 can reach new prices, so the ability to make profits will be much more difficult.

Any investor is looking forward to altcoin season but I believe this will not happen this year and may take at least another 1 to 3 years. Of course I just stopped at predicting and the market is still very unpredictable.

Because altcoin has disappointed many investors. For many years of operation, no altcoin has achieved the goal they have set, no product has been created and applied to life. There are also a lot of altcoins that have become scams in the last 2 years, altcoins generate only pump and dump and help project owners get huge profits. Given that situation, I believe that in 2020 the altcoin market will continue to collapse and many altcoins will continue to die

yes youre right in able for the market to become healthy ,it must first eliminate pump and dump altcoins and also those altcoins with no working product, it will be a big help for the crypto people. If scam project will be deleted investing will be safe.

If that's possible to happen then I agree to you, if we can limits or if we can eliminate those scam projects and everything that will remain
inside the market are those projects that have real case usages.
Pump and dump is tough to anticipate since pumped groups are very good in tricking investors and they played very well to entice traders.

I think, it cannot be eliminated since a lot of people are supporting and entertaining this kind of scheme and that's really a bad business for cryptocurrency and it is affecting a lot of people especially for new investor who only wants to make money in crypto.

And we cannot stop them and depend for the people who joined this scheme if they will realize it ahead before making any investment.

if there are people who invest in cryptocurrency then they should be able to implement long-term investments because if only making short-term investments it will make them difficult to make a profit, and mental investors must also be strong so it is not easy to be affected by bad news that makes coin prices fall because if you invest in a coin like bitcoin then the price can recover.

for the past two years, I have left long-term investments by selling BTC and switching to daily trading. I still earn the daily trades that I get. it's not too bad for me even better than just waiting for my assets to increase for a long time. now I have started to wait for BTC to rise and I think not for the long term. maybe until the end of this year or early next year.

ETC was just super a few weeks ago  :-\ so always have a different altcoins

what makes trading risks go that high? each asset in daily trading is chosen based on the high trading volume in the market. if not then clearly the loss will occur. but to start trading with such risks will certainly be very difficult to get a profit. the key is to choose the right assets in your trade.

One of the most important things for a trader to do is to identify in which kind of market we are, 2018 was a terrible year to be an investor or a holder and you could have been better by just staying on the sidelines or shorting bitcoin, but 2019 was a good year for holders and investors, and for what I can see it seems that this year it is going to be good as well for investors, we only need to be patient and hold our coins no matter what happens before the halving.

Altcoins are not doing really well since all the time high. not only you even the whole crypto community is disappointed as their investment is at risk. well let's just wait and see what 2020 can bring

Probably there's a lot of chance for us to see the market pump this year, it has been said that 2020 is bullish due to the upcoming halving schedule and in fact so far the price has significantly increase already. January was good, so he hold by this month, another good pump we are going to witness, bitcoin rising to $12,000 this month is very possible.

we will then slowly see altcoins to rise also, and hopefully people will not be disappointed this year.

Alts that have strong grounds and good developments are possible to increase and rise after Bitcoin successfully gained much attention and pumped back to another barrier. We all knew that top Alts are moving positively whenever bitcoin make a strong bullish movements.
For now, taking this situations as favorable timing to invest and patiently waits for a good comeback with chosen alts to store inside your wallets.

Disappointments are normal especially in this kind of situation but I don't think that's gonna last long because we all know that crypto prices are volatile in terms of price so they may be times that the prices are in a downfall but that doesn't mean it is already a shit coin because what if in the future it pumps up higher. At this point, the only thing we can do is to wait for the market to recover since the changes in price are passive and we can't predict when it is gonna happen, we should wait and keep on supporting every project that is coming and continue to hold any altcoins you are holding.

yes you are so right. the projects suffer from the fact that it is almost hopeless to make money with an ICO.
who knows which was the last ICO that really lead to success? currently all startups with such great ideas die away and nothing comes up.
i also don't know if this will change with the next bullrun. at the moment it looks bad for the most part. :-X

Investor confidence in a new project has indeed diminished, but that does not mean it disappears. one day there will be a time where the glory of the new project will return. this situation will reappear when the scammer is handled properly. we wait for that time to come and we can see again the altcoin market is growing well.

As far as experience in trading in other assets tells me, the cryptocurrency market is not much. What is the difference from the stock market Or from the raw materials market.  The fact is that any cryptocurrency, including altcoin, will be primarily valued based on the indicators of their demand in the society and on the cryptocurrency market.  If any altcoin rises in price, therefore, first of all, the development indicators of a particular company, the same situation will be with altcoin, since only the demand for specifically altcoin in the market will correspond to its value.  Nevertheless, for a long time, users have expressed their opinion that almost 70% of all altcoins do not have prospects in the future, and therefore, you need to carefully select coins for investment.  if altcoin improves its performance only due to the actions of speculators in the market, then this is also a very risky asset.

Now alts on the contrary are happy, because after two years on the market, alts now look very promising and personally I have returned to them trust.

I was about to say this, it looks like the confidence is slowly getting back into the altcoin market. This 2020 is a good start for cryptocurrency in general as we have seen some small gains here and there in most of the altcoins right now. Just look at the top 10 coins today, all green with Ethereum leading the pack and breaking that big psychological barrier of $200.

I guess if you really wanted to stay long in this ecosystem, you should learn to be patience because there will be a lot of bumps and you will be tested mentality, just like what happened in the bearish 2018-2019. And if you have successfully passed the test, then I'm sure everyone will get the biggest profits if we will see a massive bullrun this 2020-2021.

I think it's not disappointing its an opportunity, just focus on the coins with use-case like RYO and keep on buying at cheap price. If the price is cheap you have the opportunity to buy many coins with a few bucks. Altcoins don't have support like Bitcoin but they have use-case and privacy features so it is a good thing if prices are low, not a disappointment.

not all altcoin with low prices you can buy for a profit. pay attention to the coin market and the project they are developing. if the project they develop does not work on the market it will be difficult to make their coins in exchange for increasing prices. many altcoins do not move even though the market has improved with the increase mobilized by bitcoin.

Cryptocurrency market movement will change at the end of year we are hope for that, i think without 2017 it's prediction not followed in the others year. Altcoins investment price will recover or not for long term who's able to guaranteed.

Absolutely profit is possible for short term investment profit in alccoins, btc will recover one day it's something guaranteed.

Well not all the time altcoins could be always into a high price there will be a time to dip the price.
But it depend only to a altcoins we have if this be have a potential to increase the price in a future. Some altcoins be drop are those altcoins comed from the bounty campaign because on the first place of distrubtion the price on it started to dip price.

On the contrary! Now the prices of alts are beginning to please, because lately they have been increasing almost all the time and are growing very well.

In fact, we should not worry about the price of altcoins, but about their use. If their use will grow, then demand will increase, and hence the price. If there is no fundamental reason for the price increase, then it will not happen (I do not take into account short-term speculative price changes).

At the end of 2019 altcoin did not show a positive price so that made some people disappointed, but bitcoin always tried to go up and in early 2020 bitcoin really reached $10k than I predicted and altcoin followed it even though it wasn't completely but this made the market situation improve

when the situation of bitcoin price improvements began to appear in 2019. we can see many people moving to adopt more bitcoin than the altcoin. it's only natural because the bitcoin graph is more interesting than altcoin at that time. and now maybe those who buy more bitcoin when it's cheap. now they are partying because of the huge profits they have.

But that is not for all altcoin, I'm seeing coinmarketcap and there is a lot of altcoin who just decrease in price comparing the top altcoin like ripple and ethereum. Most of the top altcoins are increasing and there will be many investor who have got the profit. Now I'm aware if there is some people says that altcoins price are depend on bitcoin price is true, I can see ut right now. It can be use as benchmark as well for those who start to invest I think.

The price of altcoins does not disappoint me anymore. In the last month, altcoins began to rise very well in price and even show better results in this regard than bitcoin. This is despite the fact that in May it is going to be divided in half and there is a good reason for its price growth. Therefore, I am optimistic about the prospects for the development of altcoins.

At least for now we are seeing some major recovery, for ETH alone form $100+ now already trading over $200, and that is good development over a short period of time, thanks for the bullish bitcoin movement and we hope this will continue as that's the only reason for a possible altcoins season to start.

logically it should when bitcoin starts crawling up then altcoin should be affected also go up, because after all bitcoin really affects all altcoin. but if altcoin is not able to move up it can be caused by altcoin not being developed properly. but there is always time for improvement when bitcoin continues to rise gradually.

It's not altcoin year yet, it's the year of Bitcoin due to halving event in upcoming month. To be honest, there are few good altcoins were getting pumped last month. BTG is one of the example, the price was pumped to 150% and you can definitely get something there, please take a look at whole altcoins not just the top one :^)

Chance to grow if there's improvement and progress from the team but if there's nothing surely it will not do anything.
It will just continue disappointing yourself but if you can sort what will be the next pump coin chance for you to gained
still possible from this market.

They aren't disappointing at all, they always have their moments unlike bitcoin that usually grows in years, altcoins grows always takes time but when the time comes altcoins brings the best ROI, to be a altcoin holder one needs lots of patience

Altcoins are helping a lot of investors to get big profits from this market and surely the altcoin season will probably last longer in the next few months so it's time for you to consider investing more. In addition, Bitcoin is stable at $10,000 and certainly if this price can be maintained in the near future, the altcoin will increase in price. However, you should only be trading day and should not hold long-term because the market can collapse at any time.

That's right, now we can see that some altcoins have been going up since a few days. I feel incredible patience when holding altcoin since the bearmarket happened in 2018 and now I can only see good price movements, I can't wait to wait for the next moment :D

The altcoin market is now in dire straits. So now trading has become a risk.

depends sometimes btc goes up just a little and few of altcoins 20 % up

The fact that you were able to hold and survive until now, I have no doubt you'll be able to make good profit as you still continue to hold this year.
Hopefully this year people will not anymore think that altcoins are disappointing this year, so let's hope altcoins season do really come soon.

Its not disaappointing rather its time to accumulate all your favorite coins while they are cheap cause once altseason started you will buy them in a higher price.

you will only disappointed if you expected too much,because altcoin supposedly for daily trading activities and Long term holding.
but if you are just buying and waiting for high value but don't have enought ime to wait?then better not to invest at all because all you will get is disappointment.
or better wait in bull run before purchasing but of course the lower of profit you might get.

When we see an opportunity we should buy them in the market, altcoin market is slowly recovering and it will surely help us to make higher profits in the coming days. Of course, without market correction it is impossible for us to recover the price, we should always think it is going to be another opportunity for grabbing them.

If this is the bitcoins year, this is gonna be altcoins year. You know why? The price of the altcoin is somehow independent on what will be the next price of bitcoin. If bitcoin increase its price because of the halving, the value of the other coins will for surely gonna move since they are independent into it. Lets just wait what will happen to the whole market after the halving.

Indeed, its risky to invest in altcoins compared to bitcoin but quite profitable if you invest in a good coin and waited for its price to soar high. It will not happen overnight thats why having lots of patience is a must because crypto investing cant promise you to gain profit in a short period.

As much as possible its better to accumulate while the price is still cheap this is if you truly believe in crypto. However if you want to engge yourself during the price is soaring high then its up to investor itself what he think is best.

BNB also reached its ATH in 2019. I think, if we talk about altcoin as a whole, it's wrong. however, if only a few of them might be the right opinion. to be honest, most of the prices of altcoin are disappointing, it's just that, some altcoins show a pretty satisfying price increase. this year begins with BSV.

There are several explanations regarding the Bitcoin SV indicators on the cryptocurrency market, and the first growth of this coin was probably due to the statements of Calvin Eyre, the founder of CoinGeek, who focused on getting the cryptocurrency user community that Craig Wright received the White Book copyright  bitcoin.  And as if this is proof that this person is Satoshi.  ???  ;D  But if we talk about altcoin in general, then in my opinion their indicators primarily reflect the efforts of speculators, especially if these altcoins do not have a real product.
