As we all know , crypto market is not doing so much in these days. Major Altcoins are bleeding, even top currencies are not increasing
Major reason according to my opinion is the lack of new investors. New investors are not showing interest.
in 2020 I think will be better than Today. What do you think, what is your prediction about crypto market. kindly share your thought.

Blame market condition not coins or tokens unless they are bad projects, who tells you that new investors are not showing interest by the way? i think you are wrong there, the good news going around about crypto alone can't be denied which is why i belief that crypto will be the next big thing in future, things a shaping up for good, you are just not following, leave market condition for now and see future better adoptions

"Too much of anything is good for nothing", We can relate this words to number of crypto projects also.We have lot of new crypto projects claiming that they are next bitcoin, they can be better than bitcoin,etc but all these ends up with nothing they just ran away with investors money.So investors starts to think and hold back from investing few of them realized new cryptos will never give them such benefits as older days as of now.

New projects are not living up to their standards, new things are built to fix old things but this is not the case in crypto space, new projects are been built to grab money from investors, they are now smarter to invest in old projects since no new project wants to actually fix problems in crypto world today

Possibly, but we have to remember that all altcoins on the market relatively follow the price movements of Bitcoin first. So if Bitcoin is bullish, than alts will see an increase in upwards price movements and when Bitcoin falls, other altcoins began to descend. I think that their isn't a firm belief in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency at the moment among your everyday average Joe citizen. If Facebook were to get their Libra platform off of the ground, the adoption level could potentially increase. Only time well tell!

Maybe you are looking at it in a shorter timeframe. You might want to check the larger picture with regards to the prices. In general, you could see the whole trend and see the changes. There could be a couple of reasons why it’s not making significant movements with the price, and one of the reasons is the demand. Depending on what altcoin you are talking about, you could see what's the demand on it.

The prediction that I have is Bitcoin biased. I see alts falling because of a possible significant price action movement in the price of Bitcoin.

We will see market movements in 2020 where we will assess which ones will be better in crypto, and I think investors are still responsible at the end of their year so decided to look at 2020.
My prediction about the crypto market will increase in 2020 because the situation starts conducive and will face halving and many projects are working with companies and mass adoption, the growth will be so fast.

From 2018 Crypto market situation is bad.Maybe because of hyip and after dump many investors left the crypto.But Now crypto market trying to recover.
Yes I think 2020 will be good for crypto market.But predict crypto is really hard.Crypto can turned to reverse anytime.But hope for best in 2020.

Indeed, this increase had more impact on BTC, but we cannot say that this year is too bad for altcoins, as prices have increased compared to the beginning of the year. On the other hand, halving is also about btc and it is not guaranteed that the same scenario will not happen. Because if the increase in this year was not enough for you, there is little chance that the next increase will be more than that.

Could be, but the thing I think made people leave is the fact that the high they bought at is so far from the bottom prices that they either sold and accepted their loss, or still hold an expensive bag of altcoins.

People bought into altcoins believing they would change the world and go up in value endlessly, which in 2017 seemed to be the case, but bubbles pop and people get hurt.

Altcoins need to surpass their current highs otherwise I highly doubt people will come back. Every single time altcoins have a bounce up people get excited, but it turns out to be yet another lower high.

Because most of the money circulate in  cryptocurrency invested already in many crowdsale, and most of the project failed and investors do not even get what they invested and only lost money. The money they can use to buy potential altcoin is already in the hand of many project developer and some of them is fraud, and if there is no new money enter then the price of many altcoin will crash.

I don’t know why but investors should be more aggressive when the market is down, and in my analysis whales are taking these chance to buy more which is lack to those who are in panic. The market trends is still down, and altcoins can’t pump while it is still bear. Next year will be good, but investors have to take action now if they really want to earn more, know the theory of buy low and sell high.

I think one of the reasons why major altcoins are still unable to recover now is because of the big whales that are still controlling the market and therefore the price of altcoins is not continuing to rise. And I think we'll see the altcoin season again when the bitcoin bull run begins. But I do not expect that all coins will have a positive price.

That is what we see right now, and we don't have to be sad because this situation won't stay forever. The altcoin and bitcoin will move later, and that will make the crypto market will start to change. I think the new investor still invests in the project, but they now very selective about choosing the project because they get a bad experience from the other investor. The investor wants to avoid that bad experience by searching for more information related to the project so they can decide to invest or not. Maybe if you think the market is not looking good, you can leave the market for a while, so you don't feel that the market is stagnant.

Naturally, when lately no new investors have appeared in crypto, because it is also influenced by unfavorable markets, so they are reluctant to invest in crypto, moreover new investors also take references to investors who have long been in crypto as a reference their current knowledge, and for future predictions I have not been able to give his views.

Are you sure? From what I'm seeing the past few days we're seeing quite a good of market conditions. Even though it's not that good but it's also not that bad either. I can't argue with how bad it was before but still, now's a lot better than before. We were having quite a good ups and downs.

Investors might be waiting for the very right time to join the market. And for the prediction for next year, I don't have any actually. What I have is only hope that it will be a better year for cryptocurrency where we see bull run here and there.

new investors were rekt since the beginning of 2018, they wouldn't be coming until the market will be stable.  or another xi jinping shills. china adoption are looked at to be significant in crypto community and for BTC price to go up that public may says its being pumped again.

trusting altcoins are just too much to ask for new comers because by the look of the altcoin's history since 2017, the prices had gone from bad to worse.

I haven't been able to make predictions for next year, and for new investors it is clear that there will never be if the crypto market has not improved, because many old investors have already left the crypto world, automatically new investors are also afraid to enter the crypto market.

There are so many prediction about crypto specially in altcoin and bitcoin which is the most fast moving and most popular coin here in crypto world.  I think in year 2020 it is the year of bitcoin. And all we know that when bitcoin will rise that is the time that the altcoin will fall because investor's attention is on bitcoin.

It is not directly about the lack of investors, but about their fear. Investors are still looking at the cryptocurrency market, unfortunately because many of them have lost a lot of money, everyone is waiting for it to be confirmed that the bear market is over. The bear market will end when whales want this. So we can only wait.

It's just too many altcoins that depends on BTC price, so whenever BTC dumps they are all affected. As we see the market of bitcoin is not increasing that much does altcoin do. If that specific alt shows progress in their product development it can have chance to grow.

Prices are falling, then rising again. A cycle is in progress. Psychologically sound investors benefit from this cycle. However, the number of investors investing more losses. Taking Altcoin always carries too much risk.

Lots of investors got badly burned by the ICO craze in 2018, and are staying clear of the altcoin market.

In my opinion a lot of alts need to get sent to the altcoin graveyard and the community needs to concentrate on getting about ten alts onto every single exchange on earth to ensure sufficient liquidty for them.

When the market (any market) have the uncertainty & doubt feeling dominating it, it' so normal to see more sell offs than buys.
This feeling is obvious now when Bitcoin moves sideways so close to this strong support ($7200), this major support is crucial, if broken wee may see old number we've seen them months ago ($6200, $5200,, $3200).

You were right when Bitcoin
Dominance is still very high and capitalization gradually lost over time. The alts are not as well supported now and many investors are losing faith in them. They are being condemned by smooth promises and it's all about drawing. So with these ideas it seems that alts will not be able to grow strongly in 2020, then investors will focus more on bitcoin. So my advice is that you should invest your money in bitcoin better.

Yes since 2017 the  Altcoin have suffered a lot There has been a lot of rogue in the ico now in the IEO, I hope that 2020 will bring new investor

this is the best suggestion stay only on the top coins and forget investing in many altcoin it will never help crypto indutry it will slowly down the market , if people continue investing in those project then it will hard to increase the price of bitcoin and other crypto currency that deserve to be in the top.

Bitcoin still had his dominance in the market. It is no doubt that 2019 is not the best year for the altcoin market. At present we not able to see much growth in altcoins but hope we will see in the near future. So holding is the only option to gain some profit altcoin.

New investors are still reluctant to invest in the crypto market, maybe according to them the market passion is not yet attractive, and most people think that cryptocurrency is a money game, which can quickly spend their money. usually these new investors will follow the market as fomo occurs

The problem cryptocurrency’s altcoins is facing now that there are too much of them, investors are too hard to make a choice among them, and such a wide variety of them made money flow too fragmented. And I think that’s the main reason why they’re so hardly to grow faster.
That’s my opinion though.

Because after 2018 big scams from lending projects, investors are hating cryptocurrency and many investors left crypto investment and good altcoins with great future also have the impact because people are losing interest. I'm sure next year crypto will recovery because crypto environtment is more healthy right now and scams are less.

Because the dominance of Bitcoin is far too big. BTC was the only coin that made profit during the whole year, which makes investors trust and invest in main crypto. Furthermore, altcoins did nothing but disappointed investors.

I think the main reason is not even the lack of investors. The fact that cryptocurrency is not so popular among ordinary residents. When everyone can come to a supermarket or cafe and pay with cryptocurrency, then there will be growth and stability.

I don't agree with you, okay let me ask, if there is lack of new investors, who are the ones investing in new projects IEOs which makes them a success? New investors are coming up everyday, although they aren't huge like before but there are traces of them everywhere. Also, the market in general is bleeding and has not been in good form for a while now because most new projects aren't living upto expectations; that is once they conduct IEO and list, it pumps and then investors dump and move on to the next IEO. We need projects that are after value.

you're right. the biggest problem now is the lack of new money in the market. People are simply not interested in entering cryptocurrency because they are afraid to lose their money. scam projects have created such a reputation.

I think if we wait for the altcoin pump price together with a high price, it needs the support of bitcoin and ethereum. Well, when the price of bitcoin went up, I was pretty sure that it had a pretty good effect on the price of an altcoin. it was proven when bitcoin prices rose this year, even when prices were dominant, altcoin prices were still developing. however, when ethereum prices also recover, it will make most altcoins also recover, moreover many altcoins use platforms from ERC20.
for now, we need to wait until investors are interested in returning to cryptocurrency. I am pretty sure the potential lies after halving happened.

Why would they be interested if they are seeing that there's a lot of people screaming and crying that their money lost because they invested, a lot of traders  had lost their hope as their one source of income as trader had suddenly disappear just like what happened to IDAX which was really unexpected and a big surprise to everyone as IDAX was one of the most trusted exchange.

People are afraid of losing to much that is why they quit on crypto which is not good. They must endure this season and always think positive that this season shall pass and eventually green days will come again soon. I hope that when it happens, they still holding the coins that they are keeping for a long time and did not sell it in lower price.

Everything is bleeding these days and has been since the crash of december 2017.  Some bleed slow, other fast, but basically all altcoins have gone down *a lot*.  You can tell which coins are the best ones by how much they've fallen since the beginning of 2018.  A lot of the awful ones have lost 90% of their value or more, whereas the best ones have declined maybe 75%.  That's bad, but it also might mean that now is a good time to buy the best ones.

You have to be greedy when others are fearful, right?  I've heard that little dictum quite a few times and I believe it's true.  That means when an otherwise quality investment has gotten pounded past the point of rationality, you need to start buying it.  I'm pretty certain that altcoins will make a comeback, but since there are so many of them only the best ones will see a decent recovery.  And the obvious problem is picking which ones those are.  I don't have any hard and fast answers to that, but I'd say coins like Eth, dash, monero and a few others would qualify.

It's going to be a better market in 2020, that's my hope.

Yes. , the lack of interest in new investors also greatly affects the current market situation. already 2 seasons we see the market situation there is no significant price movements both altcoin and major coins such as bitcoin. on the other hand there are many fake projects and this further worsens the current market situation and reflects the project's bad image.

I don't know the reason why market like this, I'm not really care about market situation right know, because we can still get chance to growing our fund up even with little precentage. If you scare about market situation, use your money wisely before buying an altcoin, or it will be better if you just watching and learn before re-enter to crypto market.

It’s all about the number of investors as when you invest more so it will make the price go high. Time matters as if you notice that price is low in market so just go and buy. As now a day people are selling more so it made the demand down than supply. We should keep holding I hope things will be fine again just keep patience .

this simply means that there is still a big hope for the altcoins. There is a big positive sign in the market and we will see something big in the market soon

In my opinion, all the reasons lie on the surface. For growth, altcoins need a market maker that will push the price up, it can be represented as a large player or as a set of many small players.
Now there is no market maker on the market, but it still occurs in some individual coins. Until a new hype on cryptocurrencies begins, and it does not begin soon, you can not wait for growth.

Ill think we are in dump situation right now so we can say the altcoins are not growing the price, And it was to long that altcoins are not recover yet. Maybe the BTC will start increasing the price some altcoins also are followed and one of them are ETH and XRP. They always dump since the bull run has stop and they dump also the price in that time. But in this year 2020 many of us in here predicting that would be have a bull run and it depends on us if we believe it or not.

ALTCOINS are not growing. Bitcoin reversed its trend and grown to certain extent. But all the coins overall are too far away from its all time high. Time need to come to get into the new all time high for atleast popular coins.

The lack of interest is owed to a lot of crap/scam projects that were introduced and are being launched up until now. Since those investors, small or big time, have had enough of losing money, they somehow are now ignoring the new projects even if there are few good ones. We can't blame them because it is really not fair losing a lot of money for crap projects. However, bitcoin is still here and keeping its position to be the strong crypto no matter what happens in the market.

2020 is speculated to be the best year for crypto market as bitcoin block reward halving is coming closer and closer people are waiting for the event to happen and then we can see price movements after that, but before that, I don't think the price is gonna change or fluctuate that much. I mean people used to come into crypto because of its volatility and there were fortunes to be made and many did make fortunes by investing in Crypto but it isn't the same no more but 2020 is coming close and at least my hopes are high to see what's in it for us.

The market is run by the big players and when they need to, they are sure to attract new investors to the market. So don't worry about it. Altcoins will grow, but when their time comes.

Exactly. Many projects that appear, offering products that are sometimes not realistic, so it's just like bullshit. Investors are more careful because most are just trying to find funds and then run away without any sequel.
However, that does not mean that investors really go, they just choose a safer way to join IEO on a trusted exchange. Thus their funds are safer because a trusted exchange will surely make a very strict selection of the IEO that it handles so that this is one of the best ways to avoid shit projects.

Lack of interest for the new investors? actually there's so much interest for the new investors but they are scared of investing because they want to make it sure that the market won't be the same when they've invested and lost a lot of money during the bear market.
In 2020 and so on, I think that the market will show the strongest coins. The altcoins that can't even stand on its own will be removed and die slowly.

Bad market conditions don't let the altcoins hit their all-time high prices and the recent situation is bad everywhere. After the expected bull market, the anticipated prices will be the real game-changer for all crypto investors. I guess the altcoin will go higher right after the BTC price soar.

Big players knows how to work it out with new investors, as the marketing teams have the it conceptualized and understand the behaviors of those new people. It's about how make things beneficial to their investment allowing the cycle repeat itself. After this fall big whales will begin to create movements allowing this new investors to see good chance to make a position and play along with them.

We all know that cryptocurrencies are volatile and no price is consistent with permanent. There's always a season for everything. It's not the best time for altcoins but I believe that prices will go better when the market recovers again. There are really lots of potential altcoins so lucky are those who are patiently holding their coins when the best season for altcoins approach again.

Many people always asking when altcoin growing up to higher price, but my prediction until bitcoin keep with lower price never available seeing altcoin on higher price, need to make bitcoin pump with higher price and then just waiting altcoin back to higher price. We not have chance to get profit with altcoin if bitcoin price keep lower and down, impossible without bitcoin have raise higher price altcoin will be on the top.

This year is a little bit tough for almost all the currencies not only to altcoins but to all currencies even the king of crypto currencies is suffering also.
This scenario is not because of lack of investors but because the demand is not increasing due to the market condition.

2020 will be the best year to comeback, though it will take time to reach the peak of the market again but once the demand will skyrocket then I am pretty sure that we can skip the bear market easily. Let's just hope that the big whales and other entities will start to move in 2020.

The number of new projects and the end of fraud makes investors more careful to choose a new altcoin, market conditions have been flushed since early 2018 and until now, many new altcoins have almost the same ideas, but investors prefer holding bitcoin even though prices fall because bitcoin has volume more trade is greater than the altcoin

the last two years the crypto market especially altcoin has lost a lot. in my opinion the fall of the altcoin market is also influenced by the dumping of bitcoins we know that after the increase in 2017 bitcoin has continued to decline. and bitcoin at the beginning of this year bitcoin is at a low of $ 3000. this made the altcoin market bleed plus in 2018 and 2019 the ICO fraud was so numerous that it made investors afraid to invest in crypto. but I remain optimistic in the next year after bitcoin is reduced by half, hopefully the price of bitcoin is pumping and making the altcoin market green again.

It also underlies that many investors are just more comfortable with usdt when bitcoin moves static again, altcoin is a victim of active BTC dominance. New investors only care about conditions that tend not to be negative so they look for projections from other businesses.

I also distinguish traders with investors literally, because traders are still looking for profits that make altcoin volume always moving. But they can also become investors if the dominance of altcoin signals increases.

Altcoin depends on the value of Bitcoin, if Bitcoin increases, Altcoin will increase but at a level that is not as large as in 2017 and vice versa, part of the projects are more new without attracting more capitalization for The market is also part, and on the other hand many people sell Altcoin to accumulate on Bitcoin when the value is low.

It is simply because of the low demand in the market, unlike the year 2017; we saw a lot of parabolic moves of altcoins and most of them go to moon because of the high demand in the market. Most of the altcoins nowadays are keep dying because of the low demand, do not buy altcoins that have low volume because it is expected that it has low demand in the market. Buy altcoins that have high volume because those altcoins have high demand in the cryptocurrency market.

lonely enthusiasts, trading volume is declining, many new projects end up scamming, hodlers who continue to believe that prices will soon rise, it all makes altcoin difficult to grow. because the growth of coins will be greatly influenced by the occurrence of transactions on them.

investors influence market rise. the effect of a lot of deceptive investments and also successful investments but have very little value is very influential on the market because investors choose the way out of crypto. maybe crypto coin developers should try to convince investors to get back into crypto

It is true that altcoins now look bad, because price movements in the market have not improved. If we pay attention there are several
reasons why altcoins not growing these days. One of them is because in 2019 there are a lot of scam projects, which makes new investors
hesitate to invest in altcoins. The next reason is because of the bitcoin price very unstable, and the price of bitcoin has not been able to
return to the price of $ 10,000, causing altcoins to fall in price. Because of the price altcoins are following the bitcoin price movements.
So with the current bitcoin price, altcoins are also affected. We hope that by the end of 2019 there will be an increase in the price of bitcoin,
so we can make the price of altcoins also go up.

Before a year ago. The altcoins become more popular because there is only a few altcoins that can make sure your investment. You can count the scams in your hand. Now that the bitcoin shine, there is a lot of scammer that taking advantage to create some fraud project that will cause to lessen the investors time by time.  This cause the altcoins not growing this days.

I think the first question that comes to my mind is why investors should show any interest in investing in altcoins? Investors are not dumb, they can see what happened in the market of cryptocurrencies a few years ago, most of the growth that we had in the altcoin market was the product of nothing but hype, most of the coins that were supposed to become the new leaders of this market and to bring adoption all over the world failed on their goals and many disappeared, which rational investor will want to invest in altcoins ever again?

Altcoins are not growing these days because people who are in the market are now less aggressive than before. They are aware that the market has become more mature and they adjusted themselves in order to fit with that term so they are now more on analysis before they put their money which made the altcoins to have a slow growth.

You are mistaken, not because of a lack of investor interest. But because of the hundreds of altcoins only a few can provide good progress, investors will be there.
Outside there are so many investors who want to invest in crypto, but with a note that the project must be clear in performance, not just a blank vision.
Actually we can already see which altcoin projects are really real and projects that are only fraud.

It sounds like that.

It keeps in mind that altcoins are still relying on the growth of bitcoin. So many times it questioned how Bitcoins price trend affects the entire crypto market and exactly, it happens again. Altcoins suffer huge drops because Bitcoin still low but investors never look this a way that the market will collapse instead, it gives opportunity for them to buy and collect more altcoins which I believe that they are right and thinking that the market will soon to rise.

That is it, many altcoins had been flooded into market without a clear picture of the market a lot of them had abandoned or deviated from their white paper thus abysmal performance in the market indicates lack of progress of the coin as you rightly said while some are frauds and scammers that had discouraged many investors to invest in them.

Everyone keeps saying 2020 will be great for crypto, I want that to come true but precisely I think 2020 will be great for Bitcoin. It's not a bad idea to invest in altcoins but invest with caution! Many projects are built on lies, most end up packing up with funds. If you go by promises on whitepaper and roadmap, we can consider at least 90% of altcoins as already failed projects. New investors are not showing interest as before because everyone is scared.

In my view, there are 2 main reasons for that, fundamental ones.
First, exchanges manipulate prices like crazy. You can see it on new listings, on old coins, just everywhere. They’ve learned how to earn money directly from their users deposits. As soon as they did, we’ve seen a massive price drop of alts in 2018. And we continue to see it right now. If you think that it’s impossible for exchange to suppress price of low cap coin, then you have to check FRM for example. They’ve had 200k usd initial mcap. And it was suppressed even with such a low mcap. How? Cause most users transferred their coins on one exchange to never withdraw it again. In such case exchange can continuously dump users tokens on the heads of those who buy more and not transfer those tokens out from exchange. Such manipulation obviously comes with a high risk, especially on a low cap coin, where every once in a while a rather big investor finds out about the project and try to make a withdraw. And exchange in this case have to stop withdrawals/deposits. Cause they simply doesn’t have enough coins to make a payment. In other case, exchange “got hacked”.
Second, users hold most their coins on exchanges. And those who doesn’t, usually hold them for a long time without trying to buy/sell. Such behavior on users side, make it possible for exchanges to have a full control over the price and let them easily earn from dumping price.

If you interested how exactly exchanges do that. They just consider users tokens/coins as their own. Use them as a leverage. Sell let’s say at 1usd and quickly dump it to no less than 50% of its price. If person see less than 50% price drop, with enough liquidity, he’ll consider cutting the loss. With more than 50% price drop, person consider to hold until recovery. The lower the price, the less people consider cutting the loss. At 90% drop almost no one really cares about cutting the loss anymore and just hold infinitely.
So it dropped 40%. People start selling massively. Exchange buy back from those people and now they just earned 0.4usd from every token they’ve leveraged at 1usd. Now they can repeat this scheme taking 0.6usd price as a basis.
And they can repeat this thing indefinitely, until someone try to make a big withdrawal in the wrong moment. If there are many such clients at once, exchange stops withdrawals/deposits. Until they’ll purchase tokens somewhere else.

What can you do to change that? Just never hold your tokens on any exchange. And use exchanges only when you really have to buy more/sell the pump. The sooner more people realize that, the sooner market starts recovery.

Let us remember that all of us here are almost investors, if not investors, might be a trader or a bounty hunter that is holding some coins/altcoins, so what do you expect, for sure everyone of us are aiming to have a good start of the year as we are looking forward that our investment will grow as well as can hype and can invite our friends and some people to do crypto too so the demand will continue to increase.

All types of investments are always risky, but the higher the risk, the higher the return. We can't say anything about the future, at the time when ETH was launched who would have thought that its price could reach $1200? Everything is shit until it is profitable.

In my opinion, investors today prefer to wait for the right time to restart investing because if we look at the number of scam projects that make investors suffer losses and make investors hesitate to start investing again in new projects. And I think this is a natural thing, maybe it needs a factor that can encourage investors to return to invest.

I think one of the reasons for this situation is that investors prefer Bitcoin as a safer port instead of altcoins. Sudden declines in altcoins frighten investors naturally, and small increases in altcoins do not provide a satisfactory profit for short-term investors. This causes investors to turn to Bitcoin. And in this case, it increases the dominance of Bitcoin and causes the bitcoin to suppress of altcoins more.

I don't think of it that way. Investors tend to do another type of investment to at least make a profit while we are in the bear market or maybe they put their investment to safety like stablecoins. Bitcoin has the same situation as altcoins so I don't think that they will prefer bitcoin where they will just having the same scenario.

Good for those weak investors. If people lose confidence after just 1 bear,,, bearing in mind Bitcoin is still actually way more above its price than before the start of the bull run, and bearing in mind that almost 99% of all altcoins actually have no users and yet are still existing,,, then people should just leave the market. If you have a good altcoin, it will grow, if you are patient. If you have a shit one which 99% of altcoins are, then better give up now and invest in stocks.

Well although they are on the same boat right now but come to think how profitable of bitcoins if you are doing a short trades right now and many people who do trades are actually happy those people who only get upset at this scenario are the people who doesn't have knowledge and get trap by huge market downfall. And I don't know why you still didn't think about  the people's choice on crypto since if you think about cryptocurrencies you will about bitcoins and you surely need bitcoins to trade that's why the demand rise up and could help for immediate and long term pumps.

This part is the reason and answer to OP's question. Is unfortunate, but if project builders were sincere with investors, the crypto market cap would have been very high because more investors will join but now they are all scared and not supporting new project and just buying bitcoin. This is the reason that the price of bitcoin is that high.

The current condition of altcoins is not good at all. I think it is because of lack of interest from investor it self. The investor more likely to invest on bitcoin rather than altcoins/ico/ieo. But i hope something good happen and altcoins will rise again.

New investors are not interest to invest in the such bearish market. Last two months i found huge promising projects coming but ultimately they unable to satisfied to new investors. Top coins are good stable but what is going on the others cryptocurrencies.

Your thoughts might be correct that new investors now are not interested or see not good for altcoins even bitcoin because market are totally bleeding even bitcoin have difficult to rise up because of any controversial happens and news about closings of many exchanges in china. it maybe affect and many investors are retreating. but I am hoping for new day and new start of greens in 2020.

It is undeniable that the more investors enter this business, the greater the opportunity to grow market prices, but I think there are still doubts from people who want to try to invest in this field so they feel worried that market prices will get worse. but I'm sure if the market price has increased a bit, it will automatically be able to invite most investors, this has been proven when the market price surge is high enough to occur in 2017 yesterday, of course, can invite more investors because they don't want to be left behind to be able to invest before the market price rises more sharply

Growth does not always happen every day. Growth is an unusual thing to do every day, as the process of growth occurs gradually.
So it will be very good with a safe growth in the ever-increasing comfort. This belief brings real progress as well as the steady state of the Altcoin. Able to use a good opportunity to continue to support and still trust the growth in the next period.

New investor will always come to this investment but they aren't spend a huge money on it just because they still have a doubt when they choose it. I have some of my friend who fell in love to bitcoin and some altcoin, although I have told to them how profit that will get if they are invest to bitcoin they still have a doubt. Especially related to regulation, there are still a few countries who have a bad opinion to cryptocurreny which they think its price will goes down any time.

What could be the outcome if the market won't be better? Are we going to quit or just let our asset sleep for years? This isn't good enough to deal with, because as a trader I need to earn good profit. So, if big whales will no make some moves next year I guess people won't survive but rather quit with cryptocurrency.

This is we really observe the market condition these past months no altcoins movement and not growing. Investors needs to see the project is really worth it that they can earn profit. When btc decline somehow alts affected. Well, more likely they will invest in bitcoin more than altcoins as they see the chance to earn profit big.

Well that reason why altcoin isn't growing these days are altcoins are great affected in bitcoin's price crash since the altcoins relies on bitcoin although altcoin markets is good these days but bitcoin price crash was the reason altcoins price crash too and also, people are now preparing on bitcojn halving so, people are saving their btcs for potential bullrun

Most of the altcoins price are stagnant at the moment but that doesn't mean non of them has risen in price. There are many coins that had a spectacular rise compared to their initial price. For an example almost all of the tokens in Binance ICO are trading at a higher price than they were sold for.

Not much different from other projects and has a good picture or dream in the next few months and ends with something unclear. Some are not produce anything and waste time.

I think many new projects are being launched even today that will succeed when the market turns. A good project should be able to survive even in the toughest times. If a project does not have it's own capital to cover overhead for at least two years without any sizable investment from investors. They have no business launching a project in the first place. YES a project launching today without proper resources will starve. Another strategy is it is often best to launch in this time while its quit. Gives teams time to build slowly without a lot of people stressing them out. Many amazing projects from years ago did exactly that. You look at [ANN] dates and it was in the slowest of bear crypto winters. They grew from the bear market and had ducks in a row for the bull markets and succeeded . Projects coming out trying to make a project off investor money will starve right now . Look for the projects not asking for ICO, presale or any kind of investment to survive.

Alternative crypto currencies on the market are operating day by day, losing power and value because Bitcoin has achieved a very serious market dominance. Due to this strong domination, the prices of other crypto currencies change according to the Bitcoin price movements and continue to decline in the long term. Of course, the only reason for this decline is not dominance, because there are too many alternative options in the market. If we want to distinguish successful crypto coins with bright future and good technology, we can see that such crypto coins are very few and even they are losing value. According to today's data, there are 4904 crypto currencies in the market. Since there are so many options in a developing market, the price scale is usually only declining.

yep ... now crypto looks like a place to play money. When it booms the price is goes up, but afterwards it continue to goes down then dies and is forgotten. The worst, this flow continues to repeat until finally many investors and traders are frustrated.

It's unnoticeable due to the market downfall, many altcoins are not performing especially those new projects which mostly abandoned by the investors
after being listed to exchange. A lots of those projects died naturally and ain't able to survive to this kind of market situations. It's hard to predict and anticipate how the entire alts market will move and surprise the investors.

I couldn't agree more. Projects these days are crap, investors are not interested anymore in buying precioius words that they already heard on the past scam projects. Does the bearish affects it? I guess not, a year or two back then the price is pretty low but there are willing investors to fund the project until it becomes successful which I think the price of coin does not have any involvement on this. From 2017 until now, you can see the listed projects on exchanges that has entered dormancy on which on any way can't get up because devs already abandoned it. I cannot blame our investors why they are not interested in altcoins anymore, what happened to the market of altcoins is so cruel.

In the first words you say that the market is not stable, and a moment later that it is not so bad and growing. :)
In my opinion, stabilization is quite nervous and investors are uncertain about what will happen in the coming weeks. However, I believe that the price drops have already ended and now we will only observe stable price increases.

I think there is serious stability in the market. I've been losing money for a long time. This is an example of stability. Aside from the joke, these moving prices attract people to this market. Price movements that cannot be experienced in normal markets are experienced in this market. Bitcoin and altcoins are exciting things.

There are lots of prediction on altcoins but it is difficult to trust any of those predictions and make decision with it. What is more important is to choose a good project irrespective of the general market, A good project will definitely thrive and reliable team will deliver. Only the project before bullrun with bad run can have a different investment plan.

It is actually because the market is not in the good condition just like what happened last two years ago. Because as we have all experienced that time, almost all of the projects that time really gone successful because there are lots of investors taking their money into a particular project to support it. They are confident that this particular project is going to be sucessful, it is all about actually the value of every altcoin. But maybe if the market recovers, good projects are coming back. There are still good projects at tuis time but investors are choosing to hold their tokens.

I think new investors now are not interested in investing in the new project, and they change to invest in bitcoin and altcoin at the market. They have a bad experience before so they search for the other thing that can make the profit. The altcoin itself now still trying to grow although it's not too fast, and we can see the history this year. Maybe in the next year will be a time for an altcoin to start to grow again, and if that happens, then we will going to see the bull market comes again.

After the explosion of scams two years ago, the altcoins lost all their credibility, and it's a shame because there were so many good projects.
Let's hope someone survives, we'll see how it ends in the future.

Later Q1 of 2018, worst time was starting then we Bitcoin pump this year. We know top is bleeding day by day, same to new coin. Later Q2 2020 altcoins season could come, altcoins season won't stay long. Eventually after Q1 of 2021 total coinmarketcap volume will bullrun then top coin and altcoins will run until 2022.

IMO, the bear market is the first reason we should look at it. After making decent research, I think not to invest in the altcoins due to the poor results. The exponential growth is possible under normal market conditions, otherwise, it becomes a hassle for crypto investors.

I am not totally blaming market condition, most projects arose based on the HYPE of 2017 without any real use cases and is an eye-opener for most investors

It is simply because of the lack of support from crypto community. There are only few altcoins that are surviving in the market and those coins are the potential ones because of the good support from crypto community. Altcoins have low volume can be considered as shitcoins and these coin are garbage one and these coins should be avoided.

I also view the bear market as having a large effect on alts not doing too well recently. Alts were rallying mostly ahead of Bitcoin's peak in the upper $13Ks and have mostly been declining since, though the fundamentals of most coins still haven't changed very much in the time from when that all happened.

I don't know if 2020's going to be the year when the crypto markets in general start to take off again, but I do know that volatility's very real with crypto and we could be in a long ride either up or down next year. I'm still accumulating accordingly to prepare for either case.

The investors are always there but most of them are still sleeping because of market condition and most of the projects right now are having difficulty in reaching their target cap.

Active investors right now are like 40% if we are going to compare to last 2017 in which most of the investors are very active. If the market will start to shift in 2020 then altcoins will start to grow again together with the awakening of old and new investors.

yes you are right op the altcoin market continues to decline because it does not get new investors. Investors are afraid to invest in Altcoin because most Altcoin projects are scams, so new investors prefer investing in Bitcoin over Altcoin. so bitcoin dominates the crypto market and makes altcoin prices fall even more. but I'm sure when bitcoin pumps most of altcoin will also pump even though it will take time.

support from the crypto community is indeed very influential under the current conditions. we know for the time being to find new investors is very difficult, so to survive as if using internal strength. for altcoin with a small volume of course it will be even more difficult because the community will leave it before altcoin is worthless

Normally what happens is that the investor gives a max 12 to 18 months for a particular project. If it shows no sign of progress even after this period, then the investors will dump it and move on to some other project. And right now the final phase of dumping is happening for most of the smaller altcoins. Only a very small number of investors are still holding them, and even they are looking for exit strategy. Even I have a large number of alts in my wallet, including BSD, DNR, GBYTE, BTX, WPP.etc. But all these coins are down by up to 90%.

Many factors support bad prices or undesirable things happening right now. This is the path that you have to go through right now until where it comes back with good prices and the awaited benefits.

The market is generally trading sideways with no major cause for interest from either the cryptocurrency space or new investors.  For prices to rally(BTC and alts), there has to be something to spark the interest of traders and investors.  That catalyst is presently lacking and prices could easily drop so everyone is sitting on their hands.  I know I am.

altcoin these days are not growing, but also in a downward trend. There are a lot of things going on including the investors who don't trust and don't care anymore. really bad.

no need to sit and wait for good prices. you need to start exploring this market better, because even all these two years when the prices for altcoins and BTC were very low, I continued to make good money. There are a lot of opportunities for earning in the cryptocurrency market. no matter what happens to the price. save up cryptocurrency and when the green market comes you will be rich

I believe that we are very close to the beginning of a new growth, what kind of growth this will be, I can’t say, but just because we don’t see the growth of altcoins does not mean that there are no investors. I want to note that now there are off-exchange platforms where cryptocurrency is very actively bought and sold, however, these trades do not affect the price, since trading on crypto exchanges affects the price. I think, as soon as large players are sufficiently purchased by cryptocurrency on off-exchange exchanges, then they will begin to raise the price through crypto exchanges.

I am watching out for the next run of bitcoin, if the last run this year brought that size of dominance for bitcoin and other altcoin could not recover till now. It could be worse if the dominance got the same trend in next run and suffocate the altcoins.I will be watching Ethereum especially on this, Its reaction in the market will be a determinant factor for most altcoins. I just wish it could maintain the 0.02 btc for the major part of the run

Probably too many newcomers lost money during 2018, so they are a bit wary of reinvesting into crypto right now. We'll need to wait for whales to make their move -- if they start pushing up alts, then other money may begin to flow in.

OKex published a news today. Many altcoins are off the list. Different exchanges may show similar behavior. The market needs to be strengthened again. I think that way. Cleanliness is a must. Watch out for the subcoins in your bag. Keep them out of the list.

Time is really just an illusion and the idea of something great will happen in the next few weeks is what brings hope in this industry. After all, you wouldn't reach your goals if you let yourself get eaten by despair. This dull state of the market hopefully be gone as the year changes to a new start. Investors are a lot more careful now because of the past experiences. As bounty hunters, we should also be more picky which projects are to promote too.

Actually, it is not that investors aren't coming but rather it is that these investors are now wise and careful of the projects the invest in. They are now highly selective and not the normal hype that project release that goes about drawing investors. Secondly, am not good with prediction so I am not expecting much so as not to get sad but however, am still expectant as well. 

The price of altcoin is influenced by bitcoin. If bitcoin dominance does not go down and still goes up, Altcoin has no chance to recover and reach a higher price.
In 2020 many predict the market will improve. The deteriorating market is also caused by many scam projects, so investors are afraid to invest in crypto and prefer bitcoin because it is a safer choice.

People are afraid to invest in altcoins due to its performance after reaching the peak price. Majority of alts are declining and some can't recover even btc is showing improvement, it shows that not all alts can bounce back and follow the steps of btc. Even many investors are looking forward for 2020 still there's no assurance the market will turn better but we should stay positive and bullish, who knows bull run will happen after halving.

For the time being, I don't think new investors want to be too hasty in starting to invest because maybe they think the current market conditions are not the right time to invest or they are doubtful they can make a profit from the coins they will buy later. I personally for now only invest in a few coins that I think have the opportunity to make a profit.

That is the disadvantage these days and even us we actually doubting to buy now since  there's always a threat for a dump which can make us lose if we put a wrong entry on our trades. But provably on next  year we can see a massive buy since there is a halving which can give a great confidence to new holders since the statistic history gives a good track for what will happen on that time and for sure there will be more positive article that will spread for helping the hype coming brought by those events.

if bitcoin price movements improve maybe altcoin prices could also have the potential to improve, if 2020 will happen like this, then we have to prepare ourselves to start investing. and do your research beforehand so that everything goes according to the plan that was made.

Crypto market conditions now seem to be less moving, perhaps this was the influence of the project year yesterday with many fake projects so many investors are less interested in altcoins. I see indeed the Altcoin movement is still the way in place. But it's possible that investors and traders are still monitoring the altcoin market because at the moment they haven't dared to get in. They wait for Bitcoin up, maybe from there altcoin can spur the price.

I think crypto is growing all the time and lately many people who know crypto will automatically make crypto increase every time so I think crypto has a good future

Altcoin this year can be said to be not as good as 2017. The market is getting worse with a lot of scam projects or no limited capital investors. Moreover, cryptocurrency is mostly restricted by many countries, so altcoins are in a bad period

Many investors prefer to invest in bitcoin only because it seem safer for them than investing in altcoins, i belief that once altcoin market start recovering many bitcoin investors will switch

I think the reason is most of they sell their tokens to buy gift in Christmas and New Year. I believe this is the main reason, why ? Because this is always happened in last year before.

Crypto Market has been in bad shape since 2018 after ATH of bitcoin and till date there is no new improvement yet, though this doesn't stop the steady but slow adoption rate, people should start looking at the big picture instead of worrying about market condition, its only a matter of time that many new investors will come around

In my opinion, one of the reasons altcoin isn't growing right now is because of the lack of new investors as you said. indeed lately many altcoin prices have experienced very significant price declines. hopefully early next year altcoin will grow rapidly and investors will grow even more.

A bunch of factors that accompany this! Endless competition, endless profit of money, a large number of scammers, a large number of inexperienced teams and their ill-conceived projects, and accordingly the lack of a good product, as well as all the commissions that prevent the industry from developing properly.

Once again the Altcoin has decreased. It can not be blasphemy that Altcoin will experience a deterioration. This will cause the Altcoin to not grow properly. It is natural to have a rise down. But the current decline is slightly sensitive. So the thing that needs to be done is to continue developing investment so that the stock price of Altcoin continues to increase and produce additional value that composes the future of Altcoin.

Currently the market has not shown signs of growth, the price of Bitcoin and most altcoins are still very low, most have reached the bottom. In my opinion, this is because there are so many scammers, endless competition and profits. There are so many bad products, some teams are unprofessional that lead to their projects badly. I hope that 2020 will be a better year for the cryptocurrency market and the price of Bitcoin will break $ 20,000

It is better for the overall altcoin market to see a lot of altcoins at the bottom because it will become the reason for them to be forgotten. I believed that 2020 will become the year for both bitcoin and altcoin and today's low prices are opportunity for long term investor to buy now and make tons of profit later.

Yes, it can be said that many investors today are afraid to invest, especially with new projects. as we have seen many new projects are scams. on the other hand altcoin currently tends to decrease in the influence of several factors such as the lack of investor adoption and the price of major coins which do not rise significantly. if BTC can penetrate $ 10 thousand or more, maybe altcoin can follow the price movements of the BTC.

So in your opinion, what will bring investors to this market next year, I think Bitcoin halving events are not attractive enough to attract them. We need large financial institutions to invest in this market, at which time can look forward to an exciting altcoins market as in the past. At the moment, it's just a bitcoin game.

Today's investors seem to be preparing, they actually want to invest. but they try to see a good situation opportunity, so that their investment does not lose. so I think now in 2020 investors will be very easy to be there and help crypto experience a significant increase

Everyone who is in cryptocurrency would want it back and it is true since 2018 that the price of some coins began to fall and by the end of 2019 it was not in line with expectations, I think there investors began to hesitate and many chose to take a break. For 2020 alone it is difficult to predict the likelihood of this happening and at the moment I am more focused on how I can survive in the cryptocurrency market.

I agree. The market is not getting the interest and attention from the new investors nowadays which I think is one of the main reasons why the market is continuously going down in terms of price and value which we can already see from Bitcoin down to the various kinds of Altcoins present in the market. Maybe also one of the main reasons that I can see it the trauma caused by failed projects which are some or most of them are scams causing potential investors to back out and withdrawing their attention towards investing into crypto. I do also hope and most probably we all share the same feeling and thoughts that as year 2020 gets into our calendar, things will be better compared to what we currently have right now. Even though a fast phase on pricing is impossible to happen, I still hope that in the span and range of 2020, we can have a great news to come.

In the past of day altcoins almost loss enough for pumping up as bitcoin price it also connected. While bitcoin is pumping and dumping it will like as same flows for their prices.

this break has gone for a long time, the market now is no longer be the same with 2018, not all altcoins are really worthy ro invest for long term and because altcoins are only from ICOs and ICOs nowadays was so suck and scams so that why investors are loosing trust on new cryptos investment, they will soon sell out as soon as they have profit, not holding it for long term.

altcoins these days have no purpose . The projects these days are made of glossy pictures... futuristic websites "appearance of competence"  outlandish claims AI ect. .They have all these wild claims they can make "platforms" . They can build ... They have ZERO codebase or coding examples they are even close to competent of achieving project goals

if we look at bitcoin dominance, it can go down so fast
the meaning is, altcoin can go up anytime, that's one of good thing

I agree with this. many shitcoins make investors affraid to invest
so, no one wanna buy altcoins anymore. if this still contiues, it would be bad
sometimes, I would wanna say thanks to manipulators who still makes pump and dump
at least, crypto doesnt only continue to dump

we all want to believe that in 2020 all investments will bring big profits, but now the situation on the cryptocurrency market is very sad and there are no signs that would indicate a price increase in the near future. Now it is best to wait and see how further developments in the market develop. only after you clearly understand that growth has begun - then you should invest

Altcoins are really not growing because of the high rate of scams projects out there, many investors have been scammed and many are from fake owners which their intentions are to scam and run. Many investors have gone bankrupt because of fake projects so investors are wiser than sapent and many are really not investing like before.

   We can't expect alt-coins to grow everyday, it would be like some magic show. Reality is different, every alt-coin
have good and bad days, crypto-market is more volatile then any other market, that's why we see price movement
going in both directions all the time.
   I think we will see many more good and bad days, but in long-term prices will grow a lot.

Because they lose money when investing, therefore investors lose their interest and prefer BTC compared to altcoin. But take it easy there is still hope if altcoin will pump and almost everyone hopes it will happen in 2020

You said it in your first sentence, the crypto market is not doing as great. We're in a bear market.

We know that in the two years 2018 and 2019 there are a lot of scam projects or altcoin projects that are not scams but coins cannot last long on the altcoin market. so this makes investors afraid to invest in altcoin. and most of altcoin makes bitcoin as a reference so that when bitcoin has decreased then most altcoins also go down. this makes the altcoin market situation worse. I think this is what causes altcoin to not grow and continue to decline. hopefully next year bitcoin pumps so that altcoin can grow again. I'm sure the top altcoin can pump when we've entered the bull market.

Many of the new projects do not meet the requirements of a potential project with a real product, new investors are not interested in investing they just don't want to take risks in an unstable market, there are investors who save their money on old projects that have real products, in in 2020 there will be an increase and when it will happen it will be very difficult for us to predict and analyze strongly considering the very fluctuating prices

They are fake in the first place that made them being ignored by the investors. If these projects would like to hit their target, they should have to be realistic, not just live with promises. For a number of new altcoins existed today, only a few of them have a good market volume and most of them are dead already.

Altcoin keep waiting when bitcoin growing up? if bitcoin can stay with lower price not possible for altcoin become on higher price and we most waiting too long get much profit with altcoin, many altcoin have drop with lower price during bitcoin keep lower price last one year and never get back to higher again, which this end year become good moment for bitcoin and altcoin back to higher price?

I can't blame them. There's a lot of scammer and projects coming out isn't that appealing simply because they are just shitcoin. Investors seems getting smart when it comes to scam. We all know only few altcoins survive and only few altcoins are being added as good and lots of them are waste of time and money. If you want to see altcoin's grow, wait for bitcoin to make a move and altcoins will follow. Hopefully by 2020 or 2021 we can see it.

To say the truth we have too many altcoins in crypto space and many of them are just bad eggs, which ever altcoins you decide to invest on is all on you, make sure you pick good altcoins only, check their real reason of existence, if they are not good enough do not buy

The condition of altcoin is not good in my opinion because of the dominance of Bitcoin in a very large market even reaching more than 65% of the market cap value. The fear factor of new investors might happen but in my opinion new investors will start to enter if the price of Bitcoin can reach above $ 10k. Hopefully 2020 can be a turning point year

Of course, if I were the investor, I will also do the same thing. Scammers keep coming and there is no point to continue investing if they will end up on one end which is becoming a victim of scammers.
It might be the trigger for altcoins if bitcoin will pump, it is expected to happen this coming 2020 but there are still no guarantee that altcoins will really follow.

what you say is the parts when doing research, we do have to have a reason to choose altcoin to invest because altcoin does not have much potential. maybe at the moment it's hard to expect altcoin to grow quickly because the market potential isn't yet good and I think it's time to take a break and do some research first to find potential altcoins

From the market perspective, you can say anything but the harsh reality is that the last year 2018 was not brought to any fruitful thing for this cryptocurrency, In that time, a lot of scam project was the main reason for this scenario, people have lost the faith on this cryptocurrency because of losing their money during this year, not only that but also international politics is another vital reason for not growing Cryptocurrency like we previously observed, but I like the slow and steady way to make anything successful along with the sustainable development.

We cannot expect new investors considering the current condition of the market. No one will ever dare enter an investement with a very high risk. Not everyone will believe that sooner or later, the crypto market will be full of green marks again. We may have supportive evidence that crypto can make a comeback in the future but it woud be really hard to convince a new investor to believe so. We need to help crypto gain its composure once again to attract new investors and we can only do that by patronizing it still amidst the crisis we are facing.

The reason why altcoins are not going? I would say it's because a substantial amount of the money that is being invested in cryptocurrency is going into Bitcoin and not altcoins. And a lot of investors have been selling their altcoins and buying Bitcoin, that has contributed to the major fall of altcoins. Another problem is all the shitcoins in the market that keep ruining everything (that's another long story).

Everyone now has their attention on Bitcoin and a lot of influencers are contributing to that by telling investors that follows them that altcoins are never going to make it, so they should only invest in Bitcoin. Just like around September when Keiser warns that altcoins are not coming back, a lot of Investors got scared and pulled out their money and started investing in Bitcoin causing the dominance to hit 70%.

Yes so many question about on when be gonna be growing the price and Ill think they answer it already, But as we always predicting on it and when gonna happen for the altcoins start to increase the price. Actually I just seen also in the past year that need for bitcoin to increase before altcoins increase the price also but not all altcoins maybe those only a popular coins that we know.

I we look back at the time of bull run in the year of 2017 some altcoins are very active and the prices are most increasing so much.
But now it was disappointing to see some altcoins are always drop the price, We are waiting for them to came back again because we always waiting about them to recover again so that we can trade into a high price.

Honestly, I think you guys are too paranoid about the price of the altcoin market downtrend because the last time i checked the capital market and some altcoin chart, there are still some altcoin which still follow the trend of the bitcoin market. Yes, investors focus on bitcoin but also focus on some altcoin too.


You're about the statement made by so.e influencer people but don't you think this is just an act of making the price of the altcoin market to dump while they accumulate it in cheap and make a huge gain when the altcoin season arrives?
 Pls people be wise

and why would they loose money at the first place if they will only knew how to pick up a good alt and if they will only knew how to hodl and trade i think there will be no loosers on here but there are still loosers and they dont easily loose thier interest on doing the same thing because they also want to recover  .  and if its true that people are now switching in btc , why is that btc price is still verry low up to the moment of this writing  ? oh well lets hope that our hopes will occur next year

People are still investing in altcoins and same as Bitcoin too, the realbfact about price surge is if new waves of investors get into crypto space with big money then market will change, adoption is slowly increasing and its only a matter if time before we see another huge crypto wild chase

it's really hard to find easy money in market especially in trading
altcoin trading is profitable but it is also very risky and stressful
because the market will not always favor in you

maybe it will be a little better though not necessarily true.
Early 2020 the government and banks in Germany have adopted crypto, then in the middle of the year Libra coins from Facebook will appear.
so there will be a new comer, and investors will start to re-enter, this is only an estimate, hopefully it's true.

Most altcoins are short lived most of them are pump and dump coins some of them only last months or years that's why i keep away from altcoins as much as possible, but if im going to invest in it i rather pick one in the top list of crypto currencies. Still no one can replace btc that's why i hold even though its small, it's the best bet for me especially im not really experienced in trading, that's why i prefer safer assets even though its not much of an investment.

Yeah most alts don't have enough potential to stay long term, most don't even have a reasonable service to provide, so there is nothing to sustain the price overtime, this is reason why most of the 2017/18 project have no value now, the devs of this products just have an empty tokens without any backup to give value.

Well they're actually growing but what's the best thing is to wait for them to go up as buying in deep will don't always work all the time. Another one is because of the bitcoin wherein it is very volatile and so the altcoins handled by the people they might may even more affected.

if you are expert in trading and it's not so hard to do that and so many people in the market can create a lot of bucks everyday. But we must back to the topic about why altcoin is not growing these days and so many pressure come from the bitcoin and the regulators that make altcoins is growing very slow at this moment.
trading is about how you can adopt the situation in the market.

I see many altcoins games over of this year 2019 and who is person looking a new project now their take boring. I can tell something if the bitcoin price will go up 15k$ then the altcoins market can be jump again like before year 2017.

The lack of investors is also one of the reasons why altcoins are not in demand right now so it is not rising. Another is the disbelief of the word hold because we have seen what has become an impact on altcoin holders since last year. The way they use altcoins today is for trading just because they buy and sell so the price doesn't go up.

The hope that everyone wants is Halving Bitcoin, because this is an event that will give a positive value to the price of bitcoin. Maybe before or after halving the price will go up. let's watch together in 2020, hopefully in accordance with predictions said by many people.

Actually what is needed is crypto-world positive things and the adoption of the use of a real blockchain. But that turned around, altcoin was unable to beat the current bad market trends, and it was all filled with manipulation. Making new investors a little hesitant with current conditions, so it's only natural. Investors or whales that have mastered the moment, take a lot of gaps to get more profit. New projects do not currently dominate crypto-world needs, only projects that have new strategies and ideas that make them able to compete. New investors tend to prioritize a prospect, and current market conditions do not support it all.

It may be just because investors are losing their interest in altcoins. Or it maybe alcoins operate in cycle and they are operating in the cycle of decline. As we see the trend of bitcoin, the coin is doing well in the market as compared to altcoins. So we can draw the conclusion that bitcoin is taking over the market of cryptocurrency. Forget altcoins.

The only reason why altcoins are not growing or increasing it's price these days is because bitcoin's price is down to 7,146 USD today, that is why we are all facing bear market today. If the price of bitcoin increases altcoins will also increased, and if the price of bitcoin decreases altcoins will also decreased because the price of bitcoin affects the price of every altcoin.

yes for now it is like that, but don't underestimate altcoin, you can see the potential of altcoin when prices decline like this, Ethereum, Waves, XRP, XTZ are a concern because a lot of good news from them, Waves has gone up 20% at a time when bitcoin prices a decline, this could be a sign that Altseason will come, because Waves one of the top 100 coins that has increased dramatically

So many scam coin these days make investors are thinking for a twice to buy altcoin and that must be the correct reason why there is no a lot of growth in the price of altcoin these days.
When it comes to the good altcoins and you will not find a difficult chart to grow caused by it's a reputable coin.
bitcoin is not yet taking over the market.

Thats basically, having low attraction of investor can cause bearish market but not all of them suffers bearish market right now.

Example the ATOM (Cosmos) i has good volatily these days and it keeps on surging its price up.

it is so stupid. how can you forget about altcoins now if bitcoin can not do anything yet? it is very slow and BTC has expensive transactions. he is simply not comfortable. now there are a lot of altcoins that are better than bitcoin and until bitcoin will become more capable - altcoins will always remain on the market

Having many shitcoins on daily basis will not yield anything positive rather negative impacts. Basically, we expected this year to be an altcoins year before the bitcoin halving but we have seen the opposite due to many shitcoins we called Altcoins. This too much shitcoins have made some gullible potential investors handicap till date, many are afraid to invest.

One thing I had noticed even before is that there is no real development to the side of altcoins. If there are great major impact for them, probably price will increase. I think they need to have a new plan on how they can ride with market. They need to make future plans for the growth of their cryptocurrency. But as of now, they just need to depend on bitcoin price.

Perhaps raising the altcoin price at this time is very difficult. As the market goes down. Countries are banning the use of cryptocurrencies for exchange.

Not only is there a lack of new investors, altcoin is bleeding because investors are waiting for a reversal of the price of bitcoin to rise if the price of bitcoin has entered a bullish period investors will buy altcoin because they are not afraid if the price of bitcoin falls again

Altcoin is still not possible to rise. BTC prices are still unstable and greatly affect altcoin prices.
Altcoin does not go up either because altcoin projects are full of scam projects. It takes time for altcoin to recover prices.

 I think this could be caused by the general downward in crypto  market . let us hope altcoins  will pick up during the bull run.

indeed the current bullish trend has not yet come, so the bearish trend still dominates, so it is not surprising if we see a bloody market in a duration that is more numerous than a verdant market. take advantage of this opportunity to invest is the best way to make a profit. sometimes it is the panic that makes us lose capital

In the first place, what we could expect if the market went down? Of course, we couldn't see that altcoins will be soaring high if the market struggles at the dip. What it holds them to move high is just because the life of altcoins(most) are dependable to Bitcoin and badly it says that Bitcoin isn't really performing well which I think that it will curse also to altcoins market performance.

Surely in the past years, a lot of scam ICO's was done and a lot of investors in ICOs get scam also the token don't even make it in the market,
companies and developer of the token do not maintain the token a lot of investors already afraid to invest their money also they already learn that this ICO is just a complete scam.
Most of the time investment here in cryptocurrency is already risky since the market price depends on supply and demand of the token but as time passes the trust in this kind of project is already gone.

It's one of the problems that arises today but from all sides that badness continues to emerge even though it is from the price of a coin or a project that isn't in line with people's expectations.

no increase now does not mean that this situation will continue. precisely in conditions like now, we can see how the project was developed seriously or not by the developer. if we see a lot of projects giving up to run for reasons that the market is not good, then we can judge how the performance of their developers. and we can determine attitudes with the investment we will make.

maybe there are still other factors that influence the current condition of the crypto market, such as a lot of negative news about crypto, many investors lose confidence which makes them reluctant to invest in the market. on the one hand, project fraud has killed almost all of this cryptoqurrency space. and the last point I believe is that the market will not be in this bad situation and there may be a time when investors return to take part again and the market can recover fully.

I think most of us agree more or less that every altcoin that's actually worth anything is currently undervalued by 80%-90%. What's worrying is that under the current circumstances, a lot of new interesting projects are unable to flourish because we've been in a bear market too long and people are afraid to invest, while during the bull market, a lot of shit coins managed to do just fine (until they collapsed and disappeared, of course, but people gained money before that happened and then dumped on unsuspected people).

That's why I'm always on the lookout for new interesting projects, it helps to inform people if there's something worth checking out. Even in 2017 where there were literally thousands of scams, I did find a few gems thanks to getting information from the right people and spreading information in return.

Now, as we are nearing the end of 2019, I found a relatively new project called Helios which seems like a diamond in the rough. It's a scalable decentralized blockchain protocol with smart contracts and a decentralized web platform that has been planned for the future. It is self-funded, there's no ICO or anything of the sort. Their website is https://heliosprotocol.io

As this project is in the process of developing and growing, it would help to spread awareness. The team has invited anyone who would want to help spread the word to sign up to the Helios Army (which might sound aggressive as a name but it's actually comprised of people who care about the project and want to see it thrive). People who sign up can even be reimbursed for the time they invest in it with Helios' own coin, HLS. The link is here https://heliosprotocol.io/public_airdrops/helios_army.php

The reason I that there's really no new money in crypto unlike in 2 years ago, instead funds are continually being taken from the already depleted crypto market. So there's no new demand and as such prices are suffering.

The major reasons behind the non reinvestment into the cryptocurrency market is that; many investors had made investment and take nothing home late in 2017 till date. Although I share the same  view with you but, I will say this; the market fell due to the scams that got into the system late 2017. Although, let watch 2020 for recovery of the cryptocurrency industry.

With that we continue to look for projects that you don't think are bad with what is happening right now. The development team will continue to think of developing something that does not make people interested in their eyes.

Yes no matter what is it but if people expectations will not be fulfilled they will talk bad about it the same they are doing with Altcoin. As much as i know crypto are so volatile and it has to change price because of volatility so people should understand the situation and instead of talking bad it’s much better to understand and hold their coin they should buy more if price of bitcoin or ETH will fall down, it will be better than saying it bad.

That is just one of the many reasons why altcoins are not growing anymore, but one of the most important is that investors have lost confidence in the altcoin market in general, and you can easily see that this is true because the bitcoin dominance is still very high despite the fact that its price has been going down for months, in theory this should be a golden opportunity for altcoins to shine and to recover some of their value that they had lost and yet it doesn't happen.

Players are there buy not all willing to do same mistake of investing again. Some of them pick the wise choice of buying major coins alone than gamble with this new projects which can be only soure of their red portfolio. Well if they will put in IEO maybe, but remember everyone sell when profits already marked. Of course market will just gain for a while we need solid investors for long term.

people's interest and trust are also decreasing in crypto, I think this is what makes people afraid to buy it. they will be more eager to buy when the price of the rally, with the reason they do not want to miss the moment. even though it would be more profitable to buy when the price slumped

Bad market, trash coin, no innovations, lots of bad news, hackers, scammers, and investors do not care about the coin, I think making an altcoin in this year there is no season.
If the problem above can be solved to a minimum, I think 2020 will be able to be a good altcoin season.

that doesn't make sense, if you are watching the marketcap site and there are some altcoins are still getting a huge demand of even a big pump. You must visit that site and then watch it.
It's possible as long as the developer itself can create FOMO through create a good progress. That's is not an impossible thing.

The alternative market is underperforming at present, in fact, even Bitcoin is considering the halving is not very far away and this month, typically results in some positive price movement so its a wait and see at this stage for new market developments but we might not see much improvement till early next year

Hope, if the thing you explained earlier cannot be completed in 2020 there will be no sweet dreams next year and it will get worse as time goes by. Although everyone hopes that this storm will end and see the eyes of the day shine with beautiful blue sky. ;)

you should not give up earlier because we can still make a profit in other ways while waiting for the market to grow again, you must survive and find another way to stay alive. altcoin will definitely grow, especially for altcoin which has potential so now we have to survive.

How can you say that the altcoins are not growing? The Bitcoin dominance according to the coinmarketcap right now is around 66.5%. It was around 70% a few months back. So the market share of altcoins are increasing for sure. But then, I don't expect the shitcoins to go up for no particular reason. The spike may be limited to the coins that have real usage.

because the dominance of btc is increasing, alt prices will continue at least that is the reality now because more and more projects are unclear.
then investors prefer to put their money in bitcoin, which causes its dominance to increase, and Alt is getting behind.

Obviously, the reason why altcoins are not growing because bitcoin is not yet improving it's price, that is why bitcoin has a huge effect in the market that every altcoins gets affected whenever bitcoin increases or decreases it's price. But on the top of that we really need new investors to make altcoins grow these days.

if altcoin isnt possible to rise, it doesnt make sense. bcz there are altcoins can rise right now

But if most of altcoin is down, it is right. bcz this is bearish market, just a few of altcoin can rise

so, it is just how smart we are to choose the good altcoin to rise, if we wanna survive in this time.

Perhaps you have not always noticed
But altcoins have always grown
Just that only worthwhile and valueable altcoins do that

Several examples are there on coinmarketcap such as XIN
Just duor

Can you blame them? That's a harsh reality of trading some will prefer to be safe and sound from a loss. Me too, I will prefer btc over some cheap altcoins which isnt sure to give me some fortune. Altcoins will grow simultaneously with btc and individual assesment of altcoins is hard aside from those top coins such as eth, xrp and bch. Those coins I can little bit change but for new ones no, definitely not especially those come from IEO.

That's the safest thing right now, but if you don't have some good new types of coins then you will lose in my opinion because they also have great potential to grow in the future.

The reason why altcoin is not growing these days is possibly because of the Bull market of 2017 is overly hyped.  So when the price goes beyond its actual value, the tendency is to go down until it hits its actual price value before making it growth again.  Another thing is the scam projects during those hype years. Lots of investors got scammed so probably the next wave of investors are kinda hesitant to enter the crypto market until the time they regain their trust on the crypto market/industry.

It is obvious that altcoins are still gaining value from time to time but those coins are an exception to the rule because what we are seeing is that most altcoins are losing value against fiat and against bitcoin and what it is even worse most of those coins will never recover, so in my opinion even if you can get a lot of profits with altcoins it is not really worth the risk of losing your capital for it, it is better to invest in bitcoin and take a very slow approach to the markets that while not as profitable the risks are many times lower.

I agree, that investors are now more alert to investing in new projects. There are too many projects that are scam so as to make investors lose. Therefore now new investors are less interested in investing in crypto. Hopefully the year 2020 towards halving BTC will be a lot of new investors to invest in crypto.

I think down trend will running more longer than last year, I don't see any specific movement in crypto market. We only have hope next year crypto will rise again but we should not stop to get alternative income out side crypto world. If bitcoin die/ scam at lest we have back up method to cover our fund. You can say I'm not optimist person and the answer is I realistic people.

Investors are getting lower they seem to have no interest like the old days of ICOs, now investors are smart enough to know what is good for them, on IEO part no top exchange no investing

I guess in the next year the market will be better than this today. I think some big investors are not yet to jump in the market because the condition in the market is not good.. Maybe they will jump in if the market starting to increase and pump will happen.

Many altcoins are total waste of time and money so investors have finally come to realize that if a altcoin have no real use case it will never do better, still many shit coins keeps showing up, i am glad many investors now smart

If we look back at the past year there are more investor in altcoins because these happen have more project are trusted and potentially success of their softcap and hardcap. But as of now they are almost gone because of these many scammers in bounty altcoins and making some fake bounty campaign so some investor are afraid to invest cause of this they dont want or waste their time for a scam project. An we hope it took back on what we experience in the past year so that many investor are willing to invest again.

with your opinion like this, then you conclude that all altcoin is a fraud because you conclude for altcoin only. and in my opinion when investors are smart, surely they can distinguish between altcoin with usecase and without usecase

has entered a stage where every altcoin has to compete to survive, too many rotten coins over the past three years. New investors will not appear significantly if there is no positive climate associated with old investors. 2020 will be an obligation to prove the quality of each coin against market sentiment, regulations will be stronger if the government intervenes too much with new policies for exchange and traded coins.

Altcoin not growing to higher price because depend with bitcoin price keep lower price, almost last one week bitcoin always have lower price and not possibility for altcoin back to higher price. Seeing altcoin with higher price we need bitcoin keep profitable with bitcoin have higher price too to get much effect for altcoin have higher price.

for now we have seen that in various cryptocurency markets it does not have good growth and many worthless altcoins. and in my opinion 2019 was a bad year for cryptocurency because many altcoins like Ethereum could not reach the price of $ 300. Ethereum is only able to move at prices of $ 150 to $ 250. and there are many other altcoins. and in my opinion at the beginning of 2020 it will also not improve as we hoped because now there are already many IEO and ICO scam projects so that interest from investors has diminished.

Look at the Waves project, over the week the growth is 1.5 times in relation to bitcoin, some other altcoins trading on Binance also show good growth, therefore it cannot be said that altcoins do not grow at all.

yeah sure not all alts are going down or have not grown at all but there are still few that shows a signs of growth  and one of them like you mention is wave's coin  .  thats normal though for a coin like wave's because wave's is also a good coin simillar to eth   . not only on binance but you can also see this price on almost any exchange as long as they support it   .  there might be a reason on why other altcoins dont grow well  but dont worry because even the superior btc didnt also grew   .

I think it's not yet the arrival of new investors but because of the dominance of Bitcoin that is still strong in the market. In the midst of uncertainty in world market and economic conditions, investors will definitely prefer to save in secure assets and in the cryptocurrency market, safe assets are Bitcoin.

I believe the whole crypto market depends on bitcoin. Now the price of bitcoin is very low and unstable. As a result altcoins prices are effected. Also many new projects are scam. Investors are losing their capital. They can not trust on crypto. So altcoins are not growing now. But predict of crypto is really very hard. I hope  Crypto can turned to reverse in 2020.

Altcoin not growing these day because bitcoin keep with lower price and allowed how bitcoin going on, looking altcoin have higher price we have wait when bitcoin back with higher price, if bitcoin keep with lower price we have patience waiting for altcoin back to higher price, right now maybe moment for us waiting for bitcoin and altcoin without hurry for investing in crypto.

The root of this is there are too many altcoins in the market of which investors have been scammed from some and as it stands, I guess they are scared of investing expecially on altcoins anymore as they ones did turned out bad. And there is low liquidity too which resulted through many altcoins that has no future and some exchanges listed them. If we keep having thousands of altcoins it will certainly bring the market down the more as it will scare the remaining investors aware. Though crypto market in general is down and I hope next year should be more better and altcoins with future will bounce back.

especially now the situation of the crypto market is in a bad state. the best choice for choosing assets is of course bitcoin. not only because it's safe, but bitcoin has the potential to grow faster compared to other altcoins. it doesn't hurt now that many people are releasing altcoin that they have for bitcoin.

The market has got more matured now, and therefore we can't expect useless shitcoins to amass market capitalization in excess of $100 million. But there is no need to get disheartened. Even this year, the market witnessed many new coins getting listed and giving good returns to the investors. One example is that of UNUS SED LEO. MINDOL and Chainlink are some of the other coins that come to my mind right now.

even now we can see projects that are consistent and earnest to run their platforms. proven with market conditions like this can be a token they can survive and continue to have traded in the market. because some altcoins we can see them dead there is no news and updates. after the downturn now the market is improving, but the current situation can be repeated several times. we must study the situation shown by the crypto market a few years ago.

I disagree with this your thought. We really don't need new investors to decide the market future for us. What we need is mass adoption of the bitcoin or a major adoption of any of the good coin in the market, this will flow in a huge liquid to the market. Make no mistake about it, Cryptocurrency is the way to go, it's only time away.

If that's the case I think altcoin too heavily dependant on bitcoin and if the price trend always follow bitcoin why dont people invest to bitcoin instead since its a lot more secure because of the huge capital, I think if altcoin keep on following bitcoin it will just stuck at where it is and not going to improve. some alts that truly progress even could have bullish market despite bitcoin having downtrend, that's what I mean with not too dependant.

I just hope that there is really a project that will be blemish free that it was conceptualized to just gain money from investors. If there is only a project that is really relevant and is really a solution to a root problem, I think there is a chance that Altcoins will grow rapidly and exponentially.

it's natural because btc also doesn't show an increase so alt will also follow, instead of investors maybe some people still keep the coins they bought 2 years ago because the value is still estimated to be minus 50%,
my hope is that bitcoin and alt will rise, because there will be lots of news, whether it will be good or bad, but it will have an effect.

for this year it seems there is no hope anymore to find projects that have specifications like that, but I'm sure in 2020 there is hope that can provide a good and promising project concept as you wish.

we still hope when this year end. i see good projects will occur again next year. and many bounty hunter will get best reward again. 2018 and 2019 be the worst year for crypto freelancer, most of projects has less quality and we could not earn profit anymore.

yes in the previous years also like that between 2015 -2017 if he saw the whole he should have known there was an increase and also a decrease but showed an increase even though it was a bit long.
and also alt too many scams that reduce investor interest to invest there, it's better to choose the most stable bitcoin of all.

yes there is lack of investor in altcoin today and many people cant hold back because of the holiday
some people need some money to use in holiday
many people also selling altcoin to get more bitcoin because of the incoming halving

Altcoins are becoming greener. The most green so far this week are Cosmos (ATOM) and the Stratis, charts are looking good and they were not dumped recently. Interesting because the top coins are in red for weeks and maybe the whales are giving us a chance to get into it before it will fly. One thing that is very true is that more traders are coming into the market and what they are using right now are exchange tokens BNB and KCS are what they need which its going to be profitable to invest to them.

Probably because bitcoin isnt growing either?

Good old altcoin season will begin only after big strong BTC growth and only if there is no dramatic BTC dump right after this rally. Investors will buy altcoins when they are calm and sure and feel a little FOMO :)

Nevertheless, I think that the bad situation with altcoins arose primarily due to the price dominance of bitcoin. Although these processes are interconnected and affect each other. In any case, the situation should change after some time. The high price of bitcoin and its dominance in the cryptocurrency market depends on trust in it, or rather, on the ability to grow in value. If bitcoin does not meet the expectations of investors, the market situation will quickly change in favor of altcoins.

besides that now is the end of the year, where market behavior tends to decline, this is also experienced by stocks and forex. so this condition adds to the reason why at this time altcoin hasn't shot up as well. bitcoin dominance is very visible, and altcoin as if following the movements of bitcoin

It's a good thing, the market is maturing. You can't always expect "new investors" to coming in and drive up the price. Otherwise it would make the whole crypto look like ponzi scheme lol. The demand should come from people who actually want to use crypto, be it as a payment system or store of value.

Another thing is I think crypto is already mainstream. Most people in the world already know crypto so you can't expect these "new investors" anymore.

The reason why Altcoins are not growing these days is because of lack of confidence from Investors. That is because not all investors are really confident specially they don't really know the altcoins or most of the altcoins are not that strong in the market. Some investors really wanted to have a profit that supporting a good altcoin.

In my own opinion, maybe the reason why altcoins are not growing these days because a lot of investors focuses more in the price of bitcoin or maybe investors are now afraid to invest again due because we are facing a bear market today. Just have patience, everything in crypto will be alright again.

There is such a possibility because what we see in the market is the highly dubious Altcoin movement that makes investors hesitate to invest in it.
and bitcoin will be their choice because only bitcoin moves even though it's slow but will be a better choice than Altcoin, but I'm sure the Altcoin season will arrive and only time will answer and be patient to wait for that season.

I don't really see how you can say that this was a bad year for cryptocurrencies when all coins showed a recovery, it is true that coins like ethereum and most altcoins did not recover as much as bitcoin but that was to be expected, do you really think that after what happened in 2017 investors are going to be very excited to invest in altcoins, of course not, they're going to be interested in investing in bitcoin which is the best coin in the market but nothing else, if altcoins want that to change then they need to improve and that is something that I'm not seeing.

The last days I have seen that.Whether it is Altar coins and BTC, prices are much lower in December.By analyzing each of the alt coins, I have analyzed whether the price increases based on some news.

Alt and BTC price increases are not completely influenced by the news, although there are but only a slight effect, because what I saw and I analyzed, Alt and BTC price increases are absolutely influenced by traders and investors who dare to buy at higher prices.

We must already admit that not all cryptocurrencies will grow in the future, most of the projects will simply leave the market

Altcoin came under pressure after the price of Bitcoin fell sharply to $ 3,500. Bitcoin as the main currency in the crypto market affects the investment behavior of investors and this impacts on altcoin. Not all altcoin will survive but in my opinion altcoin is still needed as an alternative investment in the cryptocurrency market and maybe crypto which is in the top 50 is a promising investment choice

Did you know? Nowadays bitcoin is not performing really well as the expectations of the traders.

Of course, when they are unable to partner with a real company, they will lose the confidence of investors.
we have too much cryptocurrencies, but to be success we only need some altcoins with the best technology.

Most of the projects, there is no meaning of existence, just marketing hype.

It seems like everyone also knows that bitcoin is not performing well at the moment, so right now what everyone wants to know is how to do a good solution to benefit under current conditions.

Ahead of Bitcoin Halving, altcoin is still under pressure and I think it will take longer for altcoin to recover. May Bitcoin Halving be able to raise prices for Bitcoin and make the altcoin market excited again. Admittedly or not, the price of Bitcoin has an effect on the price of altcoin, other than that I think altcoin is still there that can last for the long term

Most of these projects had just one purpose. And that was to make the promoters rich. And in most of the cases, the original purpose is realized. The promoters dumped most of their tokens after triggering the pump-and-dump cycles and in the end most of the tokens were left with the investors. The development stopped after the promoters made their exit. Now the investors have the useless tokens with them, and they can't sell these tokens as they have been delisted from the major exchanges.

so everything will depend on their trust next year because this year the market is not moving as expected, next year there will be some major events that will happen and that's when at least a lot of predictions emerge, but whatever happens later it all is still uncertain of an increase or an big change because we will only wait and be patient for the coming season

but I think that's not entirely true, because what I know when Bitcoin goes up, there is also Altcoin which also goes up in the Fiat pair.  so such thoughts should not be applied to the way we trade.  so as not to miss the moment on Altcoin which also went up.  in fact Altcoin is now in the right entry area for a long-term time frame.  I have started buying it little by little because I am more confident in 2020.

There will be major events but it does not guarantee that the market will show some big recovery.
Altcoins really struggle this year, bitcoin is quite positive as it has increase from sub $3k to $7+ so far, and I think price would stay at that range by the end of the year. I am liking the optimism of the people here, we never loss hope, we didn't achieve our expectation this year, then we move on to another year.

    It's the struggle every year. Stadus you are right, next year there will be major event, but nothing and nobody can give any
guarantees that crypto-market will rise. These major events that everyone mention for the past few months will not affect
the price right away. I think we will need to be patient and to give this major events to happen first, and only after that
we can see some effects on the price.

Sometimes people are trading out their alts for bitcoin, sometimes they’re trading bitcoin for an alt that’s really bumping, but Bitcoin has the most use, most transactions, widest adoption and more. It has more value than altcoins. therefore the price increases and as people find altcoins less valuable, their price decreases. However, I think Altcoins are most likely falling due to the upcoming fork, everyone wants to get free coins, I suspect there will be a big pullout of BTC back into altcoins post fork. Altcoins will continue to grow as adoption spread, and BTC is just the gateway.

I think that all the options for falling and rising prices for altcoin and bitcoin are just simple manipulations and we should not take too seriously to assess why this is happening. we just need to analyze coins and technical analysis. this will give us an understanding of which coins are deserved of manipulation and from which coins you can expect up or down trend

2020 indeed should be better than the current dull state of the market. This season had made many investors to sell their cryptocurrency for fiat mainly because of the expenses. They might also see fit to use other means that do not require transactions through crypto. It's sad actually to see that the prices are dropping. But in the brighter side, some take this as an advantage to buy and hope for 2020 for market improvement.

Not only altcoins even bitcoin also not rampping up in the market nowadays.

While planning for investment also we cannot go with any altcoins since we don't know what will be price of alts tomorrow. Usually we use to see the bump in the time Christmas. But still there is no high bump so far.

There's high rate of Altcoin development and to worsen it many are not ready to bring out useful usecases or products that will bring in investors. So many scams and some exchanges list them without verifications, many exchanges lack liquidity because if these projects. This is the says we are having and it's a pressing one as only few altcoins are doing well out if thousands.

Don't be too quick to predict the future will be better when nothing is currently been done in the present to make the future a productive one. Remember many optimistic individuals made similar predictions in 2018 but still the condition was no where better in 2019 on a general note (speaking of the altcoin market). I don't think the lack of new Investors is the main reason why the market is on a decline instead I presume the lack of interest from the current Investors is the cause since every single day thousands of millions are been withdraw from the market due to panic selling caused by fud.

The industry needs a rebranding before anything positive starts happening again since the ICO/IEO season tagged the industry a get rich quick scheme which reduced the level of patience Investors are willing to exercise with projects to bring about quality development and profitable from the industry.

I don't think the market is the way it is because of lack of investors, I think it's the way it is because of manipulation, this is a scourge on Cryptocurrencies in general, sometimes you would see a natural growth about to happen and suddenly, the powers that be would stiffle it immediately, there are always more and more people picking up interest in Cryptocurrencies daily and I believe that when the altszn finally arrives, we would be seeing an influx of a higher number of people.

Everything is happening because of the huge BTC dominance. Look at the market, even if altcoin has a huge announcement like mainnet launch or new exchange listing, it does not influence its price at all when BTC is moving.

Things are now quite different from what it used to be. Which means we cannot always expect the same result overtime. Investors are more conscious of what to invest in, than what they want to earn. No matter how long it takes, good coins will always find their ways to the top. At least, some good altcoins still surge despite all and despite what the market holds.

Apart from that, the entire crypto market is crumbling. Gradually, it looks like it is been monitored. the whales are seating and observing. waiting for a major market movement. either the rack in the market or push it to another bull market. i doubt if we will see any bull market soon.

It is obvious that the Altcoin season will only start when the Bitcoin bull run begins. Whales watch and accumulate small amounts all the time. When they think their pockets are full, they will start mobilizing the funds needed to make a pump. The accumulation period may take a month or two, but it may well be a year.

LOL.. seriously? Do you really think that the altcoins are going down because Bitcoin is poaching on the userbase / market cap? I though that the reverse scenario was true (altcoins leaching off users from Bitcoin). Anyway, let's assume that your claim is accurate. But in that case, the market capitalization of Bitcoin should be increasing, right? On the other hand, it has gone down from $350 billion to $130 billion during the last two years.

What is on your mind might be one of the reasons that crypto is not excited and leads to instability. many investors refrain because many new projects are looking for profit for a moment even many leave the project without a trace even if there is a price token that is not in accordance with what is estimated even tends to be worthless tokens, so many investors refrain from joining. maybe this is not just the cause of the incident at least this is the main point.

It's difficult to predict the market, we really don't know what will happen in the next year if we can see the better market, but I guess high chance will be better because of the bitcoin halving.

Now we have some facts to accept. Most of the altcoins are useless. They are simple copies of Bitcoin. Bitcoin can do many things already. Ethereum has brought many innovations to this market. Many altcoins will be removed from this market.

there are still many processes that must be gone through so that Altcoin can again experience an increase, maybe what you say is true that this year the interest of new investors in crypto has diminished so that the crypto market does not show any significant increase to date. but I still have a strong belief in the growth of crypto in the future, therefore do not easily give up not to continue the investment we made in cryptocurrency

This is what bothers me the most if all of those people left the market and they lost money then we will never hear from them again but they keep getting millions of dollars and the risk of getting prosecuted is minimal, with those kind of odds it is obvious they're going to keep coming back and they will keep scamming the people of this forum, but unfortunately they are ruining things for the few honest developers out there that want nothing but to help the market to develop.

There are still a lot of altcoins that are working well and they are not copies of anyone. In the future, these altcoins may replace ETH and make this market exciting.
But I also admit that altcoins created during 2017-2018 will quickly die in 2020 because after a long time of operation, these altcoins have no effect. There are no products that will benefit the entire community, they only make the community lose money and lose money by investing in them.

The issue of altcoin downtrend is not far from the fact that Bitcoin has been gaining higher ground and dominating the coin market which has made more persons move their portfolio from altcoin to Bitcoin. This has lead to the value of altcoin reducing substantially.

There are many altcoin projects which do have the potential to grow but because of the market fluctuations and bitcoin pump and dump, the alts are not able to move up. We may see good future in 2020 and the holders may get their investments back.

Many altcoin have been scam and delist from exchange market because not profitable and price become down, but right now we hope with bitcoin halving few months later will make many altcoin have higher price, we just waiting when altcoin season back with higher price and dominance with market to make motivate back for altcoin investor.

What I would say here - nothing depends on one components only. What basically makes sense - complex approach towards token and solution analysis. And I am sure that only such strategy leads to right decisions, while choosing the token

Morning there. You know, I would definitely agree with you on your statement. What is important as well - the practical value. Kinda you must be having understanding of why you are using the platform, how it simplifies your life and else

Altcoins prices depend on the price of Bitcoin as it shows the general trend on the cryptocurrency market. Altcoins are mostly used for speculations, so if they see BTC has grown already, they might buy altcoins which was causing Altcoin Seasons in the past.

Very rational. I am adding innovations, roadmap, team experience and milestones - formula for a great platform. By the way, are you having any that fully meet your requirements? Many such?

Oh, good question. Nope, I cannot say that there are many - only 2 or 3 most interesting ones. But to be honest, the most advanced solution (and my latest discovery at the same time) is Intelligent Hero. What I am really impressed with here - entirely new and innovative approach on personal growth industry. With the help of the platform you earn educatively and get motivated professionally, by sharing skills, knowledge, experience and more with millions of others just like

We just can hope that 2020 will be a good year for cryptocurrency. We cannot expect more than that. If we do expect more than that we will end up in frustration. In my opinion, altcoins are decreasing in price as investors, new or old, are losing their interest in cryptocurrency. With the onset of 2020, the crypto market may correct itself. Lets be positive.

More than impressing, thank you very much for your recommendation here. I will have a closer look at what solutions stays for and get back with own thoughts afterwards. Have just opened the website, seems that there is a lot of info to go through

If those coins are any good then they will eventually grow you do not need to worry about them but if they are like the thousands of coins in the market that say they are very good only to be proven wrong by the community then you should not expect anything out of those coins and if for some reason that coin begins to go up make no mistake, that will be only because of luck or some pump and dump groups that have chosen that coin to perform their scams.

but under these conditions, we can see coins that have the potential to rise and not. some projects with a market situation like this just do not have news and some projects also disappeared. Their coins are stranded and I think when there are projects that have no updates, they really should be left behind. Even though there are pumps as you said, it doesn't remove them from the scam list.

We need to be more realistic hen we select projects to support, many projects are there not to performed but to scam people with so many broken promises. It's been  said that if there's no real purposes there's no chance of succeeding, it will only moves simply because of manipulations and
will only ends up dying inside the market.

OMG you got 396 posts with ZERO merit?! How can you be so wrong so goddamn always?! But I think you are right fam, 2020 will be better!
Many emerging altcoins are investment worthy let alone the top dogs. Stuff maturing, expectations increasing, cream will rise to the top!

I think that altcoin season is not yet coming and it could be the year of Bitcoin today and we might just expect a little increase of value of some altcoins but not like before the year of 2017. And this could only happen if altcoins will be able to caught up with BTC if the value increases.

But still accumulating is best way to do now because we cannot predict on what will happen on the market.

Unless the altcoins can show that they can be used for something that Bitcoin is not suitable to be used, they will remain very dependent on Bitcoin. Whenever the Bitcoin prices drop, the altcoin prices will fall even more. And they can't survive for too long by leaching off Bitcoin. The market share of altcoins would continue to decline and eventually their market share and user base will get shifted to BTC.

I still expect more bleeding on altcoins this year because its really disappointing the rates at which Scam projects keep showing up over and over again with new strategies and that's really scaring off investors and if no investors no volume in the market.

You are indeed right, that's the problem altcoin hard to return to the season. Therefore the year 2020 we must all make innovations in order to stop a bad new project.
such as making legality on the project before making it. There is no free smart contract so that their projects can be verified properly.

Because you are not buying, there are no new investors, no new money comes into the market. People are only trading between altcoins and Bitcoin.
We need bull run and hype, this will be the power that will bring new money.  8)

Because people have stopped believing in the teams of Altcoins. The team may do anything to increase their profit or may try to do exit scam. Potential development of most of the coins are less these days and making a sustainable platform and use case of tokens are rare.

 They are actually doing alright compared to the world around us. The difference is in the real world fiat is crumbling, many nations dying and there are a lot of devaluation of currencies and inflation like crazy and even normally amazing nations like UK and USA have insane amount of deficit as well, which means altcoins are actually doing much better than those currencies. Difference is altcoins are stuff you are willing to sell first whenever you have a problem, when you need money what would you sell, gold? stocks? bitcoin? or would you sell that low coin that hasn't moved in a while? Thats why altcoins haven't been making progress too fast but as long as some of them survive, that means thats better than many nations currencies.

I think this is not about trusting in the dev team, but about the fact that people bought Altcoins without any basic knowledge about them. When prices began to fall, they began to sell themselves in panic without thinking about what was happening. That is why there was such a long and large market collapse. When people start learning and finding out what Altcoins are, their adoption and prices will start to rise again.

Some do know. Some do not. Big fat fellows most definitely have a plan for halving and could estimate whats going to happen to bitcoin on a certain date. Guys like Brian Armstrong and Arthur Hayes can read the trends better than most of u plus they got access to inside shit happening on their exchanges. I have a hunch that alts' failure to post any significant gains in 2019 was due to most peoples' uncertainty about halving. Most whales (just like average traders) have no idea what happens in may. Hence they are just sitting out in cash, taking no action. Just waiting for halving to kick in. So they can make up their mind after a major decision point in bitcoin markets has been reached.

These 2 industries you've mentioned are a bit different, however, as far as I understand, you are trying to get into the industries, where you are experienced and where you basically understand the growth. And you told that you are interested in modern products, how are you choosing the solutions on the market?

Morning mate. I cannot say for everyone, but can elaborate a bit more on my own approach and strategy here. I always start with just an idea, evaluating how it may be spread wider, how applicable it is and else. Then a very important component is the value I can get. Or some benefits. Then paying attention to the team, the roadmap and innovations

Sounds rational, you seem to be on the market for pretty a long time. And as for today, are there many platforms/solutions that pass your "test"? Would be definitely interested to hear some recommendations

Well the reason that altcoins not grow is because there now is no interest for investors to buy and also a lot of people sell crypto for holidays and other just hold and not buy altcoins, most of people hold waiting for next bull run which possible happen this year.

I can basically share my latest discovery - GetHashWallet. Why latest? Cause requirements always grow and this is the solution that I've found out lately. Basically, the guys are entering hardware market. GetHashWallet is coming with own secure and private hardware wallet - non-programmable device that is easy and secure. What also makes much sense here, in my opinion, is that the product is already available for sale, so everything can be tried out. There are many more features, so I recommend you to have a closer look at their website

Interestingly, you are not the first person recommending GetHashWallet. Had no time to check out the solution before, but will do shortly and get back with own thoughts afterwards. Thank you very much for your recommendation

From what I have seen, most of the altcoins have a very small lifespan. And in most cases, it is within the 6 to 12 months range. During this duration, the altcoin in question may undergo one of more pump-and-dump cycle. But after a certain point, the promoters will move on with some other project, and gradually the trade volumes will die down.

Yep, share your thoughts afterwards. Curious to know and discuss more specifically

Altcoins market did not grow due to lack of investor interest to buy amid current conditions (stagnant Bitcoin prices and political issues).  2020 just started, we can only hope that the political conditions in some countries will not affect investor worries.  for example, the issue of World War 3 (between the US & Iran) has made many investors worry about the future.  I hope the price of Bitcoin can grow in the midst of current conditions to be able to help the price of Altcoins to grow as well.

2020 has already come; the situation with the altcoin market has not changed cardinally, maybe in the first quarter it will be the same - the stagnation of most cryptocurrencies. At the beginning of the year, you should not expect a revival in the market, investors after the holidays will not be so active as to change the global trend.

The price of the altcoin is much more affordable than the price of bitcoin. But we all know that the price of those altcoin is really dependent to the price of the bitcoin so when the price of bitcoin rises up there is a higher chance that the value of the altcoin will rise also and when the price of bitcoin goes down, value of the altcoins will gonna be affected by the price drop.

That is what I am saying, there is not need to do anything, if a project is good then it will survive the difficult market conditions and it will eventually begin to go up in value and it will command the attention of the community when it finally happens, I think that investors are worrying over nothing, good coins will always find a way to survive that is why they are good coins, but bad coins will disappear even if we were in the middle of a bull market and we should not get worried about it and if anything we should be glad when those coins disappear.

Of course, the same thing is happening with the developments coin, we are seeing many fake coins are failing to survive in the market because we don't see any active developments from them but potential altcoins are also decreasing their even though we see active implements from them. I hope they are decreasing because of Bitcoin fluctuations.

Altcoins have gone through many price drops during the past 2 years and this is the time for all altcoins to recover because 2020 will be the year when investors will make many important decisions when investing. I think only good altcoins will get the attention of people and those are options you can consider investing if it's a project that can bring you profit in the long term.

In fact, there is always a way to make money from altcoin but depend on your current knowledge because every decision you make will make your profits affected.

And just when no one expected to see altcoins to grow we are seeing a huge recovery, I do not really know why this is happening and while I should be happy about it this makes me really nervous because this is not really the growth that most people are looking for, this is the dream of speculators but this is not the dream of those that are holding their coins for a very long time because it is going to be impossible for them to take advantage of this volatility as speculators can do.

investors and the community have an important role to play in the development of cryptocurrency, especially in altcoin. as you know, now the trust of investors has begun to diminish to remain in cryptocurrency. Of course this is the duty of all of us as a community, especially for developers, who must find ways to be able to restore investor confidence in Altcoin (especially new investors). maybe this can help improve the future of the cryptocurrency ecosystem

What happen in the previous years  really do affect the price of bitcoin together with other altcoins, many investors lose their trust in the market and pull out their investment, maybe instead of crypto they put that in forex or stock market, many ICO are being turned to shit because lack of investor and lack of support of the devs.

Thats true, we suffered in long bearish trend for alts and some investors are losing hope that it will back to its previous ath price thus they are switching to other investment opportunity out there.

If investors see an improvement to the market they might invest again and will start for the coins to bounce back. Hoping for alts to show some growth for us to take profit for waiting for so long but until its not happening lets us all be patient.

I think we need some new pump in price for new investors to come in. The truth is crypto is not as attractive as it was back in 2017. There is very little or no news about investments doing x10, x50 or x100 as it used to be. Now we have more dips than profits so interest in altcoins is low as no one wants to lose their hard-earned money

Scammed got the big part why projects are no longer getting good respond and support from new investors, after learning those many victimized from the scam people hesitate to enter and begin to invest their money. Alts that wants to continue progressing needs to offer new ideas and real products to cater.

We cant deny that most altcoins these days do not contribute in crypto some of them dont have a working product and uses cases thats why most of these projects will grow or eventually they will be removed.

Well, I think something good is happening now, crypto is awakening as we may see today :) I think the main bull frenzy will occur when BTC passes 15000 level. Until that people will remain very careful and greedy :)

This year I hope will be a good year for the crypto and because of the BTC halving it might outrun the Altcoins since the money from Alts flow towards the BTC, once the price of BTC saturates then it will be the Alts. It may happen this year-end or maybe next year IMO

Could it be you're not following the market closely because altcoins has be increasing in price recently. Bitcoin cash and sv increased recently while ethereum has been on a steady increase since the start of the year.  2020 so far has looked promising for the altcoin. The year will be the beginning of a moon market for most altcoins since they'll be profiting from bitcoin success

indeed. Though there were so many investors that has interest. It wasn't enough to make an altcoin orbitcoin or the cryptocurrency market itself grow. There were a lot of panic sellers recently whom just made the market red while some prefer long term holding instead of constant trading. But still, there are also other factors to be blame such as scam projects and dumped coins, which somehow affected the whole market.

good start to the year, altcoin season is likely to come before halving,
but bitcoin prices are still too risky to decline, of course altcoin prices can be affected

    Great start of the year. With this start we can say that this headline is completely wrong, alt-coins are growing these days!
And some are growing more than others as we can see.
   I think it's too early for an alt-coin season and price rise we expect from that alt-coin season. Let's be happy with what we
have now, enjoy the moment and hope for much higher rise.

For some altcoins, this year started even better than for Bitcoin. Let's hope that the entire cryptocurrency market will start to grow and this year we will finally see the coming of the alt season. I think that everyone who believes in the coins they support is waiting for this very much. After such a start of the year, I think that investors will also notice in the alts great potential for this year. Fingers crossed!


 ;D ;D Exactly the same opinion, man!

Well for altcoin bleeding, there is time for everything, sometime opportunities come up for investors to take advantage of while it is bleeding, also market conditions  sometimes seem stagnant because no new innovation, every thing just look like a replica of another project so investors  tend to hold back.

The reason why is the coins that are now launching is not good and the project is not well jmgood to bring profit to investors thats why we need to choose a good bounty to work for and to invest in like the Aci Coin that has potential and will grow in this future.

Market maybe one of the reason why altcoins are not growing these days but there are still altcoins that are emerging and growing even if the market is not good as of now. It is actually on their platform making every buyers and investors an eager to buy more knowing that the altcoin they bought is such a good investment and can make them profitable. Many projects are having also good platforms but there are lack of supports and investors that is why they cannot prove how good their project is, support is important when starting a project because it is a foundation for them to be successful and to reach their target or goal.

the predicted year has happened and prices have recovered so far although the increase is not so significant, but that does not mean the lack of investors because even though this increase is not so significant, but the increase that happen is more consistent and better because maybe this year will be the crypto season already we should prepare anything that will benefit in the future and be patient

We should not generalize the altcoins. There are close to 10,000 of them in existence (although the majority are either dead or dormant), and it is not right to classify all of them in to one category. If we do so, then we'll be grouping the good coins and the shitcoins together. For example, we can't say that coins such as Ixcoin and Freicoin are as good as Ethereum and Monero.

Yes, in 2019 it can be said that the cryptoqurrency market is not well developed. altcoin lost a lot of value and also the price of bitcoin did not increase significantly. but we have now entered Q1 in 2020 and the crypto market is gradually growing well, including the price of bitcoin and some of the top altcoins on the market.

Altcoins need to show some improvement if they want to bring the attention of investors back them, we all know that more than anything investors want something and that is to earn money, and altcoins have been really bad at that during the last two years so we cannot really blame them if they are not interested in the market, so far we have seen a recovery in the market of altcoins but compared to their all time highs this is nothing and many investors are not going to invest in them even at the current prices.

There are altcoins that are recovering but there are also altcoins that doesn't have enough power anymore to have a momentum. We should focus on altcoins that have high momentum because those are the ones that have highest market participants where many investors and traders are buying it. Volume is important in choosing potential altcoins, we should ignore the altcoins that have low volume because it is considered as shitcoins.

Altcoins after long are following Bitcoin price action. After 2017, they used to just go down with every Bitcoin price up movement.i am pretty optimistic about altcoins this year. I have diversified my portfolio and have included a few large cap coins.
So far the returns have been massive. Link and etc gave almost 20%+ return over Bitcoin price surge. New year is treating us greatly.

Crypto trading or investing is very risky and in the past, we had heard a lot of stories as thousands of investors lost there all money but also hundreds of crypto investors are now millionaires. I think this is the main reason due to which crypto market is still under bearish season and no one knows the bull run.

There are certain reasons why alt-coins not growing,Actually the scam projects increased and investors even avid to invest in real projects and the existing projects fail to make promised development.People who invested in ICO projects of 2018 still they looking fr listing f coin and if some listed having value like zero.Most popular altcoins still fail to capture more investors because no expected return and development with new features.

It may be possible in near future the popular altcoin will it to moon,For me it is better to invest in existing popular altcoins rather the new ico projects.

some new things offered by altcoin lately, especially their staking program. a challenge for other altcoins if they don't follow market tastes and remain idealistic with their own concepts. Altcoin is not developing in such a way because investors are more careful than their previous experience and they no longer want to wait for promises and progress for a very long time, investors prefer quality-based references on coins that have been proven to have good volumes. If all altcoins adjust to trends then I think dominance will increase.

Every crypto has suffered dip. The period was of recession so it makes sense but now I think the market will rise because after every decline there is a upward trend called growth, so market can increase.

I am also very optimistic about the altcoin situation this year, but the altcoin market this year is not the same as the previous years, only the top altcoin in this market is pumped. I also invest in ETH and BNB, after some time since November, I have gained more than 35% of the profits when investing in it. Certainly this year prices will go higher than now and we will have more profits

When we look back over the past year, there are more investors in altcoins as they happen to have more softcap and hardcap projects trusted and potentially successful. But as of now they're nearly gone because of these many altcoins bounty scammers and making some fake bounty campaign so some investors are afraid to invest their time for a scam project because of this they don't want or waste. An we hope it has taken back on what we've seen over the past year so more people are willing to invest again.

That is great but I do not think the altcoin surge is going to continue, it is better to take your profits now instead of waiting for even more profits in the future, especially since in the last days the price of bitcoin has begun to go down and most of the growth in those altcoins is being erased and in some cases those profits are becoming losses really quickly as it is the case with some of the coins that gave the best profits like Dash and BSV.

Crypto market is at a very unpredictable stage and I believe the downtrend will continue in this market as people are still worried about investing.

It may take a few more years for everything to stabilize, but if you want to invest, this is a good time to consider some of the cheap coins available in this market. However, altcoins are still a risky investment and you can definitely lose your money at any time if the market turns red.

Not necessarily as a lack of interest on the parts of investors, the market is having a cycle as some predicted, whenever this cycle is completed, we might see Altcoins increase in price. Once there's a balance between Btc dominance and alts, then alt season will come.

All started with the rampant scams that happened back is 2017-2018. Those where the years when ICO was booming and a lot of promises were given and failed. These days most of the crowdfunding are regulated and is very very secured with some guarantors like those IEOs. Though which brings me to the point why they aren't growing, the market has been stagnant that even bitcoin isn't moving at all almost. Plus there are no new or upcoming revolutionary atlcoins/crypto projects that will wow the people. The best thing i saw from all of the crowdfunding right now is with  NEXT.Exchange  (https://medium.com/nextexchange/the-next-ieo-is-available-now-4674e3fa5abb) as they propose a hybrid dex and cex. The IEO was also launched on thier platform and p2pb2b. The rest of them are all ... meh.

Cryptocurrency market status could be determine by a very broad factors. Cryptocurrencies have their own backgrounds that people should consider before investing onto it. I probably think that you are pertaining on 2017 market bull run, many altcoin investors mainly lost profit because they bought late, but to consider, most of the people bought there becomes the reason of the bear market we've exprerienced in 2018. But to answer the topic why altcoins aren't growing these days, is because seasonal changes aren't riped yet, I definitely believe that there should be a drive to signal this season and for me, that is the halving that will occur to bitcoin.

We have started the year 2020 with a good run in which the downfall have been partially ended due to the positive improvement tht happen to the prices of the cryptocurrencies starting of with the price of Bitcoin which from $6,500 last year 2019, have surprisingly increased its price reaching the $9,000 by the early weeks of this month. Brought by this increase, certain Altcoins that mainly rely into Bitcoin's price have benefitted also increasing their prices. As of the moment, Altcoins are still showing off a good price behavior if you will observe which is a good sign for a better year for the cryptocurrency community to come. Hoping that this year will be favorable for Bitcoin as well as into the Altcoin market so that all of us will benefit from it. We just need to tighten our holds into the Altcoins we have and surely those will be all worth it in no time.

I am optimistic that in 2020 there will be good developments for Bitcoin and Altcoin. There is a Halving moment that can make the price of Bitcoin rise and this will also affect the price of altcoin. The price of bitcoin is still above $ 8,000 and I think this is better than last year.

Surely this year will be a lot better than last year, last year the price of bitcoin was only $ 3500 and now the price of bitcoin is trading at $ 8700, most likely this year we will see bitcoin price soon surpassing ATH by Because of halving coming, everyone in this market is looking forward to this event

I think in previously, most of the projects were scams, and few projects were good that were productive, and investors make good profit from them. Still, nowadays, most of the altcoins are very low level, even major altcoins in the top 100 also not performing well just investors thinking about BTC and investing in most of the investors in BTC, not other altcoins that are the reason altcoins are not growing.

Going back to November and December of last year, we can see that both bitcoin and alts have dropped. It makes many investors lose money and raises many questions as to why this is so? then that answer is a market cycle, just simple like that. If you have read about the Dow theory, you can easily recognize the trend of the market. Because in May, 6, 7, 8, 9 there was a very strong growth of bitcoin and alts, it increased by about 400% - 450%. And then the momentum of the rally dropped as the crowd saw the price was too high and started selling off. so this is very normal, don't worry.

Nowadays all all coins market is growing good and at the same time we need to be alert and invest our money at the right time to make the profit.
many people might consider this is the bad time for cryptocurrency but if you are clever definitely you will utilise this situation and invest your money to make the profit in the upcoming halving time.

I think it started accumulating already. price is steady and continues to go up hopefully. Halving is coming and possibly by May this year. Its good to be ready now, and when bitcoin is ascending, altcoins will follow. Thas, why altcoin seems rallying now, is because bitcoin is starting to move upward also.

Bitcoin price increases and altcoin price drops are normal at this time.  The entire capital of the market is orbiting Bitcoin.  When bitcoin reaches a stable value, altcoins naturally grow.  Altcoin is currently at its lowest level ever and I think it is time to buy into Altcoin.
Most altcoins are bad projects.  I can only trust projects listed on Binance.  Most of them have better liquidity than altcoins listed on other exchanges.

All things grows. I don’t know what your coins are not growing. You just need to buy worthwhile altcoins that have a future. And not the ones that advise you on telegram channels. But nothing, over time, learn to think for yourself, and not trust people who need to earn money for you, rather than letting you earn it.

price movements are already beginning to be seen at this time, maybe because of the influence of halving bitcoin which I think making trends will already begin. The most important thing is when we want to start, make sure we are prepared to invest in anything because anything can happen to crypto.

This is not a problem of a lack of investors, but because some people do not want to enter the market due to unstable price conditions. The crypto market in 2020 will be bright. Everyone certainly agrees with this. The price of Bitcoin will go up and be followed by several potential altcoins.

Some investors are afraid to invest because of the scam that mostly happened before. A lot of them have lost their money because they have not researched the project where they invested and just go with the flow because cryptocurrency was the latest trend to earn good profit before in 2016 and 2017. I'm glad this year the investors have slowly comint back to the market after they learned how to properly manage their investments.

Totally agree with your comments. We have a lot of investors in this market, but they still don't dare to invest because they fear the market will collapse and they will continue to lose money. If the price of Bitcoin gets fomo and goes up to $ 20k, I believe they will quickly come back and invest in this market again.

yes, maybe true because of the lack of interest from new investors. but on the other hand I think the main problem is fraud. we have seen for a long time even now that the ICO project is so bad. and on the one hand developers prefer to make new projects again and no longer care about the development of previous projects.

no one has learned how to manage their money and you will understand this when you will see a new bull market. Now everything is so quiet, not because investors have become smart, but simply because no one is interested in even trying to learn new projects or invest somewhere. the market does not allow stupid investors to make money, but it will give them the opportunity to lose their money when we see the green market

has started from today, many altcoins experienced a specific increase, altseason may still occur at the end of the year or even next year because it remains dependent on changes in dominance, if bitcoin rises and starts spinning in the 10k area, I think altcoin will also step in the positive zone first in q1. Actually this time is the best zone to buy altcoin at the lowest price because fomo still hasn't happened.

From your topic, I will say that, many people are currently scared of altcoins, because most altcoins have just died off. Another reason I percieve is the bear market.

Have said this last year and am repeating it again, until crypto space get fully regulated we will continue to witness countless fail projects

2019 is not what many of us expect in term of the price. I could remember the people predictions and speculations during the start of 2019 and toward the last quarter of the year, we were hoping to see crypto rally but all to no avail. I think this is due to low interest in crypto by the people at large. Not only this, a lot of projects are turning to scam and many people are not ready to invest in crypto anymore. 2019 was a year we all expect more due to replacement of ICO by IEO but this turn out to be another bad influence but we have also learned a lot from this as we are fully aware of some exchange platform that are bad energy and cancer to cryptocurrency. 2020 is another year we all hope to we witness a turnaround in the crypto market and hopefully, this rally come soon to regain the glory of crypto

I think investors are getting bored with the promises of the project team, and many writings on crypto scams are circulating. So investors are just starting to fear investing and crypto prices are starting to drop.

might require a process, I mean for altcoin so that it can raise prices again. on the other hand, seeing market conditions that have not improved, it can affect the decline in cryptoqurrency prices as well. but I believe there are times when the price of altcoin goes up and it is profitable to invest again, keep thinking optimistically and also be patient.

2020 can be a good year for altcoins. The bear market has dominated for a long time. People are afraid to invest in altcoins. However, not all altcoin projects are unsuccessful. I expect solid projects to prove themselves.

many good projects that have not performed well in 2019, there is a lot of speculation that 2020 is indeed the year of altcoin hopefully it happens, everyone is waiting for Altcoin season including me  ;D

That should be the main reason but another reason will be the good news about crypto. The majority of the governments have already instructed to the central bank to issue their own digital currency which will be giving a huge impact to the price of cryptocurrency. Halving of bitcoin gives a good movement too.

Investors are there, but they have become more mature. No one is ready to invest in a shitcoin, just to make its promoters rich. The current bunch of users do proper research before investing in any asset and coins which are not adhering to timelines and having shady practices are immediately red flagged. Copycats are a big no-no in the present market. Unless an altcoin has something unique and innovative about it, people may be wary of investing in it. But good coins continue to get investment from experienced users.

I am thinking about another reason for this problem. why altcoin is very difficult to go up, it's because most investors have lost their trust in an altcoin. it's just that, for this year, little by little, that trust returns. there is a possibility that altcoin will develop this year. although not all, but a good development if altcoin has grown from the previous price in the current situation.

I see almost all the comments say only that this year will be better than next, altcoins will rise from our knees, you and I will heal, and we will all be happy. Hope your words are true. Although not sure.

And it's very good that you're not sure, because all these predictions are just speculation. The bull run always came a few months after halving so it is very possible that nothing will happen this year and altseazon will come in 2021

That is one of the many problems with the market of altcoins, it seems a new altcoin season is on the door and that could be great for people like us but at the same time it is still not a definitive thing, we need to see how the price of bitcoin and ethereum performs during the next days and if we do not see an important growth it is likely the whales could short the market and make the price to drop really quickly I know not many people believe this is possible but it has happened in the past many times.

I would say that advanced tokens and coins must follow many criteria. As for me, I always evaluate many parameters before investing. And aims & plans for sure matter a lot along with current results

I fully agree with you. And you know, as there are more and more different options these days, we should always try to choose the best solutions. Talking about you, are there many you follow? And how are you usually choosing promising ones?

Basically, the only one I am following these days is Verasity. Because guys are not only coming with incredible and truly impressive results, but also having many real users behind. For example, they are top token on Binance DEX with highest trading volume, they are at Tier 1 leading exchanges listing, setting new standards and new records every day

Definitely sounds very impressive. But what are latest results you are talking about? I mean probably there is an example or so you can come up with? Would be interested to hear

The latest one I have discovered is new records on real users number and views. Verasity has proved its value to publishers by dramatically increasing viewer engagement and video views on their site domains to 1.3M viewers. Google the news, it is quite popular now

The reason why altcoins is not growing back then because most investors are afraid to risk their money in unsure projects that they might get scam or it will end up unsuccessful. But for now, altcoins like ETH and XRP is starting to grow it's value the same as bitcoin, that is why i think more investors will invest their money in top altcoins to gain more profit.

Well, everything will change - the market will become bullish and people will again turn their faces to cryptocurrencies, but everything in the crypt is cyclical and after pump, we will inevitably dump. Those who are not so greedy will be able to earn on the greed of others. Market law))

Now for new projects to raise funds successfully they have to stand out among the rest, deliver something very new, Sero project has rare features and that is why they are able to raise over hard cap target on gate.io, if new project is not different and outstanding investors won't have interest in them

Is not yet the time for altcoins bull run this is why not grow, and also people not have interest on it and governments blocked and companies ban crypto when bitcoin was 20 k usd

We have part of new crypto projects guaranteeing that they are next bitcoin, they can be superior to bitcoin,etc however every one of these winds up with nothing they just fled with speculators money.So new investors  begins to think and keep away from contributing not many of them understood new cryptos will never give them such advantages as more seasoned days starting at now.

Talking about further crypto path, from my point of view, focus is going to change a bit. What do I mean? Investors are now a bit tired of similar and simple tokens. So as I understand, the switch will happen towards more technological and valuable solutions

Morning mate. I am having pretty similar vision. Another aspect that makes sense - how team delivers experience. So I always conduct own analysis, evaluating many factors etc. So just wonder whether you are just following any project with innovations

Not really. There are many criteria I pay attention to as well. And as for solutions I follow - there are only 2 or 3. If you are interested, my latest discovery is ThreeFold Network platform. What I am impressed with - entirely new approach on IT industry. Heard of the solution already? A popular one these days?

ThreeFold? It seems that I've met the project somewhere, but cannot remember for sure. What exactly attracts you in their approach on the industry? Or where can I check out more on what the guys are bringing?

There are several points. Basically, I am pretty impressed with the idea in general. Team is building the biggest decentralized grid of self-managing Internet capacity in the world that is being built collectively by an inclusive ecosystem and owned by everyone But of course, much better option is to Google guys and check out their website for more info on the solution, I believe you will be also impressed with the tech side  

This definitely sounds very interesting, let me have a closer look

Altcoins begin to grow a little bit in price, but you should not count on a good pump this year, because now all demand goes only for bitcoin, so it is possible that by the end of 2020 or in 2021 big players and manipulators will begin to pump altcoins, so we must wait and hope.

Yep, have a look. Cause I haven't found any direct competitors so far, to tell the truth

I will get back with my thoughts, but so far sounds very attractive for sure

I can't say anything about the proposed project.I fully believe in the NOIA project.The company will probably never make its users see red.in General, the entire market is now seeing green.Therefore, there is no time to lose heart.

The prices of altcoins are not growing due to the market situation.Market have been poor for a very long time if I can remember it dated back mid 2018 when situation began to become terrible and many investors start to pull out of crypto-currency.Many factors lead to this bear market but the issue of scam is one of the major factors.Hope market becomes good again so that we will see increase in value of many altcoins.

Altcoins were always behind, a specially after a huge dump - they stopped growing. I think that is because people stopped to believe in altcoins and they thought that it would be better to store their belongings in bitcoin.

If you see most of the is bleeding day by day why would you trust altcoins. Some new coin continuously bleeding and bleeding then fade. As most of token on ERC-20 base, so after Ethereum 2.0 altcoins season could come this year. Full altcoins season will come when Bitcoin halving effect will work.

They are not yet stopping to believe in altcoin. Just take a look at the market and how altcoin was growing even greater than the major coin. It must caused by bitcoin but people are not yet leaving the altcoin dude.
This fact is still happening in the market.

there are too many fake, failed and abandoned projects. that will make some altcoins turn into a scam coins.
some trader and investor don't trust some altcoins anymore. so, most of them are buying BTC and no altcoins season for now.

I think for this year to be the year of growth of crypto, at this time it might not be seen as significant yet, but optimism might be that in the middle of this year it will be a big growth.

Plus that now partly switches to crypto because crypto is not affected by global money.

Some of those coins are haven't grown because they aren't fully developing yet. some certain Altcoin can be a life-changing investment if you buy it at its lowest price it gets its momentum in the market. it is only possible with its dedicated team that won't get tired with their non-stop updates. the example of this certain Altcoin is the BNB coin of the Binance exchange.

There is no fundamental analysis for crypto but there is one exception for this which is BNB yes it is the utility coin and at the same time deflationary coin as well. Every component of the Binance ecosystem contributed to the higher profitability thereby increased coin burns which makes it more valuable. And most of them started to move from Alts to BTC because of the BTC halving for the past few months once the BTC reaches a saturation point the money will flow again from BTC to Alts

Data from where? ... crypto as a whole whether bitcoin, and other altcoins are still the talk of people around the world, even in our country began to explore profitable businesses for some people who know him. we can see from the search system almost all over the world every day that many begin to learn to understand crypto.

Good evening. And do you believe it to be simple to choose advanced hard wallet these days? Cause as far as I see, the market is overcrowded with abstract solutions, so it is not very simple to find truly worthwhile one

I absolutely agree with you. I would say that the point that makes sense is the practical value and results by the time you conduct own research. Anyway, I cannot say that I am aware of many advanced ones

I tried to find advanced ones myself and I couldn't find a unique solution that would impress me. And this is why I am asking for the advice here

If you are interested in my opinion, the most advanced solution these days from my point of view is GetHashWallet. Basically, guys are setting entirely new standards and building a truly advanced product

Hmm, so far sounds interesting indeed. But can you please provide more info on what exactly the team is building? Interested to know more

Yeah, sure. Again, there are no insurance on the exchange. And a very advanced non-programmable hardware wallet I have discovered is GetHashWallet. Team is bringing easy to use product that is arrow certified and available for sale, so everything can already be tried out. Moreover, they had crowdfunding on Indiegogo, it brings higher confidence for me too. And I definitely recommend you to have a look at their website to have a better understanding

Experienced traders make money in any market, under any circumstances. A bull market will help us (ordinary crypto enthusiasts), if not earn, at least return money from unsuccessful investments.
