How would you evaluate altcoins performance throughout 2018 in general?

[Crypto_Samuel]

Now as the market looks more optimistic and with all the news of some of the coins going up substantially it's easier to forget, that most of them underperformed in terms of the forecasts that were made previously. Iota is up 67 percent, stratis 108 percent, and bitcoin cash 150 percent. It’s an impressive recovery, but it’s certainly not a reversal. Back in January, “expert” traders were throwing out wildly ambitious end of year targets that, amidst full bull market hysteria, may not have seemed that outlandish at the time. So, what is ypur opinion on 2018's altc performance?

Altcoin performance should not be evaluated on price but on adoption. In that regard they're also largely failing. No coins had any major breakthroughs, there were some partnerships with large firms but no concrete information on how that would mean their coins would be used. Price is secondary to adoption because it follows it. If coins start having real world uses and adoption then their price will sky-rocket naturally instead of purely because of speculation.

2018 was the most unfortunate in the history of altcoins. I think that many developers realized that they needed to create the right products, and not try to make money

for me , its totaly colaps
altough , recovery market have a good performance,
but,yes , even ROI still far.
probably many people take a quit after get big profit on their ico.
because we know,ETH like a fallen stars on this year.
from ATH 1400 drop to today price.
also scam ico make a bad reputation for altcoins,

No need to evaluate the performance of altcoins how it works in market circulation
Simply to elaborate and to evaluate altcoins moves their price value base in bitcoin price in the marketplace

[Mt. Dempo]

maybe the main thing I saw and considered was their performance or achievement towards the plan they had made in the roadmap, whether their work was on time or not. I also assess how the product is developing and how the market interests or responses to their products.

You don't have to be an expert to know that the performance of most altcoins has been terrible during this year, however it is unfair to judge altcoins on the predictions that people made because as we know they were just stating what they believed will happen, we need to judge altcoins based on their actual performance and in what they brought to the market in terms of innovation and as we know most altcoins failed miserably in those two aspects.

[IlVeroNico]

We need to have corrections for the market circle to be complete, 2018 was an (almost entirely) correction year, so most Alta didn't perform that well

[ginette]

Even (especially) the "best" altcoins have undergone a big correction in 2018. It seems to me that this was necessary to glimpse the possibility of returning to a bullish cycle after this completely irrational year 2017.

This picture from datalight worth a thousand words

[dreico]

there is just to evaluate that the first quarter of the year was not bad for the Altcoins, well, and then the decline went, which was quite expected, but in general I would not say that 2018 was successful

[akitha]

2018 is not a failure to altcoins, it just show how the market is very volatile.. we cannot call it as misfortune as we all know that they will bounced back

In 2018 only a few altcoins put up an average performance and a very tiny percent were impressive in their outing. You must remember that in general the performance of the cryptocurrency market is largely defined by Bitcoin and since the coin was in the downturn a lot of the altcoins followed suite. Haven said that, I see a better outing for the crypto market generally.

In 2018  I can't say we have any real adoption, what I can say is that good projects with great teams focus more on development of their platforms and build a solid fundamantals in which they will build on  when the adoption starts, I have seen many projects fall buy the way make me to think we still have a long way to go

Most of them are selling useless product and that's it. So many platforms are getting bankrupt and even ETC is a part of them. They are not using their funds effectively. They are not focusing on how to create revenue to keep the platform alive.

[eagleman]

The performance wasn't expected and bad if everyone will base it on the price.
You'll never see adoption on the price but I'd say that forget about 2018 and just move on to 2019.

[kotajikikox]

Us we should knows altcoins is in the worse situation in the 2018 year of the down trend, in mynown evaluation altcoins gives profits for these people know how to learn the strategic bear market situation specially the traders.

Let's face the life of cryptocurrency this new year of full of hope and faith that bear market will end and most altcoin are rises fast.

[South Park]

Most of those that invest in altcoins only care about the price and whether we like it or not the price is one of the best ways that we have to evaluate how a particular asset has been doing lately, and I also think that it will be a mistake to forget the year of 2018 just because it wasn't what we were expecting, it is very important to remember it so we do not forget to that after a huge bull run a huge bear market will follow.

[omonuyak]

We have a very bad year in altcoins market in 2018. The market keep going down till the end of the year and that has resulted in great loses for those that have invested into the market.  We are going to have more good times in some days and months to come in other to compensate the great lose that has happened in 2018.

[Baofeng]

Obviously altcoin market suffered worst than bitcoin last year. It's a total collapse even the number two at that time, Ethereum after going to its new all-time-high in January suddenly plummet to 2 digits. And majority lost 80%-90% of its price. And as a result almost everyone lost their money, other newbies good burned an exited, while strong hands are still holding and waiting for the altcoin market to bounce back this 2019 so let's see if we can see some semblance of recovery in the first quarter.

[sunsilk]

It was poor in general, you see ethereum. At the middle of 2018, price was half of its all time high then suddenly it goes down. The bad thing was many bought on that range.

And keep on holding while they see that the price fells down, many panic sold and thought that it would cut their losses. Good for those who did but many were disappointed. At least, today we see that its back to 2nd spot.
