How would you evaluate altcoins performance throughout 2018 in general?

[CryptoAssasin]

2018 altcoin performance was very disappointing, full of despair, FUD, and altcoins from an ICO that year were nearly on its death. Last year was a vice versa of 2017 so what happened is to be expected where cryptocurrencies price correction went down like it was being on a reset. On the bright side, we were able to invest to an altcoin with potential at its lowest price so we can cover some of pur loses this year for sure.

very good and healthy!

you see the prices of altcoins have been fake and mostly in a bubble and that meant their markets were not healthy at all. with the dumps that happened in 2018 they became healthier again but some of them still need more dumps to reach their real values at the bottom.

with that said the dumped coins are now starting to become ready for the rise. aka the next pumping phase. and those that got dumped the most and the fastest will be the ones that will get pumped first and biggest soon.

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?

In my opinion the performance of 2018 is the bubble bursting effect of 2017 as the market needs to correct the overpriced of those crytpo during the bull run and now the market has been undervalued after those series of bloodbath. This might be the start of recovery after a whole year of bearish situation in which be the ideal price that can attract more huge investors to join crypto. Year 2017 was the year that we should accumulate as many good quality coins while the price is in downfall. Although everything in crypto is unpredictable but we need to prepare our best coins for the bounce back of the market. This year could be the time for recovery and a bullish year ahead.

That is a very interesting point of view, not many will evaluate the performance of altcoins that way and that is because it is very difficult to be objective when you have money at stake and the market is destroying your capital, but in a way you are right the prices of most altcoins were impossible to sustain and a crash was not only inevitable but necessary, but I am sorry for all of those that thought they could get easy profits out of the market and needed to learn that lesson the hard way.

I do not want to interpret the price of subcoins already in the middle. but almost none of them are making an effort to make the projects a reality. Just don't do this with an iOS or android wallet

Altcoin throughout the 2018 performed poorly.  The Bitcoin was obviously the engine of cryptocurrency market.  Every little changes in bitcoin affected as altcoin deeply and we saw how Altcoin are nothing without Bitcoin!

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

agree, they will soon rise whose name is definitely spinning wheels sometimes above and sometimes below, 2017 is the year that made bitcoin above and revered as early as 2018 bitcoin experienced a downturn and many cursed, hopefully this year is the beginning of the rise of bitcoin and other crypto.
