One thing I am Glad for in 2018

[DarkEagleMan]

Undoubtedly, 2018 was a year of great lessons, but in my opinion the greatest of all is that the concept of "holding" is not applicable to all cryptocurrencies in general, and the best thing is to be sufficiently qualified to be willing to sell any altcoin at a price convenient to us, as the market showed us throughout 2018 that most of the cryptos will tend to devalue strongly as the days go by.

And I also learned that bitcoin, despite its supposed weaknesses, remains the strong currency in this ecosystem, and that if we seek to invest in a safe way in this market, bitcoin will always be the best option, the safe bet.

Just like with anything in life you have to live and learn. 2018 was a year for most who entered the cryptoworld to learn from. And going forward everyone has learned their lesson and not go all in this time around or they will get unknown results.
2019 is looking good so far and we all are optimistic when the price is on the rise the way it is now.

Im glad that the price went a bit down than what everyone expected. Giving the oportunity for new investors to join this great market of what Bitcoin holds.

As for example right now we are seeing a huge price rise and the trends says it will become way bigger.

Sure we had ups and downs but it's all part of the market's actions and don't think for a minute we will reach the 0 (unless everyone sells their coins )

2018 is a situation that can be tossed into 2 segments depending on which section was more beneficial to different individuals

For some set of investors; 2018 was the best year because it reinforces the dominance  of bitcoin as the leading light of other coins and it also stretched the survival rate of bitcoin

For some investors on the other hand, 2018 was a year of total bearish point for them as their portfolio crashed;

but why does no one admits they learnt a lot from the bearish period of 2018

Everything that have disadvantage must have advantage and like you said the market come with 2 segment but the crash segment will affect investors who panic sell cause the market surge sooner or later which is  what's happening now.
Meanwhile, I believe what the OP was trying to point was the benefit of buying dip which the crashed market opened door for.

Am not disappointed in the year 2018 of a truth I learn to be patient with my investment and I come to understand that the cryptocurrency world is not a quick rich investment platform,you need reasonable time to past in other to benefit from your investment

For people who are starting to enter the crypto era, they will certainly consider 2019 a beautiful year and 2018 is a fun year to start. But for people who have known crypto for a long time, 2018 is a nightmare, 2017 as the golden peak of success in investing in the crypto world and in 2019 it is like a better light than in 2018 ago.

I observe that the 2018 lesson for bitcoin is the readiness of bitcoin owners to accept the price of bitcoin at the time after the 2017 party where it costs almost USD 20,000. Many are not ready and panic so they sell at cheap prices.
Bitcoin owners must be optimistic mentally so they always think logically that bitcoin as the world's digital currency will definitely increase in price. Not afraid of negative information. And, it is evident that the price of bitcoin is starting to rise, now it has a price of USD 5229 and I'm sure it will continue to rise.

[reality18]

One thing I'm glad for in 2018 is, despite all the complains that came from most investors in 2018 about the long bear market, I stood my grounds and bought more of the valuable coins (first 5 coins on the market) because they were selling at relatively cheap prices. I bought the BTC at $3.7K, BNB at $9 and ETH at $80. Now, all these coins have increased in price significantly and have yielded much profit. It is never too late to invest now.

[3x2]

In 2018 people thought that bitcoin bubble which started in mid 2017 has busted, but i had hope for it as i never considered the crypto revolution as bubble. In 2018 the price kept going low and low, i had no money to invest in them.
In 2019 i am very happy to see that bitcoin and whole cypto market is rising back again, and i wish for long term bull movement.

[raise001]

I do not share the same sentiments, last year was not the worst year for crypto, it was just different.
There are still some people who think everything is going to always positive and without controversial sagas.

At least when compared to 2017, last year was not that great. Back in 2017, many of the countries legalized Bitcoin and the overall mood was positive. But the crash of the ICO market changed everything. Many of the governments became more restrictive and hostile regarding to Bitcoin in 2018 and ICOs were banned in a number of countries.

Because of acceptance by many country bitcoin price pump at 20k in 2017 thats why many country restrict in bitcoin and price gradually decrease in 2018 by 3k after all we r glad to learn from 2018.

[kiansantan]

The advantage that I get from the crypto market during 2018 is that I can buy coins with the amount I want. Because at that time the price of coins was very cheap up to 65%. • The benefits can I take now because the average coin price rises too.

[MFahad]

No doubt, 2018 was worst year for not only bitcoin even crypto currencies all were down and a huge investors faced a big losses in trading, including me. For me 2018 was very bad experience for financial wise and also crypto currency not helped me, Bitcoin was too much down and ETH also given me a loss. But now time to time it is recovering and i hope very soon we will see bitcoin in a pick.

For people who are optimistic about digital currencies, they have bought a lot of coins in 2018. in fact there are two sides, namely people who get profits and one side, namely people who suffer losses. those who get the benefit of course are those who buy coins in 2018 cheaply and those who suffer losses are those who sell their coins in 2018.

There have been years that Bitcoin is having a really bad time but 2018 is probably one of the hardest because it failed to sustain what it achieved in 2017, people are coming in because of the price moving upwards, but all of this was lost after a year, 2018 is a learning process for all of us and a real test for the community.

[Distinctin]

It so happened that everythings doing well, struggles ends up you cultivate something that is productive to yourself and even you have to work hard even for something much on what youre glad happening in 2018.Most of unexpected things happened when least expect it,just like on how handle worst situation when you have perseverance to pursuit on it.

[seoincorporation]

2018 has been one of the worst years if not the worst in the crypto industry. We had so many ups and downs but we are still around and looking forward to making it happen once again as it has always been. But amidst fhe turbulence that occurred there's still one thing I'm happy for, and that's some "psychopaths" failed their mission.

We all thought we had reach a bottom around 6K until some few people decided to ruin everything for all of us. Gladly, their mission failed (well, for now) and I'm really happy for that. I hope the same happens to anyone who tries to ruin Bitcoin's price furthermore.

Now Bitmain has layed off workers, boycotted plans to launch a subsidiary at a new country and having leadership troubles and oh, people aren't purchasing their mining rigs as before. Their best solution was to help find a way to pump Bitcoin but they ruined it.

If you have a product, start something and don't try to kill Bitcoin because ultimately you'll end up with undervalued coins.

Code: There's no crypto without Bitcoin

You can be glad now for the bum bitcoin already have. I know it starts as a bad year for bitcoin, even some big industries like bitmain looks in trouble, but now with this bump thing are looking great for this industry.

Let's hope the bump keeps moving on and hope to see btc at $10k, that will make the difference and send us all to the moon.

Yes, bitcoin has undergone its hardness time and 2018 is seems to be the bottle neck of bitcoin but still kicking and moving back on its track and maybe on the next coming years we will see the bull running as presently we see that bitcoin is now stabilizing and not downing at all.

[petermike]

I predict this 2019 will bring many new changes in the crypto. Bitcoin market that will quickly reach $ 6,000 price in the next year. New ways of operating the IEO appear gradually bring more signs of the extreme price than 2018.

[reality18]

Although there were lots of wailing in 2018 due to the bear market that came right after the December, 2017 - January, 2018 bull market. However, this presented a great opportunity for all investors out there to join the train. I for one bought some few coins at relatively low prices and have now gained more than 200% profit from them. BTC came down to $3.8K and it is now $5.4K which brings huge profit to its buyers when it was $3.8K.
It is never too late, buy now and wait patiently as Bitcoin gradually takes on its bull ride.

[bitzizzix]

2018 is the worst thing where the price of all coins has dropped dramatically, but actually if we think intelligently we have to be happy because that's actually our chance to buy coins because the price is low especially bitcoin.
and what we see now in the bitcoin market has increased to $ 5450 + and in my opinion will continue to increase and that is what it means in 2018.
