In my opinion I believed 2018 to be the year of ethereum, as well to experience good growth with majority of the altcoins.
LOL, 2018 is a bad year, it's really a year of correction, and 2018 was the worst year for crypto, especially the altcoins like ETH.
ETH high in 2018 was 1398 usd while its low was 86 usd, there was a major dump here.
To the expectation everything happened in the opposite manner. 2018 not the year of correction, but it was truly the year where people understood the true nature of cryptocurrency.
Whatever you think about that year, it was a bad year and we need to recover, well, hopefully this year is the year for big recovery.
