Topic: 2018 The year of the altcoin - page 2. (Read 3920 times)

in my opinion only a few months altcoin is very good in 2018 which is January to August. and until now altcoin continues to fall.

Smile, I was surprised reading this earlier not untill i’m Done reading it where I noticed, it’s an old topic. Altcoin and Bitcoin, they all turned down when it comes to value these days.

I, too, have been hoping for my altcoins for the last few months, but unfortunately so far none have even made x2 of the ICO price.

We take the positive side. If the decline occurs almost 90% then the chance for an increase will be 90% as well. Moreover, the current price is quite angry, if our analysis is good and choose a potential altcoin then when prices bounce we will get a profit.

Looking back 2018 was the year of the demise of the altcoin the majority crashed to 90 or even 99% of their former values. Let's hope that when we see the next Bull run perhaps early in 2019 that they make an equally strong recovery.

 i agree . 2018 is definetly the year for altcoin because almost all of them is experiencing a price decline and investors are happy with it , thats the main reason why they call 2018 a year for altcoins however  altcoins are not the only one that experiencing a price reductions because even bitcoin and other tokens like erc20 are also on the list  .  

meanwhile , let us hope that this incoming 2019 will now be a year for cryptos to make a comeback because many people do already lost alot of thier capital .

after taking this one year duration, the fact that 2018 is not an altcoin year, almost all cryptoqurencies have experienced price declines to date. I think next year is a good start for cryptoqurency regrowth.

We hope so but for all altcoins become green again, this red zone taking too long. People will chose what the best for them even look's impossible but never give up is the best option. Just protect your asset and try forex market for alternative, similar but with 2 direction activity, something old for new income.

There is only one cryptocurrency I’m aware of today, bringing some really cool technology into the space: DIVI.

Cryptocurrency is better than FIAT in several ways:

-Speed: Cryptocurrencies offer much faster speeds than, say, a wire transfer. These days, many cryptocurrencies offer instant or near instant transactions, which are far superior to 24–48 hours it can usually take with fiat. I have seen other posters mention that faster isn’t necessarily better, if you sent to the wrong address. New cryptocurrencies, such as Divi, allow users to associate each wallet’s public key with a unique name of their choice, which can be used by others to send funds or connect with them, instead of the long strings of random characters that are a wallet’s “public key” and are considered a big barrier of entry to the world of cryptocurrencies today. There will also be pin-code confirmation features, and other features to make it more secure and friendly.

-No middleman and completely trustless and decentralized. You don’t need to trust the bank to execute it correctly or at all(many errors do happen), it is entirely peer to peer.

-Can be used everywhere, by anyone, anytime…even if you don’t have a bank account or are sending to someone who doesn’t have a bank account.

-More secure, especially due to the decentralized/trustless factor. Digital ledger technology is virtually impregnable by attackers. The system is so complex that the attacker has to perform multiple attacks on multiple devices at once.

-Much lower fees than fiat. Nearly free, basically.

Really those are just a few of the main reasons, but overall cryptocurrencies are far superior in speed, cost and security than any fiat currency.

What else sets DIVI apart? Divi has a stated goal of mass adoption and the founders claim they want to make cryptocurrency as easy to use as paypal. Divi was created in order to address a number of the perceived barriers to mass adoption by the general public; Among those are speed, scalability and ease of use. Among the advisors of the team are Former CSO of Yahoo! Tim Sanders, and technologist Ramez Naam.

Divi utilizes a proof of stake protocol. The proof-of-stake system was designed to address vulnerabilities that could occur in a pure proof-of-work system. It was also developed to address the high energy consumption of bitcoin. The network is maintained and secured by masternodes. The masternode software is really just a different version of mining, with far less power consumption. it only requires the energy to run the client software on a computer, as opposed to running resource-intensive cryptographic hashing functions. The masternode communicates with other nodes in the network and keeps a copy of the blockchain, constantly checking and updating it. In return, masternode owners get rewarded with newly minted coins.

DIVI has many innovations, among them:

The first cryptocurrency using a 5 tiered masternode system. By doing so it claims to create a more decentralized system, since the entry cost is lowered and the lower tier masternodes are more affordable.

Divi advertises itself as the first cryptocurrency to implement the lottery blocks reward system. With this system, every week 11 winners will be randomly selected to be rewarded with extra coins.

-Each wallet can have various “Pockets”. For example, a user may have a public wallet that shows very little, or no cash inside, and then “dark send” it to an anonymous pocket. DIVI will also have an Oraclet feature.

-Scheduled payments - send money later, or on a specific date

-“One Click” Masternode Setup: Divi developed easier to use masternodes that don't require experts to install

-Divi claims to be the world’s first democratic blockchain. Because of the easy one-click masternode install, anyone can participate.

This thread just looks like an advertisement for some unknown projects. Don’t be allowed to be manipulated. Anyway I think that 2018 will be significantly productive year. It would be more serious than the previous year was.

Holding variety of coins together and controlling all of them is not easy but very difficult so best option is to trust mobile wallets jaxx coinomi etc.

This year, will be the year of altcoin! I always believe so! Currently, prices are still very good to buy and store in the long times!

Certainly this 2018 is a year of altcoin because more investors are now more than bitcoin because of its lower price and continue to fall.

I guess the year of altcoin is 2017. But 2018 is not end we don't know what will happen next. Altcoin now is at low or at down. but we should wait, the end is not near. There still a chance for everyone. There are some prediction but who knows. We should work and explore, explore our knowledge to learn more and to gain more knowledge from bitcoin.

Last year was a bitcoin breakthrough. Few have expected it to increase in value 13-fold. I don't think this year it repeats its success and surpasses the $150k mark. Most analysists predict a 40-60k mark by the end of this year. That's why it makes sense to convert most of your resources in altcoins which haven't realize their full potential yet.

I think Ethereum is the coin of future. Smart contracts technology, fast transactions, open source these are major advantages of the coin. Ethereum the best!

would probably be the year for bitcoin and altcoin,
because bitcoin has been corrected and bubbles have broken out last time

If bitcoin for a long time will not yet eliminate its shortcomings with scalability, it may grow in price more slowly. That is, he will give a small profit and investors can then switch to altcoyins. With the general growth of the Crypto currency closer to summer, it can be a very good time for the Altcoins and they will grow well in price. Slow rise in the price of bitcoin will positively affect the image of all the crypto currency.

2018 is the year of cryptocurrency. in the previous year cryptocurrency only in the know by people who understand about the internet. now people who still lay about cryptocurrency have started to learn about cryptocurrency. because it's been a lot of success in crypto and they also want to succeed in crypto.

I also think that in 2018 altcoins will give big profit to all of us and will grow faster then bitcoin
