The worse part of 2018 was the altcoins honestly. The coins that gained attention during december that really had people get their hopes up and definitely promised a lot of good stuff has been dealing with a lot of drops in price for a 10+ month stretch now. Even bitcoin goes up and down time to time whereas ethereum only goes down, the price is what not about 200 dollars? This was a coin that worth about 1.5 thousand dollars just a year ago and here we are looking at it like how did this even happened.

It is of course not just ethereum I am talking about, that's just an example, almost every single coin has dropped insanely, when bitcoin goes down the alts go down with it and when bitcoin goes up the altcoins go down in bitcoin value because of it, there is really no way altcoins can win this fight until a huge bull comes.
