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. Its an impressive recovery, but its 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?
Altcoin performance should not be evaluated on price but on adoption. In that regard they're also largely failing. No coins had any major breakthroughs, there were some partnerships with large firms but no concrete information on how that would mean their coins would be used. Price is secondary to adoption because it follows it. If coins start having real world uses and adoption then their price will sky-rocket naturally instead of purely because of speculation.
