How did the Top 50 cryptocurrencies perform in March 2018?
Unless you have invested in Binance Coin only, March was definitely a bad month for your crypto portfolio.
Bitcoin performed less bad than most altcoins, as the BTC dominance rose from 40% to 45.5% last month. However, the total market capitalization dropped from 450 billion to 264 billion.
Let's hope for the best for April, Q2 and the rest of the year. There's a lot to recover since Bitcoin hit $20,000.
Here is the full overview.

at the time of drop the volume and price drop clearly shows the liquidity matrix . This is amazing options to choose the better coins . For the next run up and portfolio diversification liquidity could be the biggest factor . Thats why binance coins are loosing less . While bittrex had to delist a ton only to reduce load .
wow bitcoin diamond. Yikes :/
Almost all coins were in the red so no surprise top 50 most were the same. I may look into Binance. Surprise it held up so well and maybe a good time to open an account there.
That was a brutal month. But I take it as a good reminder that cryptocurrency is a high risk investment, and even though I am personally more of a true believer, we should all take pains to be prepared for any level of market crash. Even total failure.
That -50% month for Steem... wowza. I hope it doesn't get much worse than this.
Bring on the sub $1 steem, I need to fill my bag.
I'd be very surprised if we ever saw sub $1 STEEM again. Anything under $1.50 I'd buy like mad!
Thats about where i would be a buyer, i cant throw lots of money at it, but i am out of delegated steem power as of today, and now it's all my own steem, and more small buys if it stays near that $1.50 mark.
Risk- reward, you think more people would understand how that works. Solid investments tend to not have surprises in huge returns. Dont play the crypto game, how many of you traded World currencies? Stick to using crypto's like the dollar or paypal, use it where you need to. It's one of those things, you might get lucky if your not a pro or on top of the game. But chances are it's not going to end well for most people in the dark. Plus cryptos are not decentralized, no matter what they tell you. What you are seeing in cryptos is a wealth stealing tool of the rich, Maybe better said, the rich are passing their bills off on you and you are unaware. and they are now charging you to even transfer, to every business or person. Small amounts, huge volume. Miners are doing banks work for a fraction of the price.
This is very sad when market goes down like hell 😭
So what is the deal anyway? Are big holders selling their crypto? Are there less new buyers? Is it fud?
Just nornal market correction. You cant have the kins of growth we have had in recent past without a preriod of consolidation. No fud, just market correction.
Thank God. I mortaged my kid's future for 8 dollar Steem. He'd probably never forgive me if it doesn't come back.
Wait till mid-summer @acolucky, and then December. I would be surprised if we don't see some price action that will make a lot of us pretty happy.
Great info as usual.
Bitcoin approaching a key level at $6000, but I'm looking for a major bounce.
Steem also, approaching a key level at $1.00 If we reach $1.00 and cross the daily trend line and my line in the sand at $2.00, we have a shot of going higher.
Truly March wasn't a great month, not in the least. I have not lost in crypto alone, but also in fiat. But it is my hope and prayers that things will turn around that will redound to our good fortune. Thank you for a post with such good content.
yep, most my crypto is in steem so I did not get that much green although i did benefit from those 3 spikes last week by selling and rebuying
Thank you @penguinpablo I enjoy watching the CoinMarkets.today site I would love to see an animation of the full day or look back at a month worth of data and watch the flow from one side to the other and see how they are connected. I go to your site daily to check out the charts.
