2017 left great expectations for bitcoiners with respect to cryptoeconomics. Against all bullish forecasts, the market remained on the downside for most of the year. This made 2018 seem like the worst year for Bitcoin so far for traders. However, the price of BTC is not the only metric in which the performance of the ecosystem should be considered during the last 12 months.

The developer of Bitcoin, Jamerson Lopp, ensures that 2018 was the worst and the best year for Bitcoin, depending on the statistics you look at. In this work of CriptoNoticias we will take a look at the numbers that reflect how the BTC network really behaved in this 2018, taking as a starting point the data shared by Lopp.

The reduction of more than 60% of the quotation caused discouragement in the bitcoiners recently incorporated into the ecosystem.
