I said it before and I say it again - 2019 has just begun and till the end of the march i wouldn't be so sure with such theses about complete stabilization of the market. It's cryptocurrencies guys, you never know what will happen. It's very fluent and volatile, so for the new ones in the game - you have to adapt to it, there is no other way. But hey! It's not as bad as many thought it would be (including me). After 2018 breakdowns it's really nice to see bitcoin and some of my favourites altcoins growing up on many exchanges.
The market is recovering, that's for sure. Prices of coins from the top are stabilizing, especially Bitcoin. As for the resto of the coins, it depends. Some of them didn't survive the market situation from the end of 2018, but some made it and now they're keeping to improve (like FuturoCoin, but in this case the partnership with Formule 1 may be a reason of growing attention around it).
But I think we have to wait few moths more to be sure that market is truly stable.
I agree with the fact that it is a bit sad that so many cool projects just couldn't handle the recent bear. To be honest FuturoCoin is one my favourite ones, 2018 was very harsh to them, but they manage to enter 2019 with a bounce and now the price is going up - which is gleanings of that sponsorship you've mentioned or the fact that they are available on more and more exchanges. Recently they themselves on
BitForex. I heard couple of days ago that they are planning to fork.
It was said here in this thread before, that if more countries and organizations will contribute to our case it would be better for exchange, it will make it more stable. I am happy to see that countries like Bahrain, South Korea recently made some regulations for their citizens. Looks like 2019 could be a decent year for us.
