First half: Looking back at 2018's "virtual currency" market with the Nemo meter

This year there were many events as well. In the coin I favor the most, NEM, it started with the 5 hundred million XEM theft from Coincheck, making it the worst year; but looking at the market, it can be said that every "cryptocurrency" faced a year of hardship.

The Financial Services Agency announced that the term for cryptocurrency from now on will be "cryptographic assets." This isn't a rule demanding that you must call it that, but which term is easier to say—cryptocurrency, crypto coin, cryptographic asset, or something else—will likely be decided by the public.

Personally, I think the umbrella term "cryptographic asset" is fine, because some of these assets are primarily non-payment functions like smart contracts and smart assets.

Let’s review the 2018 "cryptocurrency" market together with the Numa-meter.



Regarding the Numa-meter,please refer to this past articlefor the first half. It is (self-proclaimed) the trump card that shows the real state of the market and captures major trend changes (lol).
