_{CoinGecko Speaks}

First, a word from CoinGecko

It's wonderful to see the reversal over the past few days! Could this be the bottom everyone was waiting for? or is is merely a slight correction? No one knows!! While this year is undoubtedly rough for all of us in the crypto space, lets not forget about the things that matters.

Christmas is upon us, and with it, the end of the year 2018. This year had been fruitful for us at CoinGecko, despite the challenges we've faced along wiht everyone else in this space. However, never forget this; While the onlookers see a barren field, the farmer knows his crops are germinating.

Lets all be hopeful that the challenges of 2018 brings us good change as we usher in 2019.

_{CoinGecko Updates}

Christmas mood is upon us! But before we all head home to open our presents from Santa, we did get a few things done for you guys!

1. Merry Christmas!!

Who says the Christmass mood should get in the way of frantically checking Crypto prices every 5 minutes!! For a limited time, you can turn on Christmas Mode on CoinGecko.com and make it snow!! In case anyone is asking, we can’t make it rain, sorry guys. 😅

2. Christmas NFT!

You’d think that’s the only Christmas gift we’re leaving you? Absolutely not! We’ve created 80 Limited Edition CoinGecko Christmas NFT (Non-fungible Token) up for grabs! Want to get your hands on these cute little Christmas Geckos for Christmas? Head over to https://xmas2018.coingecko.com/ to read more!!

3. CoinGecko App

In case you haven’t heard of it yet, CoinGecko has its own App! Be sure to download them on Google Play Store and iOS App Store!

You heard it here first, CoinGecko App is about to get revamped!! Due to popular demand, we’ve included a ‘Favourites’ tab to get all your favourite coins on a single page!

Make sure you don’t miss the update and tell us what you think! We’re listening to every single suggestion from you guys.

4. TomoChain Voting Calculator

We’ve created a tool that lets you easily calculate your staking returns over a year as a TomoChain Masternode Voter. Did we already mention our Masternode Candidacy on Tomochain? This is part of our exploration into the Delegated Proof of Stake space. Maybe we’re looking at Steem next?
