Who here thinks securities will be the next mega trend in crypto? Anyone that can bridge wall street to the blockchain will win big. The only project I see doing this is Polymath.

Thoughts? Agree or disagree?

I disagree. I think the legal risk and uncertainty about future regulation is a major stumbling block to achieve this. Crypto does not yet have a good reputation on wall street. I think overall the integration of crypto and wall street will happen and has to happen but i think it’s still too soon. Maybe 2-3 years.

I think securities will be big this year especially with the sec regulations coming into light. Although looking at Polymath, they seem to be a company that will be able to side skirt a lot of the regulation since their clientele would be legit companies. Already joined their telegram group and now I'm just going to watch

I think 2018 will be the year of fully anonymous coins and untraceable transactions. (Zcach is already hiped, but other coins will follow it)

I'm investing in fully anonymous solutions right now:

1. Zoin is doing well: https://zoinofficial.com (They have really hard working developers, I have been following them since September)
2. BitcoinZ: https://btcz.rocks/en/ (The community is growing very fast and the coin is healthy)
3. Ethereum Meta: http://ethermeta.com/ (It is a new project but the idea of using untraceable transactions for building Anonymous E-Market Platform is amazing!)

It is better not to keep all your eggs in one basket :)

@jjbanks994. I did not read the article and I do not reckon there is a need to. The first question that should be raised is why does Wall Street need a blockchain, a token, or decentralization?

Blockchains cannot scale. Token offerings are 99% scams. Decentralization is only good for real cryptocoins, not for platforms that need to be mutable. 

the truth about new trend in crypto is the tech behind,,
i think DAG and zKsnarks will be the new trend in this year
and absolutely privacy is the most important thing in crypto industry for now

I think the cryptocurrency market will be our future, but I don't think this token is a very good token, I keep my opinion.

yeah xspec to 500

It's not easy to know which coin/token is the next unicorn - if it has real value it will grow.
https://cryptorated.com/ico-reviews/ (https://cryptorated.com/ico-reviews/) - shows you real ratings of ICOs to give an idea of which of the better chance of being successful.

No, I don't agree. Regulations may be too difficult to navigate, but if there is a project that can be compliant and somehow allow the freedom of crypto, it could be successful. But mega trend still depends on technology. We had Bitcoin's basic innovations, and then as you can see now mega trends of DAG coins with zero fees and quick txs without mining power attached - scalability, that is an example of what can become a mega trend.

Now if there were a tech that bypassed banking and still allow people to use crypto all over the world easily. That is the dealbreaker.

I disagree securities will be a big thing in cryptocurrencies, because they will track the value of the underlying assets.  Therefore they cannot massively inflate in value, which goes against the general trend of crypto.

Actually, thats wrong isn't it?  The naive and uninformed investors in cryptoland will see a "security backed" crypto and pile in, driving the price well above its real value.

Easy. Here are some bullet points as to why it would be beneficial.
-Functions better
-Provides liquidity
-Instant settlements
-Very low fees
-24/7/365 Trading

Also keeping securities on the blockchain creates accurate record keeping. Lots of benefits of this project.
