If 2018 is the year a difficulting for the cryptocurrency, investors are expecting a growth in the year 2019. When large institutional investments start to increase Bitcoin prices, the popularity of search terms like "Bitcoin" on online sites will start to increase, this again leads to a new wave in the electronic money community. More and more central banks are researching the use of electronic money, they want to understand how electronic money and Blockchain technology can affect their countriesThese are the reasons why electronic money will become more popular in 2019. And you, What do you think about the future growth potential of electronic money?

I'm not to optimistic of 'large institutional investment' been thrust into bitcoin.
But popularity and increased adoption would surely have a positive effect on the price.
And more governments and sectors are identifying the potential in the blockchain technology and digital assets.
2019 could well be a good year, 2018 has not been bad so far, we have seen increased price stability and a higher support than previous years.
But we all want a big bull and lots of FOMO, hopefully that comes soon.

It most likely, bitcoin increase its value in the end of the year and the start of new year. But many will always consider the investors at that time. I am not sure why this time of the year is the most active, maybe because most of the people have their pay double and some institutions is doubling their profit. And bitcoin is one that comes to their mids in terms of potential investments. So lets just have to wait and see the future of bitcoin in the end of 2018 and of the start of 2019.

We are witnessing a genuine interest from all over the world regarding bitcoin and the technology it packs with it. And in that note, the future of electronic money is somehow secured. It is set to snowball in the coming years.  And this status is largely because of bitcoin. Bitcoin has proven to the world that there could exist a peer to peer system reliable and secured even without a central authority. And i really think bitcoin made many people not only interested to try electronic or digital money, but bitcoin made them trust too in such idea of a useful currency. Thus, we can expect a lot of growth in the near future.

Enthusiasm for electronic money has existed since the bank introduced debit and credit card technology. and it is growing, because banks also expand to remote areas, so that people begin to believe in using the technology for all their financial transactions. Plus, access to information is increasingly massive since the presence of a smartphone that has an impact on the increasingly popular of the use of electronic money.

I really doubt that central banks are researching because they wanted to take advantage of electronic money. What they're interested at is the technology behind it, which is blockchain. They hated crypto because its a threat to their existing financial system.


The future looks bright. Eventhough we have seen a lot of negativity and countries becoming hostile to crypto, there will be nations who will support it because of its potential. We have seen countries enacting laws to support crypto/blockchain/ICO's. So its just a matter of time, maybe 2-5 years its full potential will be realized.

No, they aren't even concerned on the welfare of cryptocurrencies as long as they can push their agenda and use the blockchain technology for their own services. Seeing how efficient and excellent the blockchain tech works for bitcoin, they want to incorporate it into their own systems and market it as 'cutting-edge' technology to fool people once more. Nothing special here, just a typical banker's move if you ask me.

As for the future of bitcoin and digital money, it can be integrated into a lot of FinTech services and other sectors of the society as well, but we're far from seeing it (crypto) taking over fiat anytime sooner, though it can already co-exist with it side-by-side.

2019 is just around the corner and its an open secret there are currently some behind the scene researches going on in the utilization of blockchain and its applicability to the current financial system where they can co-exist. However, I would not express much optimism because while four months from now is 2019, so also is the next fourteen months from now and when there is no timeline to an objective, its best to say it will remain un-achievable and that is exactly this open-ended wave that is expected to happen in the new year.

Electronic moneys would be more popular in the coming year but that does not metamorphose into boost for bitcoin because there are several methods that is presently in place which would be improved upon in the drive towards a cashless economy. For the institutional investors, its best not to bank on them because its during the time of increase in plans that there is leaking of news about their own plan to launch just to boost their popularity in the market after which, it goes back to development phase that won't see the light of the day until another increase in price.

The year 2018 has disappointed a lot of crypto traders and this will dampen the spirit of those who are interested in electronic payment system as a form of investment. In 2019, if increase in research in blockchain continue in a larger scale, it can help the growth of electronic money.

Certainly, there is no doubt that what they are really looking at is the technology behind it which is the blockchain technology and how they can inculcate that into the fiat system in the long run.

Crypto however may be a threat to their existing system, but unfortunately for them, it is just something they will not have any other choice than to come around to accept eventually as we are beginning to see a lot of banks beginning to see how they can tap from the existing benefit that lurks obviously in the crypto space and we sure know it is anything for the profit when it comes to banks. The potential for future growth of electronic money has always been there and we are already experiencing the growth actually.

Right, since then we have seen people actually tending towards the cashless age gradually as they use these cards to end up paying for stuffs actually. However, with the way things have even advanced further with blockchain technology today, which would even make the growth to even get surplus in the long run.

We are beginning to see people getting the glimpse of the cryptocurrency space as well as blockchain and its disruptions, and we are also seeing the likelihood of experiencing real life usage gradually with some of the developments coming up and all these things, would really be of great help for the growth of the space in the long run.

as long as there are many fraud schemes in 2018, it seems that there will not be many interest changes in 2019. and this is actually our duty to be able to attract many interested people to invest their money so that it can trigger the growth of bitcoin prices. our hopes are indeed very strong for bitcoin to continue to grow, but this is sometimes not in accordance with what we expect

I'm optimistic of the growth of cryptocurrencies in the years to come. Even when internet is just starting, many criticized it that it wouldn't make a difference to our lived but now, almost all our transactions need internet connection. I believe it would be the same in the future wherein we would need cryptocurrencies for our transactions not only as payment option but to use it in other things that have value by using smart contracts.

you are making a couple of common mistakes in your assumptions here.
- institutional investments is not equal to price rise. in some cases there may introduce even more manipulation and price drops.
- search results and the increase of it doesn't mean price rise is on the way. the only relationship between the two is that when price rises there is an increased interest in bitcoin so there is also an increased amount of search about it.
- banks looking into blockchain technology doesn't mean a price rise for bitcoin or other altcoins.
- and like always bitcoin price rise and its adoption does not bring altcoin price rise!

We are expecting a very high future growth of the use of blockchain technology and electronics ' currency.  Many people are becoming aware of blockchain technology and how it could help our economic live. I spend about three to five hours everyday online to look for electronics investments opportunities.

Since Bitcoin was $15000 at start of the year and will be under $10000 at end of the year. When 2019 start will be a lot of bad publicity because of catastrophic Bitcoin performance in 2018. Rare fresh people will look at Bitcoin. It will be time of darkness in Bitcoin land.

Keep it up with your strategies and we don't know someday next year you'll be earning that profit without expecting any dates. It will remain an unpredictable matter which will surprise us when choose of this type if digital investments. Even if we find it hard to happen, it doesn't mean we're on that crossroads without a better change to happen and the only thing that's not permanent in this world is change.

How about that change is not what you expect for mate, we did not know what's going to happened with the investments we had in the future. That's possible with other invested coins but being certain with our holding to soar for much higher and profitable price, still remains a stereotype idea. What I am expecting right now, is the growth of electronic money which could probably be struggling for more changes and in order to survive for that don't ever expect but rather prepare for the worst to happen generally.

Its the best and correct ways of handling yourself specially nowadays we're on the volatile period which suddenly fall us back again to crying times and hardships. But by virtue of no choice we still prefer to decide of holding that crypto, in order to gain for better profit growth.

I think the world are getting ready for the electronic money, many countries start their research on the crypto and blockchain but they were more interested in the blockchain not the crypto, I still doubt big institutions ready to accept Bitcoin because there are still no clear explanation from government whether the government going to ban or adopt it

The realization of having electronic money for the future is really in the use right now, But a potential that we can use it worldwide is a very unlikely possibility, I really think a lot really like the idea and convenience for a fast transaction and this will sure help save time,

We are in a modern age now and taking a step further ahead and upgrading the system we are using right now to help in a convenient lifestyle is on our grasp, In my opinion, electronic money is very common this year and in 2019 it can be fully developed into something more advanced and have a modern feel to it.

Indeed mate, we will see how technology develops for much higher and advanced techniques to eliminate those potential garbage outcomes which may occur. With electronic money this coming 2019, I guess it will become more prominent and as per people's feed back in most public communications or forums they preferred the modern way of transacting money.

The good part we are missing out is that "electronic money" which is basically digital money is favoring us more than fiat. Right now we are all in charge of our money and we can do whatever we want with it. When the banks controlled our money there wasn't that option for us because they controlled the money and what to do with it. Take a look at the investments of the banks, they are basically so big that they own almost 90% of all stock market, just banks, owning 90% of all stocks (meaning the companies with it as well) means banks ruled all business around the world as well.

With taking our money away from banks and into crypto and hopefully one day manage to live with that instead of fiat we are killing banks slowly and they could potential cripple the market but we would not be bothered because even if the fiat devalues (great for crypto) and markets collapse and everything worth more (great for crypto prices) and companies bankrupt for cashlessness (not so great for all of us that works there but great for crypto) we would still be coming out top and taking their powers from them.

On 2019 the percentages of the users to use electronic money may to increase but there is no guarantee the price will also increase following it and because people are tired to see bitcoin price on 2018 and it is normal if they expect next year the price of major cryptocurrency including bitcoin will be rise up too but i think this is pure of speculate

I will not predict anything about the future because I myself do not believe in predictions. I think that those who analyze the market and give predictions would not be sure 1% about their predictions. I can say one thing that due to blockchain technology things will change in the future and so currency. People will use digital currency in the future but not in the next year. it will take long time.

Yeah I agree with you. It is right that blockchain will bring innovation in the world in the near future. People will use mostly digital things and currency is also one of these things. Blockchain technology will help cryptocurrency to take over the currency market. The use of other currencies as well as fiat will reduce and gradually disappear from the market.

"electronic money" is not something that rises. most of them are stable like Paypal which is equal to the value of 1 dollar.
part of this "electronic money" is altcoins and they are too vast to be talked about and speculated like this. in fact majority of them will die in the long run as we enter 2019.
that leaves bitcoin which is the topic of this board. and we all know bitcoin has a lot of potential even those who deny it publicly. with this year being the bear market and for the past couple of months price being stable we should start seeing rises soon leaded to a rally in 2019

Electronic money is taking over our financial system and we should expect bitcoin which was not a talk of big media house before to become the most talk in 2019. I believe that we are at the time when we should expect much from electronic money as the world is becoming more interested in it.

Electronic money is no longer a matter of viability, it is a matter of time. When a decade ago, perhaps it was thought the so-called unbanked and those living in broken or developing economies would again falter in adoption, we've now seen excellent use cases and prime success stories of alternative digital money: Mpesa in parts of Africa keeps springing to mind, where even without big internet networks, the affordability and widespread use of mobile phones have helped many people finally embrace and use e money in their daily lives, whether or not they truly understood how it works. That many of their users are still unbanked makes it even more special.

They didn't need big institutions to accept them, on the contrary they thrives because big banks ignored the needs of people. Bitcoin will find itself in the same situation.

Similar to you mentioned that 2019 might attract more demands from new investors,many companies will accept BTC as a payment instrument that other companies have done before them and that is also a point that attracts the company's colleagues.
