Adoption of decentralized exchanges will see an all time high in 2019, cross chain decentralized trading and atomic swaps will start to become the norm ;)

a true decentralized exchange provides many benefits:

• No need to give up control of your funds
• Censorship resistant orderbook
• Impossible to hack
• No concerns of fake volume and manipulation

This week Binance CEO CZ recommended (https://forum.saturn.network/t/binance-ceo-recommends-storing-your-crypto-on-exchange/3352/5) people store their crypto on reputable exchanges... but what is reputable? If you do not have your private key, well then can you really call it crypto?

What are your thoughts? Will 2019 be the year of DEX?

Yes, I am absolutely sure that during the year 2019 we will see a boom of new decentralized exchanges. The need for such exchanges is enormous. Take for example the most popular stock exchange at the moment - IDEX - it processes huge numbers of transactions every second! These are the exchanges we need and the more the better!

Yes i think dex or decentralized exchanges will become more and more important in coming months and years especially after increasing incidents of centralized exchanges being hacked and funds being stolen plus other issues like late deposits and withdrawals or missing transactions. So most of traders and investors will look for secure decentralized exchanges to keep their portfolio the only issue i see with the decentralized exchanges is low liquidity which will hopefully change soon.

I totally agree with you that decentralised exchange will take over sooner than expected because of it many advantage,one of which is resistance against manipulation of volume.

I heard it a year ago. In 2017-2018 had appeared first decentralized exchanges, like idex. I don't find any changes in my trading. The same functions and operations. I think 2019 will be a year of something more impressive.

I expect decentralized exchanges will become more popular than last year and hopefully they will finally outweigh centralized exchanges. Atomic swaps, x-chain trading and other technological improvements only help it!

It may not cause you a major changes in your trading but if you look at the security level, its better compare to centralized exchange since you have the control over your wallet. There might be no significant changes in the past years, but hopefully this year we can see now a more established decentralize exchange that prevent the hacking incidents just like what happen to cryptopia recently.

CZ can say all he wants, he is just trying to market his own platform, he is good at it. I don't see how decentralised exchanges can pull huge volume this year, centralised exchanges have BTC and Fiat pairs which is very important trading pairs for volume, though time will certainly tell but I see that happening this year

Dex is a solution to avoid such a hacked case, remember when forkdelta was getting hacked and the hot wallet still safe means if hacker can' t even access the wallet. DEX is our future exchange site. No more regulation and fake volume and manipulation.

I believe you are right
But still everyone has a right to their decisions

For me I prefer hardware storage no matter what binance ceo says
And 2019 has a lot in bag for us all

DEX offers to people for a safer way in keeping their assets. People who are afraid on their assets to hack should give attention to DEX. Since DEX can minimize hack cases, I am sure it will be prioritized to be the better places for traders. So, it is very possible if 2019 will be the year of DEX.

the part about "impossible to hack" is a challenge in itself, the claim without evidence is a big lie. It would be better if they held such a hacking competition for the decentralized exchange and if indeed they were successful, then it could be claimed as their benefits. I think even the old exchanges still have some issues with securities and we just can't make a trust with a new one.

Top exchanges like binance will not be at TOP if it is not reputable. What do you think why theyre categorized such as that? For me  of course security is the main reason and I believe a lot of people chose them because it. Yes, I agree thay there are advantages using decentralized exchanges but again we hsve different opinion on this matter. Whats yours?

An unexperience trader will listen to him. That doesn't make your funds secure if you'll use their exchange or any reputable one to store your funds. OP is right, as long as you don't have the private keys, you don't control your funds. It's better for me just to hold it somewhere where I can hold the keys/seeds of my wallet rather than trust what he say.

I like to use decentralized exchange because there we control everything ourselves, there is no minimum buy or sell, low fees and fast transactions, nowadays more and more people are switching to decentralized exchange

Most of decentralize exchanges have poor UI and not easy to use. Since the transaction speed is based on network like Ethereum, EOS, there may appear some struggles in transaction. This is what matters to some users. I hope people will have an answer to this problem.

I would like to add another thing to that list. The thing is no KYC documents needed. Yes, it is, users can trade, deposit and withdraw any amounts without any KYC verifications. I really like that decentralized exchanges. I believe decentralized exchanges have a good future in the crypto world.

Well,  normally we are using decentralized exchange but lately a centralized exchange firm were now going to operate which have a complicated step before you can proceed for trading , where for me is not in align with crypto currencies  .

The exchange is very much now and some certainly have a very good system. The exchange of decentralization must indeed be safe and easy to transact. The Dex exchange is very good and I think for 2019 this will be better.

As far as I can see, decentralised exchanges usually come with higher fees and slow. So I don’t see how decentralised exchanges will be highly adopted in 2019.
I will not keep my coins in exchanges, no matter whether the exchange is reputable or not.  It is really hard to say whether a reputable exchange will get hacked one day.

Sure you have higher fees and maybe it is slower, but this is the price to pay if you want true volume and an tamper proof orderbook.

You think the big exchanges volume is real? I don't  ;D

It is, with so many exchanges in the market right now, competing to be a decentralized exchange, we will have a new wave of the market coming up, this is something that we need right now, with so many hacking going on and happening right now.

The rate at which some projects are now going for decentralized exchanges is gradually on the increase.
Also, considering how centralized exchanges are subject to hack, this does not really happen when it comes to decentralized exchange, except with the issue of Etherdelta that was compromised sometimes ago. Yet decentralization is the most preferable, because you would have full control over your assets.

The CEO of Binance said exactly what he needed for people to hear, but in general I agree that decentralized exchanges have more advantages!

It is not really that easy to advertise a decentralized exchange. First of all there is no central place for it that could advertise it, there is no money like the central exchanges make so there is no costs but no profits neither which means there is no budget for it as well. I mean decentralized exchanges have only one chance to actually get bigger and that is going viral.

If one of them goes viral and gets heard by many people and get a lot of users, that could bring attention to it, aside from that there is really no way of getting bigger without spending money. Of course some person may start one and spend a ton of money from their own pocket without caring about profits and than can make it get it heard but that's really unlikely to happen to begin with. So, I doubt any of them will get any bigger in 2019 because its unlikely but if it happens it will happen all of a sudden and not slowly.

I hope so. There are a lot of dexes based on bitshares (+ waves dex + forkdelta + others) but the convenience and performance of such solutions is very questionable. Plus all of them are full of shitcoins and there are no really legit and reliable DEX yet.

The performance in decentralized exchange is really what make people avoid it, too many flaw and error however if they could eventually develop it to the point where it is nearly flawless and fast enough to compete with centralized exchange, I'm pretty sure people will be switching over.

I hope so. But now the problem is Crypto becoming unpopular for decreasing its price. Crypto going to Valueless, people getting disappointed. They expecting a better value but that's not happening. 2018 was a frustrating year, so hope 2019 will be best.

If you are unaware, this has been a thing. The majority of ICO's during the final months of 2018 were for DEXs, Binance and Huobi are both creating DEXs to be launched in a few months. This is definitely going to be a major area of focus upcoming, we are seeing a dynamic shift in terms of the meaning of decentralization; it's essentially has become a re-focus for many upcoming projects.

DEX's will ultimately control/handle more volume than CEX in the coming years, due to regulations and most of what the creator of this thread expressed.

It might be possible that 2019 will be the year of DEX, and winning exchange decentralization has many advantages, and what I really like about decentralization of exchange is that we have full control over our funds.

It's going to be and the strong reason is the recent hacked on Cryptopia, people want full security and they want transparency also because so many exchanges are manipulating the volume to pump a certain coin which is not good in the industry.

yes i believe that decentralized exchanges are the future of exchange it protects the information of everyone who used it.

We have seen lots of hack in various exchange including the recent cryptopia hack. People will get bored and loss faith in centralized exchange and will start using decentralized exchange from now if available. So, in 2019, there will be more  decentralized exchange and those will be flourish so fastly from now on.

Definitely we have to keep promoting good & safe practices for trading coins & tokens.

Just look at the list of documented exchange hacks:

https://blog.saturn.network/list-of-documented-exchange-hacks/

Centralized exchanges are not a safe place to store your crypto, better to have your private key and trade on a decentralized exchange. For example, on Saturn Network we allow wallet to wallet trading in one transaction this way you never lose control of your funds.

https://saturn.network

I do not understand how centralized authority (Binance) could create some decentralized solution? Currently there are only 2 true decentralized cryptocurrencies  - Bitcoin and Grin. Everything else was created by a group of team that hold majority of tokens/coins/power.

Of course, the emergence of more decentralized exchanges will reduce the number of hacks. But at the same time decentralized exchanges will not be able to give you a 100% guarantee of security, although they have a number of advantages over centralized sites. 2019 may pass under the sign of DEX and security tokens, but I still advise you to take care of the security of your coins and keep them on a cold wallet.

Decentralized exchange will be with the future of crypto but not the only future of crypto. There is another exchange known as centralized exchange. Decentralized and centralized exchange will be together promoting and servicing the people in crypto space as long as they can. Not impossible as we all know now there are a lot of exchange campaign either decentralized and centralized.

There's no way to stop a hack, there's no system that is unhackable, every system have its weakness, Decentralized exchange will be no brainer if the exchange is good and can compete with centralized exchange, if not then we wouldn't see it on the future.

In my opinion, i think that 2019 will be the future of Dapp. The Dex will need more time to replace CEX.

In my opinion, high-quality decentralized exchanges may well save the situation, because all large and medium exchanges require paying huge fees for listing tokens, which does not allow a huge number of projects to enter the market, but decentralized exchanges may have liquidity problems.

But it will help scam projects to make money more easily. I do not believe much in decentralized exchanges because most of them are normal projects and do not have a big deal from big exchanges. If you want a good development project, then choose the top exchanges

Not only 2019, the future years will be the years of DEX. There are reports that our identity informations are being sold on the darknet for a few days. The only way to prevent identity theft is DEX exchanges.

In my opinion there will be a high demand of decentralized exchanges in the year 2019. Peoples don't like manipulations and fake volume.
Also the problems with centralized exchanges of being hacked, stolen funds or required KYC.

I agree that we need more decentralized exchange in 2019. It does bring in some relief to the investor. We have seen exchanges closing down, being hacked and people losing their hard earned money. It's sad to see that we keep improving on the new coins/platforms but our development in trading/exchange platform is kinda slow. Recent attack on Cryptopia was a sad thing for many. The tweet from Binance guy, I think he kinda didn't out his thoughts together while sending the Tweet. Bottom line is if you don't own the private key to your wallet, it isn't considered as secured, period.

Keeping my fingers crossed for 2019 upcoming exchanges.

I think Vitalik remark about centralized exchange was largely exaggerated, without those we wouldn’t be even here since as today theres still no DEX that has event 20% of the CEX volumes.

BINANCE DEX, should come out this year and be finally a great competitor in the space and offer more liquidity and security of any DEX launched before!

I am agreed with you. As long as we are not holding any private keys, we are not the owner of our funds. We should use Decentralized exchange and I can see a better future  of Decentralized exchange. People will use decentralized exchange more than the centralized because centralized exchange are getting worst day by day.

Exchange for 2019 can be improved about security systems. Because if the exchange has a large cost and does not have good security, of course, it will also harm many people. The exchange should be more developed because they provide services for everyone. And as a trader, of course, we also need to be able to properly guard the password key.

The decentralization Protocol will soon become the most frequently used, regular phrase . Absolutely all existing projects on the blockchain depend on the constantly changing technological world. Another positive side is the lack of centralization, allowing to get away from government surveillance, payment of taxes, commissions, etc

DEX will ever get most of trading, but this will not be so quickly. Many do not want to learn into how it works, they do not like the low liquidity of these exchanges. Most newbies will most likely come for centralized exchanges. Crypto literacy does not come quickly.

Decentralized exchange in my opinion is a brilliant idea and it will develop, but I think that nuclear swap will develop better in 2019. In any case, time will tell.

I would like to hope that in 2019 decentralized exchanges will continue to grow. I like working for them much more than on ordinary exchanges.
I like the fact that decentralized platforms leave users with full control over their funds, orders and data, and at the same time full responsibility for their actions.

in the future these Decentralized exchanges will grow and many will create platforms like this, because with Decentralized technology and implemented at the exchange it will make security higher and certainly does not cost much to create such a platform because buyers and sellers can interact directly with his wallet directly.

It seems to me that in fact it will not work out, every day I am becoming increasingly frustrated in the cryptocurrency sphere, because now it seems to me that in general, cryptocurrency is not exactly what we expected.

Hey, you should not follow anyone's tips, no matter who, if you do not have your private keys, you do not have your coins or even tokens! The DEXs started appearing in 2017, at least the idea was well spread and since then there are jobs to actually become DEXs, without a federated gateway, there is no real DEX! Even with the true DEXs it is worth the premise that the most important thing is you have access to your private keys and not show it to anyone.

I think that in 2019 we will really see the emergence of a huge number of DEX from major exchanges. This is primarily due to the protection against numerous hacker attacks and greater security of users who prefer to store their coins on the exchange. But it is worth remembering that it does not give you 100% protection and it is best to keep your coins on a cold wallet.

Decentralized exchanges are slower than centralized if you noticed this. I don't know how they are doing it when they can afford fast servers.  Since the time from bitshares, openledger up to the time where etherdelta was up, its all slow that I have to move to my laptop just to see how much is the price of the token that isn't listed somewhere else but to such DEX. I'm not sure if its going to be the future, its unregulated and the government hates it. The government sets the rules by which the market functions.  

Recently, information about the media about hacker attacks is starting to appear very often, and in the first place, attackers target users of cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency today is still a very important aspect in making fairly good profits in the world of high technology. It seems to me that in the future the threat will increase.

for sure decentralized exchanges will take a huge leap upwords and this might be just the beggining. I see a lot of great comments about dex and it seems like the next big thing...

yes i am very sure that during 2019 we will see huge no of new decentralized exchange becouse it will become more and more important in coming months.i believe decentralized exchange have good future in crypto world

Soon, the Dexon Exchange should be announced, the developers promise very good exchange functionality and excellent airdrop.

As centralized exchanges would be hacked again and again, decentralized exchanges would be the future.
But it will certainly take longer for them to finally prevail.
Nevertheless, i am convinced that they will be used more in the future.

I think that decentralized exchanges are what you need for cryptocurrencies, but the problem is that centralized exchanges are more likely to displace them.

i think that this year the centralized exchanges and the dex will coexist, maybe the dex will be growing slightly but will not have the absolute dominion on the market...

Yes, decentralized exchanges are becoming more popular now. Still nice to know that only you have access to your funds. Therefore, I also believe that this year there will be many decentralized exchanges.

I think that not everyone wants to be responsible for their own funds. I think that decentralized exchanges are temporary instruments.

I think that every sensible person wants to be responsible for their funds or to have a 100% guarantee. Not all centralized exchanges are able to give such guarantees.

it's a good sign that appear more and more decentralized exchanges but they still can't compare to centralized exchanges which have the most trading volumes. may be in 2019 something will go differ.

Definitely 2019 will be the year of dex. Nowadays everyone is creating a dex . If you just scroll your mouse
through the alternate cryptocurrencies announcement section, you can find hundreds of ICOs for building
decentralized exchanges.

That is good to hear. Because I had a bad experience on year 2018, because most of the trade amount that I have traded in the exchanges at that time, I have seen a manipulation on the trades, and making it unfair to the trader.

YES.

What decentralized exchanges will be protected from manipulation when trading cryptocurrency, and will protect traders?

I can’t agree that decentralized exchanges will become more popular in 2019. There are no prerequisites for this yet. However, in my opinion, with increased control from regulatory agencies, decentralized exchanges will find their niche in the market and get regular users.

IMO, if Decentralized exchanges are the future we will by now start seeing big exchanges closing shop and moving into Decentralized exchanges, for me, CZ is trying to explore this option but as long as their is no fiat gate way for Decentralized exchanges they will still continue to play second fiddle to the centralized ones because we all know the importance of Fiat in the success of an exchange

Yes, most likely we will see the new decentralized exchange (65%) probability, since the market is still very young and it is only being born, it is accordingly necessary to understand that many want to snatch a piece of money and success, so do not be surprised, so there will be not only exchanges but also new projects appear

Decentralized exchanges are seriously now taken into consideration by so many projects.
Sometimes, when they list on centralized exchange, they may decide to include decentralized exchange as part of it, because they know that there are some people who prefer it.
Those who trade ERC20 tokens for instance, and like decentralized always prefer IDEX.

This might possibly be seen as the most popular thoughts.
At least, almost half of the projects I have been involved in, I have seen the community asked for decentralized exchange.
This is a sign that, it might be the mist demanded for in thus year and crypto enthusiasts are beginning to stick more to decentralization than centralization.

Well, those are what make the decentralized exchanges are so popular with its anonymity and other benefits to be gained in this crypto world. So far, there are many more dex than the centralized one. However of course, it will give the positive and negative sides because we may not be able to ensure that the exchange is trusted or not. But, so far, we can check them on CMC to define whether it is on the top list of not.

Unfortunately, while technically decentralized exchanges are much inferior to ordinary exchanges, if a convenient platform appears and a fast blockchain capable of processing a large number of transactions per second this year, then maybe something will work out, but it will not happen right away.

I like your idea. But how and why can we have such control?

 ;D And also do not need to confirm their identity and much more. I think soon we will all go on this exchange. Looking at how projects go on the stock exchange. Demand in decentralized exchanges is growing.

I am waiting for launch of binance decentralized exchange.
It will be something interesting for me, because at the moment only IDEX is a good decentralized exchange!

Not sure about that because we are signing to the exchange site use our privatekey if there will be a phishing site and it's too risky. He can't understand about that. But dex gives us non centralization of exchange site. So many dex ever get hacked but their funds never get stolen.

Decentralized exchanges are not so popular as their interface is not user friendly and they have no customer service.
DEX-es can also be hacked, they are  not an exception. ( EtherDelta was hacked end of 2017).
Have high expectation to Binance  launch of it`s DEX.

There have been very many Decentralized Exchange that I think are good. for example IDEX, Forkdelta. I often use both for trading purposes. Only with a private key, traders are facilitated to trade and take profits.

For me whether it is a decentralized or a concentrated floor, my hold coin should not be on these exchanges. This is dangerous as there is no need to put all the assets up here. As for non-central exchange, I think it still has too much to do to attract users

Decentralised exchanges are becoming popular by the day,except for the lack of volume, I think decentralised exchanges have so many advantages that make me believe that it will enjoy more support this 2019.

Without any doubt decentralised exchanges is taken over because of so many advantages attached to decentralised exchanges,is becoming popular these days.

The only thing I don’t like on decentralized exchangers is the price. Often the price there is too low. Will this affect the cryptocurrency economy? Although I like these exchanges very much.

Decentralized exchanges were always on top of my list and it was about time for them to catch value, liquidity , trust and a lot of new volume per 24h. I think 2020 will be main year when this exchanges will come to light.

I am sure that DEXs are the upcoming trend, because I prefer to trade on decentralised exchanges and always when I have such an opportunity I am doing so. But unfortunately there are no so much coins that could be exchanged on DEXs at good prices.

I don't think so, as the trend is absolutely opposite. I would like of course to decentralized exchanges became more and more, but it is unlikely to happen.

DEXes have their benefits but still they are not popular and widely used and centralized exchanges. I have big hopes
to Binance`s DEX and I will use it for sure.

The rate at which centralized exchanges are being reportedly hacked or losing liquidity is quite alarming. This might either be the work of hackers or even insiders, even at that, had it been the exchange one is using is centralized, then it would not have been possible for anyone to tamper with the fund of another, not even the creator of the site, because you have full access to your fund.

I also noticed that some of  my coins can only be traded on Decentralized exchange, and because of what happen to Cryptopia people will have second thought trading on centralized exchange, but we'll have to see if Decentralized exchange can really place centralized exchange this year

We already have so many decentralized exchanges and I don't think there is need for more. Some can still be scams. What if the server shuts down from the DEX service providers, you can still loose your funds.

I really noticed a lot of interest in decentralized exchanges. Especially in connection with the news of hacking reliable centralized exchanges, the question arises that DEX is exactly what we need. I agree with you that the number of such exchanges will only grow.

I personally like the decentralized exchanges because you can carry out all you trading without anyone even having idea of how much you have or worth.

The decentralized for exchange idea is a new step. But it has many development problems such as UX and UI that are too sketchy and error-prone. Not only with decentralized for exchange, most dapps have a similar situation. This is a difficult problem for ETH and other blockchain project

A lot of talks, promotions, lunch and execution of DEXes are really happening in this year and I seems that the level of response has really increase.
It is a gradual process. If the use of decentralized exchanges are the ways in which our funds can be safe, then it is much better

Well decentralized exchange will be great this year and as we know that some centralized exchange got hack many people will choose the exchange that they know their funds will be safe.

That's indeed and it was consuming a lot of fees for each transaction consider any transaction will be directly to the blockchain. But some DEX trying to fix it but the difficult thing is about how to attract the demand for this dex.

Eventually people will be moving to decentralized exchange because the purpose of crypto is to decentralized everything.
The current set up now is not attractive, we've also seen a lot decentralized exchange get's hack or traders got phished on the wrong URL.
It will take time to develop and to satisfied clients but I'm sure one day they can find the best feature that would guarantee safety to users.
