Been reading up on XMR and want to get into privacy for 2018. Like XMR because it's already established and should have stable/steady growth, which will be good for where it'll fit in my portfolio.
Are there any potential developments for big spikes coming in 2018? My understanding is that Monero is basically deployed as a working product and upcoming developments would be mostly just enhancements. Any chance at partnerships or any newsworthy moments? Or is XMR just a slow and steady riser?

Bullet proofs come in 2018. Bullet proofs will see a space savings/fee reduction of ~80% on standard 2 output transactions but much higher space savings on transactions with more than 2 outputs. After that the next big development will probably be kovri. I don't know if we can expect to see kovri on main net in 2018 though. The focus of the monero project is on steady improvement of the core product rather than flashy new "me too" features.
Great, thanks. Basically confirmed what I already suspected.
I've got some coins that I expect to pump more than XMR in the short term but am excited to move the profits to Monero in the near future.
