2017 year of ICO, 2018 year of ...?

More ICOs.

I think we will see more and more ICOs and more money raised. They are working on marketing more and more and as the amount of investors increase, the amount of money will as well.

   
The fact is that the number of companies that conduct ico is growing very rapidly. I also agree with you that the fees and the amount of money collected are increasing. Are there any thoughts that someone will regulate the ability to collect money and their quantity? It seems to me that today there is no regulator. But in the future it may appear and the whole of today's situation will be a thing of the past.

I think that the regulator may not appear. Just will come a point when the amount that investors are willing to invest will be less than the amounts collected by ICO. The whole company will be more likely to fail the ICO, or to collect small amounts. After that, the risks grow and investors will invest more cautiously. It will be a vicious circle and market ICO is very much fall.

...decentralized exchanges and BTC with LN.

A lot of people are talking about the lightning network without even knowing that it may lead to a centralized network if some bank gets to have a lots of channels passing through it , which contradicts directly to the fondamental concept of cryptocurrencies which is storing value in coins and exchanging them between people without having a 3rd centralized party in the process and having to pay fees for it to not just make your transaction , but spy over your financial activities .. Lightning network might resolve lots of problems and revolutionize the blockchain as we know it , but people need to gather proper knowledge about it before starting to throw claims that it'll be the savior ..

ICOs are about to step in the game with heavy guns, so gear up 2018 for creme de la creme of ICOs

Indeed , a lot of companies are making smart moves by exploring virgin grounds such as sports and tv shows , which reaches a wide basis of people that don't know about cryptos and that will eventually get interested in it if they find advertisement for it in their daily consumed entrainement feed .

I believe 2018 will be the year of the DAICO. ICO's hard needed restructuring to give investors more security & safety. I strongly believe in startups, there's so much more to achieve in this revolution and I think the quality of these ICO's will just increase, giving more and more (near) safe investment options that could become very rewarding.

2017 was the year of ICOs, but what will be the most important thing in the crypto world in 2018?

I hope it'll be the year of altcoins that came from 2017 ICOs. Many good altcoins of them still didn't reach ICO price.

[Tony116]

As for me 2018 could become the year of altcoins. There always a lot of rumors at this market but if we take into consideration the situation with Tether this year could easily become the year of a huge crash.

[Dimedroll]

2018 will be the year of cryptocurrencies for payments. I think we need coin like ZEC or ZCL, because we need low fee transactions.
 
This should be an interesting year for crypto

[titusha]

I think that in 2018, crypto-currencies will become legalized and more reliable. The number of transactions is only going to grow, due to which many new people will come.
Also, I believe that 2018 will be a year of mining

[ajmapalo22]

2017 is the year of introducing ICO into the public as well as crypto market and this year will be the year of implementations of those ICO we have and maybe a year of converting things into digital market little by little. This year would probably marked the next step in crypto currency economy and I hope it will succeed.

if 2017 is the year of the ICO, I think 2018 is the year of competition in the world of crypto currency, where many people join and put their hopes by investing and transacting with virtual currency, 2018 proves the impact and influence of ICO which actually gives the pump to the real world either in business and transactions of companies and individuals. and it turns out that right now there's been an explosion of people who join and invest in the world of cryptocurrency, they think will benefit bigger than before.

[saycryptohello]

2018 will be the year of central banks and regulators who must finally decide what they will do with the cryptocurrency, how to bring them into the legal field. A large number of statements by officials and regulators in the last month only confirms my words.

[rmilly]

I say securities. With projects like Polymath where they are helping companies launch their own security tokens along with Gibraltar blockchain exchange (GBX) who are a token sale platform and digital asset exchange are both going to change the game. Lots to come with traditional finance moving into crypto. I would keep a close eye on these two.

The bitcoin is becoming an asset risky asset for new investors to enter, and so many enthusiasts have begun to move to low-cost cryptcurrency,hoping that they will be able earn money.2018  will be good for crypto world.

[GR92]

I believe that the 2018 will be the year of cryptomillionaires))And one important thing!!If you wanna be one of them(cryptomillionaires) you should give me a couple of merits

I believe and I would really like to see this year become the year of growth of really promising and necessary projects, and not the growth of various unnecessary things.

[Thadeous]

2017 was the year of ICO, 2018 will be the year of Mega ICO!  
Big ICO whales are comming.

[sserge009]

2018 will be the year of "public development" of crypto. such a huge public attention has not yet been and it is unclear whether this will benefit the industry or not. even the forum shows how many new people have appeared recently.

[Furgon Chino]

I still see 2018 as the year of ICO. The usual amount of money raised in every ICO between this year and last year didn't change that much but while last year to get a 50-100x profit you needed your coin to get in the top 20 this year to get that kind of returns sometimes you only need it to get in the top 100-150

[Devilz666]

I think 2018 will be the year of Privacy Innovation.


We might see projects take off that will threaten Data centric companies like FB and Google, or atleast they'll try to

[boltz]

In my opinion 2017 was the year of bitcoin in proportion of 90% and the rest is spreading among good alts like eth , monero etc and fresh new ICO's that have proven that are here to stay. So far 2018 seems to be the year of the ICO's ar at least q1 and q2 are full of ICO's and some of them have already an alpha product or even better so it's gonna be a year to watch cryptos for sure.
