The biggest trend for me is the Libra coin and China plan to launch their own Cryptocurrency, it is two of the biggest trend and news in the whole 2019 that it generates a lot of buzzes, and added the popularity of Cryptocurrency, because two giants are now coming in the market, 2019 fave the way for big trends that are coming in 2020.

1. IEO (initial exchange offering)

2019 is not a successful year for IEO
In 2019 many IEOs were released but most of them brought disappointment to investors. One might realize that IEO is different from ICO only in that it is listed on the exchange.
The majority of current IEOs only want to attract capital from investors then leave. Many IEOs have a good deal of agreement with the exchange, first pumping and then dumping. This undermines investor confidence in IEO projects.

They screwed up again, ICO will be a thing of the past, and there's a possibility that it will happen to IEO now, the only exchange worth doing an IEO is Binance but it's not a 100% guaranty either, people will have to dig deep if the project worth investing and they are for a long haul, it's very disappointing that what happen to ICO will also happen to projects that are in IEO.

Does 99% of ICO's being either a scam or money grab constitute as trend?

since you bring this here, I want to ask you personally about how many projects that you managed that conduct ICO that has been successful this year? and if possible can you also tell us if how many projects this year that you managed that turned out to be a scam, both IEO or ICO. that info will help us a lot for future preferences.

Many of the projects they managed were fraudulent, some were successful, such as Vanta Netwrok and Neggree. There were also many fraudulent projects at the end of the campaign before and indeed the project managed by @btcltcdigger did not conduct such a rigorous study.
@yazher And what do you mean by reference to the future?

Investment into a major trend in the year 2019. Because nowadays many investors are flooded money since the start of the market opening 2019. It is potentially to bring the market to keep competing, especially on Cryptocurrency coins that soar at a fairly high price. I saw many developments that did not disappoint this. For trading or gold Digger is still running stable. I hope for Cryptocurrency continue to experience an increase or at least stability.

The only thing that Binance can guarantee is that the IEO they are doing is legit so we are sure that we are investing in a legit project, but you are right, after the IEO we really don't know what will happen as Binance has no control of it anymore and we don't know the aim or goal of the project, so we can't really say it's safe to invest as you might also lose your fund.

I believe it is when something that has been happening so often and becomes a big buzz in the community it becomes a trend, ICO scamming is one of the trend in this community, but one of the biggest trends apart from those on your list is IEO so many projects prefer to do their crowdfunding in IEO, which is a right decision.

Crypto lending is definitely the big trend for 2019. I do not know if you want to call this DEFI as everyone is saying, but crypto lending itself, using smart contracts, very fast growing but everyone is not sick of it yet. My worry is it bursts in 2020 and then again another bear market for ETH and all smart contract platforms.

In investing, the one that provides security is IEO, which is in the best exchanges, but does not guarantee it will be 100% profitable because we have to re-research because IEO provides security from scam projects but does not guarantee the project can be profitable.

Hacking, hacking is one of the most popular trends this year

True 
Few good exchange already get hacked in this is more than 2 times. I remember the latest information i get about hacking, and this is from Upbit get hack millions Ethereum.

I would add coin staking that also hype this year and i'm sure it will be always a good system that involved in cryptocurrency which have many users.
This kind of investment are the evolution of lending programs which most of them are scams, but coin staking isn't. This could be the best investment in crypto after bitcoin because the growth of our assets could be quicker and also we have to choose only good coins to do staking

Coin staking has been like an old hype even in 2016 I think was the real year of staking. I should know! I was spending all my time buying up PoS coins and staking them like no tomorrow. Returns were great in terms of coins but their value kept shrinking and in the end I wasted time and money as no exchanges would list them for enough volume anyway!

That's right, about the Chinese president who wants to implement the blockchain as the core for innovation and wants to launch their own Cryptocurrency and it seems like news about it has become a trend lately.
and includes trends about the predictions of great people and experts who predict bitcoin will increase by the end of 2019 and beyond, and that is everyone's hope to come true.

i agree on slaman . coin staking was old and not a new trend but its also true that there are now many new projects about staking platform and staking coins though i dont feel a big hype around them by this year  but i feel sad that you lost what you invested slaman  , i thought staking isnt risky at all but i found out to you that staking is still simillar to investing a crypto that thier value can potentialy drop if you wont act fast to cash out what you already gained  .

You can also include gram tokens one of the biggest ICO for this year own and created by telegram developers.but the launch date of GRAM coin has not been set for many reasons  ang one of them is the US law problem bacuase they maby citizen from us also participated in this ICO which is we all know that ICO is ban in that country.

Everything that really trends up are the exchanges. They have taken over the cryptocurrency market this year. Its all about them and their competition with each other. Even controversies are about them getting hack lol these exchanges dont have to dictate the market, its us traders!

[joinfree]

Does 99% of ICO's being either a scam or money grab constitute as trend?

Hahahaha, ibet it does, actually i think it's should be the foremost point with this trend. Damn it, i have seen so many projects rise and die like the strike of lightining moving across the sky. I can;t even keep up with the list as it's unending. However the lessons have been learnt and we have gained the experience hence we will not fall culprit to these kind of schemes anymore. Invest wisely guys!

Exchange is always in a trend, because everyone who is in contact with crypto always visits the exchange every day, be it traders, or investors, so that we can see competition from between exchanges, especially now that so many new exchanges have been born.

some BM are willing to exchange their good name for money, they run an ico project that is proven to be a scam. every BM should conduct research before accepting the project.
