2019 will most likely to be a fruitful year for the cryptocurrency world.
We’re witnessing the beginning of institutional acceptance. Some big names in the industry already participating and taking the space seriously.
Moreover, Ethereum and Bitcoin have major updates scheduled this year.
- Ethereum launched Constantinople last January which is aimed to provide scaling solutions, better processing times for developers, improvements to Ethereum’s economics, and more. Second, is the Serenity, which contains various new radical ideas. Part of it is around a move from Proof of Stake (POS) away from POW. And the other big idea is sharding, so scalability — having a thousand shards compared to just one shard.
- Bitcoin's main focus for the time being is its continuous development on the Lightning Network which is scheduled to be released some time this year.
Aren't these good reasons to be optimistic for this year? It is for me.
