The 2018 year of one bear to the end has finally passed, and people can't help but look forward to the arrival of 2019! Will the digital currency led by Bitcoin rise sharply? Where will the development of blockchain go? This article summarizes the opinions of authoritative people from the international blockchain industry to see what their predictions will be for the development of blockchain in 2019!

Eric Piscini: The beginning of 2019 is the best time to invest in digital currency

What can we see in 2019? Here's what I see happening over the next 12 months:

Investing in the bottom: If we haven’t reached the coldest point of the crypto winter yet, I believe we are very close; brighter and warmer days are coming. The beginning of 2019 is the best time to invest in digital currency. I call it the new Rockefeller moment.

A new Howey test: The SEC's increased scrutiny of blockchain means blockchain proponents will have to look first at SEC v. WJ Howey & Co., the 1946 Supreme Court ruling in U.S. law Cases defining securities in . I hope the courts will put a new test on blockchain and give investors more confidence to commit their money.

Better Core Technology: Perhaps the bear market has made this clear to some, but blockchain is not about getting rich tomorrow. We need to focus more on performance and scalability improvements and less on new projects.

Killer consumer app: While blockchain conferences are the killer app of 2018, we're still looking for products that bring the value of blockchain to non-technical, non-business consumer groups.

I expect 2019 to be the year the SEC and the blockchain industry will go head-to-head. The industry will challenge the SEC's lax and ultra-conservative interpretation of the Securities Act, applying it to good ICOs and tokens.

Hopefully, entrepreneurs and the industries they represent will lead by example, pointing the way to the future of ICOs and the innovative token models they create.

As 2019 begins, it's time for us to reflect on ourselves. What should we hold on to? What should be discarded? It is more important that we focus on the right things so that we can overcome the noise.

Now the blockchain is still in the early stages of development, and there are still many new things to emerge in the future. Either good or bad, but these are all very positive.

Crypto in 2019 will revolutionize the way we transact, privacy, ownership and many things we can't predict. In the short term, market conditions will be brutal, but this actually helps foster real value that is not yet priced in.

In short, it was the worst of times, but it was also the best of times.

As we head into 2019, I look forward to progress on two fronts.

The first is to go beyond retail and create a crypto ecosystem that enables institutional investors to participate in the crypto and blockchain revolution. Let’s not forget that crypto is the only asset class in history that didn’t start at the institutional level, and as a retail-first phenomenon, our ecosystem lacks the institutional infrastructure. Consequently, a concerted effort, alongside global regulators, is putting all the right functions and solid foundations in place for institutional fund managers to enter the space.

I firmly believe that as the adoption of a wider protocol network continues into 2019, the industry will return to its all-time highs built on stronger foundations.

While Satoshi’s Bitcoin has survived 10 years, the question remains, “What does it mean for 2019 and beyond?” Central intermediaries are still a real part of our economy. The financial sector is exploring permissioned private blockchain applications instead of cryptocurrencies. Therefore, I remain optimistic for 2109, especially for approved private blockchain applications.

As Warren Buffet wrote in his chairman's letter in 2002 after Berkshire Hathaway suffered major losses: "After all, you only will find out who's been swimming naked."

In 2019, we expect to see corporate mergers and alliances that enable them to offer digital asset products to institutional investors and offer creative solutions aimed at building infrastructure and efficient liquid security token markets. Dynamic partnerships and configurations within blockchain and the wider industry will produce leaders who drive change.

But I would like to see a new generation of empowered entrepreneurs continue to lead the way to institutionalize encrypted digital assets and continue the long-running digitization of finance that has been around for decades.

As the exchange's first female chair, I am full of hope.

Stablecoins are more widely adopted: Next year will be a battle between centralized and distributed players. Stablecoins like CENTER Foundation's USD-C and MakerDAO's Dai are likely to become the foundation of the Ethereum blockchain gaming ecosystem. As users start earning money on the platform, users will cash out in the stablecoin. All digital goods will be priced in USD rather than ETH or other currencies for easy conversion.

Boundaries between play and work are broken: consumer mining and wagering games will blur the line between play and labor. Users will know how much they can earn in a certain time frame. As the liquidity of blockchain games begins to increase, users will know exactly how much they can earn playing a game for a given amount of time.

It may be a while before digital goods live off the blockchain, but it shouldn’t be too long from now.

2019 is sure to be an interesting year, with a lot at stake. Billions of dollars are still being poured into blockchain R&D and projects, and it’s not just Bitcoin anymore, the race for mainstream coins is on.

Blockchain infrastructures are barely laid out and tested right now, some of which are clearly superior to others. Which protocol will be the next IPv4, HTTP, SMTP? Who will build the first MySpace? Which network will blow our minds with fiber-optic speeds? Whose new idea will one day replace Reddit, like Digg?

We're veering away from the rapid pace of speculative markets, which, to be honest, caught me a little off guard.

2019 will be the year we really find out which team capabilities, which technologies are scalable and flexible, and the applications of "fresh" ideas we see every day.

People have the potential to create real, revolutionary value in the coming years. This will not be the short-term capital creation that ICOs brought about in 2017. Will go deeper, take longer, and spawn from unlikely places.

Those who will have a lasting impact and create the most value will be those who can build in bull markets, bear markets, and out of the market. They have the foresight to foresee the unexpected, the hindsight to learn from the past, and the insight to solve problems in unprecedented ways.

They will use their team, tools, knowledge, and community to not only build for the next wave of users, but also help bring in the next wave of users. They will use blockchain to build better solutions.

It's easier to build a product for your existing environment and existing users, but it's short-sighted and will leave you behind in the long run. Find inspiration from outside this space. Learn from legacy companies that have been around for decades or even centuries. Take the time to understand the motivations and needs of people around the world.

The dot-com bubble didn’t change the internet, and the past two years won’t change the blockchain either. We need to look back at the entire history of the Internet to see how it has evolved over time. We need to examine how the Industrial Revolution affected every aspect of our daily lives. We need to remember the enduring impact of the Renaissance on intellectual inquiry.
