There was nothing like positive news during the ‘crypto winter’ making the majority of the cryptocurrency enthusiasts to be very quiet. Now that the evidence shows that the crypto winter is almost over, investors, enthusiasts, traders, experts and analysts will start making wild predictions of the next bull run, partnership and other relevant speculations within in blockchain and cryptoasset industry. Indeed, the ice is starting to thaw.


While Bitcoin (BTC), the leading crypto by market cap, is showing some surprising resilience and its price is becoming relatively stable amidst the bear market, many factors remain to be looked at by Bitcoin maniacs. Among the factors that have made a significant impact include the SFOX volatility factor. Bitcoin has a market cap of more than $69.255 billion and the total MC is standing at around $134.226 billion, at press time. BTC/USD trades at $3,939 (-0.26% 24h), according to coinmarketcap
data.   

   

The Crypto Winter   


According to last month’s
SFOX Crypto Volatility Report, which was officially released Thursday, March 7, analysts weigh the condition of the cryptocurrency markets based on three metrics, i.e., the continuous advancement of the industry, the sentiment and the price momentum.   


The report showed that a weighty number of assistance from eminent people supported prices and revealed that:


“Some of the ‘hype’ that we mentioned was absent from the month of January appeared to resurface in February amidst pro-crypto statements from tech personalities (e.g.,
Elon Musk and
Jack Dorsey) and crypto pundits ‘calling the bottom’ of Crypto Winter.”   


Endorsements from eminent individuals are not new to the crypto industry, and one thing that the investors have understood is that propaganda in the digital currency sector possess a substantial bearing on the price trends though they are always temporary, most particularly the thin and illiquid environment facing the bullish cryptos.   


Popular individuals who say positive words on various projects are very constructive for a price change though they don’t naturally do anything else. One needs something strong to base on, not a throwaway comment from celebs.   

bitcoin Transactions Reach Highest Point in Over a Year   


The report contains some good news. Transactions on the BTC network increased to their peak level in over 13 months.   


“There were also more fundamental reasons to have a positive outlook on the market: transactions on the BTC network were at the highest level since January last year.”   


The report also highlighted the outlook of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), SFOX thinks that you might actually be in the minority since there is enough evidence this headline goes on amassing considerable purchasing appetite in the crypto market. 


“Even while some factions within the crypto sector question the significance and utility of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund, the market still seems to be fairly responsive to news about its potential: in the two days surrounding this news, the price of Bitcoin surged more than 7%.”   


Therefore, a trader shouldn’t dodge such important information, since the market will prove wrong all those who ignored stuff like this.

What Is in Store for Cryptocurrency In 2018?

There were many predictions by so-called experts in 2017 and no one was able to predict it correctly. Most thought bitcoin was a bubble that was about to pop and others predicted moderate increases up to $4,000. No one expected it to get to around the $20,000 and even though it has dropped, it has still settled around the $15,000 mark. What the mainstream media seem to be forgetting are the huge returns it has made over the year than the occasional profits taking. Anyone with a Bitcoin Wallet with a sizeable amount held in it over the whole year made a fortune and the same will happen the year ahead.

In 2018 we are going to see a “regulation war” as Governments will try to control the decentralized product. It is going to be a very difficult task to control a bitcoin Wallet and one which is doomed to fail. Rather than fighting the crypto revolution, they should be embracing it. It will only take one country to adopt their own state cryptocurrency and the rest will have to follow. There have been many rumors that China and Russia are going to release their own cryptocurrency. If this happened, the 2017 boom in cryptocurrencies will look like a drop in the ocean.

By the end of 2018 bitcoin may not be the number one cryptocurrency. The Achilles heel of BTC is the high financial transaction costs and unless this is resolved it gives others a competitive edge over it. That is why we are seeing the rapid rise of bitcoin Cash as it is far cheaper and should be a solid investment for the year.

Ripple has the possibility to become the world’s leading cryptocurrency in 2018 and has pushed Ethereum into third place. With the banks and hedge funds now dipping their toes into the crypto market, these two digital currencies are their preferred choice. That could send the prices skyrocketing and transform the sector.

In 2018 expect ICOs to be in the news a lot as these have transformed the venture capital sector. This area of cryptocurrencies is going to be under a lot of scrutiny this year and it faces an epic battle with regulators. Expect many ICOs to fail but the ones that make it will make the initial investors extremely rich if they are brave enough to hold onto it for the next few years.

It is not just the financial system that is going to be revolutionized in 2018 as the technology behind cryptocurrencies (the Blockchain) is going to have a major impact on countless industries. The main sectors affected will be consumer goods and retail, democracy, and government. higher education, manufacturing, technology, telecommunications and media, transportation, resources, and healthcare.

Conclusion

2018 is going to be a roller coaster of a ride and as the worldwide economy gets worse, cryptocurrencies will benefit. The regulation battle is going to get dirty but due to the decentralized nature, it should be able to survive the war. We are going to see inflation get out of control in many parts of the world due to the collapse in fiat money. This will escalate the economic crisis and the solution to it is cryptocurrency. It only takes one government around the world to realize this and the revolution will make the boom of 2017 look like a tiny blip on the chart.
