Because 2019 will be a great year for Crypto

While 2018 is approaching the end, many crypto-investors are turning their eyes to the future. Considering the tendency to bearish encryption that has dominated this entire year, not to mention two major market incidents, it is not surprising that everyone is more than ready to leave behind these harsh events.

However, some questions still remain unanswered: what to expect in 2019? Will the situation change or will there be more or less the same? Are you investing now, when prices are low, a good idea? These are the problems of every investor's mind right now.

What to expect in 2019 in terms of cryptographic value?

Understandably, after a year like 2018, expectations for the future are quite high. The crypto scene is still in its infancy, as many analysts have stated numerous times. Add some other issues, such as regulatory uncertainty, distrust from institutional investors and constant hacks, scams and theft that have been a significant factor in this and previous years, and it's no wonder the market continues to collapse.

However, there is much more. Due to the high volatility and the absence of real control over cryptocurrencies, a massive upward trend in 2017 brought the encrypted to levels that should not have been reached so early. For this reason, some analysts argue that what we perceive as a market crash is simply attempts by the market to correct and bring back cryptos to where they should be at this time.

Cryptocurrencies are advancing rapidly, but they too must do it gradually. Considering that prices have fallen rather low over the last 11 months, many believe that the surviving coins will continue to progress steadily in 2019.

2019 will be a great year for crypts and investors

Those who have been watching the cryptography scene in the last few months are undoubtedly aware of some events and projects that should have already taken place. Unfortunately, they have been constantly postponed, with the latest updates pushing them completely into the next year. Two elements, in particular, are important in this regard, such as the Bakkt grant and the decision of the SEC Bitcoin ETF in the United States.

Months ago, when Bitcoin's ETF applications were all things that someone would talk about, several experts predicted that 2018 is simply too early in the history of cryptography to expect BTC's ETFs to arrive. Those same experts predicted them in 2019, at best. Meanwhile, the SEC has continued to reject applications or push the decision further and in the future.

Now, as the decision was postponed again on February 27, 2019, investors recalled those initial forecasts. If they occur, and ETFs are truly approved, this will mark a big change for crypts. It is expected that institutional investors will finally enter the space at that point, since the risks of stealing their funds will finally be eliminated. This is due to the fact that they would no longer be forced to actually own cryptography in order to invest in it.

Investors are not afraid of volatility, but of security problems instead. If this problem were to be resolved, their concerns would be significantly reduced.

As for the Bakkt exchange, it would also show that working with Crypto is not as scary as it sounds. Not only that, but some of the big and influential companies like Starbucks and Microsoft will support the project. A reference from them is intended to induce at least some institutions to reconsider their position. The launch of Bakkt will also mean that the crypts are getting closer and closer to traditional usage, as their potential applications will expand.

In fact, there is a lot we can expect in 2019 and big changes are coming. While the skeptics are always ready to discuss it, the optimists remain enthusiastic, as the changes that are coming will forever alter the position of the crypt in the world.
