[ 2018 and Cryptocurrencies ]

It is vitally important, before investing, to understand the context because there is a real risk of losing your investment on this markets. That's why today we're going into the blockchain ecosystem and it's status!

The context

2018 will undoubtedly be the most important year for blockchain technology as robust markets with long-term real value will be established.
Projects related to interbank value transfers can be expected to grow by leaps and bounds, such as Ripple.
Decentralized microcredit offers will be booming, as well as money services to the unbanked; many large and medium-sized businesses will accept payments in crypto-currency and debit cards that allow the conversion of fiat to crypto-currency and vice versa, will be products of high demand.
We already saw great beginnings in the year 2017, cards like TenX in Europe and recently Centra in the United States, allowing holders to easily spend with cryptocurrencies.

Value and functionality

Bitcoin, despite being the oldest blockchain, will exceed one million Mexican pesos, but will only be used to store value.

Ethereum becomes the most used blockchain and becomes the second cryptodivisa in reaching 5 zeros of Mexican pesos per unit.

Scalability will continue to be a problem for this year, and blockchains like Cardano and EOS are looking to solve it, we will have to see how they perform. EOS becomes the direct competition of the main cryptomontage Ethereum and is predicted as the best version of a useful decentralized global supercomputer.

There will also be exponential growth in blockchains like:

• Bitcoin Cash

• Stratis

• Bitshares

• Litecoin

• Omisego

• Steem and SBD

• Monero

• Verge

• Dash

Regulations and problems of everyday life

On the other hand, volatility will continue to be a matter of concern, with many significant price corrections likely to occur.
It is important to pay attention to the series of events in the market to detect a catastrophic downturn in time.

In 2017 we saw China's regulatory actions banning ICOs, which triggered a major correction in September.
Recent SEC publications show that you may be leaning in the direction of strict laws as well. However, the SEC could proceed more cautiously to protect innovation in the sector.
We can list several charity events such as:

1.- Nasdaq & Futures with Bitcoin.

2.- Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs (institutional money coming in).

3.- Scalability for mass adoption and lower fees.

4.- Global attention to the market.

We will also notice a "fashion by the blockchain". There will be a general rise in altcoins, while a lot of money will be going into fraud due to the lack of consinsa, clear and simple information on the Internet.
Many experts from the old school will appear who will most likely, in their attempt to understand these new paradigms, misinform their partners and stakeholders.

Finally, with respect to Mexican regulation, it will have to be open to these new markets to compete against the strategic moves of the Trump administration, such as Banxico's reaction in June last year.
