Im no techie analyst at all, but we will see upward moves in 2018. End 2018/19 will be bumper mega bucks year. The wallet has it made. Strap on your seatbelts, I have and we are going places at breakneck speeds soon.
Because of emission mid 2019 should be the boiling point. But emission is just one part that is getting more and more irrelevant. Year and a half is quite some time so I cant even imagine how Monero will look then. All tings worked on right now will be done. Many things planed right now will be done. Some things not planed yet will be done and maybe few things we ant even dram today about them will be also done.
When will XMR hit 1Kusd for the first time.
I'm going to guess Jan 2019.
As things roll right now that is quite pessimistic. I do high chance of 90% that $1000 Monero will happen in 2018.
The more I read about the monero, the more coins I want to buy) The guys you do not know the timing of the introduction of the Korvie update and the introduction of multi-signatures, at least approximate.
No one knows that. But multisig will be way earlier then kovri.
