I thought 2017 was the year of SegWit 
This should be the year for Lightning Network and atomic swaps. But of course, I get the point. This year will see those who don't adopt SW lag behind the rest very quickly. I'm really hoping for more sites to come onboard, but as soon as the big guys like LBC and Coinbase do it, the others will have no choice but to follow or be left behind in the competition.
Once they do, we'll even forgive and forget that all these services deliberately decided to wait - I know it's not an easy nor a simple task to port over all their systems and wallets to SW, but they should realise, the sooner they deal with the pain, the better for them in the long run. Take the losses from consolidating all that legacy dust now, while Bitcoin price is still recovering.
